I'm pretty sure this was the first and very last time I stayed in this hostel for one simple reason -- although I read some people feel it's a secure place, I was robbed 500 euros inside my bedroom! Not blaming people from staff, who weren't very nice by the way, (except for one guy). Anyone is allowed to enter without any identification, except a visual one. For the biggest hostel in London, I believe this is not enough! It is also a bit far from the centre, which makes you have to buy an Oyster card (23.70 pounds for a seven-day one). The breakfast is great. However, forget about using the internet, as it costs the absurd amount of one pound for only twelve minutes!

There's good security (many video cameras inside — I felt like the "big brother"). It's really clean and it's comfortable. The service people are so serious (grrr).
