Smart Camden Hostel Reviews

If you are looking for a really cheap room in London, close to everything, this is a good place to stay. it\'s really well located as you have the tube just 5 min walking and a bus station just in front.breakfast is ok considering the price. the guys at the reception are nice. when this crazy guy pissed on the room floor @4am (!!!!) the poor guy at the reception has been really fast to put him outside and then he cleaned everything.

Not the best hostel I`ve been in, but a good value for the price.

nous étions 5 filles pour 4 nuits + une équipe très agréable qui n\'hésite pas à rechercher des informations pour les visiteurs, une chambre nettoyée quotidiennement par la femme de chambre chambre qui s\'ouvre à carte -> sécurité - Pas de volets ni de rideaux, chambre lumineuse dès 4h30 le matin :-( des \"co-piaule\" qui rentrent trop tard et ne sont pas très respectueux du sommeil des autres ! une ventilation dans la salle de bain et la lumiere qui sont sur minuterie :-s une douche

Well where do I start? I\'m really not very picky, but this hostel was one of the worst I\'ve stayed in... I\'ll start with the good stuff though. It\'s right around the corner from beautiful Regent\'s Park and a lot of pubs and restaurants... and it has free wifi that works. Now the down side. This place is the kind of hostel that people use because it\'s dirt cheep and a place they can stay while looking for permanent living. The whole place was dirty and run down. The comforter on the bed smelled ranci

Really good location, within walking distance of Camden market and a good place to kip for the night. Bathroom facilities are old and not very clean and there isn't really enough for the amount of people in the hostel. The staff were there and available if needed but could have been more friendly and outgoing, not bad or rude though. The hostel had a pretty good kitchen and a common room and provided coffee, cereal and toast in the morning which was nice. Overall a value for money hostel.

I stayed there for two days and I can say the staff was most helpful. They helped me with my really heavy bag, one of the guys let me used his computer when I couldn't connect to the Internet from mine, everyone was very helpful and nice. And the location is just perfect, close to everything interesting and worth to see. I definitely recommend this hostel.

The bedrooms are very small and durty, and they dont clean at all!! The breakfast is very poor. The only good thing is the location

Great staff. Great value for money.

This was a mixed experience. The first couple nights the staff was unfriendly, the second couple nights they were good. Cleanliness is ok-ish - not great but ok. Common room seats are uncomfortable. No lockers to put our luggage in the rooms (I hate that,) but a (paid) shed outside for storage during the day. Having a kitchen is great (and rare in London,) breakfast was typical. The showers were completely useless - warm water slowly dripping out the head. Had to take a shower elsewhere.

small and pretty dirty... okay for a night or two because of its location, but it really doesn't have much else going for it. i probably wouldn't stay again

Arrivé sur dans des lieux très etroits, et très sales. On peu s'enregistrer à 10h30, seulement les chambres sont nettoyés vers 11h. Cela nous laisse le temps d'aller au toilettes en marchant dans de l'urine, de croiser le recetionniste de nuit qui nous indique que l'on peux rester garer là le samedi cette portion de rue n'est pas payante. En faite on reviens il y a un PV. Finalement cétait l'autre rue et le dimanche. Sinon on a "dormi" moyennement puisque trop de bruit et une folle ds la piece.

The hostel has a good location, nice facilities, the only bad thing is that they allow some people from around that are staying just to get drunk in Camden , not real backpackers travelling. And that is a bad thing.

The receptionist was very rude with us. The rooms are really skanky and the floor always dirty. I wouldn't go back.

staff are verry nice the only probleme is shower one by room is not enough

I loved free wi-fi in the room and free breakfast; there are more expencive hostels in same distance to central London that dont offer as much...

At arrival the dorm and built-on bathroom were rather clean. Unfortunately no cleaner ever entered the facilities during our 5 night stay. Rather dirty conditions! Additionally, the dorm was tiny for 8 people... but that's London.

I am really not a very picky person when it comes to hostels. I have stayed in bedrooms with up to 20 people several times before and I do not expect much for such low costs of accommodation. However, this hostel was the worst I have ever stayed in. Because I was travelling with a friend, we decided to pay a bit more and book a room with only 6 people. The room was very small, which would not have been a problem, but the guys sharing the room with us seemed to \"live\" there. They were no tourists, so th

Staff was friendly enough but hostel is beyond low-quality. Loud at all hours of the night, overly cramped even for a hostel, unclean and downright disgusting. Not enough accomodating factors for the amount of travelers squeezed into each room. I mean, one bathroom downstairs for everyone?! And a disgusting bathroom at that...

The shower in our room was far too hot and we couldn't change the temperature. The shared toilet on the corridor was dirty and disgusting.

l'housekeeper per pulizia del bagno intende strappare tre fogli di carta igienica e passarli sul lavandino e sul water. Ma per 9.99 £ a notte a Londra di sicuro meglio non si può trovare. Il personale è simpatico e disponibile e i servizi buoni (anche se tutti a pagamento: 1,50 £ per il deposito bagagli, 1,50 £ per la chiave dell'armadietto, non so quanto chiedano per il noleggio degli asciugamani perché quando sono stata io li avevano finiti - o forse è un servizio che proprio non hanno)
