The air is not well ventilated, filled with the smell of decay, and the room is very hot.
Everything else requires a fee, including luggage storage. In normal, storage the luggage should be free for guests, but here is charging fee.
Besides, The cabinets in the room are free to use, but you must buy their locks at the reception to use them. They cost 4.5 pounds each, and the actual cost is just 1 pound. These details should be noted before the guests to booking the room.

The ceiling of the bunk bed is incredibly low. FYI the beds are stacked in three, in a narrow room. You’ll feel every movement of your upper-bed roommates. Not so comfortable.
Location is superb. Common room is quite big and nice, you can work there.

The hostel is clean, very well located, and offers great value for money. The service attitude is excellent. The location is unbeatable, right next to the British Museum, making everything easily accessible. The staff are incredibly friendly. Management is also quite good. You can even cook here, and I particularly liked the shared showers and toilets. The only downsides are that the kitchen can get crowded with so many people cooking, and there are often groups waiting to check in because of the high guest volume, haha. Also, it would be great if the bunk beds had a bit more space between them, haha, though that might be asking for too much!

Everything was excellent. Exceptional value given the location. The metro is a 3 minute walk and the entire area is the UJ's largest university district with all amenities within walking distance. The hostel was super clean and there is a communal kitchen. The common space was also exceptional with outlets including USB and most tables. Would recommend 110%

The hotel was clean. My room was on what they call the second floor in Japan, but I couldn't figure out where the restroom was even with the map. It was a bit of a hassle to go all the way down to the basement every time I needed to use it. I still don't know if there was a restroom on the second floor.
The beds were bunk beds, and you'd hit your head if you weren't careful, but for this price and quality, I'd say I'm satisfied.

It was incredibly cramped. I was on the middle bunk and couldn't even sit up to drink water. I still don't know how I managed to climb up there and squeeze myself in. However, cleanliness and safety were not an issue. Everyone gets their own duvet cover, pillowcase, and bed sheet upon check-in.
