Don't use the 'free pick up from the airport' service they provide. I stood there waiting for 2 and a half hours before the bus came. I was calling up and kept getting told 'it's 5 minutes away.' If I had've been told exactly how long away it actually was I would've just caught a cab or the train instead.

probably the worst hostel i have ever stayed in. they were incredibly rude at the desk, they checked us into a room that had no functioning power, then ahd to relocate us after refusing to fix anything, the receptionist told us check out was at 11am really its at 9am. it smelled awful in this place NEVER STAY HERE!

I like how you needed your key to get to the stair case that took you up to the sleeping quarters, and another key to acces you specific sleeping quarters. So if you trust your roomies then you feel safe in the knowlage that your luggage isn;t going to go walkies..

I don't know about this accomodation very much, 'cause I stayed here for a night. But, even just one night, the staff are very kind, and the bed is comfortable. It's located in the Kings Cross, so it's very convenient to go anywhere. But, room is little messy and smelly. But, I was very satisfied overall

I can\'t say nothing about fun because we were doing a lot of other stuff, so we didn\'t have time to enjoy that part.
