Guest Reviews
- Fatih (7/5): Uygun fiyatlı merkezi konumda konaklama - Fiyat, wifi, konum, çalışanlar ilgili Yataklar küçük, havalandırma zayıf, wc/banyo pisti
- Richard (10/5): A cool place to stay - Close to everything I needed
- Gregório (10/5): - localização, atendentes, preço nada que desagradou
- Andres (4/5): - En general tiene buena ubicación, relativamente cerca de estación de Metro para poderte mover en casi todo Londres. Gran área de oportunidad con el personal. Personal nuevo no sabe asignar las camas a los huéspedes correctos. Me tocó ser levantado a las 2 am diciéndome que no era mi cama, cuando no fué mi culpa desde un principio. El personal de limpieza tomó mis pertenencias sin aviso y gracias a eso tuve una noche de terror. Lo pensaría 2 veces antes de quedarme de nuevo aqui.

- SELIM (7/5): If you're going to use it for sleeping, it's a central and clean place. - Bringing drinks or eating anything is forbidden. Many hostels have bars downstairs. There's no desk or workspace. If you go down to the bar, there is, and you have to eat or drink something there. That's how you feel. It would be better if there was a small lamp by the bedside and curtains on the beds.
- Benjamin (3/5): -
- Titanilla (7/5): - I really liked the pub and restaurant area of the hostel. The staff were incredibly nice and friendly, and the location was great as well — it was very close to the Tube, making it easy to get around and explore different parts of the city. To be honest, the room was not the most comfortable. If you’re sleeping on the bottom bunk, you can’t really sit up properly, and the bed itself was uncomfortable and very noisy, it creaked loudly whenever someone moved. You can imagine how disruptive that becomes in a room full of people.
Unfortunately, not everyone was considerate about quiet hours either. Some groups coming back from partying disturbed everyone’s sleep almost every night. I understand that this is not entirely the hostel’s fault, but it still made the overall stay less comfortable.
- Daniel (9/5): Buena ubicacion - La ubicación es perfecta, y el personal es muy amable, Hacia un poco de calor, pero nada que impidiera descansar bien
- Andrea (8/5): -
- Jhonatan (6/5): -
- Alejandro (7/5): Buena - La ubicación es inmejorable cerca de todo lo necesario, camas con adaptador de corriente propio y lockers en las habitaciones, me pareció cómoda la cama y la almohada. El Pub de abajo es muy bueno y te ofrecen ofertar al estar alojado allí. Una pequeña cocina o al menos espacio con un microondas y café, cortina en las literas cada vez se hace más necesario, de resto bien
- Claudia (4/5): - Ubicación buena.
Ropa de cama limpia. Muchas personas en una habitación pequeña. Cama baja esta a nivel de suelo y no puedes estar sentado en ella, tu cabeza choca con la de arriba. Cada cama no tiene una repisa ni una lampara, solo un enchufe. Muy incómodo el dormitorio.
Baño muy poco privado, mixto y en la ducha se moja todo, no hay lugar donde dejar las cosas ni vestirse con comodidad.

- sabrina (7/5): Bien pour un très court séjour de passage et pour des jeunes.... - Les points forts :
Le tarif imbattable !
Son emplacement à 10 minutes à pieds de big Ben avec bus métro et gare de Waterloo a proximité
La gentillesse et disponibilité du personnel ainsi que sa réactivité
Le fait de pouvoir se restaurer sur place Les axes d'améliorations à apporter selon moi :
Faire appliquer et respecter des règles plus strictes dans les chambres car des backpackers rentrent et sortent a n'importe quelle heure de la nuit complètement ivres et réveillent tout le monde...une fille a même vomie en pleine nuit
L'isolation est catastrophique les vitres sont en simple vitrage on a l'impression d'être directement dans la rue, pourtant je suis malentendante et appareillée mais je ne les porte pas pour dormir.... Pareil au niveau des murs il n'y a pas d'isolation phonique dès que quelqu'un bouge on entends tout, idem pour les lits...
La literie pourrait être améliorée notamment en terme d'espace car on a pas la place de s'asseoir dans le lit à cause du lit du dessus...
Un rideau a chaque lit permettrait un peu d'intimité
Des règles d'hygiène également sont nécessaires car c'est une catastrophe entre les chaussures qui sentent mauvais dans les chambres, les toilettes monstrueuses, les cheveux partout dans les lavabos et douches...
Et surtout l'invasion de punaise de lit (certes l'équipe a ete reactive pour faire intervenir un professionnel mais malheureusement cela n'a pas réglé mon problème) j'ai passé un très mauvais séjour de 10 jours sur place à me faire dévorer par des bêtes, a ne pas pouvoir dormir, à subir le bruit et la fatigue se cumuler....c'est dommage car sans cela le reste serait peut-être mieux passé à mes yeux...
Éventuellement ajouter une pièce où les voyageurs pourraient se retrouver entre eux avec coin cuisine micro ondes frigo télé canapé... C'est le gros point noir il n'y a rien a part le pub en bas très bruyant...

- Guadalupe (10/5): - La ubicación muy buena. Que hay muy pocos baños para tanta cantidad de camas en cada piso.
- Máté (8/5): -
- Vincenzo (10/5): - Molto vicino al centro di Londra e ben collegato con la metro, personale disponibile. Tante indicazioni anche per attività da fare in città
- Sára (8/5): -
- Omar (1/5): Jamás regresaría - La localización es buena ! Dicen que tiene recepción 24 horas y tuve que esperar más de una hora para que me abran la puerta, dicen que tienen timbre pero no funciona ! La habitación apestaba y el baño también !
- Gomes (7/5): - Atendimento bom, Não seria uma crítica mas uma sugestão, separação até o chão dos banheiros ou uma pequena borda para que a água da ducha ao lado não invada a ducha ao lado.
Pois ao tomar banho quando havia mais pessoas acabava vindo a água onde estava tomando banho foi desconfortável, e banheiro feminino separado do masculino seria uma boa opção no hostel
- Froylán (3/5): Great location, but super small rooms - The location was great The worst hostel experience I’ve had. The rooms are extremely small, with no space or compartments for your belongings. The bathrooms were always dirty and often without toilet paper. There’s no kitchen, and the pub downstairs doesn’t really add any benefit to the experience. The staff is not friendly or attentive, and the water is only lukewarm, with hot water available only on the upper floors.
Also, even if you’ve already paid for your stay, they make you leave your room halfway through to check in again, and you can’t access the room again until 2 pm, which is very inconvenient.
I would only recommend staying here for one night at most; I would not come back.

- Aurélien (10/5): - Le personnel et principalement Peter petite dédicace a lui! L'emplacement est idéal. Nous avons fait un EVG à 20 boys. Difficile de trouver un endroit autant accueillant. RAS
- Sławomir (8/5): - Super obsługa! Dobra lokalizacja
- Asana and Roger (10/5): - All was good All was good
- Álem (6/5): -
- ATSUHIRO (8/5): -
- Gabriel Jose (10/5): -
- Guedan (4/5): Séjour Passable - Le personnel
La situation géographique
Le pub Lumière verte constamment allumée dans la chambre
Bruit de portes incessants (isolation très mauvaise)
Bruit bizarre toutes les 2-3 minutes suivi d’une chute d’eau dans la cuve des toilettes (parfois cela s’arrêtait )
Matelas très inconfortable très mal au dos le matin
- Cintia (9/5): Bueno, bonito y a buen precio - La ubicación es excelente, el personal muy bien predispuesto. El metro que te trae del aeropuerto está a dos cuadras y a una cuadra hay un parque para ir a comer. Los lavabos eran muy pequeños lo cual hacía que el agua terminara más en el piso que dentro del lavabo entonces los pisos siempre estaban mojados. Olor a humedad en baños (quizás dejar las ventanas abiertas en el día) y más frecuencia en el aseo. No todos son considerados en el uso de instalaciones y se ensuciaba rápido.
- Lea Sabina (1/5): - Mir hat absolut gar nichts an der Unterkunft gefallen das war die schlechteste Unterkunft in der ich jemals gewesen bin Es war nicht sauber und sehr unhygienisch genauso nicht gepflegt. Die Toiletten waren so schmutzig. Die duschen genauso. Die Matratzen waren sehr dünn und man hatte kein erholsamen Schlaf. Es war sehr laut
- Evelyn Cano (8/5): Lovely place close to the Big Ben - Great location, just 9 min walking distance to the Big Ben
The atmosphere was also great. Its a pub, so very British experience.
Kind staff
Lovely stay The bathrooms were not very clean

- Bryce (10/5): Lovely, the staff were great and the beds were very nice - The closeness to beautiful locations and a great price I have no complaints
- Darren (7/5): -
- KAORI (8/5): 楽しかったです。 - ロンドンでは、安い方です。24時間のチェックインが可能なところ!場所がわかりやすい 3段ベットが頭が当たるところ
- Dimitrios (9/5): -
- Linares Aguilella (10/5): Genial - Limpio, personal amable. Abierto las 24 h el pub, llevamos a las 3 de la mañana y pudimos comer una pizza y beber algo así que fue todo mejor de lo que podíamos imaginar. repetiremos seguro No hay nada que destacar
- Isabelle (8/5): Great value for money. Very friendly staff. Could do with a new mattress - Room had enough space. The pub itself was great to stay above. Good beer selection and all the food we had was quick and very nice. Very friendly atmosphere The bed wasn’t very comfortable
- ًWaleed (4/5): -
- Mônica (10/5): - Otima localização, perto do metrô. No bar eles tem um lanche: The great britsh bacon, maravilhoso. Indico esse hostel.
- Liza (8/5): Hostel normal vistoso - La ubicación y tener un pub debajo. Mucho ruido del secador de mano del baño, sería bueno que lo retiren.
- Mariusz (6/5): - Price BE CERFULL....DODGY CHECK IN!!!! NEWER NOBODY DOESEN T SCAN MY DOCUMENTS!!!@ IN THIS HOSTEL THEY SCAN PERSONAL DOCUNENTS!!!!!! IS NOT LEGAL!!! WHEN I not want it he said I can nooking room for you!!!!! Is cheap hostel so for what they scan all id???? Problly sone one deal in copy id!!!!! BE CERFULL!!
I NEVER US THIS HOSTEL
- Rosemary (10/5): - Lovely friendly staff ! Good vibe x good breakfast
- Eva (9/5): - Tutto perfetto, avevamo la stanza privata. Era pulita e comoda.
- Maroua (5/5): - The thing that i liked the most about this hostel is the location, it’s near by the metro station next to the london eye …etc , plus the vibe in the pub is good you can sit there and enjoy a burger and music What i didn’t like is one the lack of cleanliness in the toilets , it’s quite often dirty , the beds aren’t comfortable after long walks in london you need to rest. And the biggest thing is that i came back one time late at night there was a man working there a black tall man with long beard who talked to me rudly without any reason and insulted me saying the word f so i felt totaly unsafe and unrespected.
- May (7/5): - It was great with the connection with the pub and staff available 24/7 in person! Very friendly and helpful. Very comfortable beds, and nice ambiance. The payment process was unnecessary complicated. It would have been much better to be able to just pay with a card at the hostel. The bathrooms were not super fresh, and the boxes for the bags in the room a bit noisy, so that we were waking each other up when we were leaving.
- Parmin (9/5): -
- Arianny Nathaly (8/5): -
- Ekrem Emin (7/5): - Sakin güzel bi konumda. Çalışanlar güler yüzlüydü. İnternet çoğunlukla iyi değildi.
- Γεωργία (7/5): -
- Salgueiro (6/5): - Tem um PUB pra poder relaxar Espaço muito pequeno dentro dos quartos. Praticamente vc só tem a sua cama para ficar dentro do quarto. Fora isto tem um corredor estreito entre camas, uma lata de lixo e os lockers. Se vc arrumar sua mochila no chão ninguem consegue passar. Não há uma mesa ou balcão.

- albert (8/5): - Preu, localització, el pub Banys,
- Roberta (5/5): - Posizione strategica. Metro vicina a meno di due minuti, varie fermate autobus a un minuto. Si arriva a meno di dieci minuti a piedi al London Eye. Le camere molto piccole con letti a castello da 3 e 3. Asciugamani non compresi. Bagni non pulitissimi, non dotati di pensili dove poggiare le proprie cose.

- Elena (5/5): Non più di una notte - Posizione ottima e staff gentile Porte vecchie che hanno bisogno di trick strani per essere aperte, prima notte senza possibilità di caricare i nostri dispositivi, bagni sempre allagati e sporchi, acqua calda non pervenuta.
Il mio compagno è rimasto fuori dalla camera di notte e ha dovuto aspettare 20 minuti per poter rientrare perché la batteria della porta era scarica e con la tessera non si apriva.
