Reviews of The Walrus Bar and Hostel

Easy check in, excellent staff, perfect location.

Could be noisy with traffic / trains outside at times but everywhere is in central london, earplugs were provided though so was not an issue.

Everything. The staff were so friendly, every place I went to was clean, I felt very safe and welcome. I loved the times that were allowed for the kitchen and free breakfast and so on. The location was amazing and for amazing price.

The only thing is that I didn't mind the sound of the trains passing more so the fan that was on in our room making a lot of noise and I got a horrible cold from it blowing the entire night directly in my direction. I didn't know as did any of the girls I shared an accomodation with if we could turn it off so if we could absolutely no problems whatsoever but just that

the location and staff were very good

The sockets in my room didn't work, and the mattress was terrible. They warn you about the noise of the trains, but I had no idea how unbearable it was.

Stayed in 26 beds mixed room and I must say that I was very comfortable with everything. There's a great privacy of yours thanks to curtains around your bed. Every bed has its own curtains and charging point with and adaptable light. The lamps were also designed for each bed to enjoy light if fancied. Before coming here I had to rebook my reservation and they helped me immediately. I am happy the way they communicaye and help to customers/guests. 1 star is missing due to pillow quality and the room to be hot due to no AC. Yet I have seen AC is not popular in England. Only fans. I was by the windows on each side of my bed so I was lucky to have fresh air. Wifi was awful yet the reception was good. I stayed only 1 day. If I would stay more, I would definitely need them to solve the wifi issue. Waterloo is very active and crowded. Lots of bars and markets. I had no prob with train noise as it seems very rare during the night. If you are coming from a very quiet place, you can not be happy here. Breakfast is a bonus and it's for free. Water is also free at the bar. The staff and Mr. İmran was very kind and helpful. Thanks for everything.

Location is very good 👍

Staff are great. Location great (train doesn’t bother me). Free breakfast.

Building needs some serious upgrades. Stairs up to the rooms have broken off in parts (old building yes, but unsafe). No sockets in my dorm only a shared one at one end of the room that only half the room could use easily. No space in my particular dorm for our bags (very small room) and no under bed storage as mattresses were under there.

Such a great location! Super easy public transport around the hostel (both buses and the underground). Facilities were clean and all the staff were super friendly and helpful!

Great Location

Very cheap consider the place you are

Not very clean

The location is fantastic, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The attached pub adds a unique charm, and the complimentary breakfast is a nice touch. That said, rooms are quite compact,

Bathrooms could use some maintenance, and the sound of passing trains can be disruptive—especially for light sleepers.

Walking distance from London eye and Waterloo train station/metro station. Nice, lively neighbourhood.

The main problem was the toilets. Only 1-2 toilets per floor. They were getting cleaned in the morning and getting super dirty by the evening.

The labeling of the rooms and beds. Staff were great as well.

It was a bit awkward to access the room because the touch pad was faulty but it eventually worked after 10 seconds.
