Lockers were a bit fiddly and curtains would be a great addition to the dorm rooms.

Super social hostel with different day and night activities everyday and free veggie dinner!! It was so fun to get to explore London with a group of other solo travellers. All the staff are amazing, shoutout especially to Jacko for making me feel so welcome and always bringing the vibe!!! Can’t wait to come back some day

The beds need some work, a good pillow and a curtin would go a long way. The showers could also do with some attention. Hot water is fine but the drains are pretty clogged

The staff are all super helpful, Jack and Kate are legendary and make you feel right at home. It’s a special social hotel. With free dinners provided and events planned everyday there is very little you need to worry about. A stress free stay filled with good people.

Showers are super clean but shower heads aren’t great.

The staff are absolutely amazing, so welcoming and helpful. The property was super clean throughout and had great kitchen facilities. It really does feel like a little family - it was an amazing start to my solo travels.

No curtains on beds but that’s it!

The cleanliness, social atmosphere and the staff really made sure you were comfortable, included and welcomed, and were so easy to get along with.

Fantastic! Meeting so many people across the world in such a short time, enjoying the events organised by the crew members(kudos to Asmaa, Brandon, Lucas, Ursina, Connie...)... It was simply amazing. No more words are needed. I would stay again and recommend it to anyone that looks for an experience like this.

That I had to leave

Onefam Waterloo was in a great location to easily navigate around London and see as much as I could in the short time I was there. Liked how everyone was involved and every day/night was such a vibe ! Will definitely be returning at some point.

Nothing, even the annoying shower buttons added to the experience.

Super fun and very social with events on every night

In my many, many years of travelling solo in hostels, I have never been felt more welcome and safe than I did at OneFam. This hostel has everything you could possibly want and need and more. Daily walking tours, going from the royal monuments to the infamous Notting Hill filming locations, free (and delicious) vegetarian dinners daily, clean commodities and a true accessibility from a very respectful and friendly staff. There’s a wristband system in place so the hostel stays safe, and a group chat with daily updates and contacts in case you need to reach anyone. As an introvert, I was a bit scared about the party side of things, but as it turns out, the rooms are well isolated and the parties happen mainly in nearby pubs and bars so if that’s not your scene, don’t let that stop you from staying at OneFam cause you won’t be bothered at all. Commodity wise, there are several bathrooms and showers across the different floors and everything is kept very clean. There are plenty of lockers in the rooms, a common kitchen with everything you need to cook and store your food, and a common living room where you may end up watching movies or playing Mario Kart. There’s also a luggage room available on demand so you can store your bags before your check in or after your check out. All in all, OneFam lives by its name and makes you feel at home no matter where you’re from and I will very happily be back soon! Huge huge thank you to Jack and Made and Ursina and Connie and Chelsea and everyone else I may be forgetting. You made this experience even better than it already was!

7 minute walk from Lambeth North station, this hostel has really nice staff and its clean, although 12 people sleep together in a room they are all really respectful and tidy, had a really good stay. I wish i could stay longer in London to join the fam for parties and city tours

The staff here is amazing. They organize so well, give guests the opportunity to see the city as a group. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, friendly and always ready to help with anything. David and Brandon always made conversation with everyone and made sure no one feels alone.

It was way too hot in the bedroom, and the bed wasn't easy to sleep on for 5 nights.

I love how sociable this hostel is! I loved having the option to be alone and connect when I wanted to. The staff were friendly and the majority of the people staying there were too

It has been the best hostel I have always been, the staff organised a lot of common activity, and free dinner at night to not mention the night out together, perfect place to make new friends!

Nothing! Was perfect

Had an amazing time staying at Onefam Waterloo, the atmosphere, the events, the community, and the staff. Everything was organized and welcoming for a solo traveler to feel very welcomed and feel included. This was more than a hostel, it was a family. The staff were all so friendly too. Brandon, and Chelsea went above and beyond in making me and the others feel right at home while also being professional at their job.

I was looking for a good hostel in London. This hostel is amazing. The people are welcome and the atmosphäre is nice. They also do a lot for entertaining like pub crawl and free walking tours during the day. In the evening they serve often a free dinner. I will absolutely going again 🥰

The people! Super funny place. It’s impossible to be bored with this stuff

I'd prefer dorms with regular bunks or a row of single beds rather than triple bunks but for the amazing price it's not a big deal

Really welcoming vibe and incredible value for money
