40 College Crescent , Camden, London, NW3 5LB, United Kingdom – Great location - show map – Subway Access

Did a bit of 'remodeling' post pandemic - beds are more solid, sturdier. The new lockers are a very nice touch, feels more safe to leave luggage behind. Everything else was just like before - everything was clean, beds were comfy.

Everything about this place was fantastic. The building has a hogwarts aesthetic, with a clever layout where everything is accessible, but separated enough to be quiet if you'd like. Staff was great, everything was clean.

I have been to London about six times, but this is by far the best hostel I have stayed in so far. I will definitely return. The room had a reasonable size. It was on the second floor and the music of the bar downstairs could not be heard. Which is a plus point as I am a light sleeper. The beds were comfortable and had lights and extra plugs for charging devices. There were also two fans in the room. The common room downstairs was cozy and the whole atmosphere in this beautiful mansion was great. There are various connections around swiss cottage which will take you in all directions within London.

This is like a luxury dormitory at an affordable price in the Center of London. Bus stop and tube station not far. Beds are comfortable and clean. The decor in the building is amazing with a huge lounge and bar. Even if you book a mixed dormitary bed, as a female you have access to the women only bathroom. The cleanliness is rather good (full cleaning at least once a day)

Nice building, cool rooms and comfy beds. Very nice outdoor area. Close to the tube, really nice area.

Marilise

Beautiful building, ideally situated close to metro and buses stations. Curtains around the beds give privacy, which I found really appreciable in a 12-bed room. Plug sockets next to the bed are convenient too. The facilities are great and I felt at home. I slept well and enjoyed my time at the hostel; a good experience overall, and I would definitely come back again.
