Traveller reviews

“I booked this for emergency because my other reservation was cancelled two days before travelling but I don’t say I don’”
04 Jul 2025
I know someone don’t give a best review but this isn’t me because you get for what you paid and this accommodation is definitely cheapest in whole London so for price and even isn’t close to city centre but two minutes walk to underground and in around twenty minutes you are in heart of London

“Superb”

Anca was so lovely and nice. She really made my stay lovely really she did.

“Perfect for a visit to London.”

Great location and transport links. Staff were friendly and helpful. The place needs some updating but that may take away the home/local feeling it has currently.

“A great financially-reasonable place for short stays”
09 Nov 2024
The opening hours to access kettle and microwave. Breakfast area open from 6 AM where in all other hostels is at 8. Few showers and three toilets for both pub and hostel may not sound sufficient BUT invariably empty. The main asset in this pub-hostel is without a doubt its staff. Rees, Victoria and her brother go well beyond the call of duty to ensure one is comfortable. That was not a one-off but a concerted effort to roll that way 24/7.
