el hostal está bello y el staff es súper amigable y accesible. muy bien ubicado y cerca de líneas de metro o lugares turísticos caminando. Lo único que se me complicó es que la cama tenía un techo extremadamente bajo, era incómodo moverme en ella. de ahí en fuera, me parece un gran lugar

Amazing staff, all very friendly and inviting. Events in the bar most nights, friendly environment and easy to meet other travelers.

Todo bien, camas y cuartos aceptables, el desayuno aunque costoso, es abundante. Baños aceptables. Lo único que definitivamente no me gustó fue el personal. Tienen una actitud de alguien que no quieren estar ahí y sólo lo está por obligación, ya que aunque tienen cordialidad básica, no hacen el mínimo esfuerzo por ayudar, prefieren coquetear con las chicas o sólo no hacer nada. Necesitaba ayuda y más fácil la conseguí en un tienda. La única persona amable fue la chica del desayuno.

The only downside to an otherwise great stay is the amount of bathrooms and where they are located. Otherwise this place has one of the best social vibes, staff (Divesh and Ruby in particular), and it’s in a good location! Would defs stay again 🙂

Ottimo posto e ottima posizione. Tranquillo e pulito. Personale disponibile e cordiale. Nella camerata dove ho alloggiato tutto in ordine. Molti servizi utili tra cui alcuni senza pagamento come il tè caldo a qualsiasi ora del giorno (per me il massimo), uso della cucina per il fai da te, ecc. ecc. Rapporto qualità prezzo buono. Consiglio e ci tornerò se vengo a Londra.

It has all the basic necessities. Looked so charming from the pictures and turned out to be quite basic just basic, nothing extraordinary or spectacular. I will never stay in the 24-bed suite ever again. None of the staff stood out to me. The location is too far from the rest of London considering the horrible traffic here. Used to be a children’s hospital and still smells like one.

Probably one of the cleanest hostels I’ve been to so far especially for the price, so would definitely recommend. Biggest downside is the location it’s a bit far from the city centre so keep that in mind when booking.

+++ Staff is very nice and they organize cool activities at the bar every evening. Bicycle Parking in front of the hostel. Regular cleaning. Lockers to rent. --- The water isn't drinkable in the bathrooms and you have to go to the lowest floor to find tap water to drink. Kitchen is small. Unfortunately not a great experience but mostly because of the other guests ...

Todos da equipe foram muito prestativos. A casa é linda e a localização é ótima. Os banheiros precisam de limpeza mais frequente e seria legal ter algum lugar além dos penduradores nas portas para deixar as roupas e as coisas para tomar banho.

The location is good. Most attractions are within a half-hour tube ride. Camden Market is nearby, which is useful for eating out. The Finchley Road bus stop is just a 5-minute walk, which is very handy if you're taking Flixbus. Much more convenient than going to Victoria coach station. The common areas are big and have plenty of space to use your laptop or wait with your luggage. I do wish the kitchen was bigger. And they should really provide drinking water foundation on all floors. You have ...

It’s not bad for what you get, solid location too. However they advertise 24/7 desk service and one night I forgot my keycard at my bed and locked myself out when I went to the bathroom. I waited for 15mins at 1am to no one and had to get let in by another patron. Also the kitchen is way too small for how many people are staying there, it’s impossible to share with almost anyone else. Other than those things it’s fine.

Was für eine Freude, in so einem tollen Haus ubernachten zu dürfen. Alles super organisiert, es bleiben keine Wünsche offen (außer. Dass es angenehmer wäre, wenn die Betten ganz an der Wand stehen würden). Aufenthaltsraum ist wunderschön mit bequemen Sofas, riesigen Fenstern, Stuckdecke und Kronleuchter...

The building is beautiful outside and in. The kitchen is extremely small and narrow with only two cookers, which makes cooking very cumbersome and there are often queues to get inside when many people want to cook at once. Toilets could be cleaner but not awful. The continental breakfast was not really worth the price but the staff is very nice and friendly which made meal times pleasant regardless.

Superbe endroit et très bien aménagé. Le personnel est très accueillant et disponible. Les literies sont parfaites. Le coin salon est excellent. Nos enfants ont adoré le billard et la zone bar restaurant. A recommander.
