Hostels in Greater London, United Kingdom

Such a Great Location & the Staff is Amazing! It’s located right next to Kings Cross & Coal Drop Yards which is convenient. Check in is simple & they even let you leave your luggage for free if you get their early & after your check out. The staff is so kind, to the front desk, Maintenance, Cleaning Crew & Management. I love how the beds you can change the color of the Lighting. There are plugs for your phone & a locker to store your stuff. Also a bar to hang socks or a Towel. They have a huge lounge area where you can chill or work & a kitchen. Pretty big kitchen, great way to save $ while traveling! Bathrooms are always clean & always hot water. They have events throughout the week which is great for connecting with new people. You can tell the staff is like family here & genuine souls! Definitely suggest checking out this Hostel when traveling to London! My next trip into London, I’ll definitely be staying here. 💚

What a great place to start your day off if your running into the City for a staycation. First, through Luggage Hero, you can drop your bags off here safe and secure and collect them later. On top of that, you can sample the delights of some superb food...my wife and I had breakfast. What a great place, it's around the corner from Euston Station, a short walk from Kings Cross and St Pancras and near all the London Underground connections you need. :)

Quick check in and check out, friendly staff. Smaller room than expected, was assigned the top deck which wasn’t pleasant as had to climb up and down and couldn’t sit straight due to low ceiling. Room was extremely stuffy and warm, and door was creaky. Locker was kinda broken and couldn’t be closed fully / locked, wouldn’t slide smoothly and could only drag it across the carpet floor with much difficulty. Thankfully each bed came with its own reading light and power socket. Can only say you get what you pay for, the low price was unbeatable. Suitable for backpackers for a night or two, but not for those with loads of luggage.

Absolutely great value for money. Had a great stay here. The hostel is clean and very central. Literally 5 steps away from the tube station that gives access to the main London attractions in less than 10min. The check in is at the Pub downstairs, which is also the entrance to the hostel. Staff is great and always willing to help. Toilets were clean and never had a problem there (bring your own towel or pay 5£ for one, and you can keep it after). Food at the pub is good and the breakfast is simple but effective. Booking directly has big advantages (I booked 2 nights through booking and another directly with them - it’s cheaper, includes late checkout, pub discounts and 20% off in the next visit). The pub is open 24/7 for guests only, and there is no loud music or people screaming in late hours - so you don’t get bothered at all if sleeping at the hostel, and you can always go down for a beer if you feel thirsty. Free luggage room to leave your bags before/after checking in/out. Will definitely go back here when visiting London again. Thanks guys !

Good: The main thing going for this place is its location. Tbh for its price it wouldn't be worth it if it was anywhere less central and convenient than this. It is the sheer convenience of the location that makes it a passable place that I'd book again if I needed somewhere affordable this central as a solo traveller. There were also plenty of plug sockets, and late check in was possible. It seemed fairly clean in general. Less Good: The rooms are very small and cramped. The 9 bed dorms are a small room with 3 x triple bunk beds. It feels like trying to cram as many people as possible in. You cannot sit up in the bunk beds because of the space available It was very hot in the room and this was late October. I cannot imagine what it is like in the summer. People turned the lights on at 3am and there is one light switch by the door that turns ALL the lights on in the dorm. A good solution that I've seen at other hostels would be installing individual bedside stile lights in/by the bunks or running the lights on a timer so that people can't turn them on at ridiculous times. Also, the toilet seat was kind of broken.

I stayed for 1 night recently at wombats on dock st. The hostel is perfectly located close to two underground stations and in central london. The hostel itself is very modern, clean and spacious. The manager zsuzska and staff at wombats are kind and friendly. The check in process was quick and the breakfast was a bargain at £4.90. The room itself was perfect and i slept very well in the comfy bed. I would highly recommend wombats to anyone travelling to london. Thank you zsuzska and wombats for a perfect stay. Dave

Needed a Bed after working In Very Wet n Windy Conditions at London Stadium. paid £11 so not expecting much . slept solid for 10 hours Nice soft pillows Very large rooms with high ceilings. The Pub below is very artistic still has a 19th Century feel all Staff Very Nice Damien behind Bar very passionate about his job also the Young Lady checked me in. Would recommend this as a basic stay in SW1 .

Location: The hostel is located in an excellent location, near Lambeth North Station, a variety of shopping around and you can go to the main tourist points of London, including: Big Ben, London Eye, Westminster Abbey ... Structure: The site is well preserved, right in the entrance has a well-conjoining pub, where also lunches and spots are served and there is a small outdoor area with tables. In the upper floors are the shared bedrooms and bathrooms (1 per floor). Facilities: The hostel does not have lift, which may be a problem for people who arrive with many bags, the lockers of the bedrooms are very small (in my case it only cuts a mean bag), but to solve this problem the hostel provides a The rooms are small, so when you are stuck, you become a problem to locomote. There is no air conditioning or ventilator, only heating system, in the days I stayed in the city was warm and the rooms were very shocked because the natural ventilation was not enough. The beds were comfortable, had USB-tapped and outputs in all beds, but there were no curtains and individual lighting (for those who stay in hostels, know that makes the difference). The bathrooms are spacious and were kept clean as far as possible, because it does not make sense to wait for the perfect space since it is shared, especially in the most frequently moving times. Conclusion: Despite the details mentioned, I would host again, the comfort and structure offered by the hostel and location are compatible with the value paid.

Excellent hostel in an excellent area, easy access to the tube, clean, helpful staff great value I always choose to stay here when travelling I highly recommend you book it will tick all your hostel boxes

Nice hostel. Location is very good, very near Kings Cross Station. Slept very well during my stay. Hostel is very social as well and breakfast is really good.

Nice hostel. Location is very good, very near Kings Cross Station. Slept very well during my stay. Hostel is very social as well and breakfast is really good.

I was not informed that there will be a 10£ cash only deposit for the key, when I arrived at 11:40pm without cash I have no choice but only their ATM, yes there is a ATM machine right by their reception, and it charge me 1.5£ to withdraw 10£.that’s how they make the money. And there was only one plug per room and my pillows and quilt smelled horrible.

AVIOD, HONESTLY DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. Stayed here as we went to see Coldplay at Wembley. Only good points: Location Price Was going to take pictures but honestly just never want to remind myself of what we stayed in. Just pay the extra £100- £150 and stay at holiday inn/ premier inn/ travel lodge. Just any other hotel really! The entrance was nice and the staff are very friendly and extremely helpful but very slow. Check-in was stated to be from 2pm. We arrived at around 2:30pm. We didn’t get into our room till around 3pm as if took ages to check in and when we finally did check in our room wasn’t ready for another 10/15mins. We were walking up to the room and got a little lost, a gentleman did help us to our room however, like I said the staff are friendly, just very slow at the front desk. Now for the worst part. Our room was absolutely dreadful. Filthy, marks all over the walls. Awful carpet that was dirty, I did not feel safe/clean to just walk about in socks. Someone had used the soap holder near the sink as an ash tray. There was a kettle and cups to make yourself a drink with but didn’t use them as was so traumatised. The door to the balcony did lock but the window didn’t so didn’t feel very safe at all. There was a bottle of beer left on the balcony from the previous occupants, it also absolutely reeked of urine on the balcony. I assume which ever lovely person most likely male couldn’t be bothered to get up and use the communal toilets. The TV was basically hanging off the wall. The only good thing about the room was the bed/bedding was clean and it was somewhat comfy. Now for the other worst part. The communal toilets and showers. I don’t mind communal toilets and showers so long as they are clean, I have used them before when caravaning, when I was a child. The ones at this hotel had honestly never seen bleach, EVER. Mold everywhere, stank so bad. In the sink someone with a thick beard had a shave and left their hair all over the sink and stuck in the plug hole. They also left their dirty razor just lying there. Absolutely disgusting. It said on the toilet door that the communal toilets where cleaned hourly, this is an absolute lie. I wish I had taken pictures but honestly didn’t want to remind myself of this terrible stay. Breakfast was included but didn’t bother, with the state of the rooms, toilets and showers. I dread to think what the kitchen is like!!! Was going to raise concerns at the hotel but what’s the point for £94, didn’t want to make an already terrible stay worse by getting myself worked up even more. I did tell reception about the sink with hair in and they did say they would send someone up to clean it. If didn’t use that specific toilet again though so can’t comment if it was actually cleaned. Just honestly don’t bother, don’t book it and think ‘our room will better’ because it won’t be. We walked past rooms being cleaned with the doors open and all of the rooms are absolutely filthy. Ju

Stayed for one night with a friend in a private twin room with bunk beds, top floor so didn’t hear any bar noise. Beds were clean and comfy. Staff were friendly. Very busy on arrival so we were given a free drink. Facilities were really good, as two ladies on our own we felt safe, clean and happy here. Only downside was the room next door, their door was noisy, could do with some attention. For value, cleanliness, location and facilities this one gets a 5 star !!

Stayed for one night on business. The room allocated was at the top of the stairs where there was a junction for the corridors leading to the other rooms - the not quietest when other guests start moving about. I asked to move rooms but the manager refused and told me it was tough. Luckily I was up for work early, otherwise staying asleep past 7am would've been a challenge. The room was very dark and had no ceiling lighting. Everything needed a good clean. the carpet was rather gross and there was mould in the shower. Parts of the window were falling off. The bed was comfortable but a standard double so not great for 2 people. The quality of coffee in the room and free water was a nice touch. The breakfast was good and the service seemed better in the morning. I only paid £120 for the night so that wasn't bad compared to other guests. If I'd paid anymore I would've requested a refund and stayed elsewhere.
