Instead, I crossed the street and scored a great hotel room at the Regent Palace Hotel, with full service, for a few pounds more.
Though I was a walk-in without reservation for that day, the hostile hostel would not refund my money when I checked out within an hour. I seldom tell hostel management I'm there to review the joint... interestingly, I had done so. Perhaps you'll have a better experience, but I wouldn't send a friend to this hostel. And I sure wouldn't pay $61 for a room here. Oh, wait... I did.
