The location is great. Very close to King Cross station. The staff are friendly. I also like free luggage storage. But the place stinks. The Wi-Fi sucks. I mean good Wi-Fi is like the baseline a hostel should have and you fail. There are not enough bathrooms. People have to queue up to get into a bathroom(which combines toilet and shower together, so if you want to pee, you have to wait for people to finish showering).

Ótimo custo benefício

Pelo valor proposto é um ótimo custo benefício. 1 min andando pra Kingcross Station. Supermercados, restaurantes e pizzarias em 3-5 min e próximo do centro. Obviamente n é 5 estrelas, porém atende muito bem.

The hostel was not really clean especially the bathrooms but that s not necessary the fault of the hostel. However the breakfast is located in a travel agency with few places to sit. In addition you get harassed by the agency to buy a trip.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hostel was in a great location but was not clean. Also, the rules are joke and the staff are also the ones breaking it. Examples of this are parties late at night when the common areas should be closed and smoking of week on the premise. Again, staff were around and/or part of the act. Depending on what you're in town for this may or might not be the place for you.

A bit on the dirty side. A very easy way to meet people. Overall it was okay, if you are a light sleeper I suggest not staying here it’s very loud.

予約した部屋と違う部屋だった。シングルベッドのはずが二段ベット、2人部屋のはずが4人部屋。これがエクスペディアさんのクオリティなのか… 宿泊施設と十分な連携がとれていないのではないしょうか… 以下に記載しますが、宿自体は知って泊まっていれば悪くなかったはずなので、とても残念でした。 ゲストハウス自体は清潔にされていて毎朝掃除されていました。 トイレや流し台の清掃や鏡まで清掃していたので値段の割にとても快適でした。 夜は毎日大音量で音楽を流しパーティーみたいになっています。 3階だったのでうるさくはなかったです。 宿の受付の方もとても親切に対応してくれました。

Great location and friendly stuff. But too much noise around the place. Very attractive area. It's not useful for me, but ideal choice for the backpackers.
