Good staff (always ready for a pool in the middle of the night to catch your bad dreams), Good beds (large enough to get a free massage by an bulgarian soldier), Cool garden (with tv and music), A lot of computer ( wich are all working very well), A very convivial kitchen to cook in group, Annonce for girls: carefull...

It was a very good experience, for me and my daughter of eleven years old. it's really clean! there was a man who broke all stuffs from toilets and shower and they replace it immediatly; the kitchen has a very good equipment. we didn't see any rats and if it really happens, it's city life; they couldn't check all pipes...

If your a young, female, solo traveller, AVOID this hostel! The hostel is more like a giant share house for long term guests. I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm that looked more like someones bedroom than a hostel. The 3 other girls had been there for weeks and had taken over every shelf/table space with their belongings.Felt very... More

I would like to recommend this hostel for everyone. I stayed here few weeks and enjoyed that time. Staff is really friendly, always helpful. The kitchen equipped very well. Rooms cleaned daily, with heating. Hot water at bathrooms. You can meet here friendly people from all over the world. The cheapest hostel I found in London.

This place is an absolute dump, and a fire trap besides. It's very dirty and generally uncomfortable. The worst place I've ever stayed at. I only stayed here out of desperation. Having arrived in London on a Friday night without a prior booking for lodgings I found every other place full. I arrived exhausted and had to lug my suitcase... More

What can I say .... I'm glad I'm out of there. Have been to many other hostels in London. But this was the worst hostel I've ever seen. Bathroom was dirty and disgusting. The window broke. It dripped through the ceiling. The staff was friendly. But that was all. Never never again: (

Number 8 is one of those hostels that has an appeal you can't quite explain.I ended up there because it's ridiculously cheap and it's near lots of public transport. From the start you are on to a good thing. On the surface it's just a another hostel, there's a pub at the bottom, its big and dark, the wooden stairs... More

Stay at this hostel anytime I am in London. Great staff and lots of fun times. Always finding ways to upgrade everything. I keep coming back just to see what they've done.Most of the things people complain about are caused by guests who don't clean up after themselves just like in most hostels. Love you guys.
