Tiny rooms, dirty, don’t recommend

I would not recommend this hostel to anyone. Your pictures are wildly misleading and inaccurate. The hostel rooms are completely ill equipped for anyone staying in them. There is nowhere to put your things, there isn’t a bin and there aren’t any hooks in the room. I don’t want to have to walk down 4 flights of stairs to get something out of a locker every time. Our room was for 4 people and it probably 6 foot by 8 foot including two sets of bunk beds. There was absolutely no room to move around. There was no character or personality to the rooms or corridors either, making it feel like a prison. Whilst I appreciate that hostels are notoriously the cheaper option and standards aren’t the same as a hotel, this was actually quite gross and uncomfortable to stay in. Given that we are in the height of summer and the temperatures were hitting 28, thick winter quilts were still on the beds and no way to get any air circulation in the rooms. The sink in the room was absolutely tiny. There was probably getting on for 40 rooms on one floor and only three female toilets and showers. They were dirty and once again, ill equipped to take a shower. Nowhere to put your stuff so everything gets wet. Out of the three showers, only one was actually useable. The light was broken in one and another didn’t lock. Having no kitchen facilities in a hostel is also very disappointing. It was about a 10 minute walk from Elephant and Castle station, so not a bad location.

The worst hostel experience ever

Do not book this place even though it seems cheap. This was the worst place to stay. Book at your own disappointed. The reviews must be fake. The below were some of the main issues, which im surprised not been mentioned by others: 1. Loud traffic all through the night (police, bikes, etc) 2. Hand dryers not working in the toilets 3. Toilets dirty 4. No proper cooling on a hot summers day 5. No pillow was provided (or taken by someone else) 6. Matresses were not even reasonably firm 7. No lifts into the building 8. Getting to the hostel felt like going through a sketchy area.

The property was in easy walking distance of buses and the tube. Plenty of places around to get food. Basic room in a lovely old property. Reception staff were all lovely and helpful.

A great hostel. Located near major transit stops, it felt safe when in the hostel itself, my only complaint was the thinness of the mattress. Would recommend staying here if you don’t have a bad back!

Please be aware that if you have luggage, it may be challenging to manage, as the location does not have a lift or elevator. Additionally, there is a fee of €5 per day for a towel which is not included in the initial costs.

I arrived to be given a key to a room that had 3 people in it. I booked a private room for a reason. The guy at reception was very helpful but I am utterly shocked and disgusted with the service and I shall be taking matters further in the morning or on Monday. What a joke your company is. I want a full refund immediately or I shall be contacting the local authority and posting about this on social media. I am a woman alone at 3am and am trying to keep myself safe. My email is Lcm240307@gmail.com and contact number is 07421 474049. As I said the reception guy was amazing you were not x
