The loaction was great close to an underground station. had a bar downstairs couldn't hear it in the rooms. rooms had a fan to cool down at night. staff were helpful and even did a load of washing for us.
The bathrooms could have been better. the water pressure was shocking and would only stay on for 30 seconds if not less.

El personal muy amable y la cercania con los transportes son un golazo..
Estaba rota la perilla del baño, los lockers estaban afuera de las habitaciones ...

Cumple lo que promete, todo muy limpio y bien gestionado.
Las duchas del segundo piso funcionaban por ciertos segundos, así que era incómodo. También le agregaría cortinas a las camas.

La posizione di questo ostello è davvero buono, vicino anche alla stazione di London Bridge e alla metro ,i letti sono comodi e lo staff gentile.
Le docce del secondo piano erano fredde, meglio quelle al terzo piano, pulizia nei limiti. Direi che x farci pochi giorni ci si può adattare.

Location was great! Pretty close to metro station and with some convenience shops around. Staff were nice and friendly.
The outlets in the room were not too close to each bed; there were no curtains for the beds either. And I didn’t see lockers there (stayed only for a night though)

Nearby center city
I can consider that there is no elevator but atleast staff like the man should offer help to carry up the luggage.
The rest are all fine

Location is fantastic and the hostel is kept quite clean. Not too far from most of the major attractions and has a tube station right around the corner too. I was on the third floor and it was nice and quiet (even on the weekend).
Wifi is really bad, like practically unusable at times which is frustrating. The showers are quite small and awkward to use as well
I had food stolen out of the common room which I know isn't the fault of the hostel but just want to note it was part of my experience staying here, lesson learned tho, don't buy food other people are going to want :)

The location of this hostel is great, it is close to main attractions.
Restrooms were cleaned very often.
It could be better air flow in a room

staff
small, stinky rooms, small toilets and showers, cold water in the showers, pub downstairs that makes it challenging for you to sleep in the night
7.0 / 10.0
I liked the kitchen where it's easy to cook and share a meal, and there are sockets near each bed which are quite comfortable. Staff is available 24/7 and very helpful !
Not enough bathrooms for everyone, you may have to queue !

Good location - I’d never stayed in a hostel before but this was about the only place I could stay for a reasonable price for New Years Eve - and I’d stay again there for one night - basic facilities but place was reasonably clean and I did sleep comfortably for few hours after getting in late after going out for New Years Eve. Reception was helpful and explained things clearly
You know what you are getting when you book a hostel - you are booking a cheap basic bed for a night … so it’s no good then comparing it to a hotel and complaining.

Top staff, top management, I found this hostel inviting and cheerful, a result not easy to achieve in London’s hospitality competitive market during the low season, when the weather is bad. I arrived at the property on a rainy weeknight, worried about the quality of the accommodation. Cold and rain can stir up trouble, only the best lodging establishments are always lively, some others have dirty linen to wash in private. Nobody likes to sleep in a run down, lifeless, uninspiring bedroom, whatever their gender, age, body type, cultural background and so forth, but according to guests’ feedback in the whole of Europe it occurs sometimes. It happened to me years ago, I read the description of a hostel on the web, watched the pictures and gave it a go, but when I walked into my room I realised that it was so mouldy, decayed and desolating that it couldn’t have been suitable to an average traveller like me but only to people who would have slept there for a really cheap price or to be used as a storage room. Nonetheless Dover Castle Hostel was shining brightly, all the rooms I visited were in good shape, all facilities were cleaned and serviced regularly and there was a relaxed, sociable vibe. In particular, the online advertisements faithfully reflect what I experienced, none of the hostel features is misrepresented as it occasionally happens throughout Europe. Communication and understanding of guests are keys that open many doors.

Loved the location of the hostel. The closest tube station is around 3 minutes walk. London bridge is around 10 minutes walk. All the major landmarks are really close. Price per night was really great and affordable.
The sinks in the toilets could be replaced and newer ones should be installed. Currently there are separate taps for cold and hot water which makes it difficult to mix the water to bring it to required temperature.

Really friendly receptionist Nicole who helped me perfectly after I made a Booking mistake.
A little to less showers and toilets compared to how many People there are.
