Dover Castle Hostel and Bar Reviews

The room was too small for 8 people (very very small) but clean. The staff didn´t really care helping us with anything and it took half an hour to check in (but and staff changed it got better). Bathroom was clean, just the curtain that was dirty, so it was a bit complicated to take a shower. Breakfast was ok: simple, toast, butter, jam, cereal, milk, water and juice. Reception is downstairs but rooms are upstairs (no elevator), so you need to get all your luggage down and then up.

Gross and confusing showers, old technology (like loud keys for the doors and two separate pass codes instead of one swipe card), deposits for EVERYTHING, sad towels & sheets, creepy old people (there's no age limit at this hostel :( )....I was not a fan of the "castle" at all. The staff was pretty nice, but the atmosphere in the rooms/reception/staircases was just icky. Also, the room doors don't lock unless you pull them pretty hard, so people just leave the doors unlocked to go in and out. :/

This hostel was the wors of all, where I have ever been.. In the bathroom was no heater. There was one bottom, what you have to push evry 5 secounds. After 15 minutes you have "hot" water but it wasnt too strong. I get cold there. My blanket and pillow was very usefull, and old...The staf was not helpfull...

They need more bathrooms in the dorms.

A great day in this hostel. I love it and i love London

The mattress was an insult. My bed was right by the side of the damn radiator. It was impossible to sleep in that hell. The shower was ridiculous, with an annoying timer (15 seconds!!! I counted!) and only one by each floor. The kitchen was dirty, unequipped and crowded. The breakfast was not that bad (at least one good thing).

The staff was horrendous, keeping us waiting on multiple locations. Other staff was friendly and helpful, but they never once checked my ID to see the bag room. Worst of all, the room had a HOLE IN THE WINDOW STUFFED WITH PLASTIC. DAMP, COLD, GOT SICK. VERY LOUD noise from the bar even on TOP FLOOR.

The hostel was fine despite the bathrooms being somewhat less than "clean." Good location, charming atmosphere.

Cleanliness sucks: one wc and one shower for 20 visitors! Furthermore, the stuff was dirty and they always didn't work. The only good thing was the warm blancket, because it was so cold during the night in the dorm!

I had 3 things stolen from right next to me as I slept, there is no security, the staff didnt care. I got some weird fungus on my feet from the shower (if you can call it a shower, more like a dripping tap that you share with 30 other people). Internet connection is bad and expensive, you cant skype. Staff rude, beds uncomfortable, and the place is riddles with thieves. DONT STAY THERE!!!

The beds were in not that great condition anymore. Sheets had stains on it. Breakfast was small but ok.

Beds were unbelievable uncomfortable, bathrooms were dirty, staff unhelpful and understaffed, I would not recommend this hostel to others. The shower has to be held on the whole time because it's on a timer. The water pressure is horrendous so you can't get shampoo out of your hair.

Very close to Borough Tube stop and London Bridge, Tate Modern.. There's a pub on the ground floor, opened till late, and a kitchen on the first floor. Breakfast is included. Bathrooms and showers are cleaned daily. Rooms aren't so clean, you can't get sheets and you can't use your sleeping bag.

well, we've stayed there just for 1night. It was good experience....near hostel there is good club and easy to access and they have a good location despite the fact that there is not safe and dirty..but there was cheap. it depend on your currency..

Absolutely terrible sleeping room. I was given a 8 person mixed dorm that had no power sockets at all inside. All the bunk beds seemed like they were from ikea and made horrible creaking noises as soon as somebody tried moving in them. The hostel is located along a major road for ambulances and other emergency service staff so every few minutes we could hear a siren that would wake us up. There is a linked pub downstairs except that you could hear the noise from the pub directly from the room.

Very good place on the south of thames for anyone like me whose main interest is the imperial war museum, at 20 min. Once in 2 weeks there was a student party in the pub but apart from that i slept well. If the weather is hot the 4th floor becomes incomfortable despite the air circulating device.. FREE (really) wifi a big plus

Would visit again . Really a good place. Would recommend

Excellent budget option. This hostel is clean, with friendly staff, just next to the underground. Prices are cheap when booked online in advance, rooms are spacious for london and although there is a bar downstairs is isn't loud at night in the rooms. As with most london houses the rooms are upstairs so for those of you who dont like walking upstairs then this might not be ideal. The shared bathroom was also clean,

Easy to find off of the metro. Nice private toilets and showers. Bar connected to hostel. Staff were really good and friendly. There is kitchen/lounge but it's a bit cramped. There isn't a real good place to chill within the hostel itself.

Great Locations, just some steps away the tube station. This is a nice hostel for the price, it needs more showers though.
