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.

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

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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

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.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Excellent, the waiting/reception area is full of people making the place feel vibrant and the mattress, linens, and pillows were all clean. I gave it 4/5 stars because some of the bathrooms were pretty dirty. People would leave trash out of the bins and or leave clothes around without picking up after themselves. Perhaps not a reflection of the staff themselves, but I wish something could’ve been done there. Otherwise the reception/hosts were incredibly receiving and very friendly.

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 .

Did the job for one night stay with friends, one issue was that in the communal bathrooms the signage wasn’t clearly in show meaning that men were going into the women’s bathroom and shower and women were going into the men’s,made me feel a little unsafe and uncomfortable but other than that the staff were amazing and it did the job for what we needed it for. :))
