Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The accommodation was absolutely filthy. I‘ve never experienced something like this… First of all, we were perfectly on time for the check in, in the end we needed to wait 35 Minutes for someone to come by. We needed to call the management 2 times and still it took that long… Arriving in our room it wasn’t fitting to the pictures shown on the internet. Our room was tiny… there was a small fridge standing right behind the door and very small space to put your belongings in. (If you even wanted that…) The most important point is that the room as well as the bathrooms which you are sharing with different people, which seem to live there, were disgustingly dirty. The bed sheet had several stains on it and the room itself was very dirty. The walls were covered in something we don’t even know… and behind a picture they tried to hide a broken wall. The fridge hat black stains in it and smelled a little weird. The public bath had dirty showers and in the toilet were (you know) …. Stains. At the end we became an new apartment which was better and more private, still a bit dirty but compared to what we‘ve had before much better. Wouldn‘t recommend! Go somewhere else, the area the hostel was didn’t feel safe either many homeless people by night. The only positive point is that it was in Zone 2 Kilburn, with the underground you were quick in the City centre.

Ich war 4 Tage im Hostel, hat etwas lange gedauert bis ich den Schlüssel bekommen habe aber danach war alles super. Ich mein man sollte natürlich für so ein Preis nicht all zuviel erwarten von dem her fand ich die Zimmer und den Aufenthalt dort echt entspannt. Die Leute waren sehr nett und generell hab ich mich sehr wohl gefühlt.

Ein Zimmer in Kilburn
Das Zimmer war sehr dreckig und sehr klein. Für den Preis den ich bezahlt habe sollte man ein bisschen mehr erwarten können. Die Küche war sehr dreckig somit könnte ich vor Ort nichts kochen und musste nur von draußen essen. Welches mein Urlaub noch teurer machte. Investiert also in ein eher sauberes Hotel.

This hostel company doesn't have the best reviews, so I was a little worried about booking, but was pleasantly surprised. After arriving at the address given, we were picked up and driven to a different property. The property where we actually stayed was in a nice, quiet neighborhood close to a tube station. Our room was also really big and bright. The wifi worked well and there was even a washer and dryer to use. Since the other reviews are not good, I guess we lucked out.

Dont stay here.
No staff are actually at the property, I had to wait about 40 mins to be let in by another guest then wait longer for someone to drive to the hostel for me to check in. The keys/locks for the rooms must work for all doors because 2 times other guests opened my door including a man walking into my room at 3am. When I called the staff (cos there aren't any staff there) I didn't get an answer.

Rommet vårt (tomannsrom) var lite men koselig. Kjøkkenet var stort og brukervennlig. Badene kunne vært renere, de ble ikke rengjort i løpet av uka, og siden det er felles bad burde de kanskje rengjøres oftere. Ellers var personalet hyggelige og hjelpsomme.

Una experiencia desagradable y NO recomendable
Nos recibieron inicialmente y enseguida nos trasladaron a otro lugar. Al presentarnos nuestra habitación privada, ésta estaba toda sucia (llena de pelos, sábanas sucias, malos olores en general). Los baños no conocen ni el cloro ni legia, ni cualquier artículo de limpieza.

Una noche en la calle y remitidos a un hotel peor
La llegada fue caótica. Habíamos informado de que nuestra llegada al hotel sería de madrugada y nos confirmaron por e-mail que a nuestra llegada dispondríamos de un código para un "lock box" donde encontraríamos la llave. Sin embargo, ese código nunca se nos facilitó y nos encontramos a las 3 de la madrugada en la calle, a 10ºC, sin hotel y sin que nadie nos respondiera en los teléfonos de contacto hasta las 12 del mediodía del día siguiente y, para colmo, nos dicen que el alojamiento que habíamos reservado está completo y que, por lo tanto, nos envían a uno de categoría mucho mas inferior.

Good in a pinch
As the cheapest option we didn't expect anything lavish but the utensils and crockery in the cupboards were grimy and gross, our oven didn't have an ignition switch, there were frequent blackouts and we never received the second house key we were promised so when returning from work late at night I had to have my sister come down from the top floor to let me in. Also, the prices for the washer and dryer were incorrect as the machines did not allow for the correct change so it cost more than advertised. Having said that the staff were friendly and helpful.
