Although the lack of air con is a big issue and everything’s a bit dated and sad. It could do with a spruce and lick of paint. Which they can definitely afford to do with the amount they charge, especially for the extras like washing machines and lockers. I paid an 8th of the price for hostels in south east Asia with better amenities and quality, And they felt like 5 star hotels. The WiFi was absolute garbage as well. It all feels a bit stingy, they really cut corners to save money, when they could do with air con, better WiFi (it’s the 21st century), electric locks, free luggage storage like the rest of the world. ##### Average Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Feb 4, 2020 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort 혼자 여행하다보니 저렴한 호텔을 이용하고 싶어 여기 감 조식도 주고 리셉션 직원도 매우 친절함 다만 킹스크로스에 있다보니 치안이 그닥 좋지 않고 조식 시간과 체크아웃 시간이 너무 이름... 이거 엄청 중요한 문제임 혼자 여행하는 여성분이시면 여긴 비추예요 한달 정도 있던 같은방 룸메한테 물어봐도 똑같이 대답함 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 29, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Personnel super accueillant et gentil.
