No.8 Hostel London Reviews

Excellent, understandable and experienced staffs. GOOD ACCOMODATION.

The security wasn't good because some people picked up your food in your bag. Good atmosphere, you can meet a lot of people...

Very nice place, a clean hostel with friendly and helpful staff.

staff was very friendly, rooms big, a bit smelly from dirty socks. lots of strange "alternative" people staying/living there. all the hostel seemed a bit random and unmanaged. but I enjoyed my stay, everything went smooth. its not five star, but for that amount of money, I got more than I expected. p.s. if you want to keep your stuff safe, you should bring your own lock. lots of space for stuff though

during our stay at NO8 hostel......the room we stayed in which was no 23 was quite clostraphobic as it had the smallest window ever which was situated in the corner of the room that u dont use, fire escape from the room if the fire was in the corridor would be IMPOSSIBLE, it had a musky smell, the first night wed 29th may was a sleepless one as other guests were in the corridor till around 3;30ish talking and laughing, there was also the sound of a washing machine running all night.

It actually would've been OK if it wasn't for the bed bugs. I stayed in the large mixed dorm which smelled terrible, and I wasn't the only one who got eaten alive by bed bugs every night. It's now 4 days later and they still itch like mad! It's in a dodgy area and the wifi doesn't work, so the computer room is always packed. Besides all the negative though, the staff are pretty nice and there's a cool bar downstairs. They charge a full 20 pound deposit though, which is a lot but you get it back.

Best for its price. a bit noisy at night for light sleepers but otherwise a very friendly atmosphere. thumbs up!

Was just a shame that the showers on the the first floor we out of order. Also in our room (room 6) the hearth reduced the floor space considerably and pain when I caught it in the middle of the night. Some freshening up of the paintwork and attention to the toilets (the one on the first floor is loose when you sit on it). Generally good value for money and what I expected so pleased overall.

I was lucky to have a four bed dorm to myself for two nights. The bathroom situation was fine and worked well. The area was a bit off putting to walk through alone as a female at night. Otherwise being located near a tube station in zone 2 was handy.

Not the cleanest or most attractive hostel but ok for what you pay for.

This hosrel was a fine place for our london visit. The only down side was they did not have enough showers are bathrooms for everyone.

We had a really nice week in the hostel, even if some showers were defect but well that happens. They should work a bit on the cleaning, as there were some hairs on my blankett when I arrived and the floor wasn't super clean, but it's okay. The staff was very friendly and willing to answer every stupid question. So if you are looking for a cheap stay in London with good access to the Tube, it's a good decision.

Loving the place and when come to London again, i defidently want to come at this hostel again. Little minus for fish-smelling room and a bit messines.

Good value for money. A.k.a cheap for London. Close to tube. Downs: noisy on weekend (bar played bass till the early hours. Probably wont stay here again but if you want cheap accom its fine.

Great, staff really friendly, hostel clean and tidy. Plumbing needs some work but otherwise fine.

Terrible localization, far from center and dangerous zone. Not safe to walk during the night, strange people in hostel's pub. Horrible mattress and with BEDBUGS! Awful cabinets, you can broke wood using your fingers, your lock will serve for nothing. No elevators, stairs are steep. Worst thing was bathroom, everything dirty, only 1 toilet and 2 showers for entire floor, men and women need to share! Hostel's staff are hardworking. I definitely would not recommend this hostel, specially for women.

Whilst the stay was overall quite cheap, you definitely get what you pay for. My bed had bed bugs and wasn't cleaned properly afterwards. Also only 2 of the showers actually had decent hot water. For 100 beds, this isn't really acceptable. Also the kitchen facilities could use an upgrade.

Good hostel, one of the best hostel in London, cheap safe and clean.

Very nice staff, they made us feel that they were there for anything we wanted. The location is ok if you are going to wembley, otherwise is quite far from the center of london but with the underground you can get there very easy. In general everything was good, the only detail was that the shower had hot water but the weather outside the water was cold. Good hostel.

I liked the beds, but please include a wood shelf under the mirrors to keep keys, cellphones and stuff like that during the night.
