The people and staff: everyone was super kind and accommodating (shout-out Meg and Juan). It's also well organised and clean.

The bed was a bit uncomfortable

There are so many like minded people, Kind of stuff was so nice

The bunks are kinda old, And cleaning towel was not really clean. But other than that is great.

这是我第一次在国外住青旅,整体上还是很满意的,当时看是男女混住,所以我一晚上都没有脱衣服,早上起床发现我屋里好像都是男生,而且大多数都把上衣脱掉了。结果等我走的时候,我才发现有一个床上睡了个女生,我不知道同寝男生脱衣服的行为是不是有些不礼貌。不过大家都非常安静,那天晚上真的睡得挺好的,有机会还会再选择青旅。

没有什么不满意的,唯一缺点可能是我预定时候的价格偏贵吧

At onefam waterloo we all fam!

9.0

The atmosphere at Onefam waterloo was so great! You could feel the good vibes, the staff was so nice and you couldn't help going along and having a great time. So, if you are a solo traveller, or not, I couldn't recomend it more. The FREE(excpet travell fares) city tours were also so great. As it was my first time in London it was a great chance to see the city AND the best thing, getting to know other fellow travellers. The FREE vegetarian dinner was also great (go green!) and a good way to getting to know others and don't get me started on the PARTYgames. So, if you hate getting to know people and having fun I don't recomend this hostel but if you love to having fun and getting to know other poeple from all over I couldn't recomend it more (which life is all about). At Onefam Waterloo they truly are one fam. Cheers and thanks for the good times, Jacko, Ana and Shaun!

The facility is like going back to an intimate crowded dorm in college but in a good way. So, not really a drawback, but still if there is anything. But it plays more into the vibes and the vibes makes more than up for it. The staff is also good at letting you know beforehand so you won't be suprised.

The location was great! Very convenient. Stayed at a small 3 person room. The social aspect of the hostel was what drew me in and it exceeded my expectations. Jacko was the best, welcomed me so warmly, very attentive, very good at remembering details from convos as well.. Great at keeping the madness in check and looking for solutions always. Also shout out to Shaun, can't believe it was his first time being a party leader but we had so much fun with the drinking games and the clubs we hit afterwards, he was lovely, great at ushering so many drunk people and very attentive always checking on us, great at giving directions back as well. Thank you all.. I had the best time. I wish I stayed longer, so much stuff to do, i wanted to attend all the activities.. will definitely be back here next time I'm in London.. 💜

The only thing that is slightly annoying (which I suppose isn't unique to this hostel) is the insufficiency of the toilets.. We literally had to queue for the toilets for the World Cup Final and so many of us missed a goal while waiting. Yes exceptional circumstances.. Not sure anything can be done about the facilities in an old building and it's not always like this, but you do need to plan your showers etc if you're in a hurry... Also the gaps between the bunkbeds are small so if you're tall like me you're gonna have to crane your neck a lot if you're sitting ..
