London Backpackers Youth Hostel

  : This is a nice hostel - definitely geared towards backpackers in their twenties, but well-organised and tidy. And actually hostel-shaped - so many London hostels are in building not made for it, but this one is super well designed - especially the bathroom facilities; it was organised in stations within one room, with sort of zones for toilets showers, sinks and even a makeup counter so that a lot of people could fit at once. A super nice vibe, and great value for money!
  : Much as the bathroom was well-designed to swallow a lot of people, for both floors there was only one per sex, with only three stalls each for showers/toilets. For a hostel that size, that's ridiculous, even if it wasn't as under-dimensioned as it sounds because of how well thought out it was. They also have a rebooking policy that's so complicated, and changes so often that I will never dare to try and come again, which is a pity. (I tried, was rejected, and the person I spoke with admitted to not even fully knowing what the policy was themselves, because it had just changed, yet they seemed upset that I'd made the mistake.)

  : I liked how much the stuff love the place they work for especially Nelly, the hostel maybe is the smallest and less branded one i have ever stayed in but it worth the cheap price for especially for expensive city as London
  : The stuff they try to clean the toilets and the showers as much as they can but I think due few toilets and showers for the whole number in the hostel would be the reason.

  : The staff was super friendly and helpful. The breakfast selection is great and the price very budget-friendly. Mattress was very comfortable. Bathrooms were spotless and everything was well-maintained. The closeness to the train station was super convenient.
  : Unfortunately I was assigned the middle of a triple bunk bed which was very low and the support bars of the bed above mine were quite sharp and I kept hitting them with my head. I would recommend some cushioning because this is quite the safety hazard. The air in my room was also quite stuffy because of poor circulation and smelly because of all the other guests in the room with me. These are certainly only small things but they did make my stay not as pleasant as all the other circumstances and amenities would've made it.

  : Room for meals is very small for the amount of people staying. No place for sitting. The fridge is not accessible during the night!Only 3 showers for all the girls staying is ridiculous
