Flávio 8.0

The Hostel was well organized. The rooms and bathrooms were cleaned everyday. There is a small breakfast available. There was a train station very near to the Hostel, but using ear plugs was okay. The staff were also polite and kind. The location was fantastic, near to a underground station and located next to some of the main touristic attractions and the zone was safe.

Eve 9.0

Great location. Close to underground with options and very close to Westminster. Free breakfast simple but good. Shower pressure good. Locker in room. Noise from trains was fine. I was expecting worse. Earplugs provided

Aygül 9.0

Stayed in 26 beds mixed room and I must say that I was very comfortable with everything. There's a great privacy of yours thanks to curtains around your bed. Every bed has its own curtains and charging point with and adaptable light. The lamps were also designed for each bed to enjoy light if fancied. Before coming here I had to rebook my reservation and they helped me immediately. I am happy the way they communicaye and help to customers/guests. 1 star is missing due to pillow quality and the room to be hot due to no AC. Yet I have seen AC is not popular in England. Only fans. I was by the windows on each side of my bed so I was lucky to have fresh air. Wifi was awful yet the reception was good. I stayed only 1 day. If I would stay more, I would definitely need them to solve the wifi issue. Waterloo is very active and crowded. Lots of bars and markets. I had no prob with train noise as it seems very rare during the night. If you are coming from a very quiet place, you can not be happy here. Breakfast is a bonus and it's for free. Water is also free at the bar. The staff and Mr. İmran was very kind and helpful. Thanks for everything.
