The mattresses were incredibly uncomfortable and lumpy! Breakfast was really good though and it was nice having a chil area to sit and relax.

I found this hostel to be the very best hostel I have ever stayed in. Travel Joy Wimbledon is so professional ie their staff/service. I highly recommend this hostel for anyone - it is a must visit!!! Well done Travel Joy Team and thanks for everything....

This was the absolute WORST hostel I have ever stayed in. I couldn't leave soon enough. It's in a terrible location that seems kind of sketchy at night, and the hostel itself is in an old office building- no character whatsover. The inside of the hostel smells and just seems unwelcoming. I was really sketched out by the fact that some other guests seemed to be living at the hostel long term. The mattress in my room was FILTHY and there weren't enough toilets. You couldn't pay me to stay here.

The staff were rude and unfriendly. The kitchen was filthy and it was very noisy at night time. Overall I did not enjoy my experience there.

Can get very loud at times (had large groups in while I was there)

fairly average. locality was fine. the rooms were a bit cramped. and a lot of coming and going which made sleep fairly disrupted. this certainly is a 'youth' hostel. so if you are kee nfor something quieter keep looking.

Our experience at Travel Joy Wimbledon Hostel was at a stretch sub-par. The facilities were far from clean, and the customer service was at best mediocre. Although I was travelling with three other friends, we were all placed in separate rooms, despite making the booking together. Our experience at Travel Joy Wimbledon hostel could certainly have been worse, though I would NOT under any circumstances recommend this hostel to any travellers.

The "Goods" really could be Excellents, I've just never stayed at many other hostels before and don't have much to compare to. I really enjoyed my stay, though. The staff were quite friendly and the atmosphere of the place was great. It reminded me greatly of Random dorm at MIT. A bit hard to find and quite far out, but overall the location was decent enough--not too far from the metro station and plenty of shops and such in the area.

Very clean, friendly staff, safe and secure. Nice warm showers and a really strong wifi connection. I love the free soft drink, lollies and the omelettes for breakfast!

I was really pleased with Travel Joy Hostels Wimbledon. The place was clean, it provided a hot breakfast (omelettes!!! :) ), and the staff were *exceptionally* helpful and friendly. The residents came from a wide variety of backgrounds and life experiences and I enjoyed chatting with them. Excellent value for money. I'd happily stay there again.

The staff was great, but the facilities aren't too terribly nice. Various people slept in one bed by me (at different times), there's only one room for showers, and the place smelled a bit.

Terrible Hostel, didn't seem to bad at first, good common spaces, free drinks and breakfast. However very uncomfortable bed. Lots of regular guests, unorganised staff. I was woken up all night long by other guests then staff woke me up at 4am to tell me I was in the wrong bed, even thou I was allocated that bed when I checked in. Stayed one night wish I hadn't!

Very friendly staff, delicious breakfast, plenty of facilities as computer, wi-fi, video game room, and free drinks. I only complain about the bathroom, that was very dirty every time that I used it. Good location, 5 minutes from metro, with pub, and Tesco near, and 24hrs bus.

Do yourself a favour and spend the extra money to stay somewhere else. If all you are looking for is a place to sleep at night and don't care about meeting people or going out then this is the place to go. If you want a fun travelling experience look elsewhere. Don't let the price sway your decision the extra money spent somewhere else will be worth it. Staff was average.

Do not check in there! That's a SARDINE. I DONT KNOW WHO@S THE JEW IN THERE. 6 PER ROOM IS MUCH MORE THAN ENOUGH. DO NOT OVERSIZE IT. FOR THE BENEFIT OF WHOM PLEASE????? Sofiane El yaakoubi

The location is not ideal. Having said that, the staff was incredibly nice and helpfull. The front desk gives youbfree gummys, and a freee to use beverage dispenser (which is awesome! ). Huge screen tv (70" give or take), kitchen and bathrooms which were better than the one i have back home. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing , great for a long term stay in London and travellers looking for calm and relaxation after a long day of touring around.

It was weird to see some people living in the hostel. So the room was never very clean or organized. Also everytime I went to use the toilets or the shower was dirty. The breakfast is fine, but could be more organized. The location is not bad, although is far from the city center. Also was very weird some people sleeping in the common areas, on the floor!
