I had to be in London for 2 weeks for a job training. The hostel was clean, the showers had hot water and the chill out room had a tv, fridge and microwave, and it is exactly in front of a train and tube station and bus stop, overall I had a good experience. The not so good parts, my room was right above the bar downstairs so I could all the noice, but since the bar closed kind of early and I am a heavy sleeper it wasnt that much of a problem. The chill out room was HOT, very HOT, good thing I could keep my beers in the mini fridge. The sinks in the restrooms were difficult to close properly so every time I went in there, there was water running and wasting. So if you are looking for an OK hostel this is it, the people that were in my room were all friendly and I got to meet really cool people.
