Lock in a great price for The Walrus Bar and Hostel – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

I loved the bar downstairs. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The surrounding area was cool to explore, and it was easy to get transport from the hostel.

OMG First of all, I have to say that I had my first time in a Hostel at the Walrus, and I was travelling alone - so I was really nervious. HOWEVER this place is absolutly amazing! It is not noisy at all, the bedroom's doors have locks and the guests I stayed with were so respectful - the breakfast is healthy and you can eat all you want. You can keep your important stuff in a locker room which is accessed only by the staff. I just loved the whole experience!!! - AH! and the mojitos at the bar are great!! Thank you for your

I forgot the code to the bedroom and nearly got locked out, but that’s more my fault than anyone else’s!
I was in the 22 bed dorm because it was the only bed left, and I’d been worried it would be a totally party hostel and a noisy room (had to leave early the next day). But I slept pretty well - got woken up briefly by the train once and by another guest once, but it was easy to get back to sleep.

The toilets were clean but the showers were a bit gross, and some of the showers don’t get very hot.
The location is perfect! It was my first time in London and staying here made it much easier. It is also a perfect place to meet people. The atmosphere was very social. And the bar downstairs was very busy with locals as well as travelers, it was a great place to hangout and meet people.

The cleanliness and the rooms conditions could be improved. Feels like a bad maintained hospital and the dirt in the bathrooms doesn't get you nearly ok.
It's location is pretty neat - close to all major things in center London - walk-able distance and connected to others by wither train, buses or tube.

The social atmosphere wasn't the best if you are a solo traveler, but the hostel has everything you need. It is also right next to the train tracks so it's pretty noisy all the time. No real complaints other than that. I enjoyed my stay
I loved the bar downstairs. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The surrounding area was cool to explore, and it was easy to get transport from the hostel.
