All the staff were friendly and helpful. Our 4 bedroom dorm was very clean and the bunk beds were comfy.
Tube station across the road and a direct bus to Wembley stadium. Very convenient and good value for money.

Nice place to stay for the money
If you’re looking for a place to rest your head at night, then this place is perfect. There’s no thrills or frills but for the price it’s great.

The entire building was kept well-maintained and the environment was comfortable. There is security available 24 hours a day, so you can rest assured.
The kitchen is fully equipped and you can enjoy beautiful views of London.

Great location and it’s exactly what you pay for
Stayed for a concert at Wembley and this was perfect location, easy to get to and from even late
I’m not sure what some of the people on here are moaning about, it’s less the £20 per person so it’s more there expectations that need adjusting then the hotel/hostel itself

I liked how there was someone there 24/7, i love how every day there was cleaners that gave a quick wipe down in the bathroom and sweep of floor. The beds where spacious and comfortable especially as a bigger size female and alot of space in the room to store suitcases and bags under bed with small table and mirror in the room. The shower was excellent as you're able to turn it on and adjust the heating and shower head. There are some power sockets in the room I was staying there was two point by door and another two by the bed opposite me.
Honestly for the amount i paid it's the best room and best place i've stayed while being down near wembley. I would stay again if i'm still in the age bracket as sadly im quite close to the cut off but i would recommend it for anyone.

Excellent stay! Staff was amenable to needs of guests. Everyone worked together to provide best for guests. From the lovely young people in registration to those working the breakfast/snacks, to maintenance & cleaning staff; all were amazing and worked very hard. It would do well to remember this is a hostel and NOT a hotel. If you are not clear on what to expect at a hostel, you may have difficulties as some expressed in other reviews. I look forward to my next visit as its directly across from a train and a bus station. Great location!

Avoid at all costs.
Four bed dorm, two nights, and never again: two foot square shower in the room with absolutely no privacy; lift does not work, and the list could go on.
