Actually a nice hostel which was kinda cosy and like a home from home for one night. Staying here longer is better as you have a kitchen and stuff to use and you’re in a good area for shopping. I will deffo go back soon for a few days as its location is great for transport all over city.

The kitchen was equipped for cooking, but the building is old, not all of the rooms have doors, the pest control gave me a rash, and there is always someone in the hostel who snores very loudly or causes you trouble.

The property is very nice looking from inside. It feels like a home, but with many people in it. Everyone is friendly and minds their own business. The staff are friendly and helpful. Lockers in the rooms would be a useful asset.

Good kitchen, location near low income housing (maybe single women should avoid it), seemingly disorganized with regard to bed/room arrangements - they couldn't decide initially where I was to sleep, limited reception times so checking out and getting deposits back can be a problem. I paid to hire a locker (which was refunded) but the key which I was given could open other lockers so security-wise it was no good!

The Hostel is fully riddled with bedbugs. The management do not how how to handle the situation and get really aggressive when you tell them the truth . It's a lovely place but it requires a management that cares about the guests. If you are concerned about your health , please avoid this hostel. The manager is quite hostile when you speak to her regarding the situation. The place needs to be closed for health and safety reasons. Giovanni YANFUL ( stayed for 1,5 months) Withing this time period the management did not change the beds. Avoid completely.

Recomendo

Muito bom… eles tem funcionários que passam o dia limpando e aspirando o chão, banheiros limpos todos os dias… é uma família brasileira que administra o hostel. A Geruza e o filho dela Vinicius ficam sempre de olho no serviço dos funcionários… fiquei hospedado 17 dias e observei bem como é o dia a dia lá no hostel… a maioria dos hóspedes é homens que são trabalhadores lá da região… teve alguns dias que vieram casal de turistas que vieram se hospedar… no meu caso eu fui sozinho pra conhecer Londres e fazer turismo… tem a linha Central de metrô White City que fica a 3 quadras do hostel e eu fui sem problemas do aeroporto Heathrow até o hostel usando o metrô… eles tem uma regra… o check in tem que ser feito das 14 hrs até as 23 hrs… mas tem como fazer check in depois das 23 hrs, mas somente entrando em contato com eles pra eles do hostel te passarem a senha da porta, número do quarto e da cama… se não for feito contato com eles antes dessa forma que falei não adianta tentar fazer check in depois das 23 hrs. Este é o único detalhe. A rua é bem calma, não tem barulho de bar nem barulho de trânsito…
