Hostels in London

“best service so far got tickets in installments paid with ease and staff is really co-operative.”

“I lived here for 6 months, I have very beautiful memories. I had a beautiful, comfortable and modern studio. I have always felt very safe in this place. The employees are very friendly and helping at all times. When I arrived at night from work I felt very calm that there was always someone at the door watching who by the way were very kind. Everything was always very clean. In my case it had a kitchen and bathroom too, although it has two shared kitchens and two very nice terraces with good views. The area is good, it has supermarkets nearby and small shops around. Also soccer fields and parks. Without a doubt, I'm very grateful!!”

“This is the best hostel I have stayed in London. The place is clean, and the bed is soft and surprising wide. The owner was really kind to me during the reservation. I am glad that I found this place :)”

“Awesome service personnel. Grateful that you let me know the importance of calling the police before you are trying to ask someone for money they borrowed. Something I did and hopefully won’t regret.”

“Quiet hostel with decent rooms. The room I stayed in had a twin bunk bed which was good for me since I was traveling alone. I stayed for one night . The downstairs is a bar in the evening. Overall it was a good hostel with a relaxed vibe.”

“We celebrated my husband's surprise 40th birthday party. All the guests had an amazing night. David and Dana were very friendly and hospitable. Jonny was brilliant too in accommodating our specific request. Would definitely recommend this venue.”

“Had the best experience at this hall. The staff and facilities are amazing. The location is great and I felt right at home. Whenever I had an issue, site staff were extremely useful and attentive! I’d love to especially mention Tunde and Isaac. They always had a smile on their face and provided excellent service. I highly recommend this hall for first year students at ucl”

“Time for an update review! So, Railton House has been recently refurbished and now it's looking better than ever before. Rooms: bright and airy, with cute wall shelving units, proper long and thick curtains, modern wardrobes with doors that don't slam, bedside units and there's even a mini-fridge in every room for all your cold drinks! Facilities: apart from refreshed and repainted toilets and kitchens, most shower rooms were built from scratch and now sport brand new, modern and roomy shower cabins. Common areas: premise has been thoroughly repainted inside, with all carpets replaced. Internet: super fast, secured Internet access (>100Mbit Wi-Fi/1Gbit LAN - Ethernet sockets for each bed for those more demanding) so you can stream, download and upload without limits. What hasn't changed is price-to-value, central location and the professionalism of the staff and management. I've been here for quite some time now and I'm planning to stay for a while longer.”

“It's a nice hostel by LHA (not self catered). The rent paid has 2 complementary meals a day. And it's a very quiet, peaceful and serene environment. The ambiance is the best I've seen having visited 3 other hostels (Halpin House, Belvedere House and Railton House) owned by LHA”

“I had a wonderful experience at Prime Backpackers in London. The facilities are good, the staff is super kind and the volunteers create such an amazing vibe! It is very social and has a lot of social activities, which make a huge difference in solo travelers trips. You will meet a lot of amazing people there! The kitchen is huge and super equipped. The location is safe and close to everything. Highly recommend it!”

“It was a great place to stay, 6-7 min walk from Moorgate Station and just 2 min walk from VFS centre which was my main motive to be in london. They have 24*7 check in and it was convenient. They also have a bar and offers breakfast too at reasonable price. All the facilities were clean and guests were respectful.”

“We had a really good time here as a scholar group. We spent 5 nights here and it was such a lovely time ! Since we were there for a whole week, we had the chance to try much of what the pub has to offer (Breakfast, Burgers, coffee and beers) and it was really really good and with good prices. Regarding the beds, It was also good, while it is for a single person each, the bunk bed was of good quality and we slept really well ! The cost of staying was also not that high. As you may have understood, we deeply appreciated our stay here and we definitely recommend !”

“Luxury accommodation for high society”

“Lots of extras on and around the grounds. I stayed in the hostel (not camping) and it was great. They have a small, but well built kitchen available. Comfortable, sturdy beds, friendly and very helpful staff. They have a small shop available during regular hours with things you may need. Large social area, with comfy seating, next to the kitchen (also dining area). Amazing views and surrounding forest area.”

“It was a very happy stay. The rooms are big and spacious. Everything was clean and organized by the time we arrived. Staff was very helpful and answered all queries Breakfast is good Check in at 2pm checkout by 10:00am Towels provided Lift is present Plus is the gym present Overall amazing amenities for decent price.”

“Very clean and big enough rooms. Friendly stuff. Great location. It was very helpful for me that the stuff was helpful with everything I asked them. Definitely recommend it!!”

“Ramsay Hall is best described by one word: functionality. It's not comfy or flashy, but it serves its purpose. An unbeatable location for UCL students moving to London for the first time. The building is old and certainly has its quirks, but if you run into problems, the staff--Saiful, Sarka, and Ellery among many others--are kind and helpful. To the extent other reviews on here say the staff aren't friendly or helpful, I'd expect that they're coming from pampered students who didn't treat the staff with respect. If you're a UCL student looking for accommodation in your first year, hope for Ramsay. It'll be memorable and you'll be in a top-tier location.”

“I have lived here for three years and I love it. The staff are lovely especially Martin and Oliver who are so helpful and make you feel so welcome. I really enjoy living here.”

“The location is fantastic, ideally situated near the university, making it incredibly convenient for students and visitors alike. The security team is exceptionally helpful and professional, always ready to assist with a friendly demeanor. A special thank you to Sheriff, who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the safety and well-being of both residents and visitors like myself. His dedication to looking out for our best interests truly makes a difference in our experience here.”

“Stayed here for 4 months. Value for money ensuite rooms with your own mini fridge within Zone 1. The team was very friendly and helpful, especially Manuel. Thank you to Friendship House and their team for making my stay so enjoyable. And to LHA for giving me the opportunity to stay here. Would definitely recommend to other students!”

“The rooms are so good and budget friendly. Good accommodation for students. Especially Manager Jacob is very friendly and helpful. House keeper is also very helpful. He maintains the whole rooms with good lenin and toilets are clean and tidy. I love staying in Belvedere House only because of the staff and there maintenance.”

“Lovely local pub in Battersea with really caring staff! :) The live music every Friday is a must—perfect to enjoy with their great draft beers and delicious burgers. Highly recommend for a cozy night out!”

“Excellent place will definitely be coming back Breakfast is on from 8am till 10am Loved the juice”

“I hardly ever leave reviews but as a 22 year old woman, This is my second stay here and this time I was alone. It’s so convenient, a bus away from vauxhall station, the Victoria line. I came far too early after not realizing that check in was at 2pm. I was heading to a festival at 2pm and the receptionist kindly passed the message on to cleaners that my room was priority. He didn’t have to, the cleaners didn’t have to but they did anyway! Will continue to come back here in the future :)”

“I had a great experience living here in my first year after moving out. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help which made settling in much easier. The accommodation itself was well maintained and having a small free gym near the lobby was a huge bonus as it helped me stay active while also saving money on a gym membership. Overall it was a really positive experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.”

“This place is quite central and very close to the Royal Albert Hall. The atmosphere that displays house is amazing.. as you can see there are a lot of historical buildings around. This area is pretty well secured for students or anyone in general. There are a lot of parking spaces to park your vehicle. The streets are pretty clean and well maintained. The closest station is Knightsbridge and it’s within walking distance. Hyde Park Literally two minutes walk. There are a lot of places to eat around this area.”

“I had a very positive experience staying at LSE Bankside in London. The staff were exceptionally friendly and always did their best to assist with any requests, which made the stay feel welcoming. I particularly appreciated the availability of a luggage storage room, provided free of charge for guests. The room itself had everything necessary for a short stay and a comfortable night’s sleep. It was tidy and pleasantly quiet, which I valued after a busy day in the city. The only drawback was that the furniture felt rather dated and could benefit from an upgrade, but this did not take away from the overall comfort of the stay.”

“I stayed here for a week and had breakfast and dinner every day. included the photos the canteen is cleaned but the only thing is that the water fountain was broken so that’s a bit annoying other than that there’s for elevators or more in the building so it is really easy to go”

“The room smelled like lavender — very relaxing.”
