I’m so grateful for this place!! This was the perfect place to stay and for my first time to London by myself I felt so safe there. It was extremely clean, easily accessible, and everything I could’ve needed for a price that worked for me and made a trip to London possible. If you’re a solo traveler this is perfect and a major step above a hostile.

It's a lovely facility, but I had booked a female only dorm and a man went into the shower when I was there. I let reception know and they were apologetic, but not sure if anything was done about it. They thought that maybe the man was a guest in one of the rooms.

It’s okay!

Not the closest to tube or bus stops. Info not clear as too which building you are actually in as there are two. The mattress as so lumpy and uncomfortable both in a double and single bed. The show had good pressure but in the first room before we moved the shower attachment was broken.

Close to tube station, restaurants & grocery store. Easily walkable area, good security. Able to pay for meals which are very reasonably priced, usually 2 choices. Laundry available again very reasonable price. The negative for some people is shared shower room & toilets for basic room.

Best-kept secret in London!

This place is AMAZING! A room that took me back to my first year uni days (but much bigger and nicer) in a wonderful area of Bloomsbury. Breakfast in the Great Hall, original art everywhere, beautiful outdoor spaces and lovely, helpful staff. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. And ridiculously cheap, too!

Fantastic location (close to King's Cross and Russell Square stations) in a quiet area. My ensuite room was very clean and they provided towels and toiletries, you'll have to bring your own hairdryer though. Bed could be a little bit more comfortable but overall my stay was great. Friendly and helpful staff all around as well. The breakfast was a good option to have too and was very reasonably priced.

De Zhen, Calgary

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
My room was right below the buttery and I feel close to the laundry room. It felt like the walls and floors are paper thin because I could hear the noise from people using these facilities and passing by my window outside loud and clear. There are quiet hours from I think 11pm-7am and people are pretty respectful of that. If you are a light sleeper or likes to hangout in your room for a bit during the day I would definitely recommend requesting a quiet room, not in the basement and away from those areas. My room also didn’t have elevator access either so if you need a lift, make sure to check that with the college as well. Other than the room itself, the accommodation is in a quiet area with good restaurants nearby and a 10min walk to King’s Cross subway and rail station.

You are staying on a small college campus, so it is very safe & secure. There were some events going on, but overall the campus was quiet. Room was large, clean & comfortable & had good wifi. Very short walk to SoHo, West End & several Tube stations. There are a lot of bars/restaurants around but most of them close early due to it being a smaller neighborhood. Overall I would definitely stay again!

Clean and comfortable halls of residence

A very nice halls of residence, so don't expect TVs, drinks making facilities or similar hotel facilities. Also shared bathroom (all should not be a surprise). However, rooms are very large and comfortable and there is a kitchen you can use.
