No safe place to store your belongings, no where to store clothing, no soap in bathrooms, no toilet paper in toilets some days, no kitchen or washing machine and no nearby laundromat. Poorly sound insulated, and very noisy dorm. Close to city center and transport.

A decent effort had been invested in to keeping a decent standard, a little more attention to the shower would help, it breaks/ cuts off occasionally. And you have to keep pushing the shower button while you have soap in your eyes-- it is very uncomfortable and annoying. Shower should be free flowing not cutting off !

A very large bright and breezy hostel. Focused happy and helpful staff. The building is a conversion not purpose built but you get everything you need. A good comfortable bed. Clean bedding. The third floor was a building site. A good place to hostel, near to the city. I walked to the river in 40 mins though buses were running at 5am .

Extremely disappointing experience. I booked a 4-bed female-only dorm, but after taking a shower, I came back to find a man in the room. Turns out they had put me in a mixed dorm by mistake. When I raised this with the staff, they moved me to a 5-bed room — essentially a downgrade, which I did not agree to. The bed was extremely high and difficult to climb into, the bathroom was dirty, and the whole experience felt careless and unprofessional. I also requested a refund, but so far have received no response. Would not recommend this place based on how poorly they handled a basic booking and guest safety concern.

There no privacy in my room, no curtains. No light (or lamp), no power (electric) outlets near bedside. The light at the shower room was automatically turned off when there is no movement which i understood. But the light was off in the middle of the shower and it is co-ed,i can't go out turned the light on. The washroom on the second floor was flooded once, no toilet papers available. Everyone gathered around the lobby to charge his electronics. In addition, i asked on of the staff for beer drinking inside this building, he said 'No'. But someone drink beer which they bought from the store just acrosss the street. The only good thing I 5say is there is a LEBO restaurant across the street and it is very famous. I bought half boneless chicken with rice, it id only 8 pound, which is very good price compare crazy price in London. I am not sure to go back to London, however, i will not stay this hostel for sure.

This place should NOT be allowed to operate. It is completely uninhabitable. I booked RestUp for its Central London location, but it turned into a nightmare. Despite booking a 10-bed mixed dorm with a private bathroom, I was shoved into a cramped 12-bed room where I couldn’t even stretch my legs. The space between beds is so tight, I hit my head multiple times—seriously concerned I got a concussion. There’s ZERO ventilation. No AC, no fans, and most windows are sealed shut. I nearly suffocated in the summer heat and was told by staff that they could only crack open one tiny window. I explained I had breathing issues and asked for a better-ventilated room—flat-out denied. I ended up in the common area at night, only to find no air circulation there either. Luggage storage? A joke. Despite their website claiming free storage is available, I was charged £5 to store my bag BEFORE check-in. Never experienced this in any other UK hostel. It felt like a blatant cash grab. The rooms are disgusting. Dirty sheets, hair on the bedding, weird odors, bugs crawling around, and to top it off, mosquito bites and a clogged drain that took 2+ hours to clear. And yes, this happened TWICE—I booked here again only because everything else was full. Outlets? Barely work. My adapter only fit in a couple, and there were no USB ports anywhere. Keycards randomly stop working. Dining area was always closed, despite their claim of serving meals. They even changed the breakfast policy overnight and st

Great staff, perfect location as the bus stops just outside. It was nice and quiet, and manageable but would have liked to have hot water for the shower and a heater or insulated windows in our room. It was in the 40’s at night in April and they had no heat:(.

I stayed here a week, my first time in a hostel. The reception is always very friendly and helpful. I spent a lot of time in the common areas. I met some really nice people that were also staying there. They have lockers for 5£ per use. The beds were comfortable and clean linens. Very close to food options. I would stay here again.

Die Unterkunft ist perfekt geeignet für Leute mit geringen Ansprüchen, die günstig und relativ zentral unterkommen möchten. Coole Gemeinschaftsräume, 2er Zimmer sehr klein und mit dem braunen Metallhochbett recht unmodern. Nachdem wir aber ohnehin die ganze Zeit unterwegs waren und nur ein Bett für die Nacht gebraucht haben war das völlig okay. Sauberkeit war auch überraschend gut. Das kalte Frühstücksbuffet kann ich nicht empfehlen, gab bis auf Gouda und Kochschinken sowie Cornflakes kaum Auswahl.

Las instalaciones generales están muy bien, nosotros pagamos un cuarto privado, con baño para dos personas. Son habitaciones pequeñas en general, que no está mal, sabíamos que era un hostal, pero por ese precio uno espera al menos un lavabo completo. No caben las manos, tienes que lavarte de una. No funcionaba el elevador y tuvimos que subir nuestras maletas por la escalera. En general me parece caro para ser un hostal y para lo que ofrece.
