Great hostel

I really liked this hostel! I stayed here for a night and it was clean, quiet and you get a sense of privacy if you book the pods which i did. The location is great only two minutes walk to Kings cross. would reccommend

Me and my husband have been there for 3 nights. A cozy hostel near King's Cross train station and underground, staff is really kind and has many services. Rooms are well heated and you can choose the level of heating. Kitchen and common areas are well equipped and in the morning you can have breakfast prepared by the staff. Only "negative" thing is that some areas like bathroom near rooms is not so much soundproof, but no dramas. So, hostel well recommended!

I stayed in a pod and it was one of the better hostel experience i had. The pod provides a lot of privacy and ample sound proofing. The pod is also large enough to fit me (188cm, 6'2'). The common facilities could be cleaner. the bathroom and the showers are quite cramped for a large person like me. the area is very convenient located next to king's cross station.
