Honestly the best hostel I have stayed at. If you are a single woman stay in the female 6 bedroom ensuite!! It’s so big and there is a separate counter with sink for you to do your makeup from the sink that’s inside with the shower. The toilet is also separate so it’s so convenient in the mornings when getting ready. The area is great about a 5 minute walk to the Tower hill tube line. You also have tower bridge and the Tower of London within a 5 minute walk!

I stayed here for a week in mid- September and loved every minute of it. I am an older gentleman who wanted a place close to the river, London Tower, and the Tower Bridge and to the Underground. This establishment fit the bill for all of those. The staff (including front desk, housekeeping, and the bar and entertainment folks went over and above to make sure that the guest were taken care of. Most of the people staying there were young people from all over the world. They were all very well-mannered and very respective. Great activities planned each night in the bar whether it was Trivial Quiz, Comedy night or anything else. They had a very good, but low-key security folks on hand also. No complaints and I will stay there the next time I am in London!!

Definitely one of the better Hostels - super clean, well looked after. The rooms are really nice and private and the added fan is 10/10. The lockers are a bit small and will only fit really a cabin size bag. But that was ok with me. The dryers however are actually trash and it’s takes multiple cycles to dry with £5 a pop not worth it. Wash it then take your laundry to dry elsewhere.

The room was clean and the shower had great hot water and high pressure. The toilet was a bit finicky, though, and one of our faucets wouldn’t shut off all the way, so it was slowly dripping water. There are a few trains close by, making it easy to get farther away. The Tower Bridge and other attractions are an easy walk away.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bedroom accommodations were excellent. Lock-up options in the rooms were included in the price (i.e. no need to rent or purchase a lock which I've had to do at other hostels): a large locker at the room entrance and a small code-operated locker in the bed itself. Beds all also included a small personal fan which was lovely to have and definitely makes the rooms more accessible to all bodies. Rooms were spacious with well-kempt toilets and showers each in the rooms themselves instead of shared facilities outside of the rooms. The shared kitchen was excellent to have and helped me reduce costs for food and also socialize. The kitchen gets very messy though and isn't cleaned out nearly enough - seems like it's just allowed to get as dirty as it gets naturally throughout the day with no concern to it being a shared space for many people (definitely needs more intentional effort to get in and clean out the sinks, put away dishes, clean out shared fridges, etc.). Overall very happy with my stay.
