  : The Hostel is fairly good located in the city centre. Kings Cross Station near by.
  : This if definitely a Party Hostel and in this case probably acceptable. We stayed in a 4 Bed Dorm, which was ok, but dirty and greasy and not well looked after at all. Bathroom were a bit cleaner. The Hostel is in general really worn down and you can see that there's party going on every night. So just don't stay here if you are not into party hard all night or have a light sleep.

  : Nothing. I booked for two people, it said there was 4 rooms available left in the 4 bedroom mixed dorm, I booked the two, when I got there I needed to book for one more so went to book for it on the spot and they said there was no more beds in that room, I went online in front of them and it said it did hence why I didnt book it and waited till we arrived. Because it was false advertising and we didnt want want seperate rooms, I asked for a refund which was refused. It was filthy and full of drugs.

  : Very lovely people in the Hostel.
  : There are Cockroaches in the Kitchen and very dirty Bathrooms, especially the shower could need a clean up. Its very party focused, which causes a lot of noises.

Disappointing
Traveller Type: Business Traveler
  : The comfort room is very nice
  : Small kitchen, the dining area is very small for the amount of people who stay there which makes it even worse that you cant take the food anywhere else but there so have to wait even though 80% of the people eat their food and continue to sit there for hours, theres rats everywhere including one I saw inside
