Beds were amazing! Charles was very accommodating, felt right at home. Showers are great, if a little small.

Really enjoyed my stay here! The room, the bed, the staff and the breakfast was great. I liked the location too. Just one little thing is that I had to take a freezing shower. It was great to get free wifi as well!

I would have loved a place where to cook. This hostel is on top of a bar, and you would think it's noisy and all, but if you wanted to hang out on the bar, there was enough noise not to think you were at your grandmas bday, but not so much to bother the people sleeping above. Bathroom and bedrooms were clean, and beds had courtains to maintain your privacy and a night light so if you wanted to read or write, or just have a light you wouldn't disturb your roommates.

Thank you very much for a very enjoyable stay. The TV above the computer was very handy as I could watch TV and check my facebook simultaneously! The breakfast was also lovely, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Thank you for a pleasant stay at your hostel. I appreciated the friendliness of the women (sorry, forgotten names already) who minded the pub and hostel. I liked your breakfast, the foam beds and curtains around the beds that gave privacy. The location of your hostel is also very convenient, along with the maps and information readily available in paper form.

This is a great hostel to use it to sleep. Is very clean and the rooms are really confortable. If you are looking to meet people this is not your hostel.

Thank you for choosing Destinations Hostels during your visit to London, we do not advertise we have a common room, but downstairs in the bar there are plenty of people to meet, if you can do that, all our patrons have not had trouble mixing with your patrons of our pub, thank you for your comments and we hope to see you again.

I had computer in the room - but without the hard drive. Also, I had the TV, but without the remote control.

Thank you for choosing Destinations Hostels during your visit to London, you are very wrong in your comments, the computer was working during your stay because I upgraded the virus software, but you do have to turn it on first, and the TV remote was next to the TV or being used by another guest, but it is there, why did you not bring this to the attention of the staff, you marked down the staff to and this proves that you were not communicating with them, we are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us, thank you for your comments.

I was in a six bed dorm. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was good and the cleanliness was great. So, in the end, I am glad for chosing thishostel. The only problem was the space to store all my stuff: there were some hangers, about 8 or 9 in total, so to share with 6 people, and a very small locker under the bed. The result was that I had to leave almost everything in my backpack and if by accident someone had decided to take it, I couldn not have had any chance to impede it.

Great hostel with nice and friendly stuff. Location is excellent, just few minutes from London bridge station. The only thing which I didn't like was the fact that people did not clean the showers after themselves. :( The water was "slowly going out" the shower and people didn't care to wait to clean after them. :( Otherwise, everything is great, ah yes - nice and comfortable beds and excellent offer of beers in the pub. :)

This is one of the best hostels I have stayed at. The beds were comfortable and had curtains for privacy and lockers beneath. Each room had a computer for web browsing and the WiFi was also reliable. The bathrooms were small but well-maintained and the water was hot. The pub downstairs provided a nice hang out with a friendly, laid back atmosphere. The staff were amiable and very helpful, giving tips on things to do and providing maps and transit advice. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The Location is very central. Cleanliness could have used a little work but ultimately I was very satisfied. Staff was very friendly.

It's a little far from the city centre, but very close to the tube, so that wasn't a problem. My friends and I stayed here very comfortably and enjoyed every second. We would all gladly stay here again. Staff is lovely, as was our room, the unlimited supply of tea, the beds, and the free breakfast. We got great advice on things to do and it was very secure.

I love staying at the Rose and Crown. My airport ride driver commented that he has dropped off many a customer at the pub but that this was his first time picking someone up from a pub!
