The staff were lovely! The location (while far out of central London) is easy with the super close tube and Thames link nearby. Never needed to queue for the shower or toilet. Nice little kitchen hanging out area with Olympics on the TV.

The room I was in had no curtains and the windows needed to be open as it was hot but the road noise was loud in the night - not conducive of a good night's sleep. White the bunks had curtains on the side it didn't stop the sun streaming into mine next to the window. I was in an 8 bed room and was the only woman, I know this can't be helped but didn't always feel so nice. It was a room of snoring slightly smelly men. The showers with the curtain to cover your things isn't ideal but it did the job.

The facilities appeared reasonably clean, and I appreciated the storage space under the bed and the privacy curtains. However, the room got very cold overnight, and the lack of a private bathroom was inconvenient. The location wasn’t very central, and the overall atmosphere felt a bit depressing. The property itself is quite outdated and reminded me more of an old school building than a hostel.

The manager came across as rude to both staff and guests, which created a hostile atmosphere from the start. His attitude made it hard to feel welcome. I barely saw him after that, which made things a little easier, but the environment overall still didn’t feel friendly or relaxed.

The location is fabulous. Right across from a tube line that takes you straight into the city as well as other fun places like Camden. They let you leave your luggage if you arrive before check in. The beds are sturdy and comfortable. The staff was so friendly and there were even nights where there was free dinner and they took whoever wanted to go to fun places after the dinner. The cage system for luggage storage works well. You can bring your own lock or buy one when you’re there. There are also extra lockers if you need more storage.

The room did get pretty stuffy, but with 15 people and beds in front of the window that’s going to happen! I work remotely but after 11pm the room with the tables and outlets is closed so I had to do some work quietly in the hall. Neither of these things would stop me from booking again!

Good staff and well maintained

Timing for kitchen area. Of course you can come and go anytime but kitchen area is restricted for specific time only. Overall nice

Nice place for temporary accommodation wich cover all the needs! Staff amazing and helpfull, i really recommend it.

I cannot extend the booking in the same bed numbers room hmm they say not do extends! They say i can extend in other bigger room! Then i refused sorted out my self. I am not a fun of this rooms my one was for 6 people i dont want to imagine the 15 people one or even 21! Only been living in hostel by mistake once at 18 years old and now at 34years old only for few days, although there is a nice feeling kitchen with delicious break fast socialising with people new arriving and goes dayly so can make friends etc

I recently had the pleasure of staying at London Backpackers Hostel and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I felt an incredible sense of warmth and friendliness from all of the staff. What truly made my experience unforgettable was Marit, who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Marit’s warm smile and genuine hospitality stood out from the very first day. Her kindness and positivity truly made this place feel like a home away from home. The hostel itself is cozy, clean, and has a great vibe, making it easy to meet other travelers. If you’re looking for a welcoming atmosphere, London Backpacker Hostel is the spot!

Extremely good price for London and really nice hosts with cute events. Also, it's a good location - next to the subway. You can find a supermarket where you can buy two sandwiches, a snack and a drink for 4£. Bathroom and kitchen were nice.

It's a hostel, so you obviously can expect much from the bedrooms. It was crowded (21 people), and the bed sheets were bad (bring a pillow case at least from home). Therefore, it wasn't very comfy to sleep if you were a light sleeper. However, for the price and location, it was totally worth it.

This was my first time staying at a hostel, and I had such a great experience I think I will do it again. I might even come back here next time I am in London for more than a day. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Security measures taken were great, the vibe and atmosphere was generally calm and friendly. The people who came to the place generally had a friendly aura about them, and I felt safe being there🙂. Moreover, it is in a great location with an underground station less than a 5 mins walk away. There are many convenience stores, supermarkets, and takeaways less than a 10mins walk away. Overall, I had a wonderful stay.

I didn't like the fact that a male member of staff cleaned the ladies bathroom and female only dorms. The wonderful receptionist explained that sometimes they only have male volunteers working, which is understandable.

I only stayed 1 night, but the hostel was really good for this reason. Beds are comfortable, they have curtains that you can pull for it to be darker inside the bed. Bed linen are provided, no need to bring your own. They have a kitchen on first floor if you stay for several days and want to cook your own meals, but as I was there for only 1 night, I didn't use it. They have breakfast every morning for £3, and do free dinners on Wednesdays and Frdays, maybe next time I come back, I will try to book for one of those days, just to see what it is. When it comes to the staff, Nelly is the best!

Could have more showers, but on the other hand, if you time it well, there will always be one avaialble.

Monday movie night, quite entretaning. The bathroom was quite clean even at the end of the day and there was even hair dryer, a straightener and a curler. The place was quite safe. I could leave my things in the room withought any problem.

My bed was close to the door and needed more curtains. Whenever that someone was coming in or out I could get all the light from outside. And the curtain inside the shower is not waterproof, and your towel or clothes might get wet. When you press the button at the beggining the water is quite cold, you need to press several times until it gets warmer.
