London Hostels

Best location. Very expensive but it has ac and central location with 24/7 metro on weekends. Next to a metro station one min walk. One min walk to tesco. But in rough soho area. Dirty street after major event. Requires $25 pounds early check in or check out so it is really pricy. Showers were blocked lead to flooding so this must be fixed by hotel. Staff friendly.free water which is a big plus. Clean toilet. The only thing is i left a mirror in bathroom it was stolen next day. But it is my own fault. Afterall it is a hostel. Somehow i hope it stays pricy because it can maintain its quality. Other cheaper pod hotel i saw in central london has bed bugs. This one doesnt have bed bugs for now and hope it stays that way with this price.

Our stay was unfortunately very disappointing. Before arrival, we specifically requested a quiet room. Instead, we were given a very small room located directly above the reception area. The room offered almost no storage space, only a small coat rack, which was not suitable for two guests staying several nights. The bathroom was extremely small, with a tiny sink and very poor ventilation. After one shower, the entire bathroom became humid, making it uncomfortable for the second person to use it. Sound insulation was almost non-existent. Conversations from rooms above and below were clearly audible, as if they were happening inside our room. The worst experience occurred during our last night, when a group of teenagers arrived. They were extremely noisy, running through the corridors and stairs late at night. Around 11:30 pm, they even knocked loudly on our door and ran away. This was unacceptable and very distressing, especially as we were already asleep. For these reasons, we cannot recommend this property. We regret this experience, as we had hoped for a peaceful and comfortable stay.

Great location very easy checking in and explanation in getting to our capsule was very clear. The toilets and showers were mostly clean and I did see cleaners in there through out the day. I took a lock with me for when I was not in the capsule and was happy to use it so we could leave our bags and feel secure. The bed was comfortable and clean and with plug socket and cable section a fan for circulation and light everything you need.

I stayed here during my solo trip, and I’m so happy I chose this hostel! Its location is absolutely perfect right in the heart of the city. Thanks to that, I was able to visit all of London’s top attractions in just two days, and everything was within easy reach. The hostel was a great base for exploring the city, especially as a solo traveler. I had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting London!

Its a good place for if youre looking to just sleep. Everything is clean (except the ladies toilet which i think it was having an issue so the smells were like smelly even from outside) but overall is clean and nice

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.

I can't fault the location, the cleanliness and the friendly staff. Easy to check in. They let you bring your own food and eat in the communial area. I like that the beds have rubber mattresses more hygienic that way. The last time I stayed here my room had curtains on the beds for privacy, but not this time, so I used my duvet and sheet, it' helps block out light if someone arrives late. The toilet and shower in the room was very convenient. I picked this hostel for the second time because you can't beat the location, you can get a bus to anywhere from the main road it's like where all buses meet in Elephant and Castle. As a, solo women traveling I feel safe in this hostel, as safe as you can feel sharing with strangers and also both stays have been quiet enough to get a bit of sleep which is a rare for me in a hostel. I will keep using this hostel for my London stays. I have tried several others and this by far has toped the cleanliness and moderness for me. I like a bargain and for the price I really felt I got a deal. My only points deducted would be on no kettle or kitchen to make a cup of tea in the morning, ( if they do have one I missed it both stays) they do have a bar that does food and breakfast, but I follow my own diet restrictions, so would be great to have a space to prepare, but I really can't fault this hostel. 10/10 location and cleanliness 9/10 comfort.. Just wish it had a kettle atleast that dorm guests could use.

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.
