Riq is a great guy! Very hardworking and always keen to lend a hand. He has a great vibe and loved to get involved in the social aspects of the hostel.

I had amazing weeks at the hostel. It is by far the BEST LOCATION in London! Lucy, Andrew, Petra, Alex are all amazing. It is fun, clean and a great place to be a worldpacker: I improved my English, learnt new skills (handyman), made new friends and saved a lot of money. I totally recommend Dictionay for those looking to have a deeper experience. My tips: get the Oyster to save money, enjoy their awesome breakfast (free for volunteers), discounts in the bar beside, free laundry, great kitchen. Be social, smile and make sure all the guests are having amazing times! Keep the good vibes up!
