Shared accommodation in London

“Excellent spacious clean accommodation. We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment - perfect for our young family and was huge. Would also work well for groups of friends.”

“This is the third time I've been to the Harry Potter tour as its just so good, ove taken my daughter, friends and famiky back there. I dont think the tickets arw that expensive for whatbyou get and yes the shop os ridiculously over priced but yoi dont nees to buy anything and quite frankly if You do you will be spending half an hour of your day in the line waiting to pay so I'd rather buy something anywhere else or these days everywhere else. Its su h an imoresosve place and to be hoenst i notice different things everytime i have been”

“What a marvelous hostel! I had the best time here. It has a great atmosphere with a really friendly group of travelers, and the price is right! Just FYI, this is DEFINITELY a party hostel, and they go very hard here! If you are looking for a chill, relaxing vibe, you are going to want to keep looking. But if you’re looking for some great parties with even better people, Urbany is it!”

“Probably the best hostel in all of London! The location is great, just a 10 minute walk from Tower Bridge and Tower of London, which is also a Circle and District line station, making travel around the city very easy. Check in was simple, and the rooms have pretty comfy bunk beds with assigned lockers to store your things. Everything was clean and tidy, and the staff were very kind should you want to replace your towels or linens or anything. The shower is notably wonderful -- great pressure and temperature. We were lucky enough to get a room with a view out onto this gorgeous church next door! There's fans in each bunk if you're too hot, and radiators if you're too cold. The bar downstairs only opens at 6, but it's a great spot to hang out with lots of mat-covered benches, a pool table, and an L-shaped bar in this cool arched brick space, staffed by super cool and friendly people (shoutout to Cassie here!) and full of friendly fellow patrons who are happy to chat to anyone in the vicinity. Laundry was somewhat expensive at 5 pounds a load for washing, but they provide detergent which was a godsend, and let's be honest, this is London. The cafe near reception has great coffee, and a variety of pastries, as well as a nice little sit-down, bookshelf-laden area to enjoy them. I'd recommend them any day, and will likely be booking back in again in the near future! Thanks so much Wombat!”

“I gave YHA Oxford Street 5 stars because of having a good positive experience overall with my one night stay there. The room was clean, the 2-bed bunk-bed was do-able and there was a nice new metal fan in the room. The window was open and we heard very little of London traffic. It did not matter that the lift did not go all the way up because we were used to stairs. The shower was a delightful surprise because it was a power shower.”

“Great location, very close to the university. The staff is really friendly and helpful! Everything feels modern and comfortable. Rooms can get a bit warm on sunny days, but it's a minor issue in an otherwise very enjoyable stay ♡”

“Great building and maintenance. Always great to book short stay office space. Great friendly staff in reception, always warm and welcoming when I come in. Highly recommend it.”

“I stayed here during my trip from Japan. All the staff were very kind, and it was reassuring that they are available 24 hours. The place was clean and had a bright, welcoming atmosphere. It made for a very comfortable stay. I will definitely stay here again when I visit the UK. Thank you very much.”

“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.”

“This is a really great hostel, especially if you need access to Kings Cross. It was literally a three or four minute walk from there. I booked an all female dorm room and I was the only one there. Everything was great. There was a heater as well and a nice view across the street. Only issue is the shower in the bathroom kind of flooded a bit and it’s pretty cramped. But besides that I really enjoyed the friendliness of the staff and appreciated their cute little café and pizzeria. The lobby is a little bit condensed, but that’s to be expected and a busy high demand area.”

“Lovely quiet place very close to the Lee Valley park. Common kitchen & room was clean and tidy enough. Perfect for your retreat and a break from your busy weekdays. Friendly staffs and service- thanks to the team :)”

“Best for the location, price, suprisingly comfort bedding. They have friendly staff. Shower needs you to purchase shampoo and rent towels- still economical. Breakfast is good, but continental is enough - I bought buffet and felt it a waste.”

“A massive thank you to the staff at YHA! We were having a bit of a nightmare weekend with a hotel cancelling on us, we managed to secure a last minute booking at YHA and the staff were very kind to let us store our bags and get ready in the common area before our event. The wine & pizza in the cafe was great too! The following day after check-out we had another disaster situation, and long story short the receptionists let us use their phone to make a call, use their charger and go back to our room to retrieve a lost item. Without the YHA staff being so accommodating, our stressful weekend would be have 10 times worse! The room itself was clean and everything we needed for one night, good value food, nice communal areas and overall great vibes! Thank you again”

“This is student accommodation that is let to people during summer. The rooms are what you expect in student accommodation and are modern, clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful.”

“One of the cheapest dorm that I've found, initially for 4 nights stay but i extended for almost a week! Why? first, it's affordable & cheap. second, I'm pretty satisfied with the basics provided in the hostel: decent room & toilets, dining area, cooking space and free simple breakfast!! third, staff are pretty kind. fourth, i felt safe & comfortable inside the room! the location is also pretty close to both New Cross Gate train station & Marquis of Granby bus stop, so yea it's pretty accessible with public transport. there's also small park nearby, and few halal places nearby. it looks pretty meh & somewhat eerie from the outside, but yeah overall the inside of the hostel - are all pretty decent. trust me. to girl travellers, do let them know you need a female dorm else you'll get the mixed dorm ? ps: good for budget traveller, price might be differ and bit higher during weekend/festive/holiday. but still considering the price + hv breakfast, i still consider it's affordable. pss: DO NOT EXPECT EXTRAVAGANT STUFF AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, it's a decent place to stay. will definitely come here again if I'll be looking for a pretty decent place in future!”

“I really recommend this hostel. There is a good price and we have an option to stay in female room. Staffs are very friendly, specially Cesar and Fiorella both are very hospitable. Also room and toilet are cleaned every day. Thank you for making my experience much better.”

“Amazing service, even at 2 AM! We arrived in the middle of the night and were still warmly welcomed. Haidar helped us with parking nearby and even solved an issue with our booking — all around 2 AM! Super friendly and helpful staff. We have a fridge and a microwave and kettle in the room! So happy with our stay!”

“My friend and I were really pleased with our overall experience at Restup. The location was good -- there is a bus stop right next to the hostel; the hostel overall, as well as the room we stayed in, was very clean as well. The nightly prices were very reasonable. The service was also excellent. Jordan and Tony were especially kind and helpful. I would definitely come back to stay at Restup again.”

“UK Study Center was personally recommended to me through parents, who used there services before. The team of professionals really made a big effort to help my child to feel confident and open his full potential in subject he never even learned at school and prepare for all necessary exams in a very short period of time. We had an excelente teacher and tailored structured plan of actions. But the most important my child felt confident, happy and really enjoyed the process. Personal Thank you Alex for your help!”

“We just returned from a week safari in South Africa organized by ATR and have nothing but positive reviews! This was our first safari and the ATR team was invaluable in the planning as we reviewed multiple itineraries and made numerous adjustments until we landed on the right combination of stays. The end result was exactly what we envisioned and every detail was covered. We could not have asked for a better experience and while everything went flawlessly, it was great comfort knowing the ATR team was only a call away should anything arise.”

“This was my first time ever to take my Joey to a cattery let alone have him be away from his home so I was really anxious about the whole thing. Booking was very easy and straightforward. On the day, I met David who was so nice and answered all my questions and put me at ease. The place itself is incredibly clean and the cats do have plenty of room to move around and stay active. I left joey for 2 weeks and during the 2 weeks whenever I'd ask for an update or pictures , David would straight away send them to me. Joey is now back home and settled in and it's as if he was never away! Thanks David so much for making this a good experience for me and Joey!!”

“Came to Publiq for a dinner with friends. We arrived half hour early and the staff were welcoming and happy to sit us down as there was space available. Staff continued to be attentive throughout us being there. Both food (small plates style) and white wine were delicious. On the food front I would recommend a small plate, a side and a snack as sufficient to feel satisfied. A little on the pricy side, some menu items felt more value for money than others, for example steak for £23 felt good value whilst a burrata salad for £18 not so much. I guess the prices can be expected give the location however, so it doesn’t feel like something to reduce the rating from 5 to 4 star. Nice venue with a private feeling to it. Recommend for a nice dinner when you find yourself in the area.”

“I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Pax Lodge, one of WAGGGS’ World Centres, during a recent business trip to London—and wow, did it exceed my expectations! From the moment I arrived, I could feel the thoughtfulness and warmth that makes this place truly special. Everything at Pax Lodge has a story—from the memorabilia on the walls to the traditions that connect visitors from around the world. The volunteers and staff are some of the loveliest, most knowledgeable people you’ll meet. They go out of their way to make your stay comfortable, engaging, and full of that signature Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting spirit. Beyond just a place to stay, Pax Lodge has a vibe—it’s welcoming, inspiring, and filled with a sense of global sisterhood. Whether you’re visiting for work, travel, or a bit of both, this is a place where you don’t just stay—you experience. Highly recommend!”
