London Backpackers Hostel

I'm going to try to write something about all of the hostels that I stayed at in Europe. The first two nights of my trip I stayed in the London Backpackers hostel. This was my first experience with a hostel and I didn't really know what to expect. It was fine for how much it cost.
+ Cheap
+ Free Internet
- Way out of the city (Zone III on the Underground) which necessitates buying a more expensive metrocard and not really being able to drop into the hostel during the day. The hostel itself was right next to the Hendon Central Underground station which was nice.
- All of the beds in the dorm room squeaked a lot. Basically any time one of the ten people in the room moved at all.
- The bathrooms were kind of crappy and the showers could have been a little more private.
