• Mohamed (7/5): -
• Philip (7/5): -
• David (9/5): Great 1 night stay before an interview the following morning. A private en-suite room in Zone 1 for £58 - no brainer! - Great location! Basic but clean - amazing value for money
• Steven (7/5): Good basic place if you just need somewhere to sleep or in very tight budget. Lack of lock on side of room door made me - Easy to access. Good location near Southwark Tube and Waterloo. Did not know lockers were available but needed own padlock. No lock on inside room door.
• Jelena (8/5): - It’s really basic student accommodation but very clean and the room was so quiet and great location. For the price it was excellent
• Jane (7/5): Me encontraba a gusto en este sitio que tenía muy buen ratio precio Cali - Gente muy amable y muy bien situado Las paredes tenían manchas bastante desagradables y el colchón estaba muy gastado y incómodo.
• Gülşen (7/5): -
• ashel (7/5): -
• Rose (10/5): A great cheap stay - Yes there’s a little chipped paint. But for the price, the staff are wonderful and the beds are comfy - definitely worth a stay As a head up no soap provided for washing hands
• Dennis (7/5): -
• Nicolas Imbach (8/5): -
• Mimi (7/5): - It was located near where I needed to be. It was warm. I can't say. It was okay.
• fran (10/5): -
• MISS HENRIETTA ADAKU (10/5): Great Stay and Classy Environment - Great Stay and Environment. Okay.
• Julia (8/5): Overall, I was very pleased with my stay and would book again in the future. - The location and facilities were so convenient The shower is poorly designed. If it had not been for my roommate, it would have been more uncomfortable.
• Tam (1/5): - I have been severely bitten by bed bugs on the bed i sleep it. Even thought the receptionist said 'Your room is ready and cleaned' it was far from clean!!!
• Rosie (7/5): Good for £50 - Good location as I stayed the night due to a hospital appointment in the morning the bed was comfy no noise from the other rooms and the staff were lovely The only thing that was bad was the smell of the bath room it smelt of BO but apart from that the rest of the place it smelt alright There was only one mirror in the bathroom maybe have another one in the actually room as I had to use my iPad for a mirror to do my hair
• Matthäus (9/5): - I have stayed in a single room with bathroom, which is a great deal. It is big enough with a well working shower. Rooms seem well isolated, so did not hear anything from someone. Moreover, it was fairly clean. Overall, a pleasant stay in a well-furnished room.
• Lamari (7/5): Tres agreable - L'emplacement et le personnel meme la proprete Manque equipement cuisine Il est préférable d'avoir une cafetiere dans la chambre.
• Oluwasegun (9/5): Generally I like the location as it is close to the city Centre and its serenity . The staff are - I did not not arrange for breakfast The bed size is small . A bigger one would be appealing
• Valentina (3/5): Kind reception but not as expected - I read the reviews and I didn't expect the facilities to be what they were. But the staff at the reception were super nice. I did however relocate to another hotel that suited my needs better right after checking in.
• Andy (9/5): Super Convenient Short Stay - Super convenient short stay option All good
• SIMON (7/5): Convenient and relaxing - OK Location for me Directions to venue could have been clearer
• Louisa (8/5): Sehr schön - Sehr nettes Personal überall und tolle Lage Die Betten waren ein wenig unbequem aber für das Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis angemessen.
• Miloslav (8/5): -
• Tatiana (10/5): Super bien - Súper cómoda! Tenía nevera en la habitación y era súper espaciosa. El de la recepción de turno mañana fue muy amable durante toda la estadía! Muchas gracias!!
• Jon (8/5): Excellent student accommodation available during the summer. - Excellent location. Staff are always helpful and kind. This is student accommodation, but very good in that respect. Generally quiet and well maintained with a small gym. I have stayed before and will again. The area is great for restaurants and landmarks and cultural institutions like Tate Modern and the Southbank centre, with the west end and St Paul’s just over the bridges and plenty of tube, buses and train stations. I like it very much.
• Olongo (6/5): The place was ok, no bad - Place was okay Bed
• Gabriel (10/5): O cazare de excepție’! - Totul! O Cazare de excepție!
• Jon (7/5): A very pleasant second stay. - I have stayed here before and the fact that I have stayed a second time indicates that I regard it as good value and well located. Staff are very helpful and nice. This is student accommodation, so if you need something more hotel like look elsewhere. But if you are just looking for an inexpensive, convenient location close to London Bridge and within walking distance of the west end, this is ideal. It is close to Tate Modern and the New and Old Vic and Southbank center. Borough market is close by and there are lots of places to eat near there or at The Cut near Southwark station, where there is also a little market. I like this place a lot. It has a small gym, the corridors are generally very quiet and staff do their best to meet reasonable requests. I will stay again.
• Gabael (1/5): Very Bad experience. Dirty and very ugly Place - Very Bad experience. The Place ist Dirty and there is No Organisation Very Bad experience. The Place ist Dirty and there is No Organisation
• helene (8/5): - Proche du métro. 900 mètres à pied de la Tamise (Tate Modern). Accès à une Cuisine collective
• Sergejus (8/5): -
• Soukaina (5/5): -
• kibiku (7/5): -
• Fabio (10/5): Posizione top - La simpatia e gentilezza dello staff, la posizione, la struttura in sé. Beh andrebbe curata un po' di più la pulizia degli ambienti comuni (corridoio, ascensori) e del bagno...
• Lebedeva (6/5): -
• Woodland (8/5): -
• Joan (9/5): Ideal for overnight stay for senior lady on own Details of local uses and destinations would be help - None Too hot and unable to turn down radiator or open window
• Sonia (10/5): -
• Helen (7/5): - Great location Very clean Friendly welcome Kitchen facilities Lovely hot shower Wish I'd known to bring crockery etc
• Богдан (8/5): -
• Tim (9/5): Excelletnt simple comfort - Great place to stay. Small but very comfortable bed. Friendly helpful staff and everything very clean. Nothing really. The hit water tap was very piwerful and splashed everywhere, thays about it. It provided everything I needed which was a place to sleep after a work night out. I didnt use all of the facilities so can't mark it as exceptional.
• Zllatan (6/5): - the location was good and easy to explore around
• Vuerich (7/5): Nice hostel in great location - Great location, not expensive, quiet. The room key also opened the kitchen's door. So I assumed the same key opens all rooms assigned to that kitchen. I might be wrong...
• RAMUTE (9/5): -
• Josh (8/5): -
• Virginia (10/5): - Cheap, easy and convenient Nothing
• Piers (4/5): - No soap, grubby walls, uncomfortable bed
• Dinçhan (6/5): - care of personel cleaning
• Aleksander (8/5): - dobra lokalizacja, obok Carrefour czy jakiś inny sklep, trochę dalej food market, dobra komunikacja (autobusowa czyli wolna...), dosyć cicho, łóżko wąskie ale wygodne, klimy chyba nie ma... wszystkie okna w obiekcie brudne jak świńskie ryjki (wynika to z mało mądrej ich budowy - lekko uchylne tylko są), w moim pokoju lekko czuć było stęchliznę (stąd pewnie 3 wyrwy w ścianach aby sondować przecieki etc.), odpływ w prysznicu przytkany, ale ogólnie ok., brak jakichkolwiek kubków/herbat/talerzy/sztućców chyba że komuś w wspólnej kuchni zabierzemy ; P

• Mykhailo (9/5): -
• Ally (5/5): Good location but communal kitchen was a let down. - Location was good. Nice to have a private room with a desk and window. Also appreciated having a bathroom to myself. I was excited to use the kitchen facilities during my stay but saw when I arrived that the accommodation doesn't supply any cooking utensils (pots and pans, any of it) cutlery or dishware. If you're only staying for four nights (like I was) it doesn't make sense to go buy pots and pans. Thus, the kitchen essentially became useless to me and it may as well have not been advertised as included in the accommodation. I wish that the 'no utensils' thing had of been clearly explained during my booking. Also, my room could've really used a deep clean. Lots of grubby hand marks on the wall near the bed from years of people staying. A good scrub of the walls could make a world of difference.
• Fabian (3/5): - Close to london bridge! Close to public transport Booking.com and the accom didnt recognise me and allocate me a room therefor had to switch rooms which was a pain as i had plans with friends and couldnt follow through as i had a room to switch on the 2nd day
• Q OMAR (9/5): -
• Alper (7/5): -
• Mattias (5/5): -
• Lucie (10/5): Génial - L’accueil était au top personnel plus qu’agréable. Le calme et la propreté se sont fait ressentir.
• Anthony (9/5): - It was clean with good Wifi and had everything i needed. Nothing
• Tymofii (5/5): -
• Mohamed (10/5): -
• weeks (10/5): -
• Martin (9/5): - Friendly and helpful staff. I couldn't quite work out what this place was. It felt like a halls of residence more than a hostel, but I guess most people stay more than one night so I must have been an exception.
• Virginia (10/5): -
• Garofalo (6/5): - Staff Pulizia, manca tutto
• Bernard (10/5): Great - Value for money, location close and walking distance to Southwark tube station and to many attractions like the London Bridge. Nothing really.
• Sarah (7/5): Sufficient for one night - Great shower - hot and good pressure. Quiet room and warm bedding For me the mattress was uncomfortable, so I struggled to sleep
• Andrea Ugo (7/5): -
• Magdalena (4/5): -
• João Pedro (5/5): -
• Athanasia (6/5): - Πολύ καλή τοποθεσία και ευγενικό προσωπικό Το καζανάκι δε δούλευε του μπάνιου του δωματίου μου μου είπανε να χρησιμοποιώ το κοινόχρηστο μπάνιο δεν μου το έφτιαξαν. Περίμενα το δωμάτιο σε καλύτερη κατάσταση πιο ανακαινισμένο και το ντουζ είναι καρφωμένο που δεν μπορείς να κάνεις εύκολα ντουζ χωρίς να λούσεις τα Μάλια σου
• Paul (6/5): -
• Tamara Tulling (8/5): Een prima hotel voor wanneer je een beperkt budget hebt, maar niet in een hostel verblijven. - Het is dichtbij openbaar vervoer en andere bezienswaardigheden. De mini koelkast was top om spullen koel te houden. Zelf ontbijt maken bespaarde me een hoop geld. Het personeel was super vriendelijk. Het bed was niet echt comfortabel, maar voor een paar nachten wel te doen. De badkamer is aan de krappe kant, maar opnieuw, voor de prijs verwachtte ik ook niet echt meer.
• Karl (7/5): -
• Carlos (5/5): Good for one night, no more - Good location within zone 1 Totally bare bones. Too basic.
• Aimee (4/5): You get what you pay for - Own bathroom and secure entry Fridge in room wasn’t working, nothing to use in the kitchen to cook or eat not even a fork, loud remodeling happening which was not warned about. Tried to extend my stay, was told to email, and I never heard back.
• Francesca (9/5): - Location, room, staff, fridge Would be better if you had a kettle in the room, but you do have access to the kitchen
• MARIKO (7/5): - Location There is a shared kitchen, but I couldn't find any cutlery, dishes which I could use
• Daniel (8/5): Great location and cheap - Nice and clean in a great location for our requirements No/limited parking
• Silvia (7/5): Gute Lage, renovierungsbedürftige Zimmer - Gute Lage, alles super zu erreichen. Wir hatten ein geräumiges Bad. Das Zimmer lag zum Innenhof und war - bis auf einmal Bauarbeiten um 7 Uhr morgens - sehr ruhig. Viel Stauraum. Küchen werden derzeit neu gemacht, was gut ist. Unsere war aber im Umbau und wir waren immer darauf angewiesen, dass uns jemand öffnet. Es gibt kein Grundset (Besteck, Tassen etc.). Die Flure, Bäder und Zimmer sind renovierungsbedürftig. Die Heizung lag in ihren Einzelteilen im Zimmer. Die Betten sind sehr schmal, aber gemütlich.
• Loren (5/5): Agradable. - Me gustó mucho la ubicación, estaba relativamente cerca de todo, volvería sin duda. Cuando llegue el lugar parecía un almacén, tenían un montón de cajas en la recepción y por un momento pensé que me había equivocado….ademas estaban en reformas y hacían ruido taladrando…
• Min (7/5): For the price I think its pretty good. You need to come here prepared to be comfortable - Good location. Has the bare necessities. No soap, shampoo, body wash. Uncomfortable bed Loud constructions around the building as well as inside the building . Loud fridge in the room, better to unplug it.
• Luis Antonio (9/5): Excellent! The best option for a city escape to London. - Excellent location, and price. The fridge wasn't working.
• Hannah (10/5): Accomodation was just as described. - Clean, good wifi, central location, felt safe and great value for money. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Nothing
• Karim (1/5): - I hate it sooooooooooo disgusting and smell like pee Smelly [ pee ] dirty carpets , reception space is chaotic No towels on the room at all (gad to use pillow case to dry myself ) Room key stuck in the lock Nothing in the room no boiler coffe or tea bags nothing at all Really a shame to have such facility on booking.com Had to boom on hompton by hilton for the night as i couldn't stay in a dirty place like that Was really kinda scummed as the pics look nothing as in real life
• Serafim (9/5): -
• Zeynep Berfin (1/5): Lokasyob dışında her şey berbat - Lokasyonu güzel her yere yakın Kaldığım odanın yanındaki mutfakta tadilat vardı hafta içi sabah 9 da matkap sesiyle uyandım yaklaşık 3 gün boyunca.Ayrıca yataklar çok küçük,dönmek için bile yer yok, en ufak bir hareketinizde sallanıyor.Banyo küçük ama idare ederdi eğer lağım kokusu olmasaydı.Bir daha kalacağımı sanmıyorum
• Fiona (8/5): Great Budget Accommodation in SE1. - Generous space for an en-suite single room. Looks like student accommodation but run by London Hostels Association . It's a modern building and in a good location. Small supermarket immediately next door. 5 minute walk to Mercato Metropolitano, 10 to Waterloo and a little longer to Borough and London Bridge. No noise from the street. Real value for money. Would not hesitate to stay again. There is a gym. Nothing of note.
• Luke (8/5): -
• Anna Maria (8/5): Vacanza solitaria a Londra - Le camere sono pulite e ordinate. Le indicazioni chiare. La posizione centrale.
• Kedibone (9/5): - The apartment is affordable compared to similar properties No glass, cup, plates, cutlery or access to the kitchen
• DGP33 (7/5): - The location was perfect, being a 15 minute walk from Waterloo station and the Southbank. The staff were helpful and the room was bigger than expected and included a fridge. The key to my room apparently gave access to one specific kitchen area. Unfortunately, that happened to be the one being renovated, so I had no access to make a hot drink and was able to fill my bottle with drinking water only because someone was in the other kitchen and allowed me in to do so.
• Calvin (5/5): Ok for price - Good location, affordable. Room was clean. Room is bare bone; no towels, bathmats or even soap! there was construction going on so it was a little noisy.
• AYUMI (8/5): 快適な部屋 - ・親切なスタッフ ・部屋の広さ ・立地の良さ 特に無し
