Huge Hostel in the most central location of London 2nd June 2009

I'm giving 4 stars to this hostel because it's the most central hostel in London you can sleep in for that price!

You can choose from a 10 bed-room to a single en-suite room (although some 8 bed-rooms have a shower as well). One night in a 8 bed-room i.g. is 16 Pounds during the week and 20 P at the weekend. I wouldn't recommend to stay in a single or double room because you can get better rooms in a hotel.

There are about 700 beds on 5 levels (there's a lift) a luggage storage for i.g. when you arrive early, nightly party events (although I've never been there), a common room, an Internet café and a breakfast room. But all I can say about the breakfast, is: It's ridiculous! You get a voucher on your arrival for one free slice of toast! There are much better cafés around the corner to have a healthy breakfast after a long night out.
The rooms are not that clean sometimes, especially in the 4 bed-rooms (I don't know why that is) while the 6 and 8 bed-rooms are better, but as you will only be partying, shopping or sightseeing anyway, you only do need a bed to sleep in at the end.

What else can I say?? I don't know, but if you are searching a cheap hostel in the middle of London, this is the best you can choose!

Good review and very useful for casual visitors to our extortionately overpriced capital.
