GoodJun 20176.8
Great Location with small free breakfast, 24 h Reception
24 h Reception Breakfast included in general very silent room amazing location, close to Holborn as well as Tottenham Hale Station (15 min walk)
beds are especially for tall people too small (app. 1.90) at 11 pm suddenly some works caused quite some noise for several minutes (i.e. if you want to sleep early may be impossible)

I think the hostel intends to keep a good privacy to every backpacker. So every bed in my room is of curtain.
The description says it's near King’s Cross Railway Station. So I got down the Underground train in King's Cross Station. After walking, I found the nearest Underground station should be the Russell Underground station.

Very good location, just 5 minutes' walk from British Museum. Breakfast is modest but is absolutely a plus.
The room is a little stinky(it depends on your roommates). NO internet! There should be a free wifi network but staff said it doesnt work, and the network problem was not fixed during my stay. In this case, to surf Internet, you need to pay 1 pound to use their desktops for 30 minutes.

OkayNov 20105.7
the location is pretty pefect to reach anywhere in central london. the staff are very friendly and helpful.
the fact that the showers are in the the basement and you have to pay extra for a locker in your dorm. also the breakfast could do with starting at 6:30 rather than 7:30 during the week.
