Total lack of functioning guest wifi despite multiple non-guest networks, shower on floor is out of order, line to use toilet and unfortunately one or two guests making a fair amount of late night noise. 24/room so that goes with the odds. Really the Wi-Fi failure is driving the review.

Fantastic staff, solid community. Great location. I didn’t mind the train noise/rumble at all. Points for staff.

the initial arrival was a bit confusing, be code input wasn’t clear in the description. the noise levels were quite high due to the train tracks nearby.

good location, good price

It’s a good place. Good Management. The manager of the property is very nice and kind also very hardworking.

too loud, you can hear the train passing by almost all the time. having a privacy curtain would be good. the door lock machine keeps saying error & needs a new battery.

it’s cheaper than the other one.

The staff is very nice. They treat people very nicely and cooperative.

no mirrors in the room and most bathrooms, mouldy bathroom ceilings, one shower only with boiling hot water (dangerous!), 2 toilets out of order, towels for rent only even though on booking.com it said included

even though it was loud at times because of the trains the location was great, the private room was alright (comfy bed, fresh linen)

the noise, we were nest to the train or underground terminal

the best location in London. Having the pub downstairs was a great idea.

Couldn't think of one thing.

As soon as myself and my brother walked in we were immediately welcomed by Paul. As we had checked in on line he just asked our names and it was as easy as that. We had arrived early so Paul took our bags and stored them for us. Bag free we were able to go get food from the street vendors in the same street. We took a seat outside and had a beer from The Walrus bar, it was reasonably priced and delicious. I would recommend the Hostel and the Greek street food 😋 It is so nice to stay in a place that makes it feel homely. Well done to all the staff at The Walrus, it's run very well. 👏

The rooms were a little loud due to being next to the train station, but the Windows were super noise cancelling if everyone in the dorm was okay to close them.

The breakfast was so nice and easy to wake up to each day to help us start the day! Just £2.50 and you got to eat as much as you like. The location was great too because it was a short walk to the centre of town or there were bus and train options right outside.

Not enough bathrooms; check-out is at 10AM and you have to leave the hostel before. If you want to wait inside or leave a bag for couple of hours, forget it.

Location is great; because of the online check-in, it wasn't a problem that I arrived at night.

There’s only one bathroom per floor, so expect to wait in line for a bit if you want to shower.

The location is absolutely amazing, only a 10 minute walk from Big Ben and the vibe in the hostel is great.

i had a hard time trying to find a shower. the ones on my floor were under construction. the building and hostel alltogether was old. good enought for 1 night.

the staff was amazing bar downstairs

I didn’t stay with friends so I could sleep a little later but unfortunately they decided to work on the toilet cubical next to where I was sleeping with drilling/ hammering through the paper thin wall from 9am.

great location- pretty basic but you get what you pay for to a certain extent. I had a window right over the railway which I actually enjoyed- the trains have to slow as they go in and out of the station so the noise isn’t too bad.

no plugs near the beds. bed were not very comfortable either.

good value for money and the staff were helpful! very good location too with being near to transport.

Stayed in October 2022

Almost everything,the hostal ia in the center of London ,the beds are very comfortable and super clean

The property is amazing. Location is great. Hostel is really clean and beds are very comfortable. i would recommend this hostel to everyone.

The hostel is adjacent to Waterloo train station, which means you will think the trains are inside the room. The noise from trains is absolutely awful. The number of toilets, sinks and showers are way below the needed to attend the amount of people, common are with only 4 seats and small in general, Some beds are next to radatiors (as in the bed actually touches the entire radiator). No cleaning staff to keep it clean as it gets used.

Just a few blocks to Big Ben, London Eye etc..

Everything stayed five minutes and left

The location

Stayed in July 2022

Not to exaggerate, I believe that 5 out of 10 is a realistic rating for this facility. Unfortunately, the big minus is that they stated that breakfast is free, and when we got there they told us that they don't serve breakfast at all. Another thing is that we didn't get towels at all, so we didn't have anything to dry ourselves with after the shower, and "luckily" there was no hot water at all, so we didn't need them.

The room was quite decent, and the beds were very good. The neighborhood is also very good, and a big plus is a proximity to the London Eye, I would say about 10 minute's walk.

I am certain that I booked a room with a private bathroom (my only preference for a trip) but there was only a bathroom shared between 3. The toilet had no sink so you had to wait for the shower room to wash your hands. There was no hot water in the shower. I tried calling downstairs but the number listed was disconnected (!?). I emailed but never got a response. The room makes it seem like it’s going to be a nice place, I 100% feel misled.

My room was nice, well decorated

Very good

Not sure if this piece of information was shared elsewhere, however, the kitchen is only open between 8am-11pm. If you're planning to leave early, factor this in.

The staff who checked me in the bar were exceptional!
