Good cabin but missing power plug

Very good idea of cabin beds, but but lack of power sockets is big minus, and light in the cabin was not working when I was there. Rest was very good.

Great location, right down the road from the KOKO Theater. Plus only 2 blocks from the Camden markets. Was very clean for me, and staff was very friendly. Got a good price on Expedia too! Would recommend any day!

Once I checked in and spoke with a staff member; I was shown the set up with the app and how it unlocked the doors. Really clever. Private 6 bed dorm with bathroom was fab and most importantly was clean. I slept really well, bed really comfortable. I will definitely stay again when visiting Camden. So easy and so reasonable.

The location is very central in Camden and convenient, the staff were friendly and helpful. There was construction outside that was pretty loud early in the morning and the bathroom could have been cleaner, but overall the stay met my expectations.

What a little gem!

What a little gem! We stayed in a double en-suite room and it cost us less that £70. Spotlessly clean with air conditioning. A small room and tiny en-suite but a complete bargain. Reception staff lovely and accommodating

The stay was at a good price but it’s very noisy with you being able to hear people moving about in the corridors and above. Also there was a person sitting in the garden shouting for an hour and when being told to be quiet he carried on. It didn’t seem like the staff were doing anything about it. Another thing to note is there are no lifts or step free access which I didn’t realise so that made it hard to carry up my luggage

Good value accommodation in good location

Good value for a private ensuite in Camden. Very clean, modern room - very comfortable bed. Capsule bathroom is small, but perfectly serviceable. No TV, tea/coffe facilities in the room which was fine by us - coffee, TV in shared room if needed and there is a kitchen. Breakfast is basic (cereal toast juice coffee) but okay to start the day and other options in the area if your prefer- kitchen is super clean. Only issue we had was the request for photo I'd at check in: it's not clear in the info that this is essential - it says they *may* ask for ID (They mention credit card which we thought would be enough) and would request a deposit. They insisted on passport/photo driving license/ID card (no deposit tho). Receptionist was very polite about it, and luckily I had a photo of my passport which she accepted, but they should be clearer as to their requirements.
