Smart Camden Hostel Reviews

It's 10 pounds a night and you get what you pay for. You have to put down a 10 pound key deposit, so be aware of that before you get there. At least it had outlets in every room. Breakfast ended at 9:30, which is the earliest of any hostel I've been to. The duvets were dirty and the rooms looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a while. But it's a good location near the Camden Markets, and I'm a poor college student, so I dealt with it, but if you have less limited finances go somewhere else

If you just need a bed for the night, this place is perfect. It's cheap, in Camden, the staff are helpful, toilets are usable, its go breakfast and a computer.

This hostel is very much a place to sleep. The shower was pretty clean and working well. Toilet was also clean. Coming back late you can stay in the TV room or kitchen although they say they close at 1am. Wouldn't stayhere if i wanted to be in the hostel a lot, but if your intention is to go into the city everyday it's good value for money.

well...it's ok for short stay and just if you don't have to spend much time in the hostel: everything it's very tiny and dirty but if you're easygoing all this little things will not bother you. the location is perfect, 5 minutes walk from camden tube station and mornington crescent tube station.

It was all rather claustraphobic. The only facilities were in the dorm, no additionals anywhere. I was very pleased I had booked an all female dorm!!!

Hostel candem inn is full of drunk and noisy people. I was there for four days and i couldnt sleep a complete night. Kitchen and breakfast are very poor and bathroom is always dirty.

only negative are the small rooms . Good location, good staff, it was clean.

It made the most of the space it has, which meant that I could stay there for a cheap price, as there were lots of beds. However, the shower was not the most enjoyable part of the stay! It's either really hot or very cold - no in between heat! It's a very small space, which caused me to feel very claustrophobic whilst in the shower and trying to change in the shower area. But as I said, the hostel made the most of the space it had so that it can offer people the cheapest accommodation.

very comfy beds, too high situated shower jet, veeeeery slow internet, a tiny bit more space in the room wouldn't hurt. otherwise a very good value for people who come to the hostel to sleep only and go out in the morning for the day.

This is the most horrible backpackers I've ever stayed in!! It's fealthy, it looks like the rooms and bathrooms are never cleaned; I felt really oppressed in the premises due to narrow staircase, narrow hallways, actually, narrow everything! The rooms are ridiculously small and the tenant still managed to place 8 beds in a room that should contain no more than 4, with only one dirty bathroom! The sinks are so tiny that we can't even wash our hands nor clean our teeth, and the sheets smell bad

We have to wait one and a half hour for the check in The room was very small and wasnt really clean The bathroom was dirty The night recepcionist wasnt very nice

good place to meet new people

Quite noisy, shower was horrible (the lights switched off constantly and were quite a struggle to switch on again+shower sprayed more outside the shower cabin than inside it), took a long time before the hot water ran. Very nice location, nice staff, luggage storage was a great idea and the included breakfast was definitely a plus!

Stayed in a four-bed dorm, resulting in not much space to move around comfortably. Light sensor in the shower was pretty annoying and there was no way to control the water temperature either, often resulting in one feeling like one was suffocating in a hot suana. Wifi was good in the room I stayed. Overall, not too bad a place to put up with for a couple of nights if you're not too fussy.

was dirty & very noisy. the rooms were very small, and there are only toilets per floor, not on the ground floor. Disappointing place, even when the location was excellent. Cannot recommend it.

What an absolute dump of a place. I actually cant believe its still operating and hasn't been shut down yet. The place is filthy (blood and other fluids all over my matress), everything is broken. Showers are tiny and have no water pressure and barely any hot water. Beds are small and squeaky, the whole place is noisy with thin walls and roof (could hear people stomping above us until 4AM) The staff are rude and unhelpful. DO NOT STAY HERE.

* Wireless connection was bad, the hostel should get a better wireless solution and move the device to the TV room where most of the time is spent inside the hostel. * For smokers: reopen the garden that is accessible from kitchen for smokers

No problem with this hostel : real value for money! We had a twin room with a very small shower but everything was ok, it was warm and the staff make real efforts to make things better : table, chairs, curtains...and security is perfect with the cards and always someone to welcome you. The breakfast could be better but bread, butter, jam and tea seems normal to me for an hostel. We spend 4 nice nights there!
