The Facilities

Dorms

This hostel has 4, 6, and 8 bed dorms. The rooms are a bit small, but this is very common in London hostels. All of the rooms are co-ed, so do note that there are no female only rooms. This is a hostel where you shouldn't plan on spending a lot of time sleeping, so expect a basic room with metal framed bunk beds.

Private Rooms

If you want to enjoy the party but then return to your own space in a private room, then you'll likely appreciate either the double or twin private rooms. The rooms use shared bathrooms and are still affordable. It's a great option for friends or couples who want to take advantage of all of the hostel's amazing amenities but don't want to deal with the hassle of staying in a dorm.
