Wow!! this was an amazing experience. At first I was little disconcerted by some bad reviews I had seen... The people writing them must have been staying at a different place... Travel Joy Hostel was very affordable. I stayed in a mixed 12 person dorm. Beds were comfy (what you would expect from a hostel). The rooms were small, but... More

I've stayed in a lot of hostels in london and this is one of the best. When I arrived the guy at the desk personally showed me my room AND carried my bag up the stairs! Free tea, coffee, soft drinks all day from the bar. Also best breakfast in london hands down; yoghurt, cereals and even omlettes made in... More

the sleeping facilities are exactly what you expect from a hostel. the showers and bathrooms are clean and plentiful. this hostel does have a few features that stand out. they come equipped with a restaurant and incredibly affordable wifi, but where travel joy is unmatched is its hospitality and friendliness. the staff is welcoming and assisting, and the people that...

When I arrived I was received with a smile and kindness that made it look as if I was just getting back home. All the staff are very helpful and polite, service is fast, bathrooms are clean and spacious. The rooms are always clean (even when you share it with ten other people) and who can say no to a...

its a little hard to get to as typical its run by foreigners that I couldnt understand them the staff had a little knowledge of london i.e. the nearest tube stop (Pimlico) which i had to ask members of public for directions. a overpriced boozer that charges you more then the wetherspoons at victoria rail stn and the rooms themselves...

The breakfast and pub downstairs from the hostel were good, but the actual hostel itself, rooms/bathrooms were not what I thought I should be getting for the price. The room was not totally clean. The bathroom was still being fixed when I checked in. The outlet shorted out my curling iron, so electrical probably hasn't been updated in a while.... More

Took a late flight into London from Pisa, and took a bus down to Victoria Coach Station. From there, my girlfriend and I took a cab down to the hostel (about 10pounds down to night meter rates), only to find ourselves locked out of the building. Tried to access internet but the password didn't work, and couldn't find another free... More

I had to go back to London just for the weekend and returned to this place. Helpful and friendly staff, very well located, the 24 bus is the best, runs every 10 min. Lovely breakfast, free drinks.The restaurant also serves good traditional and Thai food.

Right in front of the 24 bus and a few minutes walk from Pimlico station (Victoria line), this hostel is a great option if you're looking for an affordable place to stay that's still within Zone 1 of London. The staff were friendly and the free soda for all tenants was a pleasant surprise. Furthermore, fresh , made to order,... More
