The staff that I have interacted with have been pleasant and helpful. The location is safe and plenty of places in the neighbourhood of varying price ranges to eat at or pack a takeaway.
I haven't lived here myself. My sister did, as this is one of the hostels associated with Cass Business School. They only take post graduate students at this location.
There are 3 categories of rooms. Categories only vary in size and layout. But all rooms have a bed, a study desk & chair, a mini kitchenette (2 electric hobs, a microwave & a mini fridge & sink) and an attached bath. The size of the bathroom is comparable to one on an aircraft with the addition of a shower.
Meals aren't provided.
There is bicycle parking underground and laundry facilities in the basement (to be paid for) There are a few common rooms with tv & some tables, but they don't get used much.
It seems there are much better hostels around available at better prices and with better facilities. Unfortunately, overseas students who have to take a housing decision before they arrive in London are compelled to choose between the 3-4 options provided to them by the university.
