London Hostels

I had a great stay. The capsule was clean, comfortable, and in a perfect location close to the subway and everything I needed, which made me feel safe as a solo female traveler. The shared bathrooms were much cleaner than I expected, and drinking water and vending machines were available. The only downside was that the capsule doors can be a bit loud when closing, which might bother light sleepers. It didn’t bother me, though. The capsule was spacious enough for a carry-on bag, and I slept very well thanks to the dark, quiet environment. A great choice if you just want a clean, comfortable place to sleep.

I had a wonderful stay at Smart Camden Inn Hostel. The location is absolutely perfect—just a few minutes' walk from the Camden Town tube station and the markets. The staff were friendly and the check-in process was smooth. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. It’s a great choice for budget travelers who want to be close to the action. Would definitely recommend!

👉Location 10/10 👉 Clean 9/10 (toilets) 👉 Price 10/10 👉 Would stay again 10/10 The location is excellent specially if you want to watch some place and you wanna line up in the mornings for some day tickets. The hotel has its disadvantages one of those being that they are no lockers so you cannot leave your luggage after you’ve checked out, which is unfortunate but overall location in price are great. On the downside because it is such a confined space even if there is a little bit of air conditioning, it’s not strong enough and the night it’s really hot, especially in summers.

Great hostel with ideal location in London! Steps from two key metro stations, Hyde park and food options. It also offers picnic tables out front for an outdoor common space! The room itself was clean and the staff provide you with fresh sheets and pillow covers so you know they’ve been washed, upon check out you remove the covers and bring them to reception for washing. They also have lockers for luggage storage but you unfortunately have to pay £5 for the day.

I stayed in a lower bunk bed. The curtain around the bed could not fully close because it was positioned near the stairs, which was a bit uncomfortable as it reduced privacy. A solution to provide better coverage for these beds would improve the experience. It would also be helpful if power adapters for UK plugs were available in the rooms or could be borrowed from reception (I am not completely sure whether this is already possible). Many international travelers may not bring a UK adapter with them, so this would be a small but valuable convenience. I also had an unfortunate experience during the night when the person in the upper bunk spilled milk while eating, and it dripped onto me, waking me up around midnight. I understand that this was not directly the hostel’s fault; however, some precautions regarding eating and drinking on upper bunks or the general bed arrangement could help prevent similar situations. Another point is that the check-in time of 15:00 felt quite late. In addition, requiring cash payment for using the lockers was inconvenient. Nowadays, many travelers do not carry cash, so offering card payment or another easy payment option would be more practical. I found it especially unnecessary to pay extra for a locker on the day I was already checking in and staying at the hostel. I could understand paying for locker use on the day of departure if I wanted to leave my luggage after check-out, but charging on the day of arrival felt less reasonable. On the positive side, the staff were extremely helpful, friendly, and welcoming. They were always willing to assist and communicated very well with guests. Their kindness was one of the strongest aspects of my stay.

整體環境不太理想。優點是距離河邊比較近，走十幾分鍾可以到加拿大水地鐵站，公交其實不太方便的，C10和381，去景點得倒車花很多時間。設施也很一般，在公路旁邊晚上非常非常非常吵，很難入睡。洗澡水太小了，要花很久時間才能洗好。廚房在地下室，而且沒有排氣扇，面積又小，要輪候做飯。入住不復雜，明顯很希望推銷他們的早餐和其他餐飲服務。價格也不便宜，不推薦。

There is a women-only area, and only guests with a key card can enter. The women-only section has two bathrooms and one room with a maximum capacity of 10 people. The bunk beds are not very sturdy, so if the person on the top bunk moves, you can feel the vibration on the bottom bunk. For this reason, I wouldn’t recommend it to light sleepers. I stayed for 8 nights and only received two towels in total—one of them only after I asked for it myself. The bathrooms were clean, and tea was available for free. There is no laundry room, so you’ll need to use the nearest laundrette. The common room has a kettle, a microwave, and a small fridge.

Enjoyed this stay and particularly wanted to shout out Gerard who went above and beyond to make it a fun stay for us and our friends! Great location, good stay, as always easy check in and checkout. Would recommend!

Budget accommodation in great location for BST Hyde Park concerts and very close to Paddington Station and tube. Also lots of restaurants and shops within a short walk. Was irritated to arrive at premises and find a note on the door saying I had to check in at another hotel a short walk away first. However, staff there were very friendly and someone escorted me back to Atlas Studios after checking in. Room clean and nice to have a kitchenette. Also a fan, which was essential as it was during the heatwave. However, there was no TV in the room despite the Facilities section on Atlas Studios website saying 'TV in Room'. I would not have booked here if I had known there was no TV, so this was very disappointing.

I stayed at Cosmos Capsule Coworking London again, for the second time, and had a pleasant experience overall like I had during my first visit. This capsule hotel offers a unique blend of accommodation and coworking space at an affordable price. Located on Hanbury Street, just an 11-minute walk from Aldgate East station, its central location makes it accessible. Just outside the hotel, at 67 Hanbury Street, is Chaii Town, a charming Chai and Coffee shop that I highly recommend. They offer a great variety of Chai flavors and pastries. I tried their Ginger Chai and Chai Latte, both of which were delicious. Their exotic pastries, like Dubai Cookies and Matcha Cookies, pair perfectly with the aromatic Chai. The owner was wonderful, and the hospitality was exceptional. The capsules are well-designed and functional, featuring ambient lighting with customizable colors—blue, pink, green, yellow, or white. Each capsule also includes a TV screen and headphones, though I didn’t use them during my stay. The capsules are not soundproof, so a good night’s rest depends on the courtesy of fellow guests. Fortunately, everyone during my stay were considerate, and I slept well. Earbuds are provided in the capsule just in case. The shared spaces, including the showers and toilets, were very clean. The shared kitchen area includes essentials like a sink, microwave, kettle, tea, and cups. One standout feature is the massage chair in the common area, which offers a good massage after a long day. There’s no traditional reception desk; instead, check-in is automated via a WhatsApp message or email with an access code. This code grants entry to the building and a small box containing your key card. While the shared spaces were immaculate, the capsules could use a bit more attention. I noticed hairs from previous guests on the blanket. Overall, Cosmos Capsule Coworking London is a good option for budget-conscious travelers who need a comfortable place to stay and work.
