In terms of value for money, the room was enough to catch a good night's sleep. For any light sleepers, there are thin walls so you can hear doors slamming and general chatter outside the rooms. Facilities were clean to use and the location is great. Self check in was simple enough too. The staff, from security to reception, were very rude to everyone, not just us. It felt completely unwarranted and seems like the staff have no interest in engaging with customers. Such a shame as hostel staff typically have a reputation for being friendly and approachable! We didn't have the food or drinks there so can't comment on that but it looked lively when passing it.

Considering price, excellent. Stayed over for the Eurostar next morning Booked twin room (bunk beds) with middle aged Mum Not ensuite, but shower room down the hall, toilets were opposite room. Lift all working if tight. They supplied towels in the twin room and fans as was very warm If on top bunk in summer suggest taking hand held fan They had restaurant and 24/7 entertainment/bar downstairs and people were up watching the World Cup. Must have had very good sound proofing as didn't hear anything

Overall a very positive experience, very reasonably priced, helpful staff and plenty of amenities within the building to enjoy and take part in. Great for all ages, only complaint would be the Matresses are very tough to sleep on. Highly recommend otherwise.
