The Steam Engine, Bestplace Inn is a great hostel for those looking to see some of London?s best-known sites. Guests tell us ?you can easily walk everywhere in London? from this hostel, including Piccadilly Circus, the London Eye, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Lambeth North tube station is also nearby. Many of our visitors praise this hostel?s friendly staff, the ?clean and really comfy beds? and the discounted drinks and pizza in the pub downstairs. One reviewer told us they ?would recommend this to someone wishing to meet real Londoners?.

Nice staff and good location. But it wasn’t the cleanest and felt very packed.

The rooms are small and cramped. There’s very little space for bag storage in the room. We had to leave our bunks so other people could just get into the room with their bag because the room was so cramped. There’s no kitchen so you can’t prepare food and there’s no common space besides the pub below so you can’t enjoy outside food or drinks. The location is good. Staff is friendly. If you have a small bag and only need a night or two then I guess it’s fine.
