Traveller's reviews and ratings
The inn is held by nice people, but the experience of sleeping in a 17 bed dorm was hell. Disrespectful people for one's sleep, 3-level bunk beds, there was no hot shower the first night. And if there is a person laughing very loud in the lounge room, you will hear it from your room (maybe not as much if you are in the higher levels of the inn). Also, you have to pay to lock up your labtop and any valuables: £5 deposit + £1 per day. And your suitcases will be at teh reach of anybody in your room. I didn't get stolen anything but I was never secure when I left the inn for the day.

It looks like a not really what I had imagined... But super experience! Atmosphere it's going, the home is nice, not have any worries!
The hostel and between central London and Camden, next station, the metro and bus...
A recommend!

I had two nights in this hostel and leaving I whole body which démangeait me! This because there were small bugs (kind of mini bugs) that are installed on my body!
It is horrible to live and that is inadmissible in terms of hygiene!

On arriving, the reception staff were friendly and check-in was quick, and everything was explained to us clearly. Beyond that, it wasn't so great. The rooms had too many people in them and there wasn't anywhere to put luggage except the floor, although the room was pretty clean. There was only one toilet on the floor I was staying there. The kitchen and lounge were in the basement, and fairly dark and cramped, although again pretty clean. Free breakfast is toast and cereal, which you have to make yourself. The beds are three-tier bunks and so you can't sit up in them, although there is a light in each bed which is good. The windows were open all night because it got stuffy in the dorm, and in the morning the traffic noise was very loud. I was glad I only stayed here one night, but if you do choose to stay here, invest in some ear plugs and maybe find somewhere else to eat breakfast.

The only advantage of this hostel is its location: close to saint Pancras. However, the cleanliness of the rooms and showers is unsatisfactory. I wish especially to note the absence of hot water, showers are freezing permanently. In winter, the heating of the House was ineffective... Even if this hostel is expensive, there is still a minimum of comfort to meet.
