One reviewer told us they ‘would recommend this to someone wishing to meet real Londoners’.

This hostel seemed more for longer stays and less of social atmosphere, not ideal for solo travellers. No events or places to meet people other than the bar which is mostly locals.

Great location but the actual hostel itself is disgusting. The first room we were in was so gross I was literally gagging from the smell. We asked to move rooms but the second one wasn’t much better. The toilets seemed like they never got cleaned, there was water over the floors and stains all over the toilet seats. The windows in the rooms barely opened. Worst hostel I’ve stayed at.

The hostel was in a good location. Easy 15 min walk to Big Ben and the London eye. On the days that I stayed here the atmosphere wasn’t very social and there wasn’t really a communal lounge space to just chill out. However for a couple nights accommodation it did the job. Staff were lovely and very accommodating.
