Hostels in Greater London, United Kingdom

A repeat visit and I'll revisit again. Check-in via the pub bar. Electronic card access through the bedroom. Bring your own padlock for the individual cages to store your personal items or buy one on site. Bring your own towel too, or again, buy on site. A Sainsburys supermarket is only a few minutes walk away. Nice vibe in the pub without it being too crowded, nice food menu available too.

This hostel truly feels like a home away from home. The environment is clean and comfortable, the common areas are cozy and well-designed, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The staff are friendly and enthusiastic, always patiently offering travel advice, which made my trip much smoother. The location is convenient, and the atmosphere is welcoming, making it perfect for backpackers to meet new people. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit.

The service I received at the hostel was great, the check-in was easy and very pleasant, however it is important to note that if you are over 45 you are required to get a private room and not a dormitory. They still accommodating me nicely, which was handy as it was a short notice booking. The whole of the hostel was very clean and my room was very quiet, I was fortunate that in a six bedroom there were only two of us. It was also an ensuite room so there was a sink in the sleeping area and then a cubicle which had a toilet shower and another sink. The only issue with it was it was rather small so when you are sitting on the toilet, your knees are banging against the sink unless you are under 5 foot. The bedding was very clean and comfortable, the mattresses were rather thin and there is a firm piece of wood under them which made it rather hard, which I do like so I slept okay. They had curtains on the bunks which was a very nice privacy and keeping the light out feature. Each bunk had its own small reading light and USB ports. I can't comment on the food as I did not eat there but the kitchen area was good as was the seating area for eating and I made a new friend whilst chatting to people and eating.

Brilliantly situated YHA in London with affordable private rooms, cafe, bar, communal kitchen, lounge, clean rooms and comfy beds. About a 30minute scenic walk to Tower Bridge, an excellent location for budget travellers.

Pros: - Swiss Cottage station is close and you can reach most places from there - Very clean - Staff is friendly and helpful - Beautiful place - Bed is very comfortable to lay on - Free tea and drinkable water - It feels safe and cozy - The place has a lot of boards with precious information Cons: - The locker inside the room has decent volume but a weird shape, you can't get a a hard cased 10kg luggage in it. They provide lockers but they are inconvenient because it's kinda far from the room - The breakfast is good but it's the same everyday. I do not recommend to buy in advance like I like it you plan on staying multiple days. You might want to eat breakfast elsewhere for something different - If someone on the lower or upper bed turns on the lights, it shines trough the corners making it very hard to sleep. - The gap on the corner of the bed is huge, me and I saw another guest accidentally let things fall through the gap.i suggest using Overall recommend the place.

The hostel stacks 3 beds vertically, like some in London do. Can't sit up in bed. You will be miserable. Will require you to install an app to get pass doors, and register your information to use WiFi. Not the worse place, but not the best either. It's south of London Bridge in Southwark, a little too close to the hustle - some would like it, some wouldn't.

The room is extremely packed and dark unless the ceiling lights are on - no light available by the beds! There's little place to store ones stuff in the room, no lift access, the bathrooms cleanliness level was far from good, the staff was super friendly though and there's free luggage storage!! Overall okay but I wouldn't want to come back

Very nice and friendly staff that were really helpful and kind. Nice beds and clean rooms. Okay bathrooms but could have been more. Nice to get water and earplugs for the music downstairs.

The transportation is quite convenient here, with many subway and bus lines nearby, making it easy to get anywhere. Before checking in, storing luggage requires payment. The card machine was completely unresponsive, so I had to get coins from the front desk to unlock it successfully. A large locker costs 5 pounds for 8 hours. There's an elevator, which is quite rare in the UK… The room has a shower and toilet, which is convenient. There's a window, bed curtains, and the locker is quite spacious; my 22-inch suitcase fit in with plenty of room to spare. You can lock the locker directly with your room card, which is very handy. Each bedside has a separate charging area and a small wall lamp, a small shelf for little items, and a small safe. You need to put on your own pillowcases, duvet covers, and sheets, and strip them off and take them to the front desk when you check out.

Easy to find, close to public transit, and friendly staff. First time in a place with triple bed bunks, ao that was interesting. Luckily (?) I was on the bottom bunk. There isn't an elevator so if you have mobility issue, it can be a inconvenient but in my case I managed. Many bathrooms available, a lot of table space downstairs, and a laundromat next door if you need to freshen up your clothes. I'd stay again.
