- giant crates instead of lockers - they were hard to manage and made a lot of noise while being pulled out - too little space in the showers/toilets

- great localization (a bus to Stansted airport just around the corner) - I liked the vibe of the place, glad there is a safe space for female travelers, I felt 100% safe all the time - those plush-butterfly-cushions were soo cute 🦋🥰

Location

Staff is wonderful. It was better than a lot of other hostels and it was a warm caring environment. Very clean too.

Stayed in April 2024

Guests who speak out loud and turn the lights on in the middle of the night but, that’s the human incapacity to understand they’re not the center of the world (on both sides, me who sleeps and them who are up)

Everything, good atmosphere and nice team and guests

Very small bathroom and kitchen but grand really

Lovely people, cosy bed with the curtain pulled across. Location great

One toilet per floor means that you will probably have to wait in a queue at some point or go to the other floor

Staff super friendly and helpfull. Matress really confy. Clean in the average. Great location : you can either enjoy the neighborood or easily go to the center.

This not the most clean and tidy place I've been but it's okay it goes with the vibe.

This "hostelle" is really great located just 5 min away from the closest tube, it's a great value for money and a safe place.

We had the room in the basement and you could hear the trains running all night! Also the music from the pub next door was Loud.

Everything was great 👍

Cookware in the kitchen is not very clean. Stovetop doesn’t always work. Slightly far away from the city center.

Lounge is open 24 hours with a lot of sockets! The bed has curtain, sockets, and light (though the light is slightly far away from the head area).

the bathroom wasn't very clean

Every night there would be multiple people turning on the dorm light, 11:30pm, 3am, arriving making a lot of noise whilst some of us were trying to sleep especially from jet lag. Bring earplugs and an eye mask.

The staff were amazing, check in was easy and facilities were great. Easy to get into London by the tube although can be very busy. The beds were comfortable especially after a long flight and jet lag. The hostel also had activities on throughout the week which was really fun.

I stayed in two rooms on the 3rd floor, one with 6 beds and the other with 8. The first room was spacious, but the second felt cramped and darker than expected, more suited for four occupants rather than six. Accessing the storage cage beneath two of the beds was impossible, even with just two people in the room, making it feel overly crowded. Removing one of the bunk beds would alleviate this issue. Navigating the stairs with a heavy suitcase proved incredibly difficult due to their narrowness and the windy layout. While there's a small elevator for lighter items, it's too small for a suitcase. It would be helpful if the bathrooms had adequate storage for toiletries; the slanted plastic shelves above each sink are entirely useless. Better ventilation is needed in the bathroom, as it becomes excessively hot after a shower. On the third floor, there are two bathrooms and two showers in the same room, leading to excessive moisture. One guest left a 12-person room on the first floor due to theft incidents in the bathroom. The bathrooms also require better lighting for makeup application, as does room 15.

Beds - Have a nightlight & a little shelf with cages under the bed & privacy curtains Bathrooms - no shelf space at sinks but very hot & cold water. Needs a wedge for the door for better airflow Showers - Shelf space, good enough water pressure & hot water Overall - Very clean & the ladies that work there are so happy & accommodating (you can tell they care!!) It feels like it's in a bit of a poorer section of London but I never felt unsafe walking back after the tube at night. A two-minute walk from the tube station, a straight line, right after Shakespeare Bar & before the clock. Grocery store a few buildings over, or a cute breakfast place a block and a half away called Astro.

I had an excellent week, thank you to the whole team for being so welcoming and attentive. The activities we offered were fun and it was a good time for me to meet new people. The atmosphere was great, plus the location is close to the center. I really recommend it !!

A small maintenance could be made - some shelves repairs at bathrooms. Put some additional toilet paper at toilets when the main one runs out :)

Wonderful, pleasant and helpful staff, friendly atmosphere. Guests are from all age categories and it was always easy to start a small talk with them. :) USB charging stations everywhere. Very good WiFi. Useful kitchen. Really close to underground station (about 3 mins by foot). Lot of small shops close by (pharmacy, Tesco Express, Post Office, some fast foods, even Starbucks).

I didn't have breakfast so I can't comment on that. The air in the room was quite stuffy (16 bed room so not entirely unexpected), even with some sort of aircon/fan going full blast, but the air wasn't as stuffy at the top of the bunkbed which was a relief. I liked the sound of the fan, as it masked any other sleep sounds. I wouldn't say that it is the best location, and there were some people just standing about at night and during the day, but nothing happened to actually risk my safety, I just wouldn't walk around by myself at night if I can help it. However, I did book in at 2 am so I wouldn't advise walking around at that time anywhere in general. It is close to the tube which is great location wise.

I didn't have breakfast so I can't comment on that. I liked the curtain enclosing my bed because it gives privacy and made me feel safe and secure. The sheets where white, soft and clean and the mattress was very comfortable (I have back issues so this was really appreciated). I'm quite reactive to bug bites and can safely say that there weren't any bedbugs or other pests which was great! There was a charging point and little shelf at the end of the bed making it easy to charge my phone without worrying about someone being tempted to take it. There is a cage/drawer thing under the bed which I didn't use but which could be useful to lock one's things in.

Beds were comfy, slept well, lovely hot showers, nice mix of ages, places to work and eat from, and having a drawer locker for stuff was grand

It didn’t feel that clean. The toilets had a strange smell. It feels quite tired and run down.

Staff and atmosphere of being in an all women’s hostel.

I really want to thank Chanelle who is the angel for Histelle, due to my work reason, I am quite often stay at different histels around the country try . She is the best among all of staff not only for hostelle also the best for all staff I have seen , her interperson skills and handling the complicated matter with the customers , showing her quality and professuonal work ethics and attitudes. Not sure she is the manager of Hostelle or not, but I have to say that it is lucky for hostelle to have her at the front desk.

the cleanliness, toilets regularly running out of toilet paper, flooded bathrooms. And I couldn't get into the locker in my room because someone positioned the beds in such a way it was impossible to access it.

Location, the common room downstairs, 24/7 reception, helpful staff, women-only hostel, nice decor, reasonably good coffee.

I'll keep coming over and over again because of my business work, staff is great , facilities are clean and atmosphere is excellent, I'll keep coming back as long as I needed!

My room number was 3 and it is located in the basement where all toilets and showers are located I couldn't sleep well as it was constant noise either of a boiler, or hairdryer, or toilet flushing.

I liked that atmosphere of a community and it reminded me of the years at the Uni where I had to share my room with other peers)) and the kitchen with the whole floor)) Location is super))
