Hostel 63 in London, England

Location was OK but it was dirty as hell, few bathrooms available (luckily we got upgraded to a room with shower! but one of the bathrooms stayed broken for at least 3 days), noisy as hell (doors make a lot of noise). Sofas in front of the baths + uncleanliness does not make one too confortable ;). Saw a french woman (around 40) who had to sleep one night in those sofas because the hotel staff messed with her reservation; not too serious either. Would not recommend at all.

Good people, poor cleanliness. The location is not bad, and has lot of buses and metro for the centre of london (20min). Eduardo Jorge, from Portugal ~ 2nd Oct 2009

I have no idea abt safety and fun because I only slept in the hostel. Staff was very friendly, we arrived at night and departed early in the morning. Karen, from Netherlands ~ 18th Sep 2009

It was very good and safe, no problems there. You could leave anything in the room, or at frontdesk. Only problem is that matresses are a bit old, and the toilets and shower were not always clean! But I would return, because it is cheap, and well located! EDUARDO JOSE, from Costa Rica ~ 16th Sep 2009

I had booked a 4 bed dorm room, but upon arrival was put in a room by myself. Which I didn't mind at the time as I was only staying at the hostel for one night. However, the cleanliness of the bed was appalling as mine had bed bugs as i discovered after lying for a few hours unable to get to sleep. I complained the next morning to no avail and with no manager contactable. Very disappointing, I would definately go elsewhere. I have never experienced this at a hostel before.

this is for West Two hostel, not hostel 63, as upon arrival we were told our booking did not exist!!! I had received an email confimation, called up to confirm and was told a 6bed dorm is waiting for us. When we arrived they said no such booking exists on their system, hello? they gave us three twin rooms in West Two. bedbugs despite clean looking sheets, filthy floors, sinks, walls you name it. I know it's the cheapest place around but come on! will never use it again. Dariusz, from Poland ~ 11th Aug 2009

great location, close to tubes and buses, pretty central, friendly staff and lots of amenities close enough. free internet computer available; chill out lounge etc... only fault... bring a spare towel to drape over the in-room shower cubicle to preserve your modesty in front of strangers :/ emma, from England ~ 29th Jul 2009
