Journeys King's Cross Hostel

This is the first time I've ever given a five star review. This is without a doubt the best hostel I've ever stayed at, for so many reasons. The rooms are cheap, and you get what you pay for having to share the room with strangers. But this is much better than any other hostel even at twice the price. Excellent staff, friendly and helpful. Great location close to the tube and many nearby restaurants and stores. Free breakfast, not great but much much better than nothing (I had tea, juice and toast with jam, worked fine). Wifi everywhere. The showers are much better than hostel standard, and I never found them to be too cold as some others have posted, they were just perfect. The fuse by my bed broke when I was here, and the staff was fantastic at fixing it right away. They have strict rules for orderly conduct at the hostel, and they seem to follow up on it since everyone was extremely well behaved. I have absolutely no negative comments. As long as I can't afford a private hotel room, this is where I'm staying while in London.

Located right next to King's Cross station, this is an ideally placed hostel. Which is probably the best thing it has going for it. Stayed here for two nights in a twin room with my travel companion. Room consisted of a twin bed, safe, small table and chair, small TV and a window. It was tight, as was the rest of the place, not a big deal but people who travel with a lot of or big luggage might have a tough time. "Breakfast" consists of toast a variety of jams and coffee and tea. Bathrooms and Showers are shared, clean, small and limited stalls. There is a kitchen and bar although I did not make use of them. Staff is friendly but everything is pretty much self service. Price is relatively cheap when talking about London. All in all its very average but your milage may vary...
