OK, my title is a bit hyperbolic, but the essence of it is accurate. London Eye Hostel is a place to stay for a night, but don't let your expectations get further than that. Much of what I have to say has already been said: comical bed-to-room ration, mustiness, and push-button showers that dribble a very little bit of water... More

Nice staff, but not a great hostel. There are too little toilets and bathrooms. They are dirty most of the time because they are cleaned once a day I think. The window frames are filled with dust and mold. Thank god for the great location and the nice staff.

The stuff was medium friendly and not really willing to help you with anything. The breakfast was as cheap as possible. But you can sleep for not much money and the showers would be nice if clean. If you can find something better, go for that but its ok for one night.

I stayed in the female room. My bunk was the top of three beds, and I felt like a sardine. there was no window in the small room, but a fan, which rattled like a jet engine all night. Bring your earplugs. The room was stinky because there is no fresh air The shower was cold. The continental breakfast is... More

Went to this hostel for 2 nights. Some of the staff are nice and some aren't : I was most of the time outside, so I only saw the guy at the front desk. Don't expect too much from this hostel, I mean, it is one of the cheapest in London, not too far from the city if you are... More

Not completely horrible . The rooms are WAY to small for the number of people they squeeze in there. The showering situation and toilets are not clean or roomy, they could use more then 2 showers for 15 people to a room and 4-5 rooms a floor!!! The kitchen was clean and spacious. The common room (which is also the... More

one of the most horrible hostels i've ever been at! the room are too small for this amount of people (12-15!) and there's only ONE or TWO TOILET SEAT IN EACH FLOOR! that's 5-6 rooms of 15 people each, means 1-2 toilets for ~100 people. and the so called shower stalls are drizzling taps that by pushing a singel button...
