Hostellit – Waltham Cross

”If I was rating the Devil’s armpit, this place would be 5/5. Sadly, I’m not. I’ve stayed in many places and this was the worst I have experienced. I booked weeks in advance through Expedia specifically for a twin room with a private bathroom due to medical needs. The description said “private bathroom”. Days before arrival, the hostel said I had actually booked a bunk-bed room with a shared bathroom. I was told the hostel had made an error, but none of their twin rooms have private bathrooms...

”Prisvärt boende! Dessvärre fungerade duscharna dåligt, hittade dock en dusch längre bort i korridoren nära hissen som hade bra tryck i vattnet. Personalen i receptionen hade även väldigt svårt att dra på smilbanden, annars var det ett toppen boende. Bra område!”

”The building is beautiful and historic, but service and safety issues overshadowed its charm. ​Service: My stay began poorly when I was given a room inferior to the one I chose on the Hotels.com app. Staff were skeptical that specific rooms could even be selected via the app and offered no apology.

The room next to mine was...

”Rude customer service plus poor sleeping since people in the shared 10 ppl room were coming and going, talking etc all the time. Rooms in 3 floors, but not toilets/showers on every floor.”

”Budget-friendly option with a great value for money. Very near King's Cross St. Pancras, lockers underneath bunk beds (have your own lock) and comfy bed. Thick duvet, comfy pillow and fresh sheets. 24h reception is key especially when you have no idea when you are arriving. Be it a budget transportation or just your ability to get stuck in odd situations that just happen while travelling. I had my own travel towel so didn't rent one. Shower was ok. On my short stay I didn't get water that...
