Great venue for live music, friendly staff and crowd, good atmosphere. I attended for a jazz evening dedicated to Nina Simone which was fabulous! The performers mentioned an issue which they’d had in sound check which was a loud noise from the disco balls above when they weren’t playing which is why I dedicated a star as this wasn’t rectified. I also ate delicious Mexican food in the beer garden which was prepared fresh.

A local gem with a bit of history and a laid-back vibe that makes it perfect for summer hangouts. It’s especially nice to grab a drink and chill in the garden, where the atmosphere is effortlessly easygoing and relaxed. There’s a charming, slightly decadent feel to the place that adds to its character. Depending on the day, you might head over to the nearby park or just stay put and enjoy the garden — sometimes there are food stands too, so you can even grab a bite outside. Either way, it’s always a good time.

Great spot for live music, pool table, drinks, and snacks! Food vans available in the venue and large open seating area make it a perfect venue for a group of mates. Plenty of space inside and outside - highly recommend, especially buzzing during weekend events.

Absolutely one of the cleanest hostel I have ever stayed in. The hostel is located above a live music venue and night club. There can be noise from the venue that reaches the dormitories and carries on into the night. They provide ear plugs on request. Live music generally goes until 11pm on Sunday-Wednesday, 2am on Thursday, and 3am on Friday and Saturday nights. The hotel is quite clean from the common areas to the dorms. The bed was clearly marked with my name and it was already made when I arrived so that's nice! There is light breakfast included. There are small lockers for valuables located inside the corridors. I was in a 10 bed mixed dorm and it was absolutely fine. Fresh clean bedding. Comfortable mattresses and clean towels provided. Felt safe, warm and comfortable throughout my stay. I’ll be back.

Had a 2 night stay here for Wide Awake. Can't complain. I was the last person to check in on the Thursday and I can't remember the name of the staff I talked to but they were wonderful. I'll stay here for next Wide Awake for sure (location is perfect)! Honestly as someone that has a low opinion of London hostels this was one of the best and is the level you'd expect throughout Europe (I'm not kidding only like 2/8 London hostels reach that level)
