My family had a good stay, as with most London hostels the room was small and things got cramped with luggage on the floor, and the insulation wasn't very good. But our room was clean enough, the bathrooms and showers were clean, there were regular buses steps away from the front door to go all around the city, and 24/7 reception was great considering we arrived at almost midnight. Good value. We did have some noise problems when a school group checked into the rooms around us and they were really loud, but a WhatsApp message to reception quickly resolved the matter. Also we had a friendly and warm welcome at a late hour

Good hostel for families in a great location We were a family of four staying at Rest Up London for four nights and had a good overall experience. The location is excellent, with easy access to public transport and plenty of affordable places to eat nearby. The staff were friendly and helpful, we felt safe throughout our stay, and the cleaning was good. The beds were comfortable enough, and breakfast offered plenty of choices, although it was quite repetitive. The downsides were small rooms, thin walls, some strange noises from the heating system, run-down outdoor areas and noise in communal spaces, especially when school groups were staying. Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives. Rest Up London is not a luxury hotel, but it is a good, affordable base for families exploring London. We would consider staying here again!

4/10 Fair

At the end of the day, it is mainly a hostel aimed at younger travellers, so I can’t complain too much. However, I stayed in a family room with my children, and it’s probably not somewhere we would choose to stay again. There were no towels, soap or kettle provided in the room, which made it feel quite basic for a family stay. The walls were also extremely thin, and we were woken up several times during the night by noise from other rooms. It may suit younger travellers looking for a simple, budget-friendly place to stay, but it wasn’t quite right for us as a family.

Great location! Rest Up Hostel is close to public transport. Elephant & Castle Station is just a short walk away, and the bus stop is right outside.

Very basic even for a hostel, was quite shocked you had to pay for a towel in a private room. Staff very good though.

2/10 Poor

Breakfast was okay but nothing to write home about. We did find it odd that it wasn’t consistent from day to day what was served. The room was literally terrible. Way too hot and small. Was rented as a double private room but the bed was super small so it barely fit me and my wife. Staff tho was super kind and helpful.

What you would expect for a budget place to stay. Clean and basic with good shower. No lift so be prepared for stairs! Ideal for school groups.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The wait and queue to check in was very long, everyone needs photo identification and more staff or staggered check in might help? Our en-suite twin room was a broom cupboard in the basement. For £107 not bad for London I guess? Clean and a decent shower.

While the staff was helpful, the property was not very well maintained and there were little to no amenities. The light in the bathroom was out, there was visible dirt in the rooms, the bathrooms smelled of mildew, and you have to pay five pound to rent a bath towel. Overall, not terrible for the price, but very minor adjustments could greatly improve the quality of the stay.
