The staff was really nice and it was really inn. The location is the best only 15 minutes by foot to the center amazing ! The only flat was that it was really hot on the room. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas Oct 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Standard dorm Hostels always appear on my searches, so thought I'd hive one a go. It's what you would expect from a hostel, toilet and shower shared between the 9 of us in the dorm. Ladder up maybe could be better, lockers where very large, could do with some more hooks for towels (don't forget to bring your own) and better shoe storage. No food allowed in the room, although some ignored that. Note that it's age restricted to 18-45 years old only. ##### Nicholas Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dinesh Bhaurao Feb 10, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beds are too congested and small. reception guy will not let you seat in reception area unless you check-in.. found so rude behaviour.. ##### Dinesh Bhaurao ### 6/10 Okay #### Tongji Apr 19, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness Like many other reviewers, I have to complain about the metal drawers at the bottom of the bunk beds. I thought I'd be ok with it because I usually wear earplugs. But those noises are unavoidable unless you put on shooting ear mufflers. I constantly woke up at night due to that noise and wasn't able to sleep well during my 3 day stay there. Although they offered the cheapest price for a great location, I would have picked a different place where I can at least sleep through the night. ##### Tongji Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 2, 2024 #### Good place to stay in the middle of London. It was a reasonably priced place to stay for a night or two, right where I needed to be. If you don’t plan on spending time in your lodgings, then this is a good choice as a place to sleep and store your belongings. I was in an 8 room dorm en suit, so my experience was dependent on my roommates, which was mostly ok. The bathroom shower/sink/toilet were clean, and there was an additional sink in room. The locker fit my stupidly overflowing suitcase, and the bunk was comfy enough. The only issue was the room itself was stifling with no airflow, which made the bunk feel claustrophobic and hot, despite there being a weak fan to circulate air by the bathroom. I imagine that’s not an issue during other times of the year. If you run hot when you sleep, bring a small usb fan, I wish I did lol. Keep in mind there’s no lift. That’s not a complaint, just a reminder. I was assigned to a dorm four flights up and have a bad knee, so that sucked. It didn’t occur to me to check about stairs beforehand. That’s my fault. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra Amarachi Oct 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Clean room ##### Sandra Amarachi Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DAVID Apr 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Me ha gustado mucho el Hotel tiene la parada del metro detrás, volvería. ##### DAVID Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ivette TodoAmor Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities La habitación de 9 camas es muy pequeña, la cama muy delgada e incómoda ya que está forrada de plástico y aunque le pongas las sábanas te hace sudar. Las regaderas son incómodas porque no tienen una banquita o algún mueble donde puedas colocar tu ropa o mínimo la llave de la habitación, prácticamente tienes que salirte en toalla o arriesgarte a que se mojen tus pertenencias. Los baños son como en un centro comercial, todos juntos, no hay un mínimo de privacidad. El personal de recepción es Amable, pero hay una señora de limpieza (cabello negro y ojos azules) súper grosera, mal educada y agresiva, súper mal educada! Lo único bueno es la ubicación. ##### Ivette TodoAmor Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### morgane Sep 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Séjour super!

Lo mejor que esta muy centrico y tienes el metro al lado. ##### Jose Manuel Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Fernando Julio Oct 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort Razoável.

Das Zimmer jedoch viel zu klein, dass der koffer ins Zimmer gepasst hat war auch alles. Das eigene Bad viel zu klein und die Wasserlwitung innden dritten Stock hatte auch keinen Druck mehr, so dass wir die Gemeinschaftsduschen nutzen mussten. Matratzrn durchgelegen und unterm Bed lag noch die Unterwäsche der vorherigen Besucherin. Frühstück war okay. Personal super freundlich und Hilfsbereit. ##### Niels Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Askild Aug 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Praktisk og sentralt i London Veldig praktisk hotell når ein skal overantta i London. Det er også greitt med gangavstand til Kings Cross og undergrunner er dessutan rett rundt hjørnet. Det er også veldig potitivt med eit fortrekk som gjer at ein kan sova i fred. ##### Askild Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Inês Aug 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Private Twin Dorm Ficámos numa private twin dorm e foi muito bom.

Aconselho imenso principalmente pela localização e segurança da zona! ##### Inês Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Apr 10, 2023 Disliked: Room comfort #### Goed genoeg voor stedentrip. 4 overnachting gehad in 2 persoons kamer met stapelbed. Bovenste etage. Min punten:Helaas vaak geen water en als er water was ijs koud of heel heet. Konden dus al die dagen niet douchen. Kregen maar 1 handdoek per persoon voor alle 5 de dagen. Ontbijt was haast nooit plek voor gewone gasten, grote groepen namen alle plek in beslag. Pluspunten: rustige hostel, ondanks veel mensen aanwezig. Dicht bij winkeks en eetgelegenheden, bus halte en hop-on-hop off bus. Vriendelijk personeel en bewaking. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Perrine Sep 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Arrivée et départ facile. Personnel d'accueil agréable. J'ai pris une chambre privée avec salle de bain. Largement suffisant pour un court séjour. Néanmoins, pas de pression dans la douche, l'eau se coupe toute seule, la température est très difficile à régler. Concernant le lavabo, il y a un effet "d'explosion" quand on ouvre le robinet. Parfois pas du tout d'eau ou très très peu. ##### Perrine Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jun 3, 2022 同じ系列のスマートカムデンインの方が良かった。 立地は良い。駅近い。特にヒースローへはピカデリー線で１本。３段ベッド。カーテン付き。キッチンはまあまあ。 シャワーは固定のやつ、勢いは強い、トイレのすぐ隣だからやり方次第。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Kensington.h26612.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity London Dalston](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Kingsland-Locke.h57227439.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis London Earls Court](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Ibis-London-Earls-Court.h14264.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza London Heathrow T4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-London-Heathrow-T4.h22334825.Hotel-Information) > > [London Heathrow Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-London-Heathrow-Marriott-Hotel.h438504.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Ibis-London-Heathrow-Airport.h16754.Hotel-Information) > > [Danubius Hotel Regents Park](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Danubius-Hotel-Regents-Park.h26085.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-London-Heathrow-Airport.h1716953.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibis budget London Heathrow Central](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-London-Heathrow-Central.h72386009.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stratford, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Stratford-Hotel-London.h31325464.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Renaissance-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h9944.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Leonardo-London-Heathrow-Airport.h570358.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London City](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Arbor-City-Hotel.h201127.Hotel-Information) > > [Tribe London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Tribe-London-Canary-Wharf.h83096424.Hotel-Information) > > [MOXY London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-MOXY-London-Heathrow-Airport.h20463397.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London Heathrow - Bath Road by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Heathrow-Bath-Road.h25727547.Hotel-Information) > > [Thistle London Heathrow Terminal 5](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Thistle-London-Heathrow-T5.h882761.Hotel-Information) > > [Mama Shelter London - Shoreditch](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Mama-Shelter-London-Shoreditch.h1886693.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel London West](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Novotel-London-West.h17246.Hotel-Information) > > [Stamford Bridge Hotel London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Stamford-Bridge-Hotel.h65802.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express London Heathrow T4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-London-Heathrow-T4.h22336089.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place London City East](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-London-City-East.h60903297.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Canary-Wharf.h1457899.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED Hotel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-London-Heathrow.h46218383.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points Flex by Sheraton London Shoreditch East](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-East-London-Hotel.h27372440.Hotel-Information) > > [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information)
