    Like the other reviews say, the pods get hot at night and there’s no ventilation in the rooms. I brought a USB fan that really helped!

    Great place to stay! They even let me check in 3 hours early because my room was ready. I was worried about safety in the area having read other reviews but being from another major city, I felt fairly safe as a solo female traveler, at least until 9-10pm. Also really appreciate the lockers in the room, big enough for a carry on and backpack with some space to spare.

    No fridge in the kitchenarea (chill out room) - that's a no go. I know it is not easy to run a fridge in an area that is far away from control.

    The room was perfect for 4 people. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hostel is situated close to Conolly station, convenient, but women might feel uncormfortable at night time.

    The breakfast was a joke for 12€, I've had breakfasts in Central London hostels for £5-6 (yes, this year!) that were superior. I was honestly shocked. The breakfast staff as well was kind of rude and couldn't be bothered, also accused us of trying to get breakfast without paying even though we had done just because no one had explained the system to us. The environment was nice downstairs, but the corridors upstairs felt a bit prison-like, don't know how else to put it. We had a private room which felt nothing like the pictures. Far worse than a budget hotel, horrible view, and overpriced for what it actually was.

    Nice environment, very friendly staff at reception, felt secure. Powerful, hot shower.

    It’s noisy at night- with the chattering and bands from the streets below, because we were located at 1st floor, and the window was opened for air (summer time)

    The pods are comfortable and clean. In the women’s dorm, there is a bathroom in the room. There is lift access.

    It’s a shame that there are no kitchen facilities, food is available but obviously this makes your stay more expensive than if you were self catering. It is possible however to get hot water from the bar if you want to make your own hot drink. The property has a large left luggage storage room but the lockers are not free and this can be also quite an expensive additional cost if you want to leave your luggage for a few hours and are travelling on a budget. It’s actually the first time I’ve had to pay for leaving my luggage at any hostel I’ve stayed at.

    The property is spotless - the room and my pod in an eight pod mixed dorm was clean and peaceful . The bathrooms were all extremely clean and well stocked. The property has a lift which is a godsend if you have heavy luggage. Plenty of nicely lit common areas to sit and work or hang out. The dorms were spacious with good lockers, personal shelves and intelligent lighting avoiding the need to use a torch if coming in late so it’s not to disturb your fellow roommates.

    The only downsides to the pods themselves are that indeed they get very hot (the rooms in general are pretty warm already). Also, that only USB sockets are provided in the pods. This just charges your devices much slower. Thankfully managed to fully charge them overnight.

    First time staying in a shared dorm. Thought I'd hate it, but it was pretty good thanks to the privacy curtains! Overall most people in the dorm were quiet and didn't bother or interact with me. The room was clean and the staff is very friendly and around 24/7 if you need anything. The extra ladies bathroom on the first floor is also a nice touch.

    Might be a bit cleaner in the shower (inside the shower) Also, get earplugs, or you will hear all the music from the bar downstairs. And I would not say that it was cheap, however, good for the price

    Very big hostel, there were people checking in all the time. Also, the staff at the reception were there all the time to help you. The room is good, there are sockets in the room and also USB-A and USB-C chargers in your "niche". The bed is okay, only you need to sleep with your head toward the room, so you get fresh air; otherwise, the curtains will not let air (and light) to come in. The shower and toilet were in the room, and also in some common areas. In the room, there were also shampoo and shower gel. There are lockers for each room with a code lock, so no personal lock is needed. Breakfast is fine: potato pancakes (sort of), fried eggs, sausages, apples, bananas, everything for cereals with milk (+toppings), cheese, salami, bread and buns, tomatoes, cucumbers, juice, coffee, tea. No towel. But it is possible to buy one from the reception for 4 euros as well as get a travel adaptor (and earplugs). Every night, there is an event in the bar downstairs (karaoke, music jam, etc.)

    The only issue—which has come up a few times before—is that the bed can get a bit warm, even though it was only around 12–13°C outside. Also, I personally found the pillow a bit uncomfortable.

    Check-in was super easy and fast. Breakfast was great with lots of options to choose from. The bathroom was clean and spacious, and the shower had an automatic switch-off after 15 seconds—which wasn’t a big deal to turn back on.

    the rooms were HOT at night, took me a long time to fall asleep, not just because of the heat but also because of the noise (in the hallway and on the streets), people in the hallway kept going into their rooms and you could hear the doors open and close so loudly! also, I am 1,80 so my bed was too short and I didn‘t have a lot of space.

    bathroom was amazing, clean and huge. rooms were always clean
