Hootananny Hostel Reviews

It was already my second stay and I'm definitely coming back!

Friendly, warm, safe, breakfast included!!

Great place to stay. The manager Sam is a good guy and will look after you.

There are tons of other hostels which are cleaner and better than this one at the same price.

yep wicked place, good staff. the best place to stay in the middle of brixton and will defiantly stay again. had a wicked night with the people that stayed there after we had come back from the show.

love this place cant wait to go back :)

If you are looking for a cheap place to stay without any extras this is okay. But if you like to have clean showers, a clean kitchen and a place where it doesn't smell like mexican food in the whole house, don't come. Seriously, it's for people who need to stay just anywhere.

The only real hostel in London!

Very friendly staff. Laid back and approachable. Great location, and the Mexican food downstairs was very good as well. We all had a good time, thanks!

I was only meant to stay two nights but ended up staying for over a week. Really cool place with awesome people staying here. Had good times and a lot of fun.

there are so many good things about this place, the fun, the friendliness, the food and venue downstairs, but by far the best thing about this place has to be the effort that the manager (Skye) puts in to making you feel welcome, comfortable, entertained, and part of a caring family. there is always something happening and its a great place to be. best hostel i have stayed in

We enjoyed our stay and especially the fact the hostel had a pub underneath it that was open until 3am. It was really close to the Brixton Academy and the underground. The dorm was in a bit of a state but there were 8 people in there the night we stayed.

Lovely place to stay. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. You can also come and go as you please since you get your own key to the building. Only real gripes are the oven not working and the bathrooms only being cleaned once. By the end of the day, they're not in the best condition. Otherwise nothing bad to say... The beds are comfy and the makings of breakfast are provided, i.e. cereals, porridge, sliced bread, tea, coffee, etc. The location is convenient too, everything is nearby.

Had an amazing time,this is my second visit to the hostel.Its great that it has a bar downstairs and music nights[first visit was after lovebox festival where we went just for manu chao,and when we got to the hostel that evening they managed to get manu chao to play live thought i was going to cry...memory never forgotten],great communial areas. will be back soon xx

Great place to stay. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. When we return to London, we will definately go back to the Hootannny Hostel

I would like to thank the hootananny hostel for a great time. The staff were excellent to deal with and the hostel was great value.

exectley the opposite of New Yorker Hostels. For my taste; hundred percentig better . :-)

Lived at the Hoot before and love it here. Its a great hostel to stay, secure and clean and always a great laugh. Recommend to anyone if you want a relaxing fun hostel and a good size kitchen.

You want to have the most fun from your penny. You like listening to good music. It's the best place I know so far in London. I have gone in 3 differents hostels, this one is far better of the others. The place is old but warmfull, staff is excellent and people there are here for the fun. It's the real hostel experience in my opinion. But because this place is so cool, if you want an hostel only to sleep and nor for the fun packaged in it... Just go somewhere else. Others hostels are so boring!

its a good hostel. many people been here and mad ther cliks, so felt a bit like i was gate crashing the first night but after a while you will find everyone is really friendly :)
