Ashlee House

Ashlee House tries to keep the vibe youthful and urban while it is just dirty. Rooms are dorm style (bunk beds for up to 12 people) and you get clean sheets everyday, but not a clean blanket! Computers with internet access are located in the basement (also where they serve breakfast), but since everyone smokes down there, it isn't a pleasant place to hang out (unless cigarette smoke with no ventilation doesn't bother you). Showers are dirty and you have to press a button and the water comes on for 10 seconds at a time. We stayed 3 nights, and on the remaining nights of our trip (7 nights total), we found a nicer hotel for less $ down the street. I usually don't complain about where I stay while traveling, but there are much better hotels/hostels out there for the price. The only thing I liked about staying here was that I met a lot of interesting people from all over the world, and it was in a good location to Kings Cross Railway Station.

This hostel was dirty and loud... I stayed there threed nights. The toilets were broken. It was horrible to take a shower having the smell of toilets full of s*** and p** . There were two Italian girls working there whose English was very bad. They were not friendly and not willing to help. Only one receptionist ( her name was Lucie) was very nice and helpful. She gave me tips and answered all my questions.

I will never stayed there anymore and not recommend this hostel to anybody...

I liked the hostel, it was close to St Pancras, easy to find when I arrived. Reception staff was great and we even went out for a dinner and for clubbing.

Rooms were small but it's London and I didn't expect anything more for the money I paid.

British museum was just 10 min away and Camden Town was the best place ever - go there! I walked from hostel as it's close enough.

Coming back in a few months and definetely will stay in Ashlee Houser again!
