By far the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The beds were larger than I expected, and the comforter was thick and warm. The breakfast was good. The staff were friendly and helpful—particularly Adi. She went out of her way to ask how I was doing, and we had some lovely conversations. If I come back to London, I’ll probably return here.

It was an okay stay. Great price for the location and being in London. The room was terribly small and the soundproofing was dreadful. We shared a floor with a group of students from France, and they spent multiple hours running around and shouting. We sent a complaint to reception, but nothing was really done.

Great value hostel with a great staff!

This is an older hostel but is very functional. We had a room with our own bathroom/shower. The rooms are quite small but if you are spending most of your day out seeing the sights of London, the size of the room really doesn't matter. The staff is amazing and very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for luxury, then this isn't the place for you. If you want a functional hostel with easy access to public transportation at a great value, then Restup London is perfect. We stayed there during two different portions of our vacation and would do so again without hesitation.

Not too bad.

It's a nice hostel. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the room itself was nice and tidy. There weren't any major issues, just no air conditioning that affected my sleep, but not a big deal. Overall, 8/10

I stayed here a week, my first time in a hostel. The reception is always very friendly and helpful. I spent a lot of time in the common areas. I met some really nice people that were also staying there. They have lockers for 5£ per use. The beds were comfortable and clean linens. Very close to food options. I would stay here again.

If you need a bed, this works. It won’t be comfortable, but you will make it to the next day. I was traveling with my friend and as two females, we decided to get a private room with a bunk bed. What we got was very similar to a prison. The room is very very small, and the beds were probably two inches thick if I had to guess. The bathrooms were constantly clogged, even though they would be unclogged earlier in the day (this was a daily occurrence). The surrounding area is not bad at all and all in all, we did feel safe as two young women traveling. Like I said, if you just need a bed (or I guess a cot) this place is perfect for you.

Poor overall - I wouldn't go again

Poor overall. Don't go if steps are a problem, as there is no operational lift. General condition is dingy. Showerhead not fixed. No soap dispenser in the shower. Nowhere to put soap on shower. Remember to bring your own towels. You won't be able to see through the dirt on the windows. Bunks are comfortable and linen clean. But it is shabby

A very large bright and breezy hostel. Focused happy and helpful staff. The building is a conversion not purpose built but you get everything you need. A good comfortable bed. Clean bedding. The third floor was a building site. A good place to hostel, near to the city. I walked to the river in 40 mins though buses were running at 5am .
