    Value for money was great, got a clean room with private facilities in a cool area. Staff treated me like family, helping with everything and making my stay comfortable.

    Food for breakfast could be better, maybe more variety or options.

    The hostel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the showers had hot water. The location was fantastic, with easy access to public transportation and nearby bars and shops.

    The noise from the nearby venues could be heard late at night, making it difficult to sleep.

    The hostel is conveniently located near a grocery shop, making it easy to purchase necessities during your stay. Additionally, the bus stop next to the hostel provides convenient transportation to the city center, allowing for easy exploration of all the tourist attractions.

    The hostel lacks attention to detail and fails to provide comfortable accommodations for guests, as mentioned in one review.

    Perfect Location: The hostel is situated in the heart of Shoreditch, which is the ideal spot for exploring the vibrant area. It is centrally located, making it easy to access all the popular attractions and enjoying the lively atmosphere.

    Noise Levels: One downside of the hostel is the noise levels, especially during the night. Noise from the bar next door and other guests in the hostel can disturb sleep.

    The location of this place was perfect, with shops, cafes, and bars all within walking distance. I also appreciated the fact that they had a kitchen where I could cook my own meals and save some money. The staff was helpful and friendly, making my stay comfortable.

    My main issue with this place was the cleanliness. The rooms had a weird smell and the staff didn't change the bed sheets during my stay.

The area is buzzing with bars and places to eat and drink, making it convenient for socializing. The staff, including the helpful member with red hair, were friendly and accommodating. The hotel facilities were safe and secure, and the WiFi was very good.

    Didn't dislike anything about the property.

    Right in the heart of one of the trendiest areas in the city, it was perfect for exploring the local shops, bars, and restaurants. Additionally, the staff were really easy-going and friendly, which made for a welcoming atmosphere. I also appreciated that breakfast was included, as this is not common in most hostels.

    There were a few negative aspects to my stay. the noise level was quite high, especially on the weekends.

    The reception staff were brilliant, going out of their way to make us feel comfortable and happy. Facilities were poor, except for the rooftop terrace and well-equipped kitchen. The private room with private bathroom was clean, well presented, and had all the basics and amenities we needed as backpackers.

    Felt very secure, no reason to complain.

    Great central location in a lively neighborhood, perfect for those looking to experience the vibrant nightlife and party scene. The hostel provides a fun and lively atmosphere, ideal for students and people on a gap year. Conveniently located near key attractions and amenities, making it easy to explore the city.

    The dorm rooms can be cramped and overcrowded, with limited facilities and small bathrooms. The cleanliness of the rooms can be improved, with dust on the floors and dirty kitchen facilities.

    The location of the hostel is fantastic, with easy access to attractions like the Tower of London and the bridge. The high street is also close by. There is a super friendly little cafe right on the hostel's doorstep, providing convenient dining options. The private room I stayed in was warm and the bed was cozy. The hostel had a communal and sociable atmosphere, with lots of people coming and going and chatting with one another.

    Felt so at home, nothing was too much trouble.
