Had to switch bedrooms.
At first they put me in very dirty and disgusting bedroom with some women who seem to actually live in the hostel. There were old pots, books, food, kitchen utensils, clothes and all sort of dirty things all around the bedroom (on the floor; hanging, etc). It was really difficult to find a space to even put my suitcase (I put on the bed after moving some of their clothes). Everything was a mess and smelly. I felt like I was in a detention room. I really try like crazy to find a different hotel the day I arrived, but it didn’t work out. Thankfully, the next day the morning receptionist recognized all this issues and put me in a different room; a much cleaner one (there were only empty beds and a wardrobe as expected) where I met 2 actual tourists like me. In fact, these girl are very nice people and I had a wonderful time in London... If you think you can face this hostel and on a budget is the only way to visit London don’t forget your disinfectant spray, sanitizers, linens, toilet paper and towel. Hum, a sleeping bag wouldn’t be a bad idea. London is worth this sacrifice.

Not impressed
Website details were totally off the mark from the truth. The driver who was going to "pick up from victoria station" wasn’t around, much easier to make your way there from Kensal Green station which is a piece of information they do not rely to you. Internet is 3 pounds a day, showers for males are in a cubicle in the room, and beds were not the greatest but tolerable.
Traveller's tip on recreational activities
Train station is 30 seconds away on the waterloo line, and night buses run (from memory the 5/N5) gets pretty close.
