I spent five days in London staying at the OneFam Waterloo hostel, and I can’t recommend them enough! The staff is amazing. They make you feel right at home, and there are always opportunities to join them and other hostel guests on adventures around London. Whether you’re looking to explore the city, hit the clubs, or simply meet new people, the OneFam Waterloo has something for everyone. I had a fantastic time there, and it’s definitely a must-stay for backpackers.

I had a great time at this hostel, the staff were so nice they really worry about you and make you feel very comfortable. It’s safe and in a great location very close to the city center. They also make every night vegetarian dinner for us and it’s super appreciated. I would recommend it and would love to stay there again.

Rafaela

Contrary to the rough reputation some London hostels carry, this place is a real treat. Its well-lit spaces, one-week stay limit, and the presence of cheerful, fun-loving staff like Jo, Derek, Monica, Oana, Brandon, Ryan, and the rest make it exceptional. Making friends is a breeze, and the free nightly vegetarian dinner adds a delightful touch to the overall experience. I highly recommend this hostel for a memorable and enjoyable stay!
