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 #### Verified traveller 2 Oct 2024 #### Good place to stay in the middle of London. It was a reasonably priced place to stay for a night or two, right where I needed to be. If you don’t plan on spending time in your lodgings, then this is a good choice as a place to sleep and store your belongings. I was in an 8 room dorm en suit, so my experience was dependent on my roommates, which was mostly ok. The bathroom shower/sink/toilet were clean, and there was an additional sink in room. The locker fit my stupidly overflowing suitcase, and the bunk was comfy enough. The only issue was the room itself was stifling with no airflow, which made the bunk feel claustrophobic and hot, despite there being a weak fan to circulate air by the bathroom. I imagine that’s not an issue during other times of the year. If you run hot when you sleep, bring a small usb fan, I wish I did lol. Keep in mind there’s no lift. That’s not a complaint, just a reminder. I was assigned to a dorm four flights up and have a bad knee, so that sucked. It didn’t occur to me to check about stairs beforehand. That’s my fault. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra Amarachi 30 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Clean room ##### Sandra Amarachi Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Wojciech 2 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice place to stay ##### Wojciech Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yousry 25 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities An excellent place to stay in London ##### Yousry Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlene 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Good night Was very good value for a quick overnight stop, surprisingly quiet, room was extremely hot so if possible take a portable fan ##### Charlene Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nancy 10 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great location. ##### Nancy Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Taisuke 10 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Good access! ##### Taisuke Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorna 10 Aug 2024 This was cheap and cheerful.

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 #### 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Allaeddine 3 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Inconfortable.

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### morgane 10 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Séjour super!

Lo mejor que esta muy centrico y tienes el metro al lado. ##### Jose Manuel Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Fernando Julio 18 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort Razoável.

Das Zimmer jedoch viel zu klein, dass der koffer ins Zimmer gepasst hat war auch alles. Das eigene Bad viel zu klein und die Wasserlwitung innden dritten Stock hatte auch keinen Druck mehr, so dass wir die Gemeinschaftsduschen nutzen mussten. Matratzrn durchgelegen und unterm Bed lag noch die Unterwäsche der vorherigen Besucherin. Frühstück war okay. Personal super freundlich und Hilfsbereit. ##### Niels Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Leonardo Hotel London Croydon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-London-Croydon.h866550.Hotel-Information) > > [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information) > > [ARK Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Collective-Canary-Wharf.h36660267.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House London Stratford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hyatt-House-London-Stratford.h4823071.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity Aparthotels, London, Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-London-Heathrow.h5025535.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Mercure-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h17586.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clarendon Hotel - Blackheath](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Clarendon-Hotel-Blackheath.h916270.Hotel-Information) > > [Plaza London Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Plaza-London-Hotel.h4969048.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenwood Hotel by Wetherspoon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Greenwood-Hotel-By-Wetherspoon.h48465856.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Finsbury Park, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Maldron-Finsbury-Park-London.h92328087.Hotel-Information) > > [Ruby Zoe Hotel London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Ruby-Zoe-Hotel-London.h87843675.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibis Budget London Whitechapel - Brick Lane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-London-Whitechapel-Brick-Lane.h29134898.Hotel-Information) > > [Safestay London Kensington Holland Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Safestay-Holland-Park.h12706774.Hotel-Information) > > [The International Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-International-Hotel.h1949.Hotel-Information) > > [London Wembley International Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-London-Wembley-International-Hotel.h890560.Hotel-Information) > > [Tribe London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Tribe-London-Canary-Wharf.h83096424.Hotel-Information) > > [Stamford Bridge Hotel London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Stamford-Bridge-Hotel.h65802.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-London-Heathrow-Airport.h570358.Hotel-Information) > > [Wembley Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Wembley-Park-Hotel.h17816788.Hotel-Information) > > [Thistle London Heathrow Terminal 5](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Thistle-London-Heathrow-T5.h882761.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Conference-Centre-London.h48444523.Hotel-Information) > > [Golders Green Stays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Golders-Grenn-Stays.h93467119.Hotel-Information) > > [City Courtyard Apartments & Penthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-City-Courtyard-Apartments-Penthouse.h12433631.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Arbor-City-Hotel.h201127.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel - London, Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-London.h9080289.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Heathrow-Airport.h55006.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanctum London Regents Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Sanctum-International-Regents-Park.h78257352.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity Aparthotels, London, Greenwich High Road](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-Greenwich-High-Road.h7065398.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h12391.Hotel-Information) ---
