Amazing stay for all travellers
Pros (+) Rooms were clean and location was central and helpful for my needs.
Cons (-) Aside from the basic cost of the bed, everything else was charged at an additional rate and quite expensive. Especially breakfast. Also my bed did not have a fitted sheet, so I had to sleep on the plastic covered mattress.
Pros (+) Staff were friendly, easy check in and excellent location. Close to Kings Cross but still quiet and tucked away. They had shuffleboards which was a nice novelty, but would have preferred basic amenities like a kitchen and working shower instead.
Cons (-) Showers were awful - two didn't have hot water, no space for bags so everything gets wet. There were lots of kids around, including an 8-9 year old boy in the ladies room (you basically have to walk out in a towel because of how small the showers are). Only one bathroom per floor and we had to walk ages to get to it (literally through four sets of fire doors). No kitchen, which I didn't realise wh...

Pros (+) Simple but was all we needed
Cons (-) Mattresses weren’t clean
Walking to King Cross station and St. Pancras international station around 10 mins, transportation convenient. No hot water supply.
Pros (+) Everything was ok
Cons (-) Beds were a bit noisy
Pros (+) the rooms is smaller than we expected. but the hostel is well situated 10mins walk away from kings cross st pancras
Pros (+) Location is great - Close to St Pancras and King's Cross. Staff lovely. I liked breakfast a lot
Cons (-) Bathrooms are horrendous, rooms look old and beds are not the most comfortable tbh
Pros (+) The english breakfast was exellent. Whatever one may wish, all inclusive and a discount from 9 to 7 pounds for hotel residents, coffe, orange juce, milk, fried and boiled eggs, various meat, fruits etc. The dining room is a very comfortable and spacious place where you can sit down with a cup of coffee and a laptop. There is a specially designated comfort zone for smokers. Everything is modest, bu...
Cons (-) Considering that this is a budget hostel, it is unrealistic to ask for any improvements. A good place to stay for a transit passenger for an overnight stay or to visit one or two places of interest.
