Very well located. Easy to walk to tube stations, or only 700m to Oxford Street. Clean. Well equipped large kitchen. The bathroom in our private 4 bed dorm was small and very poorly ventilated so our towels remained wet for the entire stay. Otherwise was happy with our stay here.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms and bathrooms were spotlessly clean. It was just under renovation on the outside so unable to open windows during a very hot summer with no fans. So difficult to sleep due to the heat. But if I was traveling in the fall or winter, would definitely stay there again. Location in London was excellent and the price was very affordable compared to neighboring hotels.
