    Beds were comfy and warm, however the bunks are 3 levels so when one person moves, everyone feels it. No privacy curtains or shelves on the beds, there’s 2 usb ports and 2 wall sockets but the USB ports didn’t work. The lockers aren’t big enough for two bags, my 40L backpack fit quite snugly but no space for my smaller bag. There’s a key card for access to the hostel and rooms, but mine randomly stopped working after one night so had to go down and wait for it to be reset. No lift, just stairs but only 3 floors so it’s fine. Definitely not enough toilets to accommodate the people staying, and they’re all so wet all the time so you can see the mould build up, and toilet paper ran out a lot without being replaced over the entire day. Generally though the hostel was tidy, and even with a bar downstairs it wasn’t loud in the dorms.

    The best part of the whole stay was the food, great burgers and great breakfast, with discounts for people staying at the hostel. Pub quiz every Thursday which draws quite a crowd, and all the staff were super friendly. Decent location, only a 5 minute walk from the bus stop and maybe 10 minutes from the train, but it is going away from everything else so walking this way at night you’re one of the only people on the street.

    The only real problem I had were the bathrooms. Some of the showers didn't drain very well and didn't vent the build up of steam effectively.

    Location was perfect for my needs to public transportation, parks and tourist sites. The beds although a bit small were adequate and generally comfortable. The staff were very friendly, knowledgable and accomodating. I also appreciated the ability to have food prepared 24/7.

    The rooms could use some updated. Paint chipping and bed squeaks.

    It was good for the price. Nothing too impressive, but it was fine for 2 nights.

    No reading light on the bed. Very hard to squeeze in a bunk bed. Ear plugs necessary like in every hostel. The house is tiny and for solitary travellers

    It is close and remote at the same time. Good blankets, clean and fresh except modest shower areas, nice little pub with good drinks and burgers. Peaceful. This was my 3rd or 4th time there.

    Thought the room size was small and no facilities for guests to make there own food as I'm an early riser so kitchen wasn't open.

    The staff were great, location and food of the white ferry was very good, well priced for what you get.

    The beds were very uncomfortable. The mattresses were not thick enough and could feel discomfort from the bed frame below. The top bunk of 3 shook with everyone’s movement. There was an emergency light in the ceiling that had a small but overpowering bright green light that lit the room in a sickly green tinge and on the top bunk was hard on the eyes.

    The staff were friendly and helpful. The luggage lock up was great. Being able to secure my stuff while I explored before check in was the best.

    The bunks were comfy but lacking in one thing (a privacy curtain) which is nice to have in hostels offering mixed dorms. Otherwise clean and comfy

    Great location yet quiet street for good nights sleep. Warm and cozy good bathroom facilities.

    The location of this hostel is absolutely amazing! I have stayed here before and went back because of the location. It is very close to the Victoria train and coach stations, lots of local buses and the tube. The neighbourhood is very beautiful. The rooms are practical, although I would not recommend for a long stay as they are a bit small and do not have that much room for suitcases. The bathrooms are fine, although there are not many bathrooms for the number of guests so usually there is a bit of a wait. The staff were nice and the pub is nice too.
