    Für ein Hostel echt gut. Die Zimmer sind relativ groß und wie üblich für ein Hostel sehr spatanisch eingerichtet. Toiletten und Duschen sind auf dem Gang. Die Aufenthaltsräume sind groß und die Angebote dort super.

    Excellent location for walking around the city, also perfect for all the clubs in the surrounding area for nightlife. Very nice and helpful staff. Very clean toilets, as well as the whole structure, which is fundamental. I stayed in a mixed room for 8, with the essentials present and a cage to store under the bed for personal items. To be absolutely recommended for cleanliness and location. I'll be back!

    A very nice hostel. The location is perfect - right in the center of Soho. The rooms are clean, quiet. The beds are comfortable enough to sleep well after a party. We liked the lobby. We had some minor issue with the elevator, but the staff solved the problem perfectly. I would definitely recommend this hostel.

    The pictures in google maps look way better than the actual place. I found it to be a little dirty (I saw a mouse in the coffee area) and a bit more expensive than similar better alternatives. Shower had no hot water and shower panel was falling off. I changed hostel the next day. That being said, the location is convenient and the price is not particularly high. Would stay again only if location in SoHo is very important.

    My favourite place to crash in London. However, there's one thing they need to improve. When I stay at SoHostel is usually because I want to go out in London, crash in the hostel and leave in the morning. It's very frustrating that there's usually no one after certain time in reception to open the door for you, so you have to keep ringing and ringing until someone comes and opens the door for you. It took them 25 minutes of ringing and waiting outside the last time.

    The price is good. They have the best location and they serve a relative cheap continental breakfast. The prices at the bar were fine compared to the rest of the city. They have laundry (£4.5 for washing machine, dryer and soap). My biggest problem was with the rooms, they are so small that when it is full, the people and their bags do not fit well at all. Also the structure of the bunks is made of a material very, very noisy and they quake a lot when you are trying to move. The bathrooms are OK.

    Second time I've stayed at SoHostel, a very nice and affordable hostel in central Soho, which is lovely! Stayed for a week, and had the privilege of the room to ourselves for all but one day. Staff were very nice & even sorted out my friend and I staying in the same room!

    Worst Hostel I've been to throughout my travels. The rooms and showers were too small, the beds were hard as rocks, it is right next to a construction site and they don't tell you that anywhere and to top it all I was yelled by the night receptionist for asking his help with some guy snoring in my room. Left after one night and I would advise anyone to avoid this place.

    Firstly, the staff are excellent and the location is very good. The price we paid was good too at only £23 per night for a double room. If you're staying here be warned it is very noisey from the street as well as other guests is bad. A lot of the showers and toilets were out of use (but still plenty). It's incredibly hot too, a fan is provided but it's perched on a chair that is too small for it. Toilets and showers were cleanish. Bar was shut as was roof terrace but both looked good. Overall its not too bad really especially given the price but it's not the most comfortable.

    Awesome hostel, very nice and kind staff. The security is superb and so is the infrastructure. The bathrooms (even if they call it shared) are private (only one person per time) and the location is terrific. The bar downstairs is cool with good and affordable pints (they even have happy hours and weekends promotions) with a kitchen. The breakfast is good and with nice options for a small price. Accepts credit cards.

    Pros. Very central, very cheap, clean and staff are very polite. Cons. So noisy, the floors crack so you hear every person passing on the corridor, the door in the bedroom sounds like in the horror movies and the bed sounds too 😅 I won't talk about the works on the building nearby because it's not their fault. My dormitory was 6bed only female and was only 1-3 ppl, I was lucky.

    I came alone for a weekend trip in London. Hostel is great, staff is great also. Only thing is that it's very loud until 2am because of location.

  • 4/5 ryan r. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice and clean place for the price you pay. Comparing to others with same price is amazing. But something needs to be improved is after certain time there's no one in the reception and you need to keep ringing for someone to open the door for you. Otherwise 👌🏼

  • 4/5 Lydia J. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely and simple hostel with a great location. Only paid £18 for the night with hot showers. Free drinks and common room facilities and 24h security on front desk

  • 2/5 Debbie W. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff friendly, great location but not very clean at all and in desperate need of even the most basic repairs. Beds uncomfortable and pillows non existent, get the place sorted out man a hostel doesn’t have to be scummy.

  • 4/5 Kathleen Wilson (. 2 years ago on Google
    This was good stay and the location is unbeatable! So close to bus stops and the underground. It's a pity that it has such bad housekeeping issues and half closed due to Covid. I'm sure my stay would have been awesome with the bar, breakfast and lounge open.The floors were absolutely disgusting and my bare feet never touched them. The showers are also revolting with terrible mold and mildew smells. However I had a good stay. They are currently serving unlimited tea and coffee in the main room and Tesco is literally 1 minute away. My bed itself was spotless and the staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I'd recommend this for your stay in London but definitely bring your flip flops, soap and hand sanitizer.

    Overall I had a great time at the sohostel. Staff is very friendly and helpfull, giving good recommendations. The communal area is nice to hang out in, altho it's fullest potential is sorta stuck due to corona still. Location is great, Soho area almost offers anything I could think of to eat or drink. Only downside is the layout/engineering they have in the building is sorta old: some toilets with a jank flush that u need to try a couple times before it works, bed nightlights working on batteries, sockets aren't in reach for top bunks. But again, overall a great place to stay and I'll come here again if need to find a place in London to stay

    Grimey, dirty and stink dosshole . Jake and Luca were helpfulk on the desk but there was a rude lady who had a massive attituide problem with helpibng customers. She wore glasses, slightly chubby and was short... the beeding had cigarette burns and tea stains on ... the mattresses are made of blue of plastic and are 2 inches thick ! It's like sleeping of a rock. Use your imagination ( a prison type cell mattress) the place is poorly kept and needs a refurb... it has a awful lingering smell also... not worth £20 a night. the only plus were the friendly guests and the location ! Stay elsewhere !

    i have been here 2015. but still remember every detail

  • 2/5 Liam S. 2 years ago on Google
    Rough. Beds are very hard. Not bad if you just want a place to crash if you’ve been on it. Constructions at the front and back of the building starting at 8am in the morning

  • 5/5 Shadi R. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect location, super cheap and clean and spacious, highly recommended! Much better than any hotel

  • 5/5 David S. 2 years ago on Google
    Rooms are clean, they have spaces to sit and relax or take a coffee, the receptionist is kind and give all the information you need

  • 1/5 sara s. 2 years ago on Google
    Rooms are disgusting, the smell, maybe from the carpet, was so strong that I couldn’t sleep. I also had to change room because in the first room I came in, the bed was dirty, covered in crumbles like if somebody had eaten on it and the smell was unbearable. The windows can’t be opened and the beds are uncomfortable. I stayed in several hostels in London but this one is the worst. Remove the carpet 🤢

    DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!! So dirty and so gross. Pictures on the website look NOTHING like in person. There were spiders crawling in the showers, bathrooms had leakage, and bedrooms had unknown stains all over the wall. Very out-dated building and not clean. Also, I booked an all female room and on our first night there was a man in our room. The employees did nothing to fix their mistake and we had to sleep with a man in our room. Great location but if you want a clean and comfortable place, this is NOT the place.

    I recently stayed here during my short time in London and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The staff is friendly and made me feel welcome. I even had some thought provoking conversations and laugh with some of the staff. I slept in a 6-person mixed room with an en-suite bathroom. The accommodations were nice and always clean. The food was good (Big ups to Dex, the evening chef). For the price and location, this place is hands down my favorite place! I will most definitely be going back when I return to London. They also have a ton of events that guest can sign up for from Pub Crawls, Walking Tours, and various other tourist things. I'm truly going to miss Stewart, Hazel, Val, Marta, Lou, and the rest of the staff that made my stay so enjoyable.
