The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were tidy and comfortable enough for a short stay. When the wifi stopped working the person at the reception helped us reseting the router without a problem. The kitchen seemed good. It had a great connection via underground. We stayed there to attend to a show in Wembley stadium and we were able to go back at night without any problems thanks to how close it is of the Underground station.

There's only two showers and 2 toilets per floor so it can be very crowded and slow. It didn't had lockers availables in the rooms, so you had to leave your bags and belongings either in your bed or in the lockers available in the reception

The room is okay; it is warm, so it's perfect for sleeping despite the cold weather. There is a pub downstairs from the rooms, but it was not a problem for me at any moment. The location is very good. You can walk to many different places in the city.

The location is realy good to access many places and the price is fair. I really recomend. A problem of my room was just the bed beside of the bed I sleeped because it don't have power outset. So I recommend the place.

There was a problem about Wifi connection in my floor, I asked the receptionist to solve the issue, they quickly resolved it. Thanks for that. The location was pretty good as I was able to access to the city centre of London by walking within 10 or 15 minutes.

There should be curtains around the beds in order to cover people’s privacy. But There is no such thing in the hostel.

Great location, right next to the tube and 5 minutes walk from London Bridge station. Very clean toilets and shower room.

The kitchen area was a bit small but wasn't an issue.

Most of the guests I met are very nice and friendly. The staff members are friendly. The room and other facilities are relatively clean most of the time. There is a kitchen with kitchen utensils and two fridges so very convenient for people who cook.

The hostel didn't have the rules about being quiet after 11 PM and before 6 AM so lots of the guests in my room were less mindful about keeping quiet late at night. They made lots of noise. For example, they packed things in the middle of the night and talked loudly. The room was a bit stuffy as there is no window.

Very good location for travelers and close to Waterloo, lovely surroundings. Clean and tidy rooms, kichen and bathroom. Very friendly receptionist with a positive attitude. You can leave your luggage at the reception which makes things easier. I'll definitely back some time and I recommend this hostel to stay here. Good value for money too.

The hostel is above a pub where there is loud music and lots of people which can be heard until late at night so be prepared for that. This can be sorted with earplugs for example if you expect good quality of sleep. It's only one what I can say i didn't like
