The Walrus Bar and Hostel

Good but the floors are too high and there's no lift.

Not bad!!!!!!!! Just like the picture, staff are nice. Great location, people in the room are quiet.

Clean and welcoming.

Great location. Nice staffs. Cheap luggages storage. If you need a quiet place for sleep, this may not be the one for you, as the train is really close to the window and you may hear them crossing one by one very clearly. But it's ok for me.

Very good place to stay! Will come back in the future for sure! Thanks!

When we arrived the staff were friendly and since we were early for check in they let us leave our bags. When we checked in we were given 3 codes for the front door, our room and the bar door. When we got into the room it was alright for a 28 bed dorm. The beds were not very comfy but it was clean enough. The lockers were big which was good! The toilets were very small and cramped. They weren’t well equipped and didn’t get cleaned regularly. The kitchen was alright as it had a hob and a microwave. The hostel offered free breakfast which was great. It was very loud outside at night and since there was a bar downstairs it was quite loud there also. The location was fantastic as it was next to the underground and a short walk to London Eye. Overall, I would recommend for the location but there is a lot of improvement that could be made.

Great value for money and in the best of London locations, 24 hour check in and out using digital access codes makes it very convenient, and of course the bar downstairs! 😊 There is no lift, and you can hear noise from Waterloo train station, but the positives far outweigh this.

Unbeatable location, friendly staff, clean hostel facilities and a lovely bar downstairs. The gentle rumble of passing trains didn’t disturb me but if you’re an early/ light sleeper do consider the highly central location.

I would want to rate it "0" in terms of experience . For all my stays in hostels in the UK and the recent one at YHA Hostels (the best experience) , this was probably the worst . I arrived in the evening only to be met by unfriendly young faces managing the reception. The 28 bed room was a rather dingy one with several storage locker doors broken . The worst was the bedding which was stained, dusty and the pillow was covered with hair. Having had a long journey and tired , I found myself dusting my bed and used my own pillow cover as I did not have much choice to choose another place to stay in the middle of the night. Its a shame that basic clean facilities (bedding) were not provided , despite paying almost 35 pounds for a night. I would have reported this directly to the gentleman at the reception next morning had I not had to rush to catch the train. I am sure to never return here and would not recommend anyone either.
