The stay was at a good price but it’s very noisy with you being able to hear people moving about in the corridors and above. Also there was a person sitting in the garden shouting for an hour and when being told to be quiet he carried on. It didn’t seem like the staff were doing anything about it. Another thing to note is there are no lifts or step free access which I didn’t realise so that made it hard to carry up my luggage

Once I checked in and spoke with a staff member; I was shown the set up with the app and how it unlocked the doors. Really clever. Private 6 bed dorm with bathroom was fab and most importantly was clean. I slept really well, bed really comfortable. I will definitely stay again when visiting Camden. So easy and so reasonable.

Good cabin but missing power plug

Very good idea of cabin beds, but but lack of power sockets is big minus, and light in the cabin was not working when I was there. Rest was very good.
