The hostel was amazing. Nice environment with everyone sharing common areas. Place is respectful with noice policies. The area is not very safe to walk around, but you're close to principal attractions so it compensates one with the other one.

Avia, 1-night trip

Overall it was good! Just slightly annoying if you arrive early in the day. Luggage drop-off is available with a slight fee. People in my room were chill and nice.

Vincent, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was a pleasant stay in the hostel. All facilities are clean and well maintained. I stayed in a 4-bed dorm which was very quiet. The roommates are very respectful. The area is nice and very close to a nice walking trail along the river and quay. The bad side is the property is close to a railway which could be noisy before 12am.

Rooms are spacious and tidy however, they ask you to check out at 10am which is way too early compared to check-in time of 2pm. Also the luggage compartments are too narrow to put in a bag.

Paul, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hostel. You pay a little bit extra than you would for others but it is so worth it for here. Second time staying here after once in 2023 and this time round was even better. Since my last stay they’ve added curtains to all beds as well as a fan and a safe in each bunk. Only pitfall is the rooms can be quite stuffy depsite the fans. Card swipe for entrance, door room, and you use it to access your locker as well. Bathroom is solid for a hostel, shower warms up quickly however doesn’t get very cold if you’re wanting to cool down. Continental breakfast is solid, you can make toasties, they have little porridge cups, and a coffee machine amongst other bits and pieces. Bar downstairs is great, always lively. People that stay hear are lovely too, could defs solo travel here. Staff are fantastic and quickly resolved any issues, chatty as well when you check in which makes you feel welcome. Location is close to tower bridge so you’re on the east side, but two tube stops are 10 minute walks away and it takes about 10-15 more minutes on the tube to get to all the main sights and attractions in central London. However, the location is close to Shoreditch and Brick Lane vintage market, onky short walks away. Plenty of supermarkets nearby as well. 100% recommend staying here :)
