Het hostel was oké. De kamer was te klein voor het aantal mensen die er sliepen, bedden instabiel en de kamer was mede vanwege het warme weer te benauwd. De foto’s van het hostel matchen niet met hoe de kamers er daadwerkelijk uit zien. In de douche heb je weinig ruimte om je spullen te laten. De plek is centraal wat fijn was. Maar in een grote stad als Londen maakt het niet heel veel uit, alles is uiteindelijk ver uit elkaar. Ik zou het hostel niet aan iemand aanbevelen

Die Lage ist perfekt, man kommt schnell mit Bus oder Tube in alle Ecken der Stadt und das Viertel ist schön grün und ruhig. Mein Zimmer war nach hinten raus, sodass ich nachts das Fenster geöffnet lassen konnte. Leider sind die Betten sehr wacklig und ich bin jede Nacht mehrmals aufgewacht, weil sich die Person über mir bewegt hat.

Review: I am writing this to warn every traveler, especially professionals. My stay was an absolute nightmare due to a total lack of management and basic safety protocols. • Zero Night Staff & Safety Risk: I experienced a health issue during the night and went to the reception for help. The reception was completely abandoned. I called the emergency number and messaged the staff the receptionist was asleep and refused to wake up. I was left stranded in a medical situation with no support. I h...

Overall prime backpackers was good value for money. No frills backpackers - limited facilities but the rooms were clean, had decent showers and bathroom facilities.

I only stayed one night and I found the place well located, fairly clean and peaceful. The kitchen is big, tidy and clean as well, with many facilities. We had free coffee and crepes as it was Sunday. I found a lovely environment overall although there was this old woman in our 9 bed female room under my bed that looked suspicious and smelt antihigenic. I would recommend this place.

Great value for money, helpful staff, convenient location and surprisingly for a hostel environment it’s somewhere that you can get your head down and focus on work if need be. Enough space to chill out and watch a movie or cook yourself a meal and get a homely vibe with other people staying there, with a good mix of ages and locals plus travellers from all over.

First time at a Hostel, TERRIBLE experience. Insane old lady above me literally demonic. All of us young girls in there thought we were gonna get stabbed. The staff had to have known she was not mentally ok to be staying in that hostel let alone with a bunch of young female travelers. This is the most unsafe I have ever felt in my entire life. Also not very clean, no curtains, just not a great experience at all. Bathroom situation not great.

There is something really special/homely abt the hostel in a deep sense, as per the logo: "A Home away from Home." I'd stay at Prime 3d/week in 2024 to be close to Uni, and thereon lived semi-permanently July '25 onwards, until finishing my work. I've seen numerous tourists, creatives/EU/UK/London crowds visit once & be part of the tribe/volunteer/stay long-term/keep returning. Amazing parties too. Something karmic about the builiding+people Top community, facilities & a true London experience.

There were extremely old men in the mixed dorms so felt unsafe as a young female traveller. Got a tonne of bed bug bites and a random rash from the bed. Staff didn't even show me where the bathrooms were when I checked in. Very unsatisfactory!

Staying at Prime Backpackers was really comfortable and nice, people are friendly and it's easy, I think the only thing which I experienced a bit negatively were the showers/bathrooms, there is one room with showers and a toilet right next to it, it's not very hygenic and the facilites are a bit rough, other than that we had a great time!

I visited most best rated-hostels in London and so many others around the world. I have never felt more uncomfortable than here, very old and long term creepy residents made the place feel less safe. Also a couple of arguments/fights between them at the kitchen. Location is great and beds are comfy. Do not recommend.

Poorly managed. The atmosphere was pretty good, security and location were fine, but it was poorly managed. I stayed two nights, and was moved to a different bed the second night without being told. Was woken up in the middle of the night to someone complaining I was in his bed. The staff member that was at reception at the time was not very helpful, and seemed more keen on arguing then solving the problem. A frustrating situation that was out of customer control and should never have happened.

Great hostel! Very homey and all of the volunteers are are friends with each other which makes a really friendly environment! Not the most party hostel, and not super central if that’s what you’re looking for…this is a place to chill out, smoke, and make some friends! The staff is great and always very helpful, Ava was lovely to me and was always around when I needed someone! Would definitely recommend this place! :)
