Hostelworld says

If you’re looking for a spot that’s as central as possible, then Walrus is going to be hard to beat. It’s just a short walk from popular tourist attractions such as the London Eye, Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, making it an ideal location to explore the city from. But it’s not just a great location the hostel offers, it also provides guests with free WiFi and plenty more. There’s also a pub on the ground floor offering affordable drinks where you can meet fellow travellers and locals alike.

Property Description

As the previous reviews have said, it's a very basic hostel, very close to the train station which does make your bed/room shake when the trains fly past but it's good for convenience. The cleanliness of the rooms aren't that great, such as the sheets could be updated as they have tears in them, along with the communal bathrooms, as they aren't maintained and cleaned on a regular basis either or have a good enough locking system. However, the staff are friendly, and we're always happy to help!
