All the staff were friendly and helpful. Our 4 bedroom dorm was very clean and the bunk beds were comfy. Tube station across the road and a direct bus to Wembley stadium. Very convenient and good value for money.

Avoid this hostel if you can. I do not recommed it
I stayed in a 6-bed dorm on Saturday night 4 May 2024. Everything went well untill i went downstairs to reception in the morning to seek help with booking a few more nights. I asked the girl on duty to help me identify the same dorm on the website because i wanted to stay in the same dorm and keep the same bed. Instead of helping me, she was very rude and unwilling to help. She told me that it was not her job and i should go to another hostel if i am not happy with her answer. This moody and grumpy girl is receiving a salary from an employer not to help him attract customers, but making them go away to another competitor. The manager of this hostel should review his recruitment process if he wants to stay in business as competition is very tight. I made a booking with another hostel in Hyde Park with much better facilities and free coffee and tea all day. Good luck!

We survived the night, wouldn't repeat!
We (2 couples late 20s) stayed one night in a 4 bed room as just somewhere to sleep instead of like £300+ for hotels. If we were just talking about the bed and clean sheets, for £15 each can't complain did the job. However the shared toilets were stinking worse than any public toilets I've ever used, there was horrendous banging throught the whole night must have woken up atleast 10 times and we didn't go to bed until gone midnight anyway, I was also wearing earplugs! Window in our room was cracked and single glazing, lots of noise from the road, very run down. Stayed in better hostels in Thailand. Reception rude to my partner when he checked in, no need for that. I definitely would not return.
