We were really pleased with our stay at Journeys London Bridge beginning of January. The Hostel was extremly cheap and for that money it was exellent. Of course it wasn't always that clean but even my friend, who can't stand dirt,liked the hostel a lot. If we ever go back to London we will definitely stay at the Journeys London Bridge again The location was good as well. It was in a quiet neighbourhood, not in the centre of London but it took us only 10 min to get everywhere. PERFECT!

The toilet was very very dirty and left as it was for more than 1 day. The 15 bedroom was too packed for 15, bed very small. The area is not very safe either. There should be better place at the same price.

It is located at a quite surrounding. The room is somehow crowded. (I was in 9 person room) The worst problem is that the toilet is stuck with garbage!

Very depressing location and atmosphere. Some staff were nice, some just plain rude. Cold, cramped rooms and noisy stairways and entrances. Tiny showers often lacking in hot water. Wouldn't go back.

Look it's OK, it's not the cleanest but it's decent, not the big party hostel But u can find people who will go out. It's just the little things, having to put down £5 deposit for every piece of silverware, plates etc u wanna use. The guy didn't explain where anything was so I had to ask a bunch of questions, just things like that. I've stayed in worse but I've also stayed in better.

Hostel is quite nice, but 15 people in small 1 room, sleeping in three-storey beds was too much also for me (and i´m not high-demanding), I miss a place where i could sit when we came from all day walking through London (because we were sleeping in 2nd and 3rd storey). kitchen and common room is nice, staff is really cool:-)

Not a great hostel, not really a bad one either. If you want to spend a couple of cheap nights in London, it could be a solution but I bet you can find something better for same price and closer to London night life.

Cleanliness under standards! All the toilets ran out of toilet paper by the night. Didn't feel secure at all, especially when male staff randomly walked in to our female room to change bedding or sth. Wasn't enough space comparing to number of beds in the room, u could barely open the suitcase. Had to skip breakfast cause there were no bread left nor clean dishes (and I didn't go 10 min before the end). Sockets next to beds didn't work! Wouldn't recommend or go back.

They say that they clean the toilets every 1 hour but that can not be true because it was dirty for very long.. someone had cut their hair and the hair was all over the floor until the next day...

Not bad for the price. A few broken lockers and showers which was a but annoying. Beds, security, staff all fine. But you get what you pay for. Happy with my stay.

One of the worst hostel I know! Showers dirty, corridors dirty, rooms dirty, staff unprofessionnal etc. A nightmare... To avoid if you can...

Good: Real close to tube station, beds are quite comfy, curtains around each bed for privacy, 24-hour-service at reception. Bad: I don't have such high standards but this place is really, really dirty. Carpets, bathrooms, showers - everything a little disgusting. Not enough lockers for everybody, not enough space to store bags without messing up the room, key card didn't work reliably, quite noisy, seemingly quite many long-term guests. Wouldn't visit again, wasn't worth saving the money.

extremely filthy kitchen/toilets/showers/hallways (100% more than the 8 other hostels I stayed at throughout London), I-don't -care attitude staff, so rude, seem so bitter maybe racist. hostel is tiny & overcrowded, thick layers of dust on fans. Lockers broken, horrible smell in hallways, guests are for the most part immature/unsociable. area is so dodgy although some may disagree. NOISY UNTIL LATE AT NIGHTS. HOT AS HELL IN THE ROOMS. cannot sleep even w window open. NEVER AGAIN

In the 9 bed shared room there was 9 beds but only 8 lockers, and two of the lockers were broken and they didn't fix it. The room didn't smell so well because you can not open the window. But the bathroom was ok and seems clean almost all the time. The common area is quite comfortable. Anyway the hostel is ok, but cuold be better whit some minor details.
