London Hostels

Very good customer service and highly efficient reception team. Very good location in the high brow area of London. Amenities are kept very clean and well-managed. I forgot my laptop in the lobby after checking out, taking only the laptop charger. I had already reached Manchester when I noticed it wasn't in my laptop bag. I called the reception and they assured me that the laptop was found and kept in a safe place for me. Four days later, I came back to the hostel and picked up my laptop after they confirmed it was mine. This cannot happen in many hostels and budget stays in a big city like London. It's a big plus for them. I fully recommend staying in this hostel to anyone looking for such a clean and well-managed budget accommodation in London.

A capsule hotel located in the city center with convenient transportation. The bed was fairly comfortable and clean. The lighting could be a bit brighter, though. The capsule itself doesn't have a lock, so you might want to bring your own if needed. There were plenty of toilet stalls, so I rarely had to wait. Toilet paper was provided.

It was 400meter walk from Mornington underground. Only stairs. Through narrow alley and walkway. Heavy and large luggage is strongly not recommended. Fast check in and check out. Great amenities with clean kitchen full with amenities. Bathroom, room and bed are so so small. The lockers are not lockable. People just randomly took my bed. And I had to sleep at highest bunk instead of the allocated low bunk. With a defect USB port that I couldn't charge my phone. I don't feel comfortable in this stay. The photo attached was taken using wideview, it is really a small room packed with 6 narrow bunk beds. 3 bunks each side.

The hotel's location is excellent, with plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby, and a bus stop right outside. It's very convenient for getting around. The room arrangement was decent, with a window for good ventilation and curtains for privacy. The breakfast downstairs was quite substantial for £6 per person. There's no kitchen, so getting hot water wasn't very convenient. The toilet closest to my room in the bathroom wasn't working, but there were two others a few meters away. The female dorm has a special access door, which felt very secure. There's also an elevator.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The location was convenient, with easy access to local attractions and transportation. Breakfast was fresh and offered a good variety of options. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations, and I would gladly stay here again.

Brilliantly situated YHA in London with affordable private rooms, cafe, bar, communal kitchen, lounge, clean rooms and comfy beds. About a 30minute scenic walk to Tower Bridge, an excellent location for budget travellers.

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.

Booked a 4 bed dormitory with shared mixed sex bathroom. Just wanted somewhere to get my head down for a few hours before an early Eurostar train. As I was leaving at 4am I didn’t change out of my clothes but was very surprised to find women’s suitcase with makeup and hair straightener on a bed and around the room. It was late and I was on the fourth floor so settled down for a few hours. At around 2 30am two young ladies showed up. Surprised to find there was a man in the room just like I was. After all the uproar over Travel Lodge letting a sex offender have a key to a woman’s room claiming to be a boyfriend I can’t get over being allocated to a woman’s dormitory. I would hate for it to happen to my daughter.

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.
