Brazen Backpackers Reviews

Clean and quiet place, very good to relax, close to the Hyde Park, and other attractions. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Had a good time there. Ask for free beer when they are cleaning the beerlines ! :)

Not each member of the staff was friendly, but the ones who were, were really nice. 4 bed female dorm was all right with nice people. The mattress was making loud noises every time we turned, so sleeping was not always easy. Bed sheets were clean, toilets and showers just like you would expect from a cheap hostel. Breakfast OK. Altogether it was a very nice experience. Thanks!

we had a fab stay here at brazen. the staff are fabulous and it really does have everything you can ask from a hostel. close to the station, breakfast, wifi.

Everything was great, Im very satisfied with service!

Hostel with very friendly atmosphere and family, thanks to the pub and the staff are very nice.

This hostel was quite cheap and it's not too bad! The location is good for the underground - Edgware Road tube station is really close. The mattress was a bit lumpy, but the sheets were clean. The bunkbeds to squeak whenever anyone climbs up or down. One thing about the 9 bed dorm is there isn't much space for everyone's stuff. Also you need to either bring a lock for the lockers or buy one. On the day I checked out though one particular staff member was extra helpful - many thanks to him!!

It\'s a hostel, no hotel! It\'s worth the money and the location is fantastic. We did whole London by walking -)

This place is great! Came down for a stag do and didn't want to head out, I got chatting to the staff and had a few drinks there, the staff were so friendly. I saw other comments regarding cleanliness, but they had a cleaner go through every day, and it was not messy at all. Def will recommend to others.

The beds are comfortable but squeak.Small lockers are available in the dorts(bring a padlock).The small kitchen is not good fitted.The living room is ridiculous:very small,not cosy at all,no sofa but a few chairs..The bathrooms are ok.There isn\'t a friendly atmosphere in the hostel,and this is partly due to the staff itself who isn\'t warm at all.There are good free breakfasts but at 10am,they remove the chairs and throw you out of the bar..This hostel is OK for just a few nights but not more.

Good things: bar downstairs, near the tube station, really nice staff. Bad things: really dirty, bathroom facilities poor and few. On a general European level, this is not good value for money, but London is not an easy place for hostels... I wouldn't stay there again.

We only stayed here for the night, but it was really good just for the short stay- others were staying longer, but everyone was friendly and it wasn't a problem! The only quarm I have with this hostel is the bunk beds- they have triple decker beds which are not very sturdy and the top bunk is near impossible to get on, so I put my mattress on the floor and slept there which was fine and no one had a problem with it. Breakfast wasn't up to much but what do you expect for £10 a night?

Decent environment, and friendly staff. Beds are too squeaky (perhaps should consider wooden bunks), and mattresses need to be replaced.

A basic hostel, triple-stacked bunks, but the rooms was fairly clean minus a pair of panties wedged between the wall and the bed. Showers were warm and good pressure, and the pub was really nice, but the hostel could definitely benefit from a proper non-pub lounge, the one in the basement was eerie and cold, completely deprived of personality. Kitchen was very basic, I never used it though because it became so crowded at meal times that it was impossible to cook. Very central, which is awesome.

Both toilets on the 2nd floor were out of order for most of my stay and one of the showers was also not working. There also seemed to be a lack of toilet paper. Otherwise a nice hostel

I had a wonderful stay at the hostel, the staff are lovely and helpful, i stayed in a beautiful room with ensuite facilities. My room was tastefully designed, in the morning i met all the other guests for breakfast of juice, cereals, buttery toast, hot coffee, and tea. i hope to stay there again.

horrible three-story beds. Very shaky . whenever the person above or below you moves, all others move too. Slept really bad, waking up every one and then... additionally matresses are bad. however very bright rooms, good location, good breakfast, acceptable bathrooms and fair price.

Showers great. Breakfast lame. Common room a joke. Kitchen minimal. Beds uncomfortable and small. Good place for just one night.

PLUS: very close to tube stations of Edgware, there's a well-equipped kitchen, rooms/bathrooms are quite clean, free basic breakfast, cheap. MINUS: bad smell up the stairs (quite common in cheap london hostels..), the kitchen doesn't have a sitting area but there's a room located 3 floors downstairs. Overall it's not a bad, definitely not a party-hostel but not very much to complain about considering london standards (there are many better hostels but a lot worse ones)

Very nice bathrooms! far away from station, and hard to get in if arrive late

Got to the hostel late as my train was late. the staff were amazing, they gave me a free upgrade to a private room so i wouldnt disturb anyone. Had to leave early as well so really helpful.
