    Extremely bad - the worst place I've ever considered staying: not maintained at all, dirty and old. The pictures on the ad don't reflect the reality at all, not even close! More like the opposite, to be honest. Toilets are disgusting. Kitchen is really bad. I am even embarrassed to admit I've considered staying there... Simply shocking! Don't stay here, honestly! For just £15 more you can get so much better around this area. I am attaching some pictures, but the place looks 1000x worse in reality.

    This is not that place where you want to stay for night. Mold, rust, open switchboard is a regular thing here. We arrived late and our beds we're not prepared and without linens. We had to sleep in clothes because manager didn't have extra for us. Some toilets don't have a door! We slept in basement with no windows in room. Just take a look on pictures before book this place.

    ! DO NOT GO THERE ! Just see the pictures I posted. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST s***hole ever. Honestly, 0 stars is what this place deserves and it should NOT even be advertised as a hostel, it's a SQUAT house. It is not a hostel, it's a complete ramshackle, it reminds a place where a bunch of junkies would sleep! Facilities are terrible, no light in our room or the toilet, no hot water in the building, not even a kettle to make yourself a cup of tea. Beds were squeaky, matresses worn out.

    The building is a bit run down and the entrance isnt clearly marked. There's actually a big realtor "sold" sign on the building so when I first saw it I was afraid I'd booked a room at a place that didn't exist anymore. But the bed was comfy, bathroom was fine, there's even a kitchen. The wifi didn't work however, so I had to go to a coffee shop anytime i wanted to get online. Staff was nice, and it was priced quite cheap for London.

    DO NOT GO HERE!!!! THE PLACE IS A TOTAL SHAM. the most filthiest & rotten place I have seen in my life, they use fake photos from the internet, i'd rather sleep in a hole, than sleep in a filth like this, let the photos speak for themself!! could not even stay here for 1 night, once i saw the place i asked for my money back!! hot water not working, filthy bathrooms, mushrooms coming outta the bathroom, mice everywhere, cockroaches health authorities need to visit this place, its a big health hazard!!!
