Great helpful staff.
This is not just for young people, it’s suitable for families and older age groups.
Have stayed several times in females only room and although small it’s good value.
Good location, walkable from Kings cross .
Will be returning soon .

Decent but will try elsewhere next time
Booked a room with fewer than 18 beds but was given a bed in an 18 person room. Toilet was pretty gross, dormitory room had a funky stale smell, but showers were clean and available, staff was good, location convenient.

What you expect for budget
Reception staff just sat on phones chatting with each other, beds not comfy, toilets on top floor were grim. Also heating on full all night. Was a good stay
