Hostels w: Greater London, United Kingdom

Small but perfectly formed. I've stayed here three times already, and the experience is always excellent. The self-service check-in is super convenient, and there are always staff members nearby to assist. This time I noticed they've added three new elevators, which makes things even smoother. The location is superb, close to Chinatown.

I stayed at Cosmos Capsule Coworking London again, for the second time, and had a pleasant experience overall like I had during my first visit. This capsule hotel offers a unique blend of accommodation and coworking space at an affordable price. Located on Hanbury Street, just an 11-minute walk from Aldgate East station, its central location makes it accessible. Just outside the hotel, at 67 Hanbury Street, is Chaii Town, a charming Chai and Coffee shop that I highly recommend. They offer a great variety of Chai flavors and pastries. I tried their Ginger Chai and Chai Latte, both of which were delicious. Their exotic pastries, like Dubai Cookies and Matcha Cookies, pair perfectly with the aromatic Chai. The owner was wonderful, and the hospitality was exceptional. The capsules are well-designed and functional, featuring ambient lighting with customizable colors—blue, pink, green, yellow, or white. Each capsule also includes a TV screen and headphones, though I didn’t use them during my stay. The capsules are not soundproof, so a good night’s rest depends on the courtesy of fellow guests. Fortunately, everyone during my stay were considerate, and I slept well. Earbuds are provided in the capsule just in case. The shared spaces, including the showers and toilets, were very clean. The shared kitchen area includes essentials like a sink, microwave, kettle, tea, and cups. One standout feature is the massage chair in the common area, which offers a good massage after a long day. There’s no traditional reception desk; instead, check-in is automated via a WhatsApp message or email with an access code. This code grants entry to the building and a small box containing your key card. While the shared spaces were immaculate, the capsules could use a bit more attention. I noticed hairs from previous guests on the blanket. Overall, Cosmos Capsule Coworking London is a good option for budget-conscious travelers who need a comfortable place to stay and work.

Very good customer service and highly efficient reception team. Very good location in the high brow area of London. Amenities are kept very clean and well-managed. I forgot my laptop in the lobby after checking out, taking only the laptop charger. I had already reached Manchester when I noticed it wasn't in my laptop bag. I called the reception and they assured me that the laptop was found and kept in a safe place for me. Four days later, I came back to the hostel and picked up my laptop after they confirmed it was mine. This cannot happen in many hostels and budget stays in a big city like London. It's a big plus for them. I fully recommend staying in this hostel to anyone looking for such a clean and well-managed budget accommodation in London.

There is a women-only area, and only guests with a key card can enter. The women-only section has two bathrooms and one room with a maximum capacity of 10 people. The bunk beds are not very sturdy, so if the person on the top bunk moves, you can feel the vibration on the bottom bunk. For this reason, I wouldn’t recommend it to light sleepers. I stayed for 8 nights and only received two towels in total—one of them only after I asked for it myself. The bathrooms were clean, and tea was available for free. There is no laundry room, so you’ll need to use the nearest laundrette. The common room has a kettle, a microwave, and a small fridge.

Enjoyed this stay and particularly wanted to shout out Gerard who went above and beyond to make it a fun stay for us and our friends! Great location, good stay, as always easy check in and checkout. Would recommend!

Budget accommodation in great location for BST Hyde Park concerts and very close to Paddington Station and tube. Also lots of restaurants and shops within a short walk. Was irritated to arrive at premises and find a note on the door saying I had to check in at another hotel a short walk away first. However, staff there were very friendly and someone escorted me back to Atlas Studios after checking in. Room clean and nice to have a kitchenette. Also a fan, which was essential as it was during the heatwave. However, there was no TV in the room despite the Facilities section on Atlas Studios website saying 'TV in Room'. I would not have booked here if I had known there was no TV, so this was very disappointing.

Brilliantly situated YHA in London with affordable private rooms, cafe, bar, communal kitchen, lounge, clean rooms and comfy beds. About a 30minute scenic walk to Tower Bridge, an excellent location for budget travellers.

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel. The location is excellent, with easy access to public transport and many attractions nearby. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help whenever needed. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, making it easy to meet new people while still feeling relaxed. The facilities were clean, and everything I needed was available. Overall, it was great value for money, and I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

I had a nice stay at this hotel. To enter the rooms, you need to use your key card to access each floor and room, which made me feel that the security was quite good. The bathrooms, toilets, and bed linens were all clean. Each bed has a lockable storage box where you can safely keep and charge small electronic devices such as your phone or earbuds. The bed also comes with a curtain and a fan, which made it comfortable. There are also lockers for luggage. At check-in, the front desk gives you a numbered card, which you attach to the bed you would use during the stay and the locker will be assigned based on the number. If you check in later in the day, only upper bunk beds may still be available. If you prefer a lower bunk, it’s better to check in as early as possible. Items such as hair dryers can be borrowed by leaving a cash deposit, so I recommend bringing some cash with you in advance. It’s a short walk from the station, so it’s not right next door, but I still thought it was relatively close and convenient. The hotel also has a café, and overall it had a very nice atmosphere.

Our stay was unfortunately very disappointing. Before arrival, we specifically requested a quiet room. Instead, we were given a very small room located directly above the reception area. The room offered almost no storage space, only a small coat rack, which was not suitable for two guests staying several nights. The bathroom was extremely small, with a tiny sink and very poor ventilation. After one shower, the entire bathroom became humid, making it uncomfortable for the second person to use it. Sound insulation was almost non-existent. Conversations from rooms above and below were clearly audible, as if they were happening inside our room. The worst experience occurred during our last night, when a group of teenagers arrived. They were extremely noisy, running through the corridors and stairs late at night. Around 11:30 pm, they even knocked loudly on our door and ran away. This was unacceptable and very distressing, especially as we were already asleep. For these reasons, we cannot recommend this property. We regret this experience, as we had hoped for a peaceful and comfortable stay.
