Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hostel had its ups and downs. The room was a bit stuffy and had a slight smell, but it was alright considering the fair price and private bathroom. The service was friendly and helpful, with complimentary earplugs provided. The location was great, close to subway stations and supermarkets, making it convenient for exploring the city. Dining was satisfactory, although it would be nice if it were included in the booking price directly on the website.
The hotel is centrally located, close to many eateries and transport options. The rooms are small for six people without hot water and had a slight unpleasant smell. The staff were accommodating but seemed to treat requests as inconveniences. The dining offered a simple continental breakfast, but with limited variety. The location is fantastic with easy access to tourist spots, but certain areas like the showers lacked privacy.
My stay at the hostel offered a mix of positives and negatives. The amazing views of the Shard from the 22-person room were breathtaking, but the lack of soundproofing due to the metal grate door was a major downside. The room's proximity to the common area made it convenient, but noise could be an issue until early hours. The service was friendly and welcoming, creating a social atmosphere among guests. However, the early morning cleaning of the showers right outside our room was a bit disruptive. The location was fantastic, just a few minutes from London Bridge station, with easy access to supermarkets and transport. The lack of Northern Line service until 2022 might be a drawback for some. The dining experience was a hit or miss - while some found it really good, others felt it could be improved, especially considering the value for money. Overall, the facilities provided were satisfactory but not exceptional.
I had a great time at this hotel, even though it was above a late-night bar with loud music. I still managed to meet amazing people in the room and downstairs at the bar. The massive room on the first floor with lockers throughout was convenient due to its location within the premises.
Even though the rooms offered me little privacy and were quite warm due to poor ventilation, the hotel's location made up for it. Being close to transport links and popular attractions was a major plus, and I felt safe as a solo traveler. However, the noise from the attached bar could be bothersome into the late hours of the night.
Staying at the hostel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very clean and well-equipped but having too many bunk beds in one room was a downside. The service ranged from being accommodating by changing rooms upon request to encountering rude staff who were unaware of VAT refund procedures. The location was great with an amazing rooftop view of the Shard, yet proximity to a noisy sports bar was a drawback. The dining options were basic, with a spread of dry fruits, yogurt, cereal, bread, ham, and cheese, but lacking variety and essentials like a toaster. Overall, a budget-friendly choice with some trade-offs.
The hotel may have some drawbacks, like tight room space and rude service, but the rooms are large and comfortable with a microwave. However, the charging for luggage storage and outdated facilities are disappointing. The location is ideal, providing easy access to transportation and a cozy common area.
The hostel is big enough to fit large groups and offers a very good price for central London. The rooms are tiny but suitable for sleeping and lack functional ACs. The staff is incredibly friendly and goes above and beyond, but the atmosphere can be a bit loud and 'bro-ish'. The location is amazing, very close to the London Bridge with easy access to transportation options. The dining options are limited but adequate for a quick meal.
The hotel offers little more privacy than normal hostel rooms but is noticeably more expensive. The rooms were a little tight, very hot, and stuffy due to poor ventilation, which made it hard to sleep at times. The service was really friendly and helpful, but some staff members were described as unhelpful and rude. The location was very close to the center and well connected with public transport, providing convenience for travelers. The dining experience was good, offering a full buffet with various options. The facilities were satisfactory, meeting basic needs.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient with good access to public transport, but the noise from the nearby night activities was disturbing during the night. The service was average, with some staff being unhelpful, though the capsule beds were a unique feature for solo travelers. The dining experience was enjoyable with a variety of options available. Overall, the hotel offered value for money with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at the hostel. The rooms were very quiet, which was great, but I had some noisy neighbors who were still drinking whiskey at 6 am. The public bathrooms just outside the room were not ideal. The service was top-notch, with kind and welcoming staff who covered well despite some system issues. The location was convenient, but I found it a bit dusty and smelly. The dining options were limited and not free when booking through certain platforms. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had the charming high ceilings typical of Georgian and Victorian houses and were decently decorated, but being situated right above the bar could get noisy. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff being incredibly helpful, while encountering rudeness and lack of professionalism from others. The location was convenient with nearby supermarkets and public transport, but the noise from the club below was a downside. The dining, unfortunately, did not meet expectations, especially for the price paid.
