The Walrus Bar & Hostel 172 Westminster Bridge Road, London SE1 7RW

"Great location, tons of cool, interesting and nice places nearby ( also lots of restaurants ). The place is nice, the bar has a great atmosphere and was pretty much full during our whole stay. The staff was pretty nice to us, too! The rooms were surprisingly great too! We stayed at the room on the first floor ( it has about 20 beds ) and the beds were nice, the room clean, big lockers available. Only thing we thought could improve was that there were not enough electricity sockets, you had to leave your stuff next to other people's sockets which meant leaving your stuff charging without supervision and maybe next to a stranger. Showers were clean and nice, but the bathrooms were not. Overall we had a great time and thought the place is a great option for travelers, since you have a lot of opportunities to visit nice places and meet a lot of people!"

"I absolutely do not recommend this hostel. It’s true that the price is really attractive considering the location but believe me it’s not worth the conditions you’ll face. -No lock in the toilets -Suspicious white substance on the toilet floor -One bathroom for 10+ more people (men and women combined, yes, even if you booked a bed in a women only dormitory) -Mold in the bathroom I get it, you cannot expect perfection for this price but it could at least be decent. It’s really disappointing because this hostel could be a very nice place if it was a bit more clean. In fact, the staff is nice and helpful, the kitchen is really nice, the beds are comfy too."

"I loved the place, it was really comfortable, clean, safe and very good located! It’s perfect to visit London and staying in budget. Plus it has everything you need to have a good stay. Supermarket is just front and getting to the Waterloo station is just a in walk. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Downsides: the bathrooms and showers have no heating and is really cold in winter. The train passes next to the the building so it is kind of noisy, but nothing that you cannot sleep on. I recommend it and I would comeback!"

"Great value for money, I arrived to a freshly made bed right next door to a nice communal kitchen, just opposite to what appeared to be brand new showers. There’s noise from the trains and traffic but to say that this location is central would be an understatement, you simply can’t get better for the price. It has a cosy bar downstairs that is discounted for guests, and was showing the World Cup on a large screen too!"

"I' ve stayed here with a friend for two nights and we absolutely loved the place! The staff was awesome, we loved the breakfast deal and the night atmosphere. Beds were cozy and pretty warm, the whole place felt like a little home♡ Loved it! Will come back for sure."
