Extremely clean, renovated hostel in great location

The rooms and large parts of the hotel were newly renovated, the beds for a hostel OK. A flat picture television hung in the room. The hotel is in a 'scouts', so the scout. The breakfast was -even for English standards- bad, the bathroom a small Kunststoffkammer, whilst showering one set all underwater. Because of the cleanliness and the great location I would recommend this hostel but definitely recommendable. read more

It is as far as everything was good, room with radio tv storage space... But the bathroom is very small, of 2 square meter and the water is not to drink thought! Vermiderte quality, the staff speaks fluent English, German partly flowing and fragile French, it is right in the middle of in the town so it was a bit louder, but subway / bus / supermarket / bar/food within 500 meters. It is rather a Jugenthotel so lots of young people the are somewhat louder read more

Hello, the hotel is itself very good for staying overnight and having breakfast. There is a good traffic connections(5 minutes underground-Piccadilly Line-Gloucester road), exactly are opposite the station a Tesco supermarket, a burger King, a fish & chip restaurant as well as a Starbucks coffee shop. Opposite the hotel there is a natural history museum (free). the breakfast is delicious unfortunately there are only toast (wheat and wheat) and so cheap was usually warmed up rolls. You get sausage & cheese, Nutella, jam (different types) and honey. There was also sweet Quark with dosenpfirsichen, warm and cold milk, Cocoa powder ... therefor, coffee and hot water for several types of tea. the rooms are for 6 people really small and the bathroom is also not the largest 2 square meters, with the shower flooded the bathroom ☹ but nevertheless are the rooms and the bathroom was clean, even the beds are clean and dhaben no choice Fllecken. the front desk is nice and partially German-speaking, great is the, but honestly in a fremeden country wants one nevertheless also speak the language or?! It is also 24 hours a day, you can really Always check in and also always to the hotel or out. so with some downsides the hotel is to recommend fully, so a lot fun at the meininger and dnatürlich in London, enjoy it!

Is lacking ☺. Joking aside. After asking we got brand new bedding and pushed the service just return the cushion in the hands... Exactly yellow stains.!. No new high, but at least clean. Only the mattresses in the single beds, the constant in the small room wall erten, (so came the white stains on the floor. White stains under beds, the constant slide apart... Kopfkino...) if you were, had my daughter and I stand, the children in the bunk beds, my small son and my niece, foam rubber mattresses had, since no springs!

    breakfast: Pre rolls, which a few Jiffy Heat used would have. An empty container, on the ' beans' State. Portion Packages marmelade, Nutella, salted butter, honey. Toast. Apples. Yellow and red sweet water, should probably be juice. Coffee, (Err...?) tea milk warm and cold. Muesli, cereals, Quark. You should keep order, but real order made sure no one from the staff, which consisted of a person. A dish cloth would have been, I would have wiped even. at reception there was a snack to buy.

But well, so we could walk through the town without a suitcase.... one was outside the front desk anyone of the staff hello... I know it differently, from hostels. the Conversations at reception in English, however I had heard, the the staff in another words German mumbled to... '... Because of the w-LAN... Yes,... Already called...) why? You can German guests, in a' German ' hotel in German address, in London? I was clear, but apparently there are people, the can hardly a word of English... dealing with complaints please read rooms... He once, it worked. A service-plus: we bought tickets for the London eye and the dungeon, but only read on the second day of, otherwise we would have the standing in MD. Tussouds (?) regarding and their maps bought. So you save the unnecessary line up and quick-inputs required the use of the attractions.

We chose this hostel because of its great location, which is almost unbetable for the price. It is a large building, so don't look for any warm welcoming. We were really surprised with the size of the bathoom in the 12 person dorm, which was a plastic cubicle embedded into the room with a familiar unpopular Formula 1 hotels feeling and dimensions. For a great price you receive a modern standard accomodation, so if you don't spend much time in the bathroom this is a good choice. read more

From the school we stayed for 2 days in London and therefore a night in the hostel. The hostel itself was quite ok. You can here for a night sleep. The rooms (in our room, in the 6 of us) was small - for one night ok. The bathroom was too small, you could just nicy. The cleanliness of the room was ok - like in the entire area. The breakfast (apparently it was a typical British breakfast) is not recommended. I don't know how expensive it was, but there was only rolls, bread, cheese and ham. Not the that ... wasn't enough, only the yes really from, but you can't speak an English breakfast. As I could tell, have stayed several guests in the hostel. were locked out there weren't any German guests, which makes the hostel not bad. read more

    First be said, that next to the entrance of the hostel was that the hostel a 4 star hostel. And for 4 stars are the room my opinion too small, although it is a hostel. The bunk beds were pretty good. As mentioned, the bathroom was much too small.

    In the immediate vicinity there was the Science Museum (own view not recommended, although the free entry was) and the National Geographic Museum. If you left the hostel, go to the right to the traffic lights turn left and walk across the street to be walk 300 meters to get the "Gloucester Road" (metro station) to reach.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very limited and not well maintained which means: not for everyone a cupboard (existing closets grime and filth inside), worn matresses, holes in the bedding, dirty small bathroom, festgetretene chewing gum stuck in the carpet and so on ... My conclusion: you Take extra bedding, precaution for the entire bathroom, flip-flops for showering and slippers to walk around and is not überzimperlich regarding the cleanliness you can certainly go there with small expectations. We still had a lot of fun! Kristin read more

The location of the hostel is good. However, the hostel itself very easy in equipment and services. The rooms are pretty spartan, and have a Plastiknasszelle. The so-called with Billigprodukten stocked, the breakfast buffet is also not be refilled if empty. Not worth the money. Internet is very expensive £1 per 15 minutes. For the great house there is only one small elevator. Will certainly in London visit this hostel not more. read more

The needed pad-locked fridge can ask at reception for £5 be rented. In the direct vicinity of the hostel is the Science and the National History Museum.
