    WORST hostel in London! Do not stay here. It used to be a pleasant stay, but it is NOT now…read more There was a woman in our dorm last January running around completely nude for three days. The last night I was there she was so drunk she moved from bed to bed on fresh covers only just changed. Those sheets/duvets cost the hostel money to clean, so I reported her moving around to unassigned racks. Instead of being happy I had their back, the front desk put into the notes on MY name that I was a problem and that I had done that! I did not know it until today when I tried to book a stay this July. The Operations Manager told me he could do nothing to remove the wrongful accusations against me. He could rent a private room but not the more affordable dorm bed. The music in the pub is so loud now, it's like St. Christoper's Inn--it's all party and no comfort now. This place has rapidly descended into to a miserable place to rent a dorm bed.

    This hostel is absolutely terrible. Very poorly managed with disrespectful staff. The bathrooms…read morewere absolutely filthy and very far away from the rooms. Additionally there were no working outlets available on the side of the room that we booked. HIGHLY disappointed and would never recommend this location. Dirty, bad experience, and absolutely zero care or effort put into rectifying. ALSO unlike other hostels they charge you a rental fee for storage lockers. INSANITY

But you gotta do what you gotta do when you're solo traveling and on a tight budget. I was originally going to stay at an Airbnb in London, but last-minute decided to book a hostel. Now, I am very glad that I did!! Sohostel was great. The moment I walked through the door, the receptionists were super friendly and even gave me a tour of the building and showed me to my room. Everything is just so colorful and vibrant - Just the design itself makes you feel comfortable and safe there! They had a lovely lounge room, with a giant projector screen, a snack bar and a bunch of people mingling and hanging out. I had a room with two bunk beds and it was TINY. Basically, the only place you can be is in your bed. But I didn't have a problem with that. What I loved was that there were electric outlets for each bunk, top and bottom, with USB's as well (great for international travelers!) As for location, it's in a great spot. Right in Soho and near Piccadilly Circus, many bars around, a park....I could go on. Only about a 20 minute walk to the big attractions. The price is incredibly cheap as well.. I highly recommend Sohostel for your stay in London!!

    This place is unreal! Absolutely incredible! Andres the…read moremanager, Desmond the chef, and Loric with the night staff completely saved my trip. On the verge of having home their kindness and consideration was a serious help in a very difficult time I was facing while abroad. I genuinely believe these men, and this hostel, have your best interest in mind and are there for you regardless the circumstances. I'd like to say thank you to the entire team for the cleanliness, hospitality and overall kindness were amazing a did not go unnoticed. Cheers to the next time

    Girl... Keep looking! Smelly, gross, unsafe and claustrophobic. Definitely violates a fire code of…read moresome sort. If you have ANY standards don't stay here! Would put zero stars if I could. TL;DR at bottom. The photos on this Yelp page gave me war flashbacks to this godawful hostel experience with those prison-like triple bunks. My own personal hell would be staying here for all eternity. Ended up checking out 2 days early. Non refundable of course... but honestly worth it to get out of this sh****le. First off, black mold. Friend and I both got sick being here after only staying for one night (not even... slept for only three hours. Was so gross we wanted to leave ASAP). It's been a week and I still feel feel so, so sick and congested. The place smelled like feet. Not clean. There was a trash bag shoved in the ceiling next to my bed when I got there. Does nobody clean it? Staff was rude. Customers even ruder. Average clientele is a 40 year old man. Really takes the "youth" out of youth hostel. Creepy. Overall very unsafe for a group of college age girls looking for a fun hostel experience. Location is safe but not a fun area tbh. Overpriced. TL;DR: don't stay here. Any positive reviews are from ppl with zero standards. Not a youth hostel if the average clientele are 40yo creepy men. Smells like feet. Friend and I both got sick here (black mold). Checked out and got a hotel and this was non refundable but I didn't care. Not a fun area. Keep looking, don't book here. Trust me on this.

    I was here for five days, and I can honestly say I think i had a pretty good grasp of things around…read morethe hostel. Admittedly, the first night was a shock since this was the very first hostel I've ever been in. And, after a long travel day I just wanted to relax with my own privacy, which is something you don't really get at a hostel. Setting those expectations aside and after a few more nights, it wasn't all that bad at all. I stayed in a 6-bed room (two bunk beds with 3 stacked high). It was nice and clean and each bed had their own curtain for privacy which I really appreciated. The room also had a sink so you can freshen up in the room which I also appreciated. As for my roommates, I really lucked out and had really nice people who were very respectful and nice. There were four toilets in total, all shared by everyone in the section of the basement. They were nice and clean each time I used them. The shower situation was probably what I dreaded the most. Don't get me wrong, it served it's purpose, but personally I limited my time there. In the men's showers, there were 6 stalls, all clean. However, there is no opportunity to set the temperature of the water, so each time I showered I was showering in extremely hot water. You also had to press a button every 15 seconds for the water pour which was a bit odd. The common areas which were on the ground floor were clean. Plenty of tables for whatever you need. I did not get a chance to look at the kitchen area, but it's good to know that it's available to you. The service was alright. Maybe it's me being an American in London and trying to get used to the Londoner culture, but, whatever. All-in-all, I would stay here again if I was staying 2 or 3 nights. Its very close to SoHo and right next to the Picadilly which virtually connects to anywhere you need to go. Definitely would recommend this if you need a place to stay for a short period and on a budget.

Unlike most hostels I've stayed at the sheets are already put on my bed and they were clean. The building is newly renovated and everything is nice and new. They also have pay for internet (1 Pound for 20 minutes) and laundry facility's (4 Pounds for a load) One of the best features that I enjoyed while staying here was the fact that you can buy discount tickets for plays and attractions all throughout London at a discounted rate.

It also is on the Piccadilly line, which is direct to/from London Heathrow Airport with no transfers to other lines. Also a gazillion other transit lines that let you visit most tourist places in London with one transfer or less. I stayed in a five dorm room with bunk beds and it was spacious, with an en suite bathroom, with an extra set of bathrooms in the hallway. Reasonably modern and clean. Each bunk had its own power outlet and small light and ledge, which was really nice, compared to other hostels Front desk reception was polite and efficient. The wifi worked pretty well, though only available on the ground floor bar and restaurant area and the 1st floor, where there is a lounge.

    I really wanted to like this place. It's got a fun party vibe and is absurdly cheap. But my…read moreexperience wasn't great. I shared a 12 person mixed dorm. It was extremely cramped and had no ventilation. In the morning it was smelly and steamy from so many bodies. Since there was so little space there were people's belongings everywhere and the room was so crowded. I have only a few hostel experiences so I'm no expert, but my next hostel was an 18 person mixed room and it was so comfortable and spacious in comparison. They have cool nightly events like karaoke as well as a bar with cheap food downstairs which is great. It is a very young crowd- 18-25 I'd guess and at 34 I felt quite old and out of place though I met and hung out with some cool young folks. The shower situation is also not great. The showers are hot but have a button that needs to be pressed every 30 seconds or so to keep the shower going. Since I have long curly hair and my showers need a little more time for detangling I basically just rinsed and couldn't wash my hair. Overall this place is safe and super cheap. Its conventiely located to Kings Cross and the area is nice. If you are looking for something for a night or two go for it, it's not terrible, but again I was very relieved to have more space and shower at my next hostel.

We also got a free-drink at the bar of the hostel when we checked-in. Overall, the place is clean and close to King's Cross station (directly connected to Heathrow)
