Pros (+) Location, clean sheets, comofortable beds, good self check in system.
Cons (-) I had a very strange and uncomfortable interaction with the security guard, who told me I was not allowed to smoke a cigarette on the public street outside the hostel. When I tried to explain that what I do outside the premises shouldn’t concern them, another staff member got involved and claimed they were "politely asking" me not to smoke there. If that had been the case, I wouldn’t have had an i...

Pros (+) The guys In generator helped me out big-time when my phone got stolen in london. They went above and beyond by giving me good comfort and kindness when I was vunerable
Cons (-) N/A
Pros (+) Location was decent. You would have to be mobile. It was not noisy - we could sleep peacefully. The shared toilets are clean.
Cons (-) The bedding was very light.
Pros (+) Beautiful place Spacious bed and rooms Beautiful atmosphere Excellent

The internet wasn't good. Download 7-1...
