    This hostel definitely lives up to its reputation of being one of the party/social hostels in London. The Waterloo location is perfect for seeing everything in the city, it has bus stops within a 5 minute walk and the train station isn’t much...

    Location was easy to get to using public transport and was close to major landmarks. Staff are super friendly and made you feel welcome on arrival. Also the people staying was great, the social side of the hostel was very fun for me.

    One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Thank you to all the staff and also to the roommates/fellow travelers I met here. I’ll never forget the wonderful and fun memories in this beautiful city, and I’ll definitely come back if I get the chance.

    This place is absolutely amazing. I originally only had a reservation for one night, but returned the next week feeling like I was coming home. The hostel facilities are clean and I didn't miss anything here. But what makes this accommodation...
