Sticking with the well connected Kings Cross Station area here is a little blurb about Ashlee House, a hostel for the more quiet inclined backpackers.
Designed by Amsterdam 24-H architects about 10 years ago, initially you might get the sense that some updating might be in order and that there is a feeling of it being a little drab. However, Ashlee house is in a good spot and has a lot of potential, barely a 2-minute walk from Kings Cross Station and just round the corner from lots of shops and restaurants. Right by the front desk is a great board listing all the activities and tours available from the hostel. Even though it is one of the smaller London hostels with only 171 beds, Ashlee House also offers a laundry, family rooms and basic breakfast.
I think the only downside to this great spot is that each room has coded doors, which involves needing to remember numbers and letters, this might be a little difficult after a night on the town.
For more information or to book check out the Ashlee House Hostel.
