I stayed during a heat wave and was on the third floor and there weren’t even shades for all of the windows to keep the sun out, so at night time it was so hot and muggy. Just overall not a very nice place to stay. Didn’t find the staff overly friendly either. But it was the cheapest accommodation I could find with short notice for my time, so I guess you get what you pay for. Had some regret I didn’t splash out a bit more and get a nicer hostel as I was very jet-lagged from my flight and needed some good rest. ##### Karissa Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Apr 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really nice hostel in a fun, trendy, and well-connected area. I’ve stayed numerous times and they recognize me from previous visits! I appreciate the staff members which always helped me out when asked. I also really liked that the shower and toilet were in the room itself. ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Mar 21, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness #### Disappointing experience Arrived around 3pm, there weren't any reception staff so we were told to come back later. We had booked a double/twin room and were unlucky it was a twin room. The floor was really duty, there was a previous guest's dirty t shirt and used tissues down the side of the bed, hairs in the shower and no bin. I've stayed here previously and had a very good experience so it's safe to say I'm disappointed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Aude Mar 19, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Decent Welcoming staff. The room I was in was in was big enough, although poorly insulated: we could hear the club downstairs until 1:30 am, squeaking beds... Not very clean place ##### Aude Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Good location Lovely staff, free breakfast and good location. Bit of a party hostel though ##### Verified traveller Stayed -2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Artoise Mar 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Lieu agréable pour une chambre privée. Je ne peux pas donner mon avis sur la vie en dortoir. Malgré un prix élevé pour deux nuits (180€), la chambre était propre, la sdb privée également. Magnifique vue pour ma part. L'établissement est situé au dessus de deux bars bruyants mais ce n'a pas été trop dérangeant. Petit déjeuné à la mode anglaise (pas top mais fait le taf), cuisine plus petite que dans les photos, lieu très exigus et escarpé pour accéder aux chambres (accessibilité à revoir). L'hôtel est très bien desservis et placé à 15 minutes quartier de Shoreditch connu pour son art de rue et ses superbes friperies ! ##### Artoise Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Aude Feb 28, 2022 Liked: Staff & service #### Just ok Good location next to a lively area, but poor sound insulation, not so clean rooms and little to no privacy (no curtains around the beds for instance). The free breakfast was good though ##### Aude Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Alessandro Feb 2, 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities One night a young couple sharing same 4 bed room where one of the two had a 1 bed booking, had sex most of the night, making enough noise which prevented me from sleeping, and next morning I was not feeling comfortable at work, because of that... ##### Alessandro Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### TAN CHEE Jan 21, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities noisy... ##### TAN CHEE Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Aug 21, 2021 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness Except for cleanliness everything else was good ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin Jun 27, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Would stay again. Has a decent size common room and they have a free breakfast in the morning which is always a good bonus wen you are trying to save some money. Wifi worked great, bed was clean and comfy, storage under the beds where a decent size for a small backpack or gymbag, early 10am checkout but you can't have everything. 2 lots of security doors (staircase to rooms and your room itself) so the place is safe enough, area around hostel seemed safe enough too. Would recommend it if you are passing by and need a place to crash. ##### Colin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SuzyQ, LA May 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great place to socialise with other travels. Bathroom /Shower were convenient. Room is small but I only stayed there at nite. Great kitchen.

Pros: - great location in Shoreditch for pubs and restaurants - near Hoxton Station - my (private) room was v quiet so I got a good night's sleep - free earplugs - free bottled water and towels in the private rooms Cons: - dirty, scruffy and run-down - no heating or hot water in the morning (and no apology) - male receptionist hit on me while I was checking in, really not what I want, especially as a solo female traveller - dodgy area to leave your car in overnight (mine was broken into) Overall, I wouldn't stay here again as there are better hostels in London for the same money or less, e.g. Palmer's Lodge or YHA, that are well-connected to Shoreditch by tube. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### DANIELA Mar 14, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice experience in shoreditch!! Esperienza positiva: l'ostello è raggiungibile a piedi dalla fermata dei pullman per l'aeroporto (Liverpool street), il quartiere è multietnico... pieno di localini dove cenare spendendo il giusto (ottimi i posticini per mangiare thai), stanza piccolina ma pulita e confortevole con bollitore, caffè e tea a disposizione...bagni in comune puliti...colazione da ostello...non eccezionale ma più che accettabile!! Personale gentile...prezzi non economici ma siamo a Londra...lo consiglierei!!! Unica pecca: non aver trovato aperto il pub interno all'ostello... speriamo rimedino presto ;-)!! ##### DANIELA Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### eliane Mar 13, 2019 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort L'auberge était située dans un quartier qui m'intéressait. L'ambiance était sympa et la musique excellente. Cependant, des allées et venues d'une personne clandestine à l'hôtel a eu lieu avec occupation d'un lit squatté lorsqu'il était libre, pour y faire des passes ; c'était dans mon dortoir. Cette personne était sans doute en grande difficulté, mais je pense que l'hôtel n'est pas un refuge pour personne à la dérive. ##### eliane Stayed 12 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 6, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Rigtig gode og venlige personaler, Ikke meget plads på sovesalen, men ellers i rimelig stand. Altid mange forskellige rejsende og hyggeligt lille fælleskøkken. Husk en hængelås til bagageburet og 110v adapter. De kan ellers købes i receptionen. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 5, 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Bedsheets were clean, floors were dirty.

I know these features don’t belong to hostel but at least you can warn your customers ##### Mustafa Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ebba Jan 2, 2019 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness #### okay the bathroom area was quite horrible, okay otherwise. would recommend the shoreditch neighbourhood, very interesting ##### Ebba Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marek Dec 18, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pozitivny dojem Hostel sa nachadza v blizkosti stanice Liverpool street z ktorej su priame spojenia na vsetky letiska v Londyne a taktiez v blizkosti centra. Na tento hostel nemam ziadne negativne hodnotenie. Spolocne zariadenia ako kuchyna, toalety a sprchy boli ciste a v 100% stave. Personal je velmi priatelsky a ochotny pomoct vyriesit kazdy problem. Izby su male ale na pohodlne prespatie postacujuce. Pocas celeho pobytu som nezaznamenal ziadne otravovanie a hluk zo strany spolubyvajucich. Ranajky boli postacujuce a typicke pre anglicku kuchynu. Tento hostel odporucam nenarocnym cestovatelom ktori hladaju lacne ubytovanie v blizkosti centra. ##### Marek Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 12, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cheap and good Great place, with Good and helpful straff. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew Oct 10, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Don’t forget your photo ID Unfriendly girl at reception wouldn’t check me in without photo ID even though I had my booking details and GB residents don’t need to.

El resto es un horror..! Está SUPER-SUCIO..Las habitaciones no las limpian, solo cambian las sabanas y ya! En mi habitacion femenina habia una manta de polvo y el baño lo manteniamos limpio. Los baños comunes enseguida se ensuciaban. Muy mal de verdad. ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Kensington.h26612.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity London Dalston](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Kingsland-Locke.h57227439.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis London Earls Court](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Ibis-London-Earls-Court.h14264.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza London Heathrow T4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-London-Heathrow-T4.h22334825.Hotel-Information) > > [London Heathrow Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-London-Heathrow-Marriott-Hotel.h438504.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Ibis-London-Heathrow-Airport.h16754.Hotel-Information) > > [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information) > > [Danubius Hotel Regents Park](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Danubius-Hotel-Regents-Park.h26085.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-London-Heathrow-Airport.h1716953.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibis budget London Heathrow Central](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-London-Heathrow-Central.h72386009.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stratford, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Stratford-Hotel-London.h31325464.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Renaissance-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h9944.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Leonardo-London-Heathrow-Airport.h570358.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London City](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Arbor-City-Hotel.h201127.Hotel-Information) > > [Tribe London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Tribe-London-Canary-Wharf.h83096424.Hotel-Information) > > [MOXY London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-MOXY-London-Heathrow-Airport.h20463397.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London Heathrow - Bath Road by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Heathrow-Bath-Road.h25727547.Hotel-Information) > > [Thistle London Heathrow Terminal 5](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Thistle-London-Heathrow-T5.h882761.Hotel-Information) > > [Mama Shelter London - Shoreditch](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Mama-Shelter-London-Shoreditch.h1886693.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London - Docklands Riverside](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Docklands-Riverside.h2456.Hotel-Information) > > [Stamford Bridge Hotel London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Stamford-Bridge-Hotel.h65802.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express London Heathrow T4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-London-Heathrow-T4.h22336089.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place London City East](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-London-City-East.h60903297.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Canary-Wharf.h1457899.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED Hotel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-London-Heathrow.h46218383.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points Flex by Sheraton London Shoreditch East](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-East-London-Hotel.h27372440.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel London West](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Novotel-London-West.h17246.Hotel-Information)
