For a solo traveler who is simply looking for a place to lay their head but wants more security and privacy than a hostel offers, you can’t find a better value. I didn’t spend much time in the room itself (it *is* very small, not suited for large luggage) and either was asleep/not home when other residents were around, but I came to London to explore, not sit around the house! The tube station is less than a ten minute walk (for what it’s worth, I never felt unsafe as a woman walking alone late at night) and it was always straightforward getting to wherever I needed to be. The bed is more of a cot, so I would advise against it for people with back problems. For anyone else who is looking for a base camp for a London adventure, this is a fantastic spot!
