The hostel entrance is located on Euston Road. The entrance has a secure entry system and requires visitors to speak via an intercom to the receptionist prior to entry. Assistance may be required when entering the hostel as the doors are large and heavy and there is also a raised threshold strip.

The Station View Cafe is located on level access on the first floor, opposite the lift. The accommodation corridors can be restrictive in certain areas and assistance may be required.

Staff: Languages spoken
This is a friendly hostel with a member of staff on duty at all times. Aside from reception and the Cafe all other facilities are self service. With this in mind staff are more accustomed with providing assistance. Whilst there is little in the way of designated facilities for the disabled the hostel regularly receive guests with disabilities and will accommodate their needs wherever possible. There are a number of languages spoken at the hostel, however, we would recommend that the hostel is contacted in advance should a specific language be required.
