I really loved this spot, I had a single room so I can't comment on the common sleeping areas. It was overall clean and welcoming. They had great common spaces to sit and relax. The only mini flaw is that the kitchen is really small and when the hostel is full, you may be waiting a while to use it, but at least there is a kitchen!! I would stay here again.

The staff was nice, the location is pretty cool near the underground and some shops, the beds are ok, curtain, little stand to charge and locker under the bed but tou ear a lot of noise from the hostel and outside. My bedroom was right in the entrance so you have to pass in front of it to go to the bathroom
