Poor overall - I wouldn't go again

Poor overall. Don't go if steps are a problem, as there is no operational lift. General condition is dingy. Showerhead not fixed. No soap dispenser in the shower. Nowhere to put soap on shower. Remember to bring your own towels. You won't be able to see through the dirt on the windows. Bunks are comfortable and linen clean. But it is shabby

Great value hostel with a great staff!

This is an older hostel but is very functional. We had a room with our own bathroom/shower. The rooms are quite small but if you are spending most of your day out seeing the sights of London, the size of the room really doesn't matter. The staff is amazing and very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for luxury, then this isn't the place for you. If you want a functional hostel with easy access to public transportation at a great value, then Restup London is perfect. We stayed there during two different portions of our vacation and would do so again without hesitation.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Property is located at what was an old school. My room was on the top floor which meant a good climb up each time i returned. It was just down the street from Elephant and Castle which has tube access to London routes. Weatherspoon has a decent dining area and at fair rates. There is bus service just a few steps from the front door which is very convenient. There did seem to be a bit of noise...both in the hall outside my door and from outside. Overall, not bad for the price. You do have to provide your own towels.

Tiny rooms, dirty, don’t recommend

I would not recommend this hostel to anyone. Your pictures are wildly misleading and inaccurate. The hostel rooms are completely ill equipped for anyone staying in them. There is nowhere to put your things, there isn’t a bin and there aren’t any hooks in the room. I don’t want to have to walk down 4 flights of stairs to get something out of a locker every time. Our room was for 4 people and it probably 6 foot by 8 foot including two sets of bunk beds. There was absolutely no room to move around. There was no character or personality to the rooms or corridors either, making it feel like a prison. Whilst I appreciate that hostels are notoriously the cheaper option and standards aren’t the same as a hotel, this was actually quite gross and uncomfortable to stay in. Given that we are in the height of summer and the temperatures were hitting 28, thick winter quilts were still on the beds and no way to get any air circulation in the rooms. The sink in the room was absolutely tiny. There was probably getting on for 40 rooms on one floor and only three female toilets and showers. They were dirty and once again, ill equipped to take a shower. Nowhere to put your stuff so everything gets wet. Out of the three showers, only one was actually useable. The light was broken in one and another didn’t lock. Having no kitchen facilities in a hostel is also very disappointing. It was about a 10 minute walk from Elephant and Castle station, so not a bad location.

The worst hostel experience ever

Do not book this place even though it seems cheap. This was the worst place to stay. Book at your own disappointed. The reviews must be fake. The below were some of the main issues, which im surprised not been mentioned by others: 1. Loud traffic all through the night (police, bikes, etc) 2. Hand dryers not working in the toilets 3. Toilets dirty 4. No proper cooling on a hot summers day 5. No pillow was provided (or taken by someone else) 6. Matresses were not even reasonably firm 7. No lifts into the building 8. Getting to the hostel felt like going through a sketchy area.
