I don’t like giving bad reviews but I genuinely want to warn other travelers. Do not come to this hostel - waste of money. Hostel is located in the Lewisham area of which is surrounded by social housing and has dodgy people walking around everywhere. Staff weren’t rude but weren’t that friendly either, room was boiling hot and I noticed two bed bugs on my mattress. Check in is confusing and the public transport is far and extremely limited. You’re way better off paying more and staying central.

Nothing like the photos. After reading so many reviews about bedbugs, I checked my matress and it was filled with stains. The bedroom has very bad lighting and the walls are very thin. I could hear everyone using the toilets. The showers were unclean and very exposed, almost no privacy. Not the best location if you are looking to see the sights. It’s impossible to get your money back at this place, so be sure about it when you book. The staff was the only nice thing about this hostel.

Staff seem to be friendly enough and ordering food is very convenient with Royal Standard/,UberEats (especially with discounts to all hostel guests).There was a strong, musky odor amost the beds, indicating there might be bedbugs which may have to be investigated.

The private room I had booked was clean and I can already tell that I didn’t have any bedbugs. The lighting also was sufficient and I even had a TV and a fan. The hostel really is nosy and there should be signs to tell people that doors have handles which can be used… Also the microwave and the fridge was practical but directly outside my and other people’s bedroom so I could hear people heat their stuff day and night and I could also smell it. Maybe put it some place else.. ?

Stayed for 2 nights in a private room. Room was nice & clean but on the second night saw bed bugs. My room was next to a microwave in the corridor and it constantly smelled awful. There were lots of older men always hanging out by the microwave and I didn’t feel comfortable at all. The bathrooms were a bit rough, but I hardly used them because it meant needing to be in the corridor. Not a great place for young females, but it is cheap + ok location. Took £5 deposit for key, haven’t been refunded
