London Backpackers Reviews

Really good hostel! Really nice and helpful staff. Lot's of people so you can meet lot's of people. really colourful. the only negative thing is that it's far from the city centre but it's next door the tube station so that's fine.

This was the main thing i didnt like about this hostel: reception is opened only from 8 to 22. from 22.01 to 07.59, u have to use a magnet card they give u, just to get inside the hostel. well, i didnt ask for it, i know it was my mistake, but when i asked for it at 22.05 to the guy who was in reception, he told me "i cant, reception is closed" so i couldnt get out of there. what if someone comes to check in n has problems arriving n he does it at 22.01?? he sleeps in the streets? too bad.

Too much money for the facilities such as tiny and cold showers, tiny, messy and overcrowded kitchen that functions as laundry room and lounge as well..Not good enough indeed!

I really enjoyed my stay here. Quite easy to get to and very easy to get to and from Camden town. The staff were very nice and helpful. I would 1000% recommend this hostel to a friend.

London backpackers was a pretty decent hostel for the price. Good facilities (kitchen, common areas etc.), great staff and cheap. The only thing that could be improved is the showers, but you can't have everything.

dislike everything about that hostel, the dorm that we were sleeping in was way too warm at night and there was no ventilation. the stuff were not friendly at all. the bath room were in the third floor while we were sleeping at second floor, that means one bathroom for the whole building.

I enjoyed my stay very much. Spend 4 nights in a 18 bedroom room - it was clean and the guests were as respectable as possible. No worries. I would stay there again.

Good comfortable bunk beds that are actually clean... and when you climb onto the top bunks, it doesn't feel like the bed's going to topple over or anything. The staff is friendly. The kitchen/common area is fun to hang out in. And the pool in the basement is cheap. The Wifi signal is pretty strong throughout the whole hostel.

It's your average hostel. They would not let me check in early, so I had to sit around for three hours for their 1:00pm check in time. The staff gave me info on restaurants and local attractions, so they were helpful in that respect. Was offered to go on a pub crawl, which I took (I recommend this if you want to get in the Ministry of Sound Club without advanced tickets). The breakfast was almost non-existent; no coffee. It's in a safe location; the tube is across the street. The price is good.

The hostel was really good, is not veru close to the center, but for the price i think is ok. There's other hostel with the same price and location and worst. So i would certainly recomned this hostel. Be prepared to travel by metro for al least half an hour!

A little far from things to do but it was dreary and raining anyway so the basement was unreal. Had a solid pool tournament and the corner store 2 doors down sells tall cans for €1.

THIS IS THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER STAYED AT. The hostel rooms are boiling and stink. In the morning we were getting changed and the creepy guy from reception walked in WITHOUT knocking (all the peeps who work here are creepy!!) he didnt leave and proceeded to 'change' aka tuck the sheets in and pick of hairs in the duvet. The bathroom has 3 toilets, 3 awful showers and comes complete with a 'security' camera pointing towards a mirror. The kitchen is dirty. u have to pay for EVERYTHING!! BOOOO!

Cool place with an awesome price just a little far out from the centre.

As far as hostels go, this one was pretty nice. It was fairly clean and had good character. The location is a bit far from central London, about 25-30 minutes on the subway. The staff at the front desk was very helpful. Thankyou to them!

The room smelled really bad.

was all you needed, very crowded rooms, cool artwork on the walls

I'm sorry but my experience in this hostel wass horrible. The room stunk and were dark, I couldnt breathe whenever I entered the room, I thought that I would not be able to sleep there, but I managed with my perfume. The staff is a little cold. The hostel is located in zone 3 so it's expensive to travel. The good thing about it is it's very near the tube station and surrounded by banks, many grocery shops and fast food stores.

There are WAYYY to many people at this hostel. It is loud and when people snore all night and are coming into your room on the hour from 2-6am non stop!!!!! It is not a horrible hostel for the money but you do get what you paid for. Plus the staff are unbelievably UNHELPFUL!

It´s far from downtown, and you must pay subway for 3-4 zone... and the breakfast is really poor, the heat in water at the showers cannot be regulated so... it can be warm, cold or hot.... you never know.... even the place is not so bad, if I go again to london I will look other options...

I found it to be a huge blast, I stayed for 5 nights, party every night, everyone was very friendly could always jump in and talk to people. The only problem, and it wasn't really even a problem, was the location, but I knew beforehand it was a bit distant so it wasn't a big deal. I was sad when the day came for me to head out.
