    (Translated by Google) Won a 3-story bed in a 9-person room. Looking at it, the 1st and 2nd floors remained, but it was based on the 3rd floor.. In addition, I was surprised that the futons were dirty. Once the dirty futon problem was solved, life was not as bad as I thought. There were no bad bugs, and the location is good, but the shower room is a place where you don't want to wash a little. (Original) 9인실에서 3층침대 당첨. 보니까 1,2층 남아있었는데 3층준거.. 게다가 이불이 더러운 상태라 놀랐다. 일단 더러운 이불문제 해결하니 생각보다 생활하기는 나쁘지않았다. 배드버그도 안나왔고 위치도 좋고 다만 샤워실은 살짝 씻기 싫게 하는곳.. 해바라기 샤워기인데 키고끄는데 엄청난 힘이 필요하고 남여공용이기에 젖은 그곳에서 옷을 다 입어야하는 불편한 정도

    Hostel Review: I stayed one night at this hostel and had high hopes. But unfortunately it wasn't as good as expected. The Staff: Not to much of their fault, but they are much more concerned with the restaurant and bar then the hostel guests and the guests seem to inconvenience them more than anything. Definitely not the type of staff like at most hostels who are going to go out of their way to give you tips or help you have a good time. Vibes: Probably one of the worst hostels I've stayed at for this. The only common area is the bar itself which is open to the public. Thus it can be quite difficult to distinguish who is staying at the hostel and the staff doesn't do much to help people meet each other. By the end of the night it's seemingly hostel guests all sitting alone at tables unsure who is acutally staying there. You also don't get any discount at the bar for staying there and can't bring your own drinks with you up stairs. Rooms: What you expect for a city hostel. Small rooms with lots of beds. The beds were comfortable with USB sockets. It is a little stuffy but nothing out of the ordinary. The bathrooms were a mess, one toilet was broken and they are only cleaned once a day. Overall this is a bar, that seems well run, with a hostel plopped on top, the hostel truly plays second fiddle to the bar in this case. If you are looking for a place to stay for the night and are not concerned about meeting anyone or having some amazing staff direct you in London then go for this place. If you want more of a classic hostel experience then look elsewhere and to meet people go anywhere else.

    (Translated by Google) I recommend a plumbing store there is a whole range of highly sought-after connectors and adapters that you will not get in typical chain stores (Original) Sklep hydrauliczny polecam jest tam cały asortyment bardzo poszukiwanych złączy i przejściówki których nie dostaniesz w typowych sklepach sieciowych

    There is one washroom in the first floor with 2 toilets for more than 40 people. But one of them was broken my whole stay. The morning guy in charge answered to me that I’ve paid for a shared toilet so no complaints. I’ve been travelling around many hostels in my life, never found worst attitude for working than here. Will not return.

    Rooms: 9 people in a room that clearly do not fit. Also, there's always a huge line to get to the bathroom in the morning Nearby activities: Pretty close to Westminster
