Alexander

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Decent enough for the price but what was irritating was how cramped the room was. They packed so many people in the room that you could barely move if everyone was there at the same time. And a lot of the amenities were out of order or to be worked on. It was frustrating because you’d have to walk down a few floors in order to shower. On top of that the room was always hot. Not sure if I stay here again. Location was probably the best part of this hostel.

6 bed room are very small so we 6 people in and every had a small suitytgat can not fit in the narrow lockers under beds it was crowded. Window had to be open all night as other you can't breathe which means you get all the street noise in. Luckily, I had my eye plugs so it wasn't too bad. Beds are comfortable and showers reasonably clean. It's super convenient to Kings Cross station. I would recommend it. The staff were kind and helpful. 👍

I had a private room, but it didn't have a curtain and was overlooked by an office (let alone the need to make the room dark to sleep in). I managed to cover these up myself, but not sure how you can rent out a room like this. Bed was comfortable and Kitchen is great, but no curtains spoilt the trip.

Steven

Liked: Staff & service
If you’re on a top bunk it’s unlikely you’ll get a nice sleep, as there is a skylight which means if another room turns their light on it shines into your eyes. Coupled with this, is etiquette from other guests is poor. However the staff who work there are excellent.
