Nice hostel, quite expensive but have comfortable rooms and good location. Ideal for people who wants a peaceful stay. Don't go there looking for meeting people. The staff is really nice and it is a safe place. I could stay there again.

Thank you for choosing Destinations Hostels during your visit to London, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and likied our facilties, but you can stay at our hostel and meet plenty of people in our pub downstairs, then there is your room mates, so to say you cannot meet people here is wrong, we are competively priced with other hoistels for their 4 and 6 bed dorms, so we are not more expensive and compared with our offering you get very good value for money, thank you for your comments.

The staff were awesome! Very friendly and helpful! Free breakfast every morning was a great added bonus! Rooms and bathrooms are small but if you're only there for a weekend like I was it was fine! Would definitely stay there again if in London for another weekend trip!

Rooms were fine, beds small. The room downstairs was not really cosy, so I didn't want to hang out too much in the hostel. Especially because wlan never really worked. (only on my phone, and it was difficult to get it to work). I find the price 17 pounds way too high for the offer. The breakfast was great.

Thank you for choosing destinations Hostels during your stay in London, we are sorry you did not enjoy your stay with us, please let me address your concerns, fdirstly the room downstairs is NOT the common room, it is a pub downstairs, open to the public, we do not have a common room, the wireless here is as good as any other hostel, we have 2 internet connections on the premises, you actually paid £16,25 per night and you will find you did not pay more than you would have paid at any other hostel, as for our beds, our beds are the european standard single bed, please read the details of your next hostel when you book, to criticise our hostel for something we do not offer, is wrong and misleading, thank you for your comments.

Hostel was quiet and bartenders downstairs were very nice and helpful. Asked them for directions and they were glad to help me.

nice hostel combined with a typical Britisch pub. very nice dorms: not the typical lousy bunk beds made of steel, but really comfortable ones made of wood.

The hostel is very nice, clean and new. It is pretty small so it is quiet and kind of cozy, and on the ground floor there is a real pub. Rooms are pretty and well-furnished. The only weird point was that in the morning the door for breakfast was shut and no one was around, so I coul not profit of the breakfast. Anyway I would definitely go back there and recommend the place to those who are looking for a cheap, quiet and well-located place to stay.

A bit far away from the main tourist attractions. Wifi was great sometimes and terrible other moments, breakfast was ok,. Room smelled weird, but it was good. Staff was GREAT and very helpfull when i needed. showers were good and clean. The worst thing was that we needed to check out very early, asked at the reception and they agreed, on the check out day no one was there so we had to wait and arrived at the airport late but on time to catch the flight.

Thank you for choosing Destinations Hostels during your stay in London, we are central for most attractions, we are 5 minutes from the tate modern and 15 minutes from the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, 25 minutes from Big Ben, as for the early check out, we open our repception at 7am but the guests can leave any time before this by the seperate hostel entrance/exit, if you have any towels, keys or anything to return we always advise to do this the night before departure, thank you for your comments.

This is what you would expect for this price in that area. It's tiny, but clean and everyone is very nice there. Lot of clubs near there

Lovely place. In some hostels you go just to crash for the night, there you go back after a long day to relax, I mean realy relax. it was what we were looking for - quiet and clean place to return to after a long day of walking, sightseeing and pub crawiling, definitely will recommend it to anyone heading to London for a few days or even a longer stay. Staff was friendly, breakfast was nice, offering boiled eggs and pastries. Will be back in London in few months, staying there for sure.

We stayed for 3 nights and had a very good time, beds where good, pub below was very nice. There are only 2 bathrooms with shower but we never had to wait for anyone. There is no possibility to use a kitchen and there is no lounge, for us this was not a problem but if you stay longer it might be. The location is really good, 5 minute walk from London bridge. The staff was very friendly and we would recommend this hostel but not if you plan to stay for a long time.

Thank you for choosing Destinations hostels during your visit to London, we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us, WE DO NOT SAY WE HAVE A KITCHEN/COMMON ROOM ON THE WEB PAGE, please read the hostel description when booking your next hostel, to mark us down for not having these facilities when we do not advertise them is unfair and does not reflect our hostel in a truthful way, thank you for your comments.

It's a great place with a friendly staff. It's less busy than some of the other hostels, which is nice because you generally have to share a room with less people. There's a nice pub downstairs which works after a long day of touring the city. Wooden beds and large flatscreen tvs in the rooms. The bathrooms are a little small. The staff was nice!

Sympathetic hostel. It was too warm in the room; only the next day I discovered where the button of the heating was. Large television in the room: strange idea. The room is to sleep, not to watch television (and disturbe the sleepers; I was glad this did not happen).

Thank you for choosing Destinations hostels during your stay in London, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us, all rooms have tempreture controls on the radiators, we do have big screen tv's in the room but we ask all our guests to use subtitles as often as possible so not to disturb the other guests, thank you for your your comments.
