Hostel with bar-restaurant close to Tower Bridge and Greenwich, situated on the edge of the Docklands and close to the city centre.
South of the river and close to Tower Bridge and Greenwich, located on the banks of the Docklands, this hostel offers 320 beds with rooms of 2, 4 or 6 beds and three dormitories of 10, a great plus: each dormitory has en suite bathrooms. It has a bar and a restaurant. In a few minutes by metro, you can reach the city centre. We opt for this hostel during a second visit to London, a little off the beaten track, to discover Greenwich and Southwark, just to change the atmosphere and get away from the tourists...

We were eventually told that it's because we were higher up in the building and that it was normal.
Slight improvement on the third day, but nothing significant. Not enjoyable at all. The tap remained barely warm.
Towels are extra, no bath mat, nor any hand towel for the bathroom, for a private ensuite room paying up to 130 a night, it would have made a big difference to have some basics which would have cost the hostel little to nothing.
The bathroom fan was so loud (literally think of an aeroplane level of noise, no exaggeration!) it would wake anyone up if you wanted the loo in the night.
If you are on the top of a bunk bed and are 6ft 1 or over, you can't lie flat as it isn't long enough.
Cleaners tried to come in whilst we were changing clothes even after we shouted no, they aren't supposed to during the stay, not sure what they were up to, I'd assume it was just a mistake but it was inappropriate.
Shower curtain mouldy and needs cutting back so that it goes inside the shower, whoever fitted it didn't have the common sense to realise that if it hangs outside the ledge to the floor, then water will pour all over the rest of the bathroom floor!
I might be wrong and happy to be corrected, but the luggage room didn't seem to have any CCTV for the belongings.
The lounge and communal areas downstairs are abysmal and not up to the standard of any hostel, an absolute dump.
Much higher standards at other hostels for similar prices, we made a mistake and I'd advise anyone reading this to look for a more central, better equipped hostel even if you're paying more.
