“Friendly”
05 Sep 2025
Good hostel. I felt very comfortable and the people were very friendly. The location is good, close to everything, and King's Cross is beautiful. Good common areas for sharing and eating.

“Exceeded expectations. The most relaxing stay. Accepted a teenager”

A great family room family: small but equipped with unexpected: fridge, safe, hair dryer, 3 towels (not obvious in hostels), TV, private minibathroom, extra sheets, stool, 2 bedside tables, drawers, hangers. A cozy TV/ living room. Dining together - on some days for free. Patio. Clear rules concerning noise and cleanliness. Atmosphere!

“Fair”

Great location, near good eateries and transport options. Ensuite room basic, but had all we needed including coffee tea etc. Good noise control at night. Quiet by 10 pm.

“Great experience at this hostel”
13 Jun 2025
I had a really good stay here. What I liked the most was how clean everything was. the common areas and rooms were always tidy, which made the whole place feel comfortable and welcoming. Having breakfast included every morning was a big plus, especially when you're traveling and want to start the day off right. The people and the overall vibe were also really nice, super friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend this place and would stay here again.
