Set in the Deptford district of London, The Birds Nest Guest House features rooms with free WiFi. Around 1.6 km from Greenwich, the property is also close to Greenwich Park. Guests can have a cocktail at the bar.

The staff really are suberb and the people in the hostel in general were very nice and respectful. It seems most people are there for a more permanent stay, which does mean there is a lot of stuff and baggage, so the rooms are cramped, however, everyone is trying to be quiete the whole day as people are sleeping, definitely not a place to have a room banger. Also the facilities were cleaner than in most hostels I’ve been to, also probably because the people living there take care of their surroundings even though some stuff were not in best shape.

Featuring free WiFi and a sun terrace, Hootananny Hostel offers accommodation in London, 1.1 km from Brixton Academy. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar.

Hootananny is based on a traditional backbackers hostel, providing shared dormitory accomodation and shared facilities including a 24 hour kitchen and lounge.

Loved they had a full kitchen available 24/7 this is amazing for a hostel. Loved they had a living room with a TV where you could watch films or mingle with guests.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    For a low budget (staff less)hotel, the procedure for getting the keys was relatively easy and smooth. Keys were provided right at the location, good! (that s not always the case with other staff-less hotels.) The (pre)Check-in procedure had to take a bit of correspondance but was all in all ok.

    Great little family run hotel. Friendly staff, very welcoming. Beautiful building and gardens to the rear. Great location a few mins walk to Beckenham Junction station and the high street where there are lots of lovely cafes and restaurants. As a female travelling alone, I always feel safe and comfortable here.

    Great location made it easy to get around London while still being in a quieter area. Rooms were clean and well appointed. Staff were professional and friendly. Great value for money, especially as I booked quite late and for an extended stay.

    Great location on Beckenham high street near bars, restaurants and the train station. Very simple check in process with key safe. Host was easy to contact and helpful. A good no frills stay, would recommend if looking for self catering accommodation in this area.
