This hostel was everything my husband and I needed it to be; a cheap, clean, nice place to stay in London. There’s even a bus stop right outside the building, so using public transportation was also easy and saved us a lot of money.

It's a nice place for singles to be when waiting for the next flight abroad. The only problem is if the people in the room are snoring, your night would be sleepless. If I'm back in London, I'll probably consider this my first option.

A great hostel. Located near major transit stops, it felt safe when in the hostel itself, my only complaint was the thinness of the mattress. Would recommend staying here if you don’t have a bad back!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was the worst stay i've ever had in a hostel. Kids/teens running through the halls, screaming, and slamming doors until 2 to 3 am, smoking in their rooms and setting off alarms at 1 am. The showers walls and floors are slimy and unclean. The toilets are always dirty with pee and poop including the pee being on the seats, walls, and floors (not an exaggeration). Horrible hostel with no chance of repeat business.

If you need a bed, this works. It won’t be comfortable, but you will make it to the next day. I was traveling with my friend and as two females, we decided to get a private room with a bunk bed. What we got was very similar to a prison. The room is very very small, and the beds were probably two inches thick if I had to guess. The bathrooms were constantly clogged, even though they would be unclogged earlier in the day (this was a daily occurrence). The surrounding area is not bad at all and all in all, we did feel safe as two young women traveling. Like I said, if you just need a bed (or I guess a cot) this place is perfect for you.

Property is located at what was an old school. My room was on the top floor which meant a good climb up each time i returned. It was just down the street from Elephant and Castle which has tube access to London routes. Weatherspoon has a decent dining area and at fair rates. There is bus service just a few steps from the front door which is very convenient. There did seem to be a bit of noise...both in the hall outside my door and from outside. Overall, not bad for the price. You do have to provide your own towels.
