If you need somewhere to stay close to amenities and easy travel etc- Hostel 63 is fine- if you are a clean freak then stay clear. We are in our 60s- the hotel is run by young foreigners mostly- like their clientele- we found them friendly and very helpful..the toilets were cleaned regularly and okay the beds are knackered, the...

This is the worst hostel I have ever been in. I have travelled India and walked across Spain and frankly this place is a cynical con. I paid £40 for a dirty smelly cell of a room. The staff were surly and rude and clearly could not care less. Whatever you do, find another hostel! More

Okay, this was without doubt the worst experience at a hostel in my life. Extracts from their website: "For £10 a night we guarantee you of a good night's sleep" (No, because they don't really care if anyone parties at their hostel! And the windows are not at all soundproof, so its like sleeping with the window open, even though... More

If you can cope with bed bugs then by all means stay here! I have complained several times to the hostel regarding this and have not even had a reply. Also the free continental breakfast as advertised on their website does not exist. This is probably the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. More

If you clean your room, if you take your sheets to a wash and dry, if you don't need to use the kitchen...nothing is impossible! there is a free internet point, the position is very good, in 5 minutes you are at the station of the metro. You know, if you go to a London hostel you only to sleep...this... More

Even the photographies that you can see in the website it's a fake, the common room is not like the photos ( look the plants of the "common room" carefuly... it's photoshop! :S). Definitly, I...

My husband and I stayed in this hostel for one night in June 09. I booked this hostel based on location as we needed to be at a close by location early morning for a departing tour, When we arrived at the hostel they informed us that we would actually be staying at another location nearby.

I spent 2 nights there, on a solo trip. I'm 35, male. Pretty "accomodating" and not pretentious at all. I was initially at a nearby little hotel with my partner, and having two more days to spend alone in London, just stepped in as it was very convenient. Thumbs UP: Price: cheap, 12pounds/nite. Location: very good, 5 min walking distance... More
