    All the basics and a nice atmosphere

    The bathrooms were very outdated/small and the private ones were too few. It was the only place I could change in private. The beds are so small and cramped and everything in the room was noisy. Some people in my room didn't care at all about how much noise they made, but that's what happens if you room with other people. Plenty of people did not clean after they had been to the toilet and the staff sometimes left our room door open. Thankfully, my things were locked away.

    The staff was kind and very helpful. The people were kind as well. It was easy coming and going. The communal areas were good and plenty to do. I could ask plenty of questions and the location is fairly central. Overall a good experience.

    I think there wasn’t enough toilets.

    It was clean and the common areas were big.

    I only stayed for one night because I went to a concert. You get what you pay for, a bed in a dorm. It's clean enough and everyone was very friendly. Can't say I slept well with 5 strangers in a room, but that is just hostel life. Location is very central and it's very easy to get anywhere from here. The facilities themselves were great, lots of big communal areas.

    The showers are too basic. Not any changing rooms or a shelf to put your things, and we had to share the showers with the guys. It was never too busy but it can definitely be improved.

    It was easy to use transport. The kitchen was very nice and equipped.

    The doors weren't secure. They had an issue with the door locking tech. The bathrooms could have been cleaned more regularly. There were no bathrooms/sinks on my floor

    The location was great, close to the angel station. The staff were amazing as well. Free walking tour, Free pancake day, cocktail evening, loads of good things to be pleased about.

    I can't think of anything not to my liking because all I basically did there was sleep, and I managed to do that just fine.

    I only needed a bed for the night and was out the rest of the time, so I cannot really comment on other things than 'I got what I wanted', but I got the impression that I was kind of missing out of on much more things to be done at the location itself.

    No events while we were there (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) Brita (water filter) was kinda gross, it definitely needs a replacement.

    We liked the multiple social areas and spaces. There was a living room area, kitchen, tables everywhere which was wonderful. The actual neighborhood was nice as well, great bars and comedy scene. Clean sleeping area, kitchen, social areas.

    One of the only two good showers on the top floor was out of order (as of this writing), some of the kitchen sinks were overflowing a bit, and nothing else I can think of!

    The property was in a great location near the Angel Station, the staff were great, there were sufficient electrical outlets, the beds were comfortable enough, some of the lockers were great, and there were cute murals on some of the walls.

    The property was near a subway train station (Angel Station), the staff were extremely nice, the wifi mostly worked well, the rooms were decent, there were sufficient electrical outlets around, and there were very cute mural paintings on the walls.
