BacPac Hostel

Hammersmith

"The staff was very kind and friendly but there was a lot of confusion and lack of organization. There were also no towels for rent at the desk as the website said there would be and the toilet in the all female dorm was broken (not a huge deal as there was another restroom outside the room but still not ideal). The rooms themselves were clean and the beds were normal hostel beds. Definitely worth the $20/night but not much more than that."

Top London Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing central location, elegant, luxury, very helpful staff. Top shelf!"

Hotel Riu Plaza London Victoria

10/10 Excellent

"Le meilleur buffet déjeuner que j’ai vu. Un choix de nourriture variée et excellent. Le personnel de l’hôtel est vraiment très gentil et serviable. Le lit très confortable et les commodités de la salle de bain vraiment très bien. De plus aucun bruit venant du couloir ou des autres chambres ne nous a dérangé. L’emplacement est excellent à 5 minutes de marche de la station Victoria où on peut prendre le train ou le métro. Beaucoup de bons restaurants à proximité. Je recommande vivement cet hôtel."

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel

8/10 Good

"Fundamentally, it's a hostel with lockers big enough to sleep in. It's an incredibly nice, clean hostel with very nice self-service amenities, especially for the price, but you'll hear the people in the bunks adjacent to you and see people in various states of trying to sleep or relax in their pods. The pods are clever with storage but it's still very scarce, especially in the single pods. Pros: Fantastic location on a pedestrian street steps off the Elizabeth line and Oxford Street. Vending-machine amenities are both novel and genuinely useful, the lounge is cozy, the aircon works very well, and the built-in 65W USB-C charging was brilliant. If you're comfortable with mixed-gender commons in the otherwise private toilets and showers, they're quite nice. Cons: Very new and different; still service wrinkles to iron out. Staff understanding of some of the systems was spotty, and online access to add-on features like early check-in didn't work. Some vending-machine amenities were out of stock and weren't restocked during the stay. Heavy reliance on cameras reading QR codes for corridor and room locks often meant waiting and adjusting the phone until things worked. Whatever they're doing to wash their towels fills them with white lint that will cover most of you, and any clothing they come in contact with. No do-not-disturb option was presented to stave off the very persistent housekeeping staff from knocking mid-mornings. Pods are quite unfriendly to inflexible bodies."
