Hostels in Greater London, United Kingdom

Clink261 Hostel exceeded my expectations! The location is perfect, just steps away from the main attractions and public transport. The staff were incredibly friendly and helped me plan my itinerary, even suggesting some hidden gems. The dorms were clean and spacious, and I loved the rooftop terrace where I could unwind after a long day. Although the Wi-Fi was a bit slow in my room, it was fast enough in the common areas. This hostel is ideal for solo travelers or anyone looking for a social, budget-friendly stay. I’ll definitely be back!

At arrival i found my bed to be ”used” or ”not made” and the lock of my 4 bed dormroom did have a broken lock. I wend down and got upgraded immediately to a solo room for my stay (4nights) which was amazing! Unfortunately there werent that much activities from Generator themselfs nor a whatsapp group to find other travelers Showers were fine but id say most camping spots have better ones atm Location was amazing!

Ive stayed here multiple times over the years—first during the pandemic, then again not like my after we where set free, and now. This time, I was, and still am, impressed. The place is spotlessly clean, equipped with all the amenities you could need and more. The kitchen is fantastic, and while there's an on-site bar (which will tempt you to spend a bit more), the overall atmosphere is great. It’s on the pricier side for a London hostel, but the diverse mix of travelers and exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable staff make it worthwhile. My only complaint? The showers could be much hotter. A truly hot shower is something I really value, and in that regard, this place falls short.

I was profoundly impressed with my stay at Astor Victoria! The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from key attractions and easy access to public transportation. The staff went above and beyond to make the experience welcoming—they were friendly, helpful, and always approachable. The communal areas are vibrant and clean, with plenty of space to relax or meet fellow travelers. D rooms n beds are well maintained offering great value for the price. I particularly appreciated the thoughtful amenities, like secure lockers and a well-equipped kitchen, which made my stay convenient and enjoyable.

The thing I loved is the location definitely, you step out of the accommodation and meet Euston station! But yes, the bathrooms were quite a turn-off! And definitely people, your roomstay experience also depends on your co roommates. I booked a female dormitory and specifically took a lower berth cuz I don't like the upper ones. But then by the time I got to sleep, a lady already took that over and messed it up. Since she was already asleep, I didn't wana wake her up and took the upper berth on the other side. Wasn't really comfy but I felt safe, though. Thanks to publove for making it safe for solo travellers like me. Bu (please look into bathrooms, please! )

The location is excellent, just a minute's walk from a major train and metro hub. There are numerous restaurants, bars, and pubs in the vicinity, and many key tourist attractions are only a few minutes away. However, similar to other hostels, the services provided were limited, and while the cleanliness was decent, I stayed for three nights in a shared room and only experienced one deep cleaning during that time. The remaining cleanings consisted merely of basic vacuuming and surface washing, which left the room not as clean as one might hope. The facilities did not meet my expectations for the price point; for instance, the shower head was poorly designed, and the room height was too low, making it uncomfortable to sit on the bed in both the upper and lower bunks. Additionally, the lights next to my bed were non-functional. In a six-bed room, there were only four shelves, which was clearly insufficient for sharing. Overall, the facilities did not align with the price level. I wouldn’t recommend this hostel unless you specifically need a place to stay near the transportation hub.

There is no Fan The curtains on the bed is very dirty and looks very old Extra charges for the locker however the Wombat provides the digital locker

Spot on Service, breakfast and Wi-Fi were a huge plus as well. The Hostel is located less than 5 minutes walk from a overground station in both directions which makes it extremely convenient. Money well spent!

Although it seems like a little bit narrow in the room of 9 beds. It’s still possible to move around. Bathroom is not really clean but acceptable. Not to mention that’s it’s just 5 minutes walking from Lamberth North Tube Station

I stumbled upon PubLove @ the White Ferry during my solo trip, and what a find! The cozy pod beds offered privacy and comfort, while the vibrant pub downstairs was perfect for meeting fellow travelers. Impeccably clean facilities, friendly staff, and a prime Victoria location made my stay exceptional. The free breakfast and discounted drinks were lovely perks. For solo adventurers seeking a social yet budget-friendly option in the heart of London, this hostel is an absolute gem!

Awesome place with a comfy bed. This dormitory is located near the train station, which is really helpful for travelling.

Not a bad stay but a few issues. Stayed in a single room on the ground floor. Linens were clean. The room was not bad except that the room smelled like cigarettes. The toilet and shower room were shared, but the washbasin was in the room, which was convenient. The problem was the hotel Wi-Fi. I wanted to connect some devices to Wi-Fi, but for some reason I couldn't connect. The receptionist's smartphone was able to connect to Wi-Fi, so I wasn't sure why I couldn't connect. After all, it came to be connected suddenly after the next morning. Even so, sometimes I couldn't connect, and it was stressful. We enjoyed English breakfast in buffet style. The location is near the bus stop. Wembley Stadium is about 40 minutes on foot, and it is within walking distance.

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 location, 6-10 mins walk over to the O2. Rooms was clean and breakfast options was good too. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will stay again
