Prime Backpackers Angel is situated in a historic building in Islington on London's City Road. Free WiFi is available in all areas.

Prime Backpackers Angel features a communal lounge, a TV room with a 50 inch Smart TV and a large, fully equipped communal kitchen. The property hosts events, movie nights, games evenings and dinners which guests can enjoy. Free tea/coffee making facilities are available all day to guests, and there is a computer, TV, board games, book exchange and travel advice available at Prime Backpackers Angel. Luggage storage is provided on day of arrival and departure. I had a wonderful stay at this hostel for 3 weeks. The staff is lovely, the beds are comfy, the location is super convenient. The hostel makes sure to organize enough activities that encourage you to interact with fellow travellers and the staff. For instance, Family Dinner is when the staff cooks food for anyone who signs up, and the low price of 4 pounds is so worth the DELICIOUS food. There's also Cocktail Night with unbeatable prices and vibes, and Movie Night which is free and a really fun bonding experience. The hostel itself allows for all these activities and more to happen comfortably, there's designated areas for pretty much any mood, from very quiet to very social. And it does, truly, feel like home. This is no minor issue: the temperature and pressure of the water in the showers is ideal. Makes the daunting process of taking a hostel shower significantly easier. The toilets are in great shape too, which admittedly is something I've seen mentioned a lot in past reviews, and it was a big reason for my choice. I'm pleased to report the reviews were right. The staff and volunteers are wonderful enough that they deserved their own paragraph in my review. Helpful and kind, also friendly and very approachable. Funny too, which is always a plus. They have great taste in music which makes the hangout spaces an even better experience. It really does feel like a family, at least it did from my perspective. I'm really gonna miss them.
