Hostels in Greater London, United Kingdom

Such a Great Location & the Staff is Amazing! It’s located right next to Kings Cross & Coal Drop Yards which is convenient. Check in is simple & they even let you leave your luggage for free if you get their early & after your check out. The staff is so kind, to the front desk, Maintenance, Cleaning Crew & Management. I love how the beds you can change the color of the Lighting. There are plugs for your phone & a locker to store your stuff. Also a bar to hang socks or a Towel. They have a huge lounge area where you can chill or work & a kitchen. Pretty big kitchen, great way to save $ while traveling! Bathrooms are always clean & always hot water. They have events throughout the week which is great for connecting with new people. You can tell the staff is like family here & genuine souls! Definitely suggest checking out this Hostel when traveling to London! My next trip into London, I’ll definitely be staying here. 💚

It's such a great place, especially for the price! Really welcoming, amazing common areas with bar, restaurant, pool table. It really gives an amazing vibe. Staff was amazing and very helpful! Loads of options on the menu. Would definitely come back!

I stayed for 1 night recently at wombats on dock st. The hostel is perfectly located close to two underground stations and in central london. The hostel itself is very modern, clean and spacious. The manager zsuzska and staff at wombats are kind and friendly. The check in process was quick and the breakfast was a bargain at £4.90. The room itself was perfect and i slept very well in the comfy bed. I would highly recommend wombats to anyone travelling to london. Thank you zsuzska and wombats for a perfect stay. Dave

What a great place to start your day off if your running into the City for a staycation. First, through Luggage Hero, you can drop your bags off here safe and secure and collect them later. On top of that, you can sample the delights of some superb food...my wife and I had breakfast. What a great place, it's around the corner from Euston Station, a short walk from Kings Cross and St Pancras and near all the London Underground connections you need. :)

I used to use this hostel back when it was under YHA management. I’ve always picked it for its close proximity to Euston and King’s Cross. This is the first time I’ve been back since it changed hands. Glad to report that the hostel is still as it was. Polite and helpful staff, modern rooms with beds that have individual lights and charging sockets, lockers for valuables, clean and well kept bathrooms, a bar area downstairs to eat and have drinks if you desire. I stayed in a 6-bed female only dorm and was happy with my stay. Bed was comfortable, my items were safe (locks can be purchased behind the reception for £4), and the sockets can charge multiple devices with the dual USB sockets + a regular 3-pronged socket. Will advise that you turn the main room light off when you want go to sleep as my co-inhibitors left the main light on all night on my last night for some reason. The one area they could improve on was having another pillow on the beds. Mine was so used that it was mostly flat and made very little difference to my comfort.

Absolutely brilliant place it was fantastic really cool safe stay I’m going to come back again thank you so much

Needed a Bed after working In Very Wet n Windy Conditions at London Stadium. paid £11 so not expecting much . slept solid for 10 hours Nice soft pillows Very large rooms with high ceilings. The Pub below is very artistic still has a 19th Century feel all Staff Very Nice Damien behind Bar very passionate about his job also the Young Lady checked me in. Would recommend this as a basic stay in SW1 .

The beds were nice, the rooms were pretty clean and the hostel was close to Greenwich so I'll give it that. However, first of all, check-in isn't until 4pm which is later than any hostel I've ever stayed at, and there's not even really any place inside to wait until then so you can't go inside until after that time (unless you want to pay extra to go earlier). Second, you have to pay 10 extra pounds, in cash, for a key and at least one of the staff members was pretty rude. I accidentally forgot my key to my room one day and then randomly a staff member shows up and yelled at me for waiting in the hallway for someone to come because no one at reception answered the door when I knocked to ask about a spare key. Third of all, the area is kind of sketchy. Even though you can find homeless people scattered around the London metro area I was probably approached the most by homeless people either just outside of this hostel or on one of the nearby streets. You also can't get refunded once you book and, for some reason, hostelworld said my recent trip there was cancelled (which is why I couldn't put this review on hostelworld). Therefore, unless you're with a group of people and don't mind the most awful place to stay and/or you'd like to be within a 30-minute walk to Greenwich, I would highly highly highly NOT recommend this place (especially as a solo traveller)!

The rooms were very loud- as other reviews have mentioned. We stayed in the pods and they were clean and cool with the changing coloured lights! The beds were super hard and pillows extremely flat- but pretty standard for a hostel. They also had no clean towels for the first day we were there. The location was amazing. It wasn't the most friendly hostel and felt hard to meet people- but over all, worth the cost! Also, THEY HAVE AC!! huge bonus points for that.. and considering the incredible location and cheap cost, I'd recommend.

Absolutely cracking burgers, must try if visiting. Vegan options and a selection of poutine style loaded chips. Relaxed atmosphere lots of space to work whilst lunching too. Will definitely be returning soon, lovely staff make all the difference. Many thanks!

The entire hostel was kept clean and I had a comfortable stay.There is a train station in front of the hostel, making it easy to get to central London.The hostel also has a fully equipped kitchen, bar, entertainment room, and above all, the smiles of the hostel staff. The quality of the customer base was impressive.

AVIOD, HONESTLY DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. Stayed here as we went to see Coldplay at Wembley. Only good points: Location Price Was going to take pictures but honestly just never want to remind myself of what we stayed in. Just pay the extra £100- £150 and stay at holiday inn/ premier inn/ travel lodge. Just any other hotel really! The entrance was nice and the staff are very friendly and extremely helpful but very slow. Check-in was stated to be from 2pm. We arrived at around 2:30pm. We didn’t get into our room till around 3pm as if took ages to check in and when we finally did check in our room wasn’t ready for another 10/15mins. We were walking up to the room and got a little lost, a gentleman did help us to our room however, like I said the staff are friendly, just very slow at the front desk. Now for the worst part. Our room was absolutely dreadful. Filthy, marks all over the walls. Awful carpet that was dirty, I did not feel safe/clean to just walk about in socks. Someone had used the soap holder near the sink as an ash tray. There was a kettle and cups to make yourself a drink with but didn’t use them as was so traumatised. The door to the balcony did lock but the window didn’t so didn’t feel very safe at all. There was a bottle of beer left on the balcony from the previous occupants, it also absolutely reeked of urine on the balcony. I assume which ever lovely person most likely male couldn’t be bothered to get up and use the communal toilets. The TV was basically hanging off the wall. The only good thing about the room was the bed/bedding was clean and it was somewhat comfy. Now for the other worst part. The communal toilets and showers. I don’t mind communal toilets and showers so long as they are clean, I have used them before when caravaning, when I was a child. The ones at this hotel had honestly never seen bleach, EVER. Mold everywhere, stank so bad. In the sink someone with a thick beard had a shave and left their hair all over the sink and stuck in the plug hole. They also left their dirty razor just lying there. Absolutely disgusting. It said on the toilet door that the communal toilets where cleaned hourly, this is an absolute lie. I wish I had taken pictures but honestly didn’t want to remind myself of this terrible stay. Breakfast was included but didn’t bother, with the state of the rooms, toilets and showers. I dread to think what the kitchen is like!!! Was going to raise concerns at the hotel but what’s the point for £94, didn’t want to make an already terrible stay worse by getting myself worked up even more. I did tell reception about the sink with hair in and they did say they would send someone up to clean it. If didn’t use that specific toilet again though so can’t comment if it was actually cleaned. Just honestly don’t bother, don’t book it and think ‘our room will better’ because it won’t be. We walked past rooms being cleaned with the doors open and all of the rooms are absolutely filthy. Ju

St Christopher's Inn Greenwich is the first hostel I lodged when I first got to the United Kingdom in February 2023 and this prompted me to book the place again this year. The cleaners and some members of staff were very nice and respectful but a short lady was very rude to me. She is light in colour and I have her picture. I approached her to make some enquiries but she insulted and made derogatory statements to me. She even shouted at me and was very rude. I was embarrassed by her actions and just left the lady. She pierced her ears and was on duty around 1.30pm on Monday 26th February. Her actions depicts someone who is frustrated and I don't expect the lady to be pouring her anger on customers. What I avoided was confrontation with her because I am a gentle person who doesn't like unnecessary arguments with people. But I feel lodgers deserve some form of respect which for me is reciprocal.

Stayed for one night on business. The room allocated was at the top of the stairs where there was a junction for the corridors leading to the other rooms - the not quietest when other guests start moving about. I asked to move rooms but the manager refused and told me it was tough. Luckily I was up for work early, otherwise staying asleep past 7am would've been a challenge. The room was very dark and had no ceiling lighting. Everything needed a good clean. the carpet was rather gross and there was mould in the shower. Parts of the window were falling off. The bed was comfortable but a standard double so not great for 2 people. The quality of coffee in the room and free water was a nice touch. The breakfast was good and the service seemed better in the morning. I only paid £120 for the night so that wasn't bad compared to other guests. If I'd paid anymore I would've requested a refund and stayed elsewhere.
