Hostel was fine, clean (make your own bed), shower ok. I thought I booked an all female dorm but arrived to find I was in a mixed dorm. The fans are noisy and not very powerful so roasting all night. Other stayers need to be reminded that arriving in later than 11pm they need to be quiet. Cannot be banging and clanging opening and closing suitcases as if they have a private room. Would have been convenient to have a washbasin in both the toilet and shower so people aren’t waiting in between using the facilities. It’s cheap and you get what you pay for.

Overall, it’s a great hostel. Quite modern and the best thing is the location because it’s very easy to get public transportation from nearby and is just a few mins walk to Tower Bridge. Earlier, I was a bit worried how will I sleep without AC but the fans helped and it was much better than my expectations. Overall, I wish I was able to connect with a lot of travellers, maybe group walking tours or something like that could’ve helped.

The hostel is in the perfect location of Central London. Makes it easy to get anywhere by transit, walking or taking a bike. The rooms were good and everyone was very respectful. The cafe and bar were great which created a very welcoming place for a solo traveler to meet new people. Will stay again in the future.

Fantastic hostel. Clean facilities, good safes, many amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere. The hangout areas were a special plus. My only critique is that the washing machines should have better instructions, because I accidentally had to pay extra since I didn’t understand them. Besides that, incredible time :-)

The place was nice! Staff are very friendly and can help if needed. The room was small, but the beds are comfy enough. There are lockers in every room that get assigned to your key card and they clean the shower daily (I was in an ensuite, 6-person room). Filling breakfast in the morning and a cafe open downstairs. Bar in the basement is also open late, which is nice. Close to a bunch of metro and bus stops, easy access to tower and the tower bridge.

The Perfect Stay
This place and its people are an absolute gem. I am a middle-aged female solo traveller who doesn’t want a party hostel vibe in the actual dorm. I booked a bed in a 6-bed female dorm and had a great experience. They have security doors to stop corridor loitering and well-planned room design so there was never anyone waiting for a shower/wc/wash station. Plus big opening balcony windows so ventilation was perfect even on hot nights. The bed was comfy with well thought out features such as blackout privacy curtains, safe, fan, shelf, light and plugs including usb all inside your private space. They have 2-bed bunk beds versus the 3-level beds other London hostels cram in. They had great sized private lockers that work with your room key so no need for an extra lock. The hostel amenities are excellent including a clean new laundry with abundant machines, restaurant for breakfast, café, quiet work space, excellent wifi, towel hire and towel and sheet switch whoever needed, umbrella loan etc. Every detail has been though about. The reception, cafe and cleaning staff were 10/10 wonderful people, helpful and friendly who all went beyond an expected level of service and had great attitudes about everything. The location is unbeatable with several tube stations around, attractions, shops, supermarkets etc This would 100% be my first choice to return to in the future. Thank you Wombats for a perfect stay.

Really central, good facilities and good staff. Definitely located in an area that felt safe to walk around solo. I was on the 6th floor (in summer and an English heatwave) unfortunately the aircon couldn’t keep up with the heat so even as an Aussie it was too hot. Luckily the beds have an inbuilt fan however it was just pushing around hot air. Other than the heat, really really good experience here, I’d definitely recommend.

Great hostel, super clean and layout of the rooms made sense with the shower and toliet slightly removed from the bed area. You make your own bed but that wasn't a big issue. Great hangout space downstairs and ample cooking facilities. They also had rentable lockers to keep your bag securely in. Would stay here again.
