Best value and great location to tour London. Boomers….no need to pay excessively for not being in your room except for sleep. This full of younger folks place is alive with energy and seeking newness that you may have forgotten. Very organized, clean rooms, à la cart offerings, you flexibly pay for what you need. At 8.5 pounds the breakfast works well. Easily walkable to tube and Tower Bridge as well as in a safe area. Staff available at the desk 24/7. Hostel or private room with bath, the garden, common areas, and pub all have character and enrich your experience. At age 68 and 75, we loved being around the younger energy at 1/2 to 1/3 cost of more traditional hotels.

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms were clean and well equipped (lockers, sockets, safe and more). The breakfast was great (but menu is repetitive so if you are thinking about staying there for long, take that into consideration!). The bar had a great atmosphere and good operating hours. Staff were very nice and helpful! It was my first time staying in a hostel and I loved it!

10/10 Exceptional

Well priced for London. Drinks were cheap. Vending machine stocked and not overpriced. Easy to get a hold of staff. Nice chill environment. Loads of kitchen space. Didn't really need the kitchen. When I saw the mattress I assumed it would be a horrible sleep but instead I slept very well. Not usually a hostel type but I really enjoyed it.
