I thought the Location is superb and the staff were very friendly and understanding of requests for Bottom or Middle bunk and extra pillows and duvets. They were also very keen to make you feel at home and welcome. The checking in process is smooth and quick. The 9 bed room is very spacious and very importantly room to leave your bags and hooks to hang your jackets and trousers and shirt. The showering facilities are excellent, especcially on the 3rd floor which is the best combined showering/ toilet ensuite facilities of any hostel I have stayed in. You can also cook your own food in a very advanced and comprehensive Kitchen with oven and Electric cookers. There is also a wonderful TV/ Plasma screen with Terrestrial Freeview Channels and Netflix TV Series and Films to watch in the basement floor. A really great hostel. I would definitely strongly recommend staying for a few nights or week or even longer to anyone reading this blog.

Nothing to think of.

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel for 3 weeks. The staff is lovely, the beds are comfy, the location is super convenient. The hostel makes sure to organize enough activities that encourage you to interact with fellow travellers and the staff. For instance, Family Dinner is when the staff cooks food for anyone who signs up, and the low price of 4 pounds is so worth the DELICIOUS food. There's also Cocktail Night with unbeatable prices and vibes, and Movie Night which is free and a really fun bonding experience. The hostel itself allows for all these activities and more to happen comfortably, there's designated areas for pretty much any mood, from very quiet to very social. And it does, truly, feel like home. This is no minor issue: the temperature and pressure of the water in the showers is ideal. Makes the daunting process of taking a hostel shower significantly easier. The toilets are in great shape too, which admittedly is something I've seen mentioned a lot in past reviews, and it was a big reason for my choice. I'm pleased to report the reviews were right. The staff and volunteers are wonderful enough that they deserved their own paragraph in my review. Helpful and kind, also friendly and very approachable. Funny too, which is always a plus. They have great taste in music which makes the hangout spaces an even better experience. It really does feel like a family, at least it did from my perspective. I'm really gonna miss them.

I had an amazing stay at PrimeBackpacker! From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed and at home. The hostel is clean, comfortable, and full of charm. The numerous activities and the friendly atmosphere made it easy to connect with other travelers and create unforgettable memories. Whether you're staying for a short visit or a longer trip, I wholeheartedly recommend PrimeBackpacker to anyone looking for a welcoming and high-quality place to stay. A huge thank you to Bruno, Isobel, Robert, and Andy for your kindness, warmth, and exceptional hospitality! Ava :)

Stayed there already 3 times, I would say it`s a very good hostel where you can keep your privacy. Ladies in female dormitory are always nice no matter where they`re from, it`s always very quite in the nights and you can hear birds singing. Still not enough toilets but the situation is much better than in February, all toilets were fixed. I`m a big fan of Islington and Barbican, there`re always a place for a nice evening walk before going to bed

the lach of freezers isn`t good :( and my one of my sockets was broken (room Leicester sq left 1 bed if you faced to the window)

It was clean and the staff were nice. A good working area and a clean kitchen as well.

There was a drunk man at the hotel when I was there although the situation was handled well. There was one male staff member that wasn’t so nice but the rest were and I feel that is not a reflection on the staff as a whole and maybe just on him.

The location was great and made it easy to get where I need to with either the Tube or buses. The staff were very friendly and the bed was comfortable. There were plenty of activities to do with the hostel, some for free and some for a small fee.

You do have to strip the linens yourself when you leave, which isn't a big problem, until you see how stained the mattresses are and realize that's what you've been sleeping on; there was no direct problem with the mattress, like I said, it was very comfortable, however, putting a mattress cover over them wouldn't be too hard and could potentially help eliminate some of the stain problems. The bathrooms, while having plenty of toilets, often had wet and slippery floors due to the showers, so make sure to bring shoes for the bathroom!

I genuinely liked this hostel it generally had great facilities, including a communal kitchen where I was able to socialize with other people and enjoy cooking food. I thought the location was great, too, as it was right in the heart of Angel in Islington, which made a great place to stay. Staff were genuinely very supportive and approachable at reception, too, which I found helpful and were able to assist with any queries, which made my stay settled and happy. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would happily stay again at this hostel again.

A couple of the bathrooms were not working, but apart from that, everything was generally great and had a great stay.

The staff at this hostel were amazing and got so personal with you it was like you were their mates. Shoutout to Jodany! Really enjoyed the family dinner they offered every few nights, was able to easily meet new people. The kitchen facilities were so handy as London can be pricey, was able to store my own groceries with no issue. Beds were comfortable enough and the bathrooms were cleaned regularly. Location was good, bus stops just outside and Angel station was around the corner, so getting to central London was super easy. Stayed at this hostel for less than a week and it really started to feel like home!

Prime Backpackers Angel is definitely the place I'll return to every time I'm in London! This is my second stay here and I’m still impressed. The place offers the perfect balance of peace and sociability: quiet areas to relax, while also providing fun activities to meet other travelers. The atmosphere is incredibly family-like, making you feel at home right away. The staff is exceptionally welcoming and caring. (Thanks to all the sweet volunteers <3). Plus, the location is great, with a well-connected and convenient neighborhood for exploring the city. I highly recommend it!

It’s a home from home. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, and you actually end up staying in touch with them. You also end up making friends with some of the fellow hostel stayers, I ended up going for some pre-match beverages with a guy staying at the hostel as we support the same team, and we’ve said that we will stay at the hostel together whenever the team is playing at home so we don’t have to travel back out of London after the game.

There’s nothing I don’t like about this property it is great and I have been staying here on and off whenever I’m in London for nine years.
