| Comments: This place was disgusting. Got there and the "free shuttle" was not available because the driver was getting breakfast.which is just toast and juice.
doors are so hard to open. its way far away from the city in a bad area. staff was rude. everything was filthy. caters to older people and migrants it seems. please spend the extra pound or two and stay somewhere safer, cleaner, and in a better location. would never stay there again. hootananny the second night was great |

| Comments: VERY close to station which is literally just over the road (on the bakerloo line) & is only 10 min ride into centre London.
It is also convenient for gigs etc in Wembley.
Overall it's very convenient if you have lots to do in London but can't afford to splash out on a hotel! |

| Comments: fairly clean, most staff are quite friendly and helpful, kitchen in need of repair and you`d better have your own cooking utensils, you have to pay for wi-fi acces in the tv room and its not cheap at all same for the bar which is mildly overpriced for what it is, overall its ok but you can probably find better value for money |

| Comments: Fantastic value, basic breakfats included. The communal kitchen equipment is poor, so difficult to self cater. Noisy road at the front. Staff found my passport (I'd dropped it a day before), then found me and returned it before I knew it was missing. Its a good basic base. |

| Comments: A cheap hostel outside of town. For 5 GBP a night, it was quite a bargain but I'm not sure its worth much more than that. Breakfast is toast, WIFI is NOT free (3 GBP / day), and pretty dirty altogether. The kitchen didn't work either.... |

| Comments: the rooms were ok but the beds were horrible, pillows aren't an even size.
the shower is in the dorm so everybody knows your taking a shower.
breakfast was .. well lets not talk about that, there were only a few pieces of toasted bread and butter and jam and cereals. the only thing what is ok, is that it is 100M away of kensal green tube station. |

| Comments: A nosotros nos toco la noche de año nuevo y fue un desastre, todo estaba muy sucio, a unos pasajeros les robaron las maletas y la ubicación era un problema, ya que estaba muy lejos del metro y el bus pasaba muy pocas veces al día. Mas encima creo que para todas las habitaciones que tienen no pueden tener solo 2 baños. |

| Comments: One word: It\'s crap. Don\'t trust the pictures they\'ve put on the internet. It\'s really dirty, you just don\'t want to sleep on these matresses and sheets. The staff is unfriendly and speaks only broken English and you don\'t really want to meet most of the people around there. Don\'t stay there, even if it\'s just for one night, you won\'t be able to sleep and if you\'re out, you\'ll be worrying that s.o. might steel your bag while you\'re away. It\'s really utter crap. |

| Comments: Quality of food in diner and at breakfast leaves something to be desired.
Seemingly nothing to eat in the coffee shop if you don't eat cheese.
Door to my room (219) did not lock automatically.
Matress on at least the bed I slept on had springs virtually coming through. |

| Comments: It´s sheap if you want go for 5 days may be, buy if you can pay for something beter, do it! the shower are in the room, that it´s very very bad and somepeople live there and they are not very nice people. The hostel also it´s not too far away, with the oyster card, you can go to the importants places in london. |
