Dover Castle Hostel and Bar Reviews

The best hostel i have ever stayed in.

I liked the place. Staff were friendly and tried to help you. The location was good. It's close to the tube and just a short walk away from London bridge. Breaky was the norm. Showers kinda sucked. There's only one shower per level and only two toilets as well. You can end up waiting awhile if you don't want to explore the other levels.

The bathrooms are terrible, only one shower and toilet per floor and the water in the shower kept shutting off every 10 seconds, it was really annoying. The rooms are clean but really noisy because of some door that kept hiting itself in something during the night. They don´t have lockers in the rooms, only outside and for rent. The good things is that the prices in the bar are fair and the location is excellent, right next to a underground station and maybe 40 min walking from the Big Ben Tower

Hostel is clean, but poorly ventilated. It is quite old building, and used as a hostel for a long time, so it has this distinctive sweat and humidity smell. It might give you a headache. I wish windows would open at least a notch more in rooms. Another interesting inconvenience- no any dishes, utensils in a kitchen. You have to go to the reception and pay a deposit for that. In a morning you might wait in a queue to the showers/toilets/washroom. Beds are comfortable,good location.

Booked because it was cheap so we got what we were expecting. That said, I've stayed in 10+ hostels and this has to be the worst of them. There is essentially one shower per floor (and there was at least 20 on my floor) unless you want to share your stall. There was only one powerpoint in a room for 12. I know that the staff tried to clean regularly, but the bathrooms were always dirty and smelt awful. Wouldn't recommend The good parts was the closeness to the station, good wifi and decent beds.

Generally I found the hostel a great place to stay. Everything was pretty clean and definitely above average compared to other hostels I've stayed in so far. The staff is very friendly and helpful. One thing I wasn't happy about was the shower facilities. Every floor only has one shower room with two showers in it. Unless you go in with a friend only one person can use the room at one time and it's not much for the amount of people actually staying in the hostel wanting to shower in the morning.

Great stay in general. Location is great. We walked everywhere and rented bikes (2pounds) a day per person if you do it right and can switch at diff stations throughout city. Bar was good and kitchen was good enough. I'm 22 and for my needs it was perfect. Don't listen to the ppl who complain about tiny little details...no hostel is perfect.

Simply the best!!!

It was super cheap so we hadn't no expectations but it was actually okay

Friendly & helpful staff, comfy beds & great facilities

i dont recomend

Staff were really nice. Very inexpensive for London. Would stay again.

Very nice hostel and friendly stuff . Good location close to tower london

Dude at the breakfast place was unfriendly, we just wanted to sit in the bar to wait for a friend and he was like breakfast is over you cant sit here when theres another 10 people sitting in the bar chatting. My mushroom paté by the windowsill got taken away/stolen. Cold showers mostly on first and second floors.

good value of money and located in a excellent place, which can be easily found and near the underground station. The only and the worst problem is that the shower often function poorly, sometimes with freezing water and sometimes with damn hot water.

Good place to stay for backpackers...The staff is great ...

Good breakfast

Good location, not far on the tube to central London. The room was fine, and the pub downstairs was fun. Only issue was the shower- I couldn't get hot water and had to continually push the tap to turn it back on.

Hostel manager was not very kind and helpful.

This hostel is in a great location and had nice, clean rooms. The downside would be that the showers were cold and did not function very well. Also, it was extremely noisy at night and rather cold (though I did visit in January). The staff were friendly and the atmosphere welcoming, just the facilities were a bit lacking.
