Ashlee House
Located a stone's throw away from the King's Cross station, Ashlee House is the perfect hostel combination of safety, convenience, style, and affordability (a rarity in London!). Running the gamut from private rooms (£35-£37 per night) to sixteen-bed dorms (£9-£18 per night), Ashlee House provides rooms that jive with every budget traveler's tastes and sets a standard for many other London hostels to live up to. A friendly, fun-loving and bilingual staff (available 24/7) is topped off by the delightful Richard, who runs the complimentary breakfast each morning (in addition to the usual cereal, toast, coffee and tea fare, they occasionally surprise the guests in the morning with something more substantial by way of pancakes). The staff is also quick to offer up advice on where to go, and their insider information on what to avoid and how to navigate the city like a local are worth the extra cost that comes with staying close to central London. Other perks include landing on the guest list for Fabric nightclub, a free walking tour of London, and discounts on Bloomsbury Bowling and the London Horror Walk (touristo but still good for laughs and history buffs). While occasionally overheated, the rooms are clean, cheery (check out the 16-bed dorm's skylight) and secure (security codes are needed to access each room and are only given by the staff on check-in). The chill-out room (just off the kitchen) has comfy over-stuffed chairs and, like the reception area and kitchen, is muraled in historical London (think Churchill and double-decker buses) done in psychedelic colours. There is an additional luggage storage room and valuables safe. Avoid using the in-house Internet access and go three doors down to the Internet café (less money for more time, less of a wait, and a greater number of working computers). The bathrooms are clean and have enough showers and hot water to go around, but bring your own towel and a pair of flip-flops. [more] |
