London Hostels

Pros: Nice staff that are very friendly and helpful with tips on London! Extra showers and toilets outside rooms are very helpful when people are using the ones in your room!

Cons: Not having WiFi in rooms is a bit of a pain.

Pros: The location, food menu

Cons: Uncomfortable bed, very small room

Pros: It was great, nice room and bathroom (I got room for 4), big kitchen, very nice staff

Cons: I would just like in kitchen to offer some free things like tea or sugar, paid breakfast could improve their coffee (too watery) and add cheese at least, for these two reasons I didn´t buy it after first day, but they advise you to look first and pay if you like so it is not like you don´t know what are you paying for Like it was said here before, windows can´t be opened and in warm weather it would make dificult to sleep there, fans will not help much.

Pros: I was impressed that the hostel had facilities in place to make it accessible to people with physical disabilities The location is very convenient and close to underground, and bus station. Also the hostel is cleaned everyday. The internet is strong and only in the common areas which was nice to see lots of people and socialize I stayed at the time where the hot water heater had problems and the hostel refunded 50% of the cost, I liked their effort

Cons: Majority of the staff are helpful and friendly but there is an area for improvement. For example one male staff of indian decent usually didn’t like to help find solution for any problem and put blame on guest or just avoid responsibility.

Pros: Will always stay here whenever they have availability. The best hostel I have stayed so far in London.

Pros: Welcoming and clean and great location

Cons: Problem with the boiler so not hot water but staff offered a discount and an alternative venue to shower etc

Pros: Location is easy access to the central London. I stayed in 4 pax's room and it excessed my expectations

Pros: Nice staff, they refilled soap upon request once we realized it was empty. Overall status of our 6 bed room was OK, could be a bit cleaner and tidy. We could leave luggage before checking in and after checking out in the dedicated room which also has lockers. I'd definitely recommend for low budget families and backpackers. There's Tesco Express and Sainsbury nearby. The bedroom was adapted for wheelchair in case of need. Solid bunk beds that don't shake when someone moved.

Cons: Not enough warm water on the 1st night for the 6 of us. Wi-Fi in bedrooms is not intended to be available (only in common areas like reception and kitchen). Bathroom was a bit smelly and sink tiny.

Pros: Great location. This was the first place we went in London and the staff helped us to get our feet on the ground. The beds were comfortable and the food was good fro the price.

Cons: There was construction outside our room.

Pros: the kitchen is spacy with enough utensils that you can easily cook and staffs clean the kitchen everyday.The bed is comfortable with clean bedsheet. The location is very central.

Cons: The bathroom within the room do not have hot water.

Pros: Great has lace to stay. The staff are excellent. Always courteous and doing their best to keep the place tidy.

Pros: It's closer to the supermarket, Underground and bus station. I will stay there again on my next visit to London.

Pros: Hostel is very clean, toilets are most of the time clean, hand soap and shower gel provided in toilets, there is are hooks to hang clothes in the shower, good smell everywhere, rooms and beds are clearly numbered.

Cons: No steps free access to upstairs rooms. Can't change a reservation made the same day.

Pros: clean, quiet, fair price. However, the lift were broken for more than 3 days and it was not fixed.

Pros: How clean it was

Cons: How rude the staff member was checking me in. For someone who's never stayed in a hostel before she really put me off she wasn't welcoming at all.

Pros: Style

Cons: No WiFi

Pros: Clean, quiet, easy to get around. Big room and bathroom relative to the cost.

Cons: They're very strict about check-in time, which was kind of silly given how uncrowded it was. Also the bed could be a little better.

Cons: This hostel asked me to changer the room for every night as I travelled alone. I reserved 5 nights and slept in 4 different rooms. The suggestion of the staff was either I accept it or ask for a refund. The explication was that as individual traveler, we need to move for the group traveler. So, I packed my luggage every morning and made a new check in every afternoon. What an inconvenience! The Hostel has an astonishing policy and it's totally unfair. By moving the clients in order to fully occupy the room, they make a maximum of benefit.

Pros: The staff was helpful. Facilities were fresh looking and nice albeit the showers were a bit tight. This is hostel living with 8 in a room on bunks.

Cons: Rooms were very warm despite opening the windows and it being cool in the evenings.

Pros: The location is good. The breakfast was value for money. There was a reception area where people can wait.

Cons: I got insect bites on my neck and arm after just 1 day of staying here. I had the biggest problem with the shower situation. I thought it would be like a dorm, but it was not. There was only like 2 shower areas for the whole floor of many rooms and many beds! It was always occupied and I had to wake up very early just to shower. Plus it was always wet! The shower head was not detachable. It was very disgusting. I had the most inconvenient shower experience ever and I have been to many hostels. Someone might reply that I should have told the management about this etc.. But what use will it be? Every person who showers will get the whole floor wet because there was no glass partition. Only a disgusting shower curtain. Even if they clean after I complain, the same disgusting thing will happen again RIGHT AFTER the next person comes out of it. The receptionists do not seem very into the job either. They were professionals that is true but they were not trying further than that? I am talking about the little things, nothing major. Like if asked about a good restaurant, they claim to have no knowledge about it? They are not like other receptionists in other hostels who are friendly and can talk to you about the hostel’s vicinity. I also did not like the fact that an early check in has to cost 5gbp. I felt terrible about it. It was not very welcoming of them to do that. I will understand if the room is not ready... but if it is already ready 1 hour before, then charging 5gbp is obviously greed. Do yourself a favor and book the room WITH the shower inside. That is less disgusting.

Pros: Location was great. Breakfast was value for money. Wifi was fast. Bathroom was clean. Shower head still not detachable but at least bathroom not as disgusting as the shared ones. I booked a different room before in the same hostel and TRUST ME. You have to book this one because this is cleaner.

Cons: This was my 2nd time. The first time I had a horrible time and I still can’t get that disgusting shower situation out of my mind. Also none of the rooms seem to have a charging station near the bed. Always far and it made me paranoid. I could not charge my phones overnight. Smart beds will go a long way! Several other hostels in big cities have that type. Hope you will look into that ‘coz you need an upgrade. Your staff hopefully can be more friendly next time? I feel that the staff of hostels should be the welcoming kind.

Pros: The food is hotel very good. Crossint ,bread ,coffee and juice is good quality. The bar also very good in the hotel.

Cons: Hotel staff is very good and provide 24 hour facilities. Hotel is also clean and good.

Pros: The elevator was out. A staff member carried my suitcase upstairs. My room was freezing. They gave me a space heater.

Cons: Hotels were cheaper. The location was hard to find. The taxi ride there was expensive. Climbing stairs. and having to carry my card to leave my room. They don't want you to eat in your room and threaten to use dogs. People smoke outside the eating area. 10:00 check out. I later stayed in a 4 bed room with bunk beds. My friend's shirt was stolen while she took a shower. I didn't know where the shower was. There were no towels or paper towels.

Pros: Very hygiene and clean

Cons: Breakfast so simple didn’t like it

Pros: Clean toilet

Cons: I wish there were bigger window

Pros: Clean and comfy

Pros: Price

Cons: Can't have the free meal if you check out.

Pros: Free parking only..

Cons: Personal attitude, poor bathroom facilities, no heating..

Pros: I liked the sturdy bunkbeds and the curtain provided some privacy, wifi was good, breakfast was alright. I got what I wanted.

Cons: I stayed in 002 which is the room next to reception. Whenever I needed the toilet I had to cross the whole reception area and sometimes through the school groups and when you're wearing your pjs it's a bit embarrassing. In that room there are two shower cubicles, one should be a toilet. Other than this, it was alright. My issues were with people being totally inconsiderate towards others.

Pros: Clean and nice atmosphere

Cons: Nice breakfast

Pros: They have a lot of space for setting up your computer and work, although it is not comfortable. Free lugagge storage. Great free coffee options. Fast check in and check out. Plenty showrrs and toilets. They are very clean too.

Cons: The mattress is to thin and, although i appreciate pods, this one is 190 cm or less so it very uncomfortable for tall people. The duvet would is also small. The bar was closed throughout my stay. I would appreciate if we had some, yogurt, tomatoes and cheese for breakfast but its ok. Ohh the banches have no leg room at all

Pros: The hostel is located very close to Waterloo train station which makes it possible explore the important places of London on foot. Rooms and bathroom were very clear.

Pros: Everything else.

Cons: Some noise from some customers.

Pros: The location of the hostel was great! My first night there, I walked into town to see the London Eye, Parliament/Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey. Then, I walked back. Round trip: 1 h, 30 mins. The hostel is also close to a Tube station, so getting anywhere is a breeze. Staff were friendly, price was good, and there was a good mix of travellers.

Cons: Close to a major road, so you get a lot of noise :( Only two showers and two toilets between approx. 25 people. I'm actually quite surprised it wasn't too much of an issue. Bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner.

Cons: Central location, very nice staff, quality bedsheets. Maybe not the dreamed toilet and shower facilities

Pros: The pub is great for laying back and practicing some people watching and they always play really nice music. You get a 10% discount in food and drinks, burgers are delicious. Staff is very nice!! Very close to train station and a few bus stops.

Cons: Cigarette smoke from people outside in the garden gets in the rooms sometimes, but only until the pub closes at around 00:30am

Pros: The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, the hostel was modern and clean, just like the pub downstairs. The breakfast which was added on in the morning was delicious. Can not get any better than that for the price

Cons: Nothing negative to say.

Pros: Clean room, luggage storage, bar opened all night. Good for a brief stay or for travellers on a super tight budget.

Pros: Location, vibe and cleanliness (private room).

Cons: Noisy, I recommend earplugs!

Pros: First of all, amazing staff, so helpful and kind. Location could not be better, really close to public transportation (underground and buses). The discount in the pub is a nice touch too.

Cons: The shared room got really stuffy in the night, so I guess some AC could help to keep humidity out

Pros: Everything, the food, the drinks. All the guests are really cool. And all employees are hard working and nice.

Pros: Everyone was extremely friendly! The discounts are very good if you stay there, and everything is relatively clean, especially considering the price. If you are looking for a hostel that is well connected this is great, 5 minutes from the tube and 1 minute from multiple bus routes.

Pros: The location is fine and, surprisingly, the noise from the pub wasn't too bad. The bed was comfortable, the locker worked and the room was reasonably big.

Cons: It's quite hot in the rooms (one of the people sleeping there had a fan switched on the whole night pointing at him, so he get the cooler air and the rest of us got the noise), the shower didn't work properly (no hot water would come out, and i tried everything) and the bathroom was quite messy. There doesn't seem to be enough bathrooms/toilets for so many guests. Either the socket in the room or the adapter they sell at the reception is not entirely right (would get a spark plugging and unplugging stuff), and charging 5 pounds for a towel seems a bit excessive.

Pros: The beds are really comfortable Fan in the room Great location

Cons: The first night, we told the staf that in a shower, the water didn't stop. They said, a little drunk, "yes, we know" and the next morning, the water was still flowing. Not very ecological..

Pros: The staffs are very nice to help us. I recommend this hostel for everyone.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Not much

Cons: I could not go because of problem of problem of comfort

Pros: Great burgers and chips, thou thoroughly enjoyed the burger meals you have.

Cons: The bathroom and bedrooom could have been cleaner.

Pros: This hostel is very close to Euston. Great brunch menu and good beer. The dorm rooms are clean and comfortable. Great place to crash after an event in London. We will be booking again.

Pros: I likee the location and the resturant was kinda interesting.

Cons: I didn't like the fact that the smell from the restaurant was coming into the room, there were no facilities for eating, unless you were going to the restaurant (not very comfortable because it was full).

Pros: I could see that bathroom was refurbished that was nice.

Cons: Two thing which I wasn't satisfied with were small bed and small locker. Basically this locker was just for the most necessary things. Not for your luggage.

Pros: Great location

Cons: Shower was out of order
