Pickwick Hall Reviews

The hostel is based between two small parks and has its own little back garden you can look into from the dining room. The landlord an staff are very relaxed and accommodating. I got up every morning before the official breakfast time and nobody minded me making my own cup of coffee. Nice and quiet atmosmphere. Iif I need accommodation in London again, I will go back there.

A great place to stay! Great location and staff were really helpful. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm which was perfect for those that want a quiet sleep

the staff is far from helpful

Really good value and nice staff. I completely recommend this place. For 38 pounds I got a large room with a double bed, which personally I find amazing for such a great location, even if shower and toilet facilities are shared. Breakfast is free and served in a very nice room. Clean, large room and decent bed. This place would be much more expensive if some of the furniture was in a better state. Does it matter, given the bed is confortable and room clean? No. I give it 9 out of 10.

Great place! the staff was really nice and it was clean and had everything i wanted/needed in a hotel. It was not crowded with backpackers like I imagined, but was full of people in their late twenties in town for school/work. Loved this place! Would definitely stay again!

I stayed here for 1 night with my boyfriend. The location is perfect. Staff are lovely. Room was nice (a little dated but absolutely fine). Great price. I would stay here again.

Although they have fewer rooms, it's definitely a great option for who is in small groups or in a couple looking for quieter nights. I had no troubles using the shared bathroom upstairs. The common room has VHS player! And the fact that the owner lives there makes me feel secure. The breakfast is OK.

I had a twin room. Very spacious and a good common room with free internet.

I found more than expected. Very clean, extremely kind staff. Good London atmoshere and very central, I will book it again.

Beds are not very comfortable and the sheet are quite old with marks here and there. The fridge had not been cleaned and it smelled like beer. Although the weather was cold the indoors were nicely warm and it wasn't cold in the nightime either. The breakfast included (coffee/tee, cereal, toast) was a plus. The staff was friendly and very helpful.

Such a pleasant and welcoming place! Thank you so much!

Friendly and civilised, in a nice, old-fashioned way that we appreciated. Interesting pictures on the walls, enough copies of "Bleak House" for everyone to take one to bed, and we did appreciate being able to open the huge sash windows, even in March. Brilliant location almost next door to the British Museum.

Nice friendly hostel. Kept to a good standard and staff were nice and personal with you. Good location on a quiet street a few minutes walk from Holborn Station. Would definitely recommend this place to any friends or family

Staff was very helpful and nice. Amazing location. Great common room. Very nice rooms. It's very quiet. Only problem I had was that they have double taps (hot +cold water separately) and only one (hot) stream in some showers (This seems to be a british thing though, I've seen them everwhere). I'm definitely booking it for another trip to London.

The place is a bit run-down, as other reviewers have stated, but it's fine if you're just staying for a few days, and it is clean. The staff was mixed in terms of friendliness, but they were all fairly disorganized. We asked one woman what time we needed to check-out, she said 11:30, yet we had another women knocking on our door at 10:00 the next morning telling us that we had to get out. She also told us we hadn't paid, although we had (in cash) when we arrived. Luckily, I had the pay stub.

A very nice hostel that looks like a hotel. The breakfast is served in the morning by a charming employee. The room was big and comfortable. We did not have noise issues and the location was great, just a few meters away from Holborn station. To recommend.

GREAT! The building may be old, but it looked very authentic and cute (grandma-ish), and was immaculate (very clean) at the same time! - Staff: were so friendly and helpful! - Location: couldn't be better, right in the middle of the city, yet very quiet and peaceful. - Price: was the lowest I could find for a single private room! I rarely leave 100% reviews, but this place deserves more than that. It was so great I still get a good feeling thinking about it :) Thank you everyone! Hamid

The room was good. Breakfast in the morning was help your self and they had a decent selection of cereals, toast and spreads. The room was quiet (unplug the fridge first) and the rooms kept the light out with decent curtains and a double room door. My only problem was the bed sheets were really itchy, and I had a hard time sleeping because of this, they should look into this.

Excellent location, average cleanliness, very poor mattress

Great place to stay! Will definitely come again!
