The receptionist were friendly and helpful. This was appreciated.
The room was small and lacked a bedside table. The laminate floor felt sticky. It seemed like it hadn't been cleaned properly. it was hard to turn on the shower, I needed help from the staff

quiet locationdated roommissing hook
The location was excellent. I liked how quiet it was and how connected I felt with nature.
The room looked like the last one available. It was a bunk room with six beds for just two of us. The room was quite dated and very basic. It even lacked a hook on the bathroom door. I also saw some scribbles on the wall. I didnt enjoy it.

Affordable Stay Near London

I found free parking available. It was nice to leave my car and take the train to London. The hostel felt secluded, though shops are nearby. The train line is also a short walk away.
The room was quite basic. The furniture looked tired.

The area felt magical. It seemed far from the city (surprisingly). Central London was only 25 minutes away. I was kinda surprised.
