Hostels in Greater London, United Kingdom

Overall a nice hostel for solo travelers to seek for a place to have a nice rest during their journey. The room is clean and quiet and lockers are provided for free for us to store our belongings. The common kitchen is opened for 24 hours and the environment inside is pretty nice. Worth for a try if you are traveling to London and searching for a place to rest!

I was booking with bunk bed and then I upgraded it to private pod which is 18 person in the room. In the room itself has a basin and a mirror, but it’s literally in front of other bed. I feel stress stepping in front of others’ area to use the basic, so mostly of the time I was going to share the bathroom. Its bathroom is separated female and male. Female has only 1 basin. Sometimes you have to wait – didn’t think it can be used with 2 people at the same time. It’s extremely small. My pod come with a curtain. It has 2 lights – you can adjust the light colour tone as warm or cold. The entrance of the pod has a little fan. It was summer, so it’s super hot. I ended up sleeping my head toward the entrance, and my legs are the most in in the pod... so the fans can directly blow on my face.

The hostel is very centrally located, with convenient access to public transportation, shops, and restaurants. It’s definitely a great spot if you want to be in the heart of the city. However, I was assigned a room in the basement, which had poor ventilation and a noticeable damp, moldy smell. Unfortunately, this made the stay less comfortable. To make things worse, one of the lights in the room couldn’t be turned off at night, which affected my sleep quality. It’s a convenient place in terms of location, but the room conditions definitely need improvement.

The good thing about London is that buses run 24 hours a day, so you won't have to worry about catching the last train, but riding the bus home after drinking can be tiring, so it's good to have a place where you can lie down or take a nap.

The Exmouth Arms in Camden is a decent spot for solo travelers like me, but it’s not perfect. The location is stellar—just a short walk from Euston Station and close to Camden's vibrant energy 🎸 The bunk beds were clean and comfy, though the shared bathrooms could use some TLC (broken shower heads and missing toilet seats). The staff was friendly and helpful, making check-in smooth. Facilities like the gym were non-existent, but the pub vibe downstairs was fun 🍺 Overall, it’s a good budget option if you’re okay with sacrificing luxury for convenience and atmosphere. Would I stay again? Maybe!

From Heathrow Airport to Russell Square station, the hotel is close to Russell Square station. So it is quite convenient. But from the train to the exit of Russell Square station you need to carry your luggage upstairs yourself for a little bit

Just had an amazing stay at PubLove at The Green Man in London, and I can't recommend it enough! This place perfectly blends the charm of a traditional British pub with the convenience of a hostel. From the moment I arrived, the friendly staff made me feel right at home. The pub downstairs was bustling with locals and travelers alike, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Their selection of craft beers and classic pub grub was spot on—I highly recommend the fish and chips! The rooms were clean and comfortable, with all the essentials for a good night's sleep. What really stood out was the community vibe; I met fellow travelers from all over the world and we exchanged stories over a pint. The location is fantastic too, just a short walk from Edgware Road Station, making it easy to explore all that London has to offer. Whether you're in town for a quick visit or an extended stay, PubLove at The Green Man is a fantastic choice! 🌍🍺🛌

During my recent stay at St Christopher's Hostel in Greenwich, London, I unfortunately encountered several aspects that left a lot to be desired. One of the major drawbacks was the cleanliness of the premises, which fell below the standards I typically expect from hostel accommodations. The state of cleanliness in my assigned room was notably subpar. There were visible signs of neglect, with dirty surfaces and a lack of attention to detail in maintaining a hygienic environment. This aspect significantly impacted my overall comfort during the stay and left a lasting impression that detracted from the positive aspects one hopes to find in a lodging establishment. Equally disappointing was the level of service provided by the hostel staff. Throughout my stay, I encountered instances where the service was notably poor. There seemed to be a lack of attentiveness and responsiveness to guest needs. Whether it was requests for information, assistance, or even basic inquiries, the staff's overall demeanor did not reflect a commitment to guest satisfaction. The combination of inadequate cleanliness and subpar service made for a less-than-pleasant experience at St Christopher's Hostel. It is my hope that these aspects can be addressed by the management to ensure a more positive and comfortable stay for future guests. While I understand that hostels may vary in terms of amenities, a baseline of cleanliness and attentive service is crucial for creating a welcoming and satisfactory environment for guests.

Excellent for economy & solo travel. All nice staffs & flexible management. All as pictures shown in website. Bed is clean, tidy & comfortable. Soft closing door & auto lock are perfect.
