Inspite of the cramp room and how old this building is; it was priced right during my time of stay. I appreciate the location how central it was for piblic transport. The staff were really helpful. They were also available 24-7 ( I think) coz I left past 2AM and few people were manning the pub and the pub wasn’t crowded at all times of day. Please is recommended for solo budget travellers.

I have stayed at many hostels this is the worse place I ever been at. Soooooo dirty like imagine they just never clean. 2x2 toilet with poop all over. No light in the bed, no curtains, no bath towel, no soap, no water, no mirror nothinggggg. But this is not the worse. I got bed bugs. Tones of bites. Then to top it off I had a guy drunk puke in bed and leave bag full of pukes in the room. They were screaming during the night so much we had to get the front desk guy to come over. The area is also not safe at all. I did not sleep in 3 days. I had to leave the last night in the middle of the night I could not take it anymore the vomit did it for me. Honestly don’t stay there nothing good will come out of it more problem than anything.

easy to find, right next to an underground station and only 15 mins walk to Hyde park. Cheap price. Only hesitation from staying there again is that I booked what I thought was a 3 bed female dorm (as advertised on Expedia) and at 2am I woke up to find a man in my room who had booked the bottom bunk. Upon querying in the morning the hostel said they don’t offer 3 bed female dorms, so it was an error from Expedia marketing.

Odd vibes/characters

I stayed in the 9 bedroom bunk, and there were people coming in and out of the room at 2am and 4am despite “quiet hours.” The beds have cages around them presumably so you can’t fall out of the bunk, but it makes it very hard to stretch out and find a comfortable position. The mattresses are also paper thin. The bathroom next to our bedroom had a very loud fan that seemed to be wired so that no one could turn it off (constantly in the ‘on’ position). Someone took a sponge bath the next morning, so the bathroom was covered in water in the AM. This seems to be the type of hostel where desperate people panhandle so they can sleep a night for the 18 pounds. The location is great, and the staff were friendly enough, but it was kind of a grim experience. If i come again, i would choose a room with a smaller capacity.

I also think that they should include at least a free coffee/tea in the morning service. It is very bare bones, which, of course, is reflected in the price. They had a nice batch of complementary citrus infused water though.

The pub was open 24 hours - the food was nice - ability to bring in a takeaway - perfect - they even gave us plates !

Hostel next to Edgeaware Road tube station

The hostel is just a few steps from the station. There is staff on site 24/7 so you won't have to worry about being locked out, and they are efficient and helpful. The food is good and there is a large variety of beer, warm and cold. It has plenty of outlets and free
WI-fi and plenty of tables and chairs. The hostel is located in a cheap part of town. Police cars with sirens would always race by day and night but nothing dangerous happened around the hostel. Edgeware Road is a pretty gritty area and there are a lot of cheap-eats open late at night.

Now for the bad . You have to climb either one or two flights of stairs to get to your room. The halls are not well illuminated so depending what room you're assigned, it's hard to find the right numbers and letters on the keypad to let yourself in. The rooms are cramped with too many beds which are three-tiered. So if you get the bottom be you might feel a bit claustrophobic. The showers are on the same level as your room, but if you want to go to the bathroom you have to go downstairs. The last two days I was there something went wrong with the showers. They all had to be closed down. Water was coming thru the cieling and in to the foyer in the dining area.

New but can still improve

Was given the lower bed which just 3 inches from the floor. The clearance is only about 24 inches which not possible to sit on the bed. The only bed thst can sit nicely will be only the top bunk but not the middle bunk bed or the lower bottom bed.

I check in at 3pm which means there still many other beds available but given the worst bottom bed just next to other guests shoes and boots. During the night. Can still see many top beds available and that should be ask during check in before allocate the bed.

Staff check me in iis not friendly. I was ask to stand aside when trying show my booking details. I am a frequent traveller which staying at hotels 5 days a week. This is really not the way as I am trying to show booking details from my mobile.

Used to stay in Greenman pub long ago but now no longer provide free breakfast as before.

Very disappointed in almost every aspect of stay.

Wifi - terrible. Did not work AT ALL upstairs and was very temperamental downstairs.
Bedroom - tiny and old. 6 bed female dorm, two sets of three high bunks. And little more than the space of a bunk to walk / stand in. 2 double sockets in the entire room, and only 3 of the sockets worked, so only half the people could charge their phones at night. No air con/ ventilation so I had to have a window open on my all night to get air into the room, needless to say I got a cold after the second night And a crick in my neck.
Showers - one on second floor for maybe 3-4 rooms of people. And it wasnt great, no heat control just on button with automatic off after 30s. More showers down stairs which I didn't use.
Stairs- carpet very worn, down to holes in places.
Breakfast - toaster didn't work. 2 out of 3 mornings no sugar. Not near enough spoons (there's maybe about 5 - I overheard staff talking about how they knew they needed more) I had to wait for another guest to finish breakfast so I could have mine to use their spoon.
Pub down stairs was nice other than the really worn couches.
Location was excellent. 2 doors from edgeware road tube station.
Rude housekeeping staff. I had two separate instances with one member of housekeeping staff who I found very very rude.
Note: when you arrive you check in at the bar. I went upstairs looking for a reception desk and there was none.
Apparently they're planning a renovation. I hope it can pull off some serious changes.

Run down, not clean, bed bugs.

First off, this is a budget hostel... so you don't expect the hilton. You do expect cleanliness and at least some standard of upkeeping. The place itself is on its last legs, completely run down. Rooms are crammed, smelly and not very clean. One of the shower blocks has been refurbished so it is nice, but the rest of the hostel is a dive.

On the last morning there was no hot or cold water and no electricity. I had to go to a train station and wash myself in their sink. Not acceptable when you've paid to stay somewhere.

While sitting at the train station on my way home I saw a bug on my bag... then another, then another then (no exaggeration) about 20 more. The crevasses on my suitcase and backpack were INFESTED with bed bugs. I'll now have to throw the bags away. Not risking taking bed bugs into my house.

Annoying as well that there is no social area other than the pub, nowhere to just chill out or even heat up some food or make tea.

The only redeeming factor was the friendly staff.

Stay here at your own risk. (I stayed in room 1 for the record)

Stayed here for work it is so close to Paddington (5min walk) sainsbury's is 50 yards away. The food at the Greenman is really nice especially there signature burger the B*sterd taste amazing.

People staying at the hostel are given a 10% discount on their bar bill and the staff are really friendly.

Sunday is Quiz Night which was fun the winners winning a £50 bar voucher and I believe Thursday is Karaoke.

The showers where cleaned daily and are rather hot some days.

Overall this is the perfect location and great price for the night at £12, meeting may people from throughout Europe.

Very basic hostel, great pub

The hostel was very basic - simple light duvet & sheet provided, unsecured part of a shelf for your possessions, very few 13A sockets (most people want to charge their phones), triple-bunk beds with no screening. Near to Edgware Road & Marylebone Road, so lots of siren noise 24/7. Curtains not up to the job of keeping light out in the morning. Showers have reasonable pressure, though temperature is hard to regulate, it's appropriate. Continental breakfast is actually just cereal & toast with tea, coffee & orange juice. Pub had good selection of beers, and food looked tasty.

Hotel staff shrug their shoulders at complaints

They cleared my things off my bed and made my bed up for someone else. They threw away my bottle of water, which, when I asked them to replace and complained about my things being cleared, they just shrugged their shoulders. Apparently I should have been pleased I'd accidentally got clean linen.

The wifi doesn't work and disconnects every 10 seconds. The lights in the toilets don't work and the shower on the end didn't turn down from scolding.

All in all, if I could sum this hostel up in one word, it would be \"useless\".

This hostel was strange. The triple bunks are very odd with no head room. Pick the middle bunk if you get a chance. I stayed in a 9 bed dorm and there was only 1 power plug by the door in the room for everyone which made it difficult. Other than this the bedding seemed clean and so did the bathroom. The breakfast was basic and probably fine but I waited half an hour to get in and grab some toast and still didn't get any. There is only 2 hours for breakfast so it means lots of people in on short space of time.
