However, the 12 person room with bunkbeds were just not for me. If you can tolerate that than this hostel would be perfect for you. ##### Arda Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nancy 10 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great location. ##### Nancy Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Hanna 7 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Comfortable beds with curtains; quiet 'atmosphere', clean enough conditions.

Excellent value for money stay in a set of bunk beds with en-suite for less £100 in the centre of London near tube station and walking distance to all the attractions. Thank you ##### Lorna Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great It was really great. The staff was really nice and it was really inn. The location is the best only 15 minutes by foot to the center amazing ! The only flat was that it was really hot on the room. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas 9 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Standard dorm Hostels always appear on my searches, so thought I'd hive one a go. It's what you would expect from a hostel, toilet and shower shared between the 9 of us in the dorm. Ladder up maybe could be better, lockers where very large, could do with some more hooks for towels (don't forget to bring your own) and better shoe storage. No food allowed in the room, although some ignored that. Note that it's age restricted to 18-45 years old only. ##### Nicholas Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dinesh Bhaurao 10 Feb 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beds are too congested and small. reception guy will not let you seat in reception area unless you check-in.. found so rude behaviour.. ##### Dinesh Bhaurao ### 6/10 Okay #### Tongji 19 Apr 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness Like many other reviewers, I have to complain about the metal drawers at the bottom of the bunk beds. I thought I'd be ok with it because I usually wear earplugs. But those noises are unavoidable unless you put on shooting ear mufflers. I constantly woke up at night due to that noise and wasn't able to sleep well during my 3 day stay there. Although they offered the cheapest price for a great location, I would have picked a different place where I can at least sleep through the night. ##### Tongji Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeremy 6 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Jeremy Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Olga 25 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Olga Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hana 23 Jul 2025 ##### Hana Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hana 23 Jul 2025 ##### Hana Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### KINJI 16 Jun 2025 ##### KINJI Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tango 18 May 2025 ##### Tango Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ying Sum 9 May 2025 ##### Ying Sum Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DAVID 20 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Me ha gustado mucho el Hotel tiene la parada del metro detrás, volvería. ##### DAVID Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Martin 7 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Martin Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Temesgen 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Temesgen Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ivette TodoAmor 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities La habitación de 9 camas es muy pequeña, la cama muy delgada e incómoda ya que está forrada de plástico y aunque le pongas las sábanas te hace sudar. Las regaderas son incómodas porque no tienen una banquita o algún mueble donde puedas colocar tu ropa o mínimo la llave de la habitación, prácticamente tienes que salirte en toalla o arriesgarte a que se mojen tus pertenencias. Los baños son como en un centro comercial, todos juntos, no hay un mínimo de privacidad. El personal de recepción es Amable, pero hay una señora de limpieza (cabello negro y ojos azules) súper grosera, mal educada y agresiva, súper mal educada! Lo único bueno es la ubicación. ##### Ivette TodoAmor Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Abhijeet 9 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Abhijeet Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Helene Valbø 22 Nov 2024 ##### Helene Valbø Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Radisson RED Hotel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-London-Heathrow.h46218383.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Wembley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Wembley.h4921092.Hotel-Information) > > [ARK Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Collective-Canary-Wharf.h36660267.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Richmond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Richmond-Harbour-Hotel-Spa.h10269.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Angel Islington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Angel-Islington.h436270.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London - Docklands Riverside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Docklands-Riverside.h2456.Hotel-Information) > > [The International Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-International-Hotel.h1949.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel London Canary Wharf Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Novotel-London-Canary-Wharf-Hotel.h16181347.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express London - Greenwich by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-London-Greenwich.h519817.Hotel-Information) > > [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information) > > [London Marriott Hotel Regents Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-London-Marriott-Hotel-Regents-Park.h4481.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Park Royal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Park-Royal.h15118023.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express London Heathrow T4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-London-Heathrow-T4.h22336089.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Conference-Centre-London.h48444523.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [The Chelsea Harbour Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Chelsea-Harbour-Hotel.h16413.Hotel-Information) > > [Tribe London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Tribe-London-Canary-Wharf.h83096424.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stratford, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Stratford-Hotel-London.h31325464.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Kensington.h26612.Hotel-Information) > > [Thistle London Heathrow Terminal 5](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Thistle-London-Heathrow-T5.h882761.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, London Canary Wharf East](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-New-Providence-Wharf-Hotel.h1658062.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Mercure-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h17586.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gantry London, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Curio-Collection-By-Hilton-London.h48879811.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-London-Heathrow-Airport.h570358.Hotel-Information) > > [Aloft London Excel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aloft-London-Excel.h4292527.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental London - The O2 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-InterContinental-London-The-O2.h11518997.Hotel-Information) > > [MOXY London Stratford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-MOXY-London-Stratford.h19544649.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Canary-Wharf.h1457899.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Renaissance-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h9944.Hotel-Information)
