    It is an excellent place to socialize, additionally it is close to everything, the subway is an 8-minute walk away and the most incredible of all they offer a free vegetarian dinner at night, that saved my days since I didn't have much time to eat, I went out for a night out with the travelers from the hostel and it was incredible. Highly recommended!!

    There is absolutely nothing bad I can tell.

    You really feel like you belong there. Daily activities, dinner together, games and a lot of fun! Plus daily cleaning makes it even more comfortable.

    One of the rooms had a noisy door which I felt bad about for waking up my roommates. Was no problem anymore after changing rooms.

    The staff and the people. Very lovely and welcoming! Also I liked having activities; as a solo traveler that travels spontaneously, this is a great help for planning your trip

    The rooms are only mixed and I struggled to find a space to comfortably change away from all the men in my room (I was the only woman with 4-5 men). The toilets are tiny and there are no toilet covers or hangers, no hangers or shelves in the shower rooms and no way to change in the room, as the guys were always there. Maybe there are more suitable spaces for that, but I haven't found them (only 1 night stay). But also shouldn't be that difficult to install a shelf of a hook in the bathroom.

    The location of this hostel is fabulous. Right by Westminster, so well connected. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the beds are super comfortable.

    I had a great stay at Onefam Waterloo Hostel! When I first walked in, my name was on a welcome board and Jo at the front desk was super friendly and helpful. They offered to put my bags in storage before check-in so I could go into the city without lugging them around. The rooms were nice and had a storage locker in them. Everyone that stayed and worked at the hostel were so friendly and respectful to each other. The hostel also offered free dinner, guided day activities, and a group to go out at night with! It was very clean, very fun, and had a certain sense of community about it. I would recommend Onefam Waterloo to anyone visiting London!

    !!! Never go to this Hostel !!! Have you ever ventured into the realm of hostels? Have you ever shared a space with eight strangers, each harboring a tale waiting to be unveiled? Have you ever gathered around a table with fifty souls from every corner of the globe, united by the simple joy of companionship? Have you ever danced into the wee hours with twenty newfound friends, etching memories to last a lifetime? No? Neither had I. As you step through the threshold, you're not just greeted by walls and beds, but by William, a charismatic Brazilian ready to infuse your stay with unforgettable moments. Come morning, behind the reception desk, you won't find just a receptionist, but a radiant smile, eager to ensure your day starts on the perfect note. And then there's Ollie, your guide to the best museums and the vibrant cultural scene, always ready to engage in enriching conversations and provide insights into the city's history and art. Dan will be like your Welsh brother, ensuring each moment is extraordinary. With his warm smile and attentive eye, he orchestrates seamless adventures. Passionate about hospitality, he's committed to your satisfaction, making him indispensable. Meet Bert & Olivia, a duo with stories aplenty, ready to regale you with tales that will make your nights as vibrant as London. With Bert's infectious enthusiasm and Olivia's charming wit, they'll ensure your nights are as lively and unforgettable as the city's bustling streets. Meet Thomas, Bobby, Meg, Squid, Jo, Julian, Ryan,… the eclectic ensemble that completes this vibrant team. So, if you've ever entertained the thought of staying in this hostel, heed this warning: it's not merely a place to lay your head, but a portal to a world of unforgettable encounters and lasting connections. Dive in, and who knows? You might just find yourself falling in love with a city, a stranger, or even a part of yourself you thought lost as a child.

    Beds are not so comfortable but it’s okay. If the shower has hot water it doesn’t have pressure, and if it has pressure it doesn’t have hot water. It takes long to taking a shower

    This was a great experience as a first time solo traveller. Staff is great people is great I love it and want to come again soon. It’s feel good to be a part of the Fam.

    Sometimes the staff did seem to force a bit of a happy mood, but I can understand due to the late shifts some had to do and what they sometimes had to put up with. (I apologize for my checkout antics lol)

    All of the staff did an absolutely brilliant job at maintaining an upbeat and friendly culture. Planned activities were always fun to go to. The beds were very nice.
