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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Askild 9 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Praktisk og sentralt i London Veldig praktisk hotell når ein skal overantta i London. Det er også greitt med gangavstand til Kings Cross og undergrunner er dessutan rett rundt hjørnet. Det er også veldig potitivt med eit fortrekk som gjer at ein kan sova i fred. ##### Askild Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Inês 3 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Private Twin Dorm Ficámos numa private twin dorm e foi muito bom. Alguns problemas com a água para tomar banho, mas nada impossível, há balneário caso necessário. Pequeno almoço é suficiente e bom. Staff simpático e bom ambiente. O hostel está muito bem localizado! Aconselho imenso principalmente pela localização e segurança da zona! ##### Inês Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 10 Apr 2023 Disliked: Room comfort #### Goed genoeg voor stedentrip. 4 overnachting gehad in 2 persoons kamer met stapelbed. Bovenste etage. Min punten:Helaas vaak geen water en als er water was ijs koud of heel heet. Konden dus al die dagen niet douchen. Kregen maar 1 handdoek per persoon voor alle 5 de dagen. Ontbijt was haast nooit plek voor gewone gasten, grote groepen namen alle plek in beslag. Pluspunten: rustige hostel, ondanks veel mensen aanwezig. Dicht bij winkeks en eetgelegenheden, bus halte en hop-on-hop off bus. Vriendelijk personeel en bewaking. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Perrine 25 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Arrivée et départ facile. Personnel d'accueil agréable. J'ai pris une chambre privée avec salle de bain. Largement suffisant pour un court séjour. Néanmoins, pas de pression dans la douche, l'eau se coupe toute seule, la température est très difficile à régler. Concernant le lavabo, il y a un effet "d'explosion" quand on ouvre le robinet. Parfois pas du tout d'eau ou très très peu. ##### Perrine Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [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) > > [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) > > [a&o London Docklands Riverside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Ao-London-Docklands-Riverside.h2456.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) > > [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 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) > > [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) > > [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) > > [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)
