The kitchen had everything I needed to cook meals and extra touches like sensor lighting in the common areas meant it was easy to make my way to my room when coming back late at night.

    It was a great hostel experience. The location was perfect, near the city center, even by walk and also quiet and lovely neighborhood. All areas were neat and very organized. The breakfast was simple but value for money. The team there is very friendly and seems like they put love on their project.

    Great location- about 10 minutes on bus or tube from the middle of London, won't say it's the nicest neighborhood in the world but lively and loads of nice, cheap food places just up the road. Beds are comfy, plenty of floor space to pack and unpack. Everyone in my room was really quiet and respectful of each other which was refreshing! Staff are also lovely and very friendly. Will definitely be back- my new go-to London hostel.

    Convenient hostel located just next to a metro station. Each bed is equipped with power sockets, personal light and a curtain, which allows for some privacy inside an otherwise big dorm. It was possible to work from the hostel since there are some quiet areas, and there are some places to eat around, cheaper than in the city center.

    There's so much to like. Great value, very clean, great breakfast, great location and, most of all, a great host. It is 2 mins walk to the station for trains into London or South. It is incredibly quiet - I slept with the window open and heard no noise all night and I'm a very light sleeper. Fabulous value.

    It is a lovely guest house in a great location. The pub is very good for drinks and food. The bus service is excellent to the city centre. Stoke Newington is a very attractive area with good shops and cafes. Clissold Park is right beside the guesthouse and it is lovely for walks.

    Great location on a quiet street in the now gentrified Kings Cross area. Lovely and usual design concept. Really comfortable bed. Really charming and helpful hosts. I wished I could stay longer. It's really a perfect base with everything you need for exploring London.
