This simple but colorful hostel lies in the heart of the West End, a block west of Soho Square and a block south of the shopping boulevard of Oxford Road.

The WiFi is free (you have to pay extra for a fast conneciton, though); towels rent for £3.

There's a coin-op laundry, breakfast buffet (inclued in some rates), and free daily walking tours.

The lounge/bar hosts live bands Thursday evenings, and open mic karakoe Fridays.

In 2017, they opened a Hawaiian roof garden serving pizza and drinks.

Another nice touch: It's owned by a company that provides low-income housing across London as well as services for the mentally ill and the homeless, so you are contributing to a good cause by staying here.
