Property Description

The hostel is housed in a historic building in beautiful Angel (borough of Islington).

Our goal is to create a space for travellers to explore the exciting fast paced life of London, and, at the same time, have a safe environment to relax and recharge, meet likeminded people and share unique experiences.

We are just moments from the bars, restaurants and nightlife of Upper Street and Shoreditch, and 150 metres (5 minute walk) from Angel tube station which gets you to all of the best parts of London in minutes.

Angel is a vibrant part of London. On the edge of the City centre, and yet still a traditional local community.
Islington has been the home to reformists for centuries, so behind that elegant facade lies the beating heart of change. Islington is home to many local attractions that will let you see a different side of London than the normal tourist haunts.

You can enjoy free unlimited high speed WiFi in all areas, a massive fully equipped kitchen for you to cook (we know how expensive London is to eat out), and a chill-out lounge to while away the hours and make new friends.

We don't have a bar on site, so you can either sample the many local pubs or bring your own drinks back. We host lots of fun events, movie nights, games evenings and delicious dinners which all can enjoy - to name a few.

There's free tea and coffee all day, a free computer, TV, board games, book exchange, hairdryers, travel advice, and more for you to enjoy.
Feel safe at Prime Angel with 24 hour security and CCTV. We have lockers (bring your own padlock) and luggage storage on the day of arrival and departure.

Also, please note that since the building is almost 200 years old there is no elevator (free work out).

Prime Backpackers Policies & Conditions:

Strictly no Hen or Stag parties, or group bookings for more than 8 people.
If we suspect that you are a Hen or Stag party when you arrive then we reserve the right to cancel your booking and not refund any monies paid.
Same goes for groups bigger than 8 that come in two (or more) separate reservations but actually are one group (we really don't want to do that).

Cancellation policy:
Non-refundable rate = we charge the full amount immediately and do not refund in case of a cancellation.

Standard rate = we charge the first nights stay when you make the booking and this is non-refundable. You can cancel for free anytime prior to 7 days before check-in, otherwise the full rate is charged.

We may offer to postpone your stay to another date, if the cancellation is outside of your control. However, this is decided by our Hostel Manager. The deposit paid to Hostelworld is paid to them, and can only be recovered through them.

If you do not arrive, or cancel outside of the stated cancellation period, we will charge for the whole of your stay irrespective of the deposit you paid.

Once you have arrived no refunds are payable.

Payment upon arrival by credit cards and/or debit cards. We do not accept cash payments.
This property may pre-authorise your card before arrival.

Non-refundable reservations may be charged in full at any point after the reservation has been made. (Please have the credit card you used for the reservation at check in).

Very great!! This was my first time staying in a hostel and it’s was so amazing. I slept well, staff was nice, the bathroom and shower area were clean and well kept and most importantly I felt safe as a solo female traveler!

Great if you want to make friends. The vibe is really easy and everyone is very sociable. I would say the kitchen is the highlight of the hostel. As for the facility the rooms and bathrooms are pretty dirty, beds included. If you want to secure your luggage you have to buy locks which start from £7 and they rent you towels for £4. Basically no services included

Pretty good place to stay for a few nights, longer maybe no. Staff is great but the hostel needs some fixing. The room I stayd in had some ventilation problems I assume because we were not allowed to close the windows. You could hear the street noice because of this. Also the door to the dorm room didn't close properly so it was unlocked most of the time which is a bit unsafe.
