Excellent if you have an early train to catch, only 10min walk to station, and 24hr reception. Combination locks to enter rooms and hostel. Not a great deal of atmosphere in the pub downstairs. Helpful, knowledgeable staff. Would stay again.

I've experienced many hostels in London but this one will surely see me as a regular! Location wise it's perfect for those having to catch early trains/coaches at Victoria (easy 5-10 minute walk to/fro Victoria station). The hostel embodies its name (FRESH). Beds were very comfy (would've been nice though if the beds had curtains for privacy). Helpful and fantastic staff made me feel at home. I can commend FRESH all day long but just gave it a decent chance, you'll probably regret not doing so!

Is central location but you can find something better is good if is for short time or check in late. They were not cordinates and change our bed, so we had been at 2 am turning lights and finding the free beds :(

Friendly, efficient staff, plenty of space in the room, free lockers (byo lock), beds ready made, good number of showers/loos, decent breakfast, free luggage store: all good! The only things I'd really like that were missing are key card room entry, and sturdier bunks with a shelf and curtain per bunk. Also, as there isn't a common area apart from the bar below atmosphere isn't great. It did seem to mean the rooms were quieter though, so better for actual sleeping. I'd definitely stay again.

Ηταν όλα άψογα, όμορφη ατμόσφαιρα σα να είσαι ντόπιος και να συχνάζεις εκεί για τη μπύρα σου. Ολοι ευγενικοί και πρόθυμοι να σε βοηθήσουν. Μόνο τα κρεβάτια ήταν 3οροφες σιδερένιες κουκετες που ετριζαν κάθε φορά που κάποιος γύριζε πλευρό... (GR)

This hostel is great for a short journey I found. The 21 bedrooms are big, so even if there's a lot of people it doesn't seem like it. Don't forget to bring earplugs and something to cover your eyes! Breakfast is good, and nice that its serve right down in the bar. The facilities where always clean and there's code to go into the Hostel part and one code to the every room so its safe.

The White Ferry is well located if you want to be close to town, yet just far enough away to chill out at night. Great staff made us feel very welcome, and also the free breakfast provided each day saved us a lot of hassle. Not too badly priced either would definitely stay there again.

Staff was friendly at the bar/check in area. They allow you to keep your bag in their luggage storage downstairs that you need a code for. Kind of made me nervous because your bag just sits on a shelf with other bags. Showers were nice. I got wifi in my room which was great! It was on the first floor so that may be why! 10-15 minute walk from Victoria Coach and Victoria tube station, and Buckingham Palace but not near much on that street otherwise

Being above a bar, the place does not have much character- it is essentially a couple rooms with steel-frame beds shoved in them. However, this place is great where it counts: security is top-notch (key-card system with lockers in the rooms), and the value beats out any other hostel in London (one night's stay earns a bed, a locker, breakfast, and half-off a drink at the bar). I had no qualms with this hostel.

Despite the fact that I arrived very late, I was still given a very warm and helpful welcome by the man at reception (can't remember his name, but he had long hair). Such a nice, clean, quiet place to stay, and very reasonably priced for central London! I stayed in a 9-bed mixed dorm and there were no problems, no noise. Facilities were good with lockers and combination locks on all doors for added security. I really felt incredibly safe. Would definitely recommend this hostel!

Might've just been bad timing but staff weren't overly friendly. Would be great to go as a group but not the best place to meet people travelling by yourself. Pub has really nice atmosphere
