Brilliant place to stay. Though it was roasting in room this weekend due to good warm weather and very humid in the room. This was even with the two fans in the room.

Decent but will try elsewhere next time
Booked a room with fewer than 18 beds but was given a bed in an 18 person room. Toilet was pretty gross, dormitory room had a funky stale smell, but showers were clean and available, staff was good, location convenient.

Great helpful staff.
This is not just for young people, it’s suitable for families and older age groups.
Have stayed several times in females only room and although small it’s good value.
Good location, walkable from Kings cross .
Will be returning soon .
