The reception of this hostel is manned twenty-four hours a day by staff of the property. Guests frequently mention this as reassuring from a security aspect, but also helpful for any issues that may arise out of ordinary daytime hours.
The hostel is located quite a distance from central London, thus quite a commute is required by guests wanting to be in the centre. The underground and DLR do not run twenty-four hours a day and therefore guests report that reaching the hostel late at night is quite difficult.
Several guests criticise the facilities in the bathrooms and mention in particular broken hair-dryers and hand-dryers, as well as a lack of mirrors and sinks. Guests find it especially troublesome in the mornings when dozens of people are trying to access the bathrooms at the same time.
The free breakfast provided by this hostel is frequently detailed as small and lacking choice. Guests report it consists just of cereals and toast and that it could benefit from a wider selection to include hot foods.
