The Walrus Hostel Reviews

Best atmosphere ever

This place was great! Possibly my favorite hostel in London so far, and I think this was my 5th. FREE TOWELS, free wifi, the staff was super welcoming and helpful, and the breakfast was good. If I get the chance to visit London again, I'll definitely be checking in at the Walrus!

best hostel for a perfect stay in london. greaaaaaat staff and erything around. We had some unexpected problems, but we din't get lost because of Alex. 1000 times THANK YOU!!!

Great location - only downside was the location to the train - 20' from our window, so we heard it constantly through the night. And very creaky bunk beds, so when the person moved on the bottom bunk, you heard and felt it.

I'm a student from Canada and the Walrus hostel was what made my London experience so amazing. The staff( Dean Alex an Steve) were simply amazing and really cool guys. They never hesitated to give advice or just chat. I highly recommend the Walrus hostel if your looking for a good location, up beat and lively type of Hostel.

The staff is definitely what made this hostel so great! They are unbelievably helpful and just generally awesome to talk to. It's also fantastically located; right near Big Ben, Westminster, the London Eye, and several underground stations. Though only downside is that there aren't a ton of showers, but you just kind of deal with it. The dorms are really spacious too! The bar is super reasonably priced, and it has a super cool atmosphere. This is definitely the place to stay while in London!

Excellent Staff, I actually booked for the wrong night. The staff tried to help me find another place to stay, and event though all other hostels were booked they still helped me find a bed for the night

Friendly and helpful staff, the best ones. If I come back to London, I will stay there agaib.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel. The location, staff are great. The bar downstairs is also fun. The breakfast is good, and also the showers. I would definitely recommend this hostel!

Perfect location, close to the tube, walking distance from Big Ben, Westminster and Thames. Excellent breakfast, nice beds and showers. Cleaning is good in general, but do not look behind the heaters or your bed, or you will have bad surprise! Good kitchen. Really nice and friendly staff! Good bar downstairs. Great experience! Close to restaurants, supermarket and laundry too. Security codes to acess room and doors, really safe!

Very good location, breakfast and stuff (they speak 2 or 3 languages)

I didnt like that there was no bathroom in the room we stayed at especially because there was about 15 people in the room, but there were showers. It didnt make sense to me.

Great place! Friendly, helpful and fun. Would definitely stay again. Close walk to the underground and easy walk to big Ben and London eye. I like the pub atmosphere.

The bathrooms were not really clean and sometimes i was unable to use them because of this. Also the bedclothes were not so clean. The rest, was really good, the attention ,the food and the ubication are really good, I really liked that you're 5 minutes walking from big ben

The Walrus Hostel is the perfect place to meet new friends and has an amazing and warm staff pleased to help you. You can use the Pub downstairs to eat if the kitchen is full and the location is perfect. I will be back again for sure.

Great place to stay. The crew is fantastic, I felt at home the whole time. Walrus rocks!!!

Great staff and a WONDERFUL location. Many bathrooms with nice showers. Thank you!

I really enjoyed my stay here. The breakfast was very good and the staff was so nice. The beds were a little squeaky and the train was right by, but it was a great location. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed in a room with 18 mixed beds and while it was full at times with many people moving in and out, I did not worry about personal safety or belongings. The room lacked adequate lighting, which made it difficult to pack properly, but it was great to have a shower and sink in suite. The kitchen is a bit small and is sometimes crowded, but it serves your needs. It was the best place to meet other travelers and staff. The staff and general atmosphere of the hostel was what made my experience.

the bed sheets r dirty n the shower doesnt hv any hot water
