Sat and worked in the pub downstairs and had amazing beer for 3 nights straight. The pub is lively, and you dont feel like a solo/lonely traveler. They give coupons for drinks/snacks, and food as well. Very warm hospitality!

Two nights 8/24-8/25, I recently stayed at the Steam Engine Hostel and had a fantastic experience. I arrived late at night, and although I was tired from my journey, the night shift staff member (possibly named Demetrius) made the check-in process seamless and stress-free. He went above and beyond to help me settle in, showing exceptional kindness and compassion, which I will never forget. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making my stay even more pleasant. Overall, the Steam Engine Hostel provided a welcoming and hospitable environment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay!

It was close to the subway and good pubs nearby and places to eat. But I arrived in a heatwave. And there was NO aircon or even any opening windows in the bunk rooms so we literally sweated all night even with fans. Was very hard to sleep in a pool of sweat. Also the bunks were clean, but very close together so impossible to even sit up in them. Felt a bit like coffins lol. Bathrooms were unisex and pretty icky, very dirty and rubbish and towels everywhere, loos were gross, pee on the seat etc, which unfortunately is what you get when sharing with males. Showers were hot and good pressure. The downstairs was nice decor but no food available until 9am so no breakfast, and only limited menu. Staff were okay, checking in was smooth. Couldn't give me an extra pillow although I asked nicely, and seemed pretty blase about hostel side of things. All up not the nicest hotel I've stayed in but ok if not in a heatwave.

The location is great with many bus and subway transportation options. The female staff that checked me in was so unfriendly to the point that it made me hesitate to go down to the pub for drinks. I did end up visiting the pub a few times and the other staff were fine. Expedia listed optional English breakfast for £9.9 but it was £11. The room was very crammed but fine for the price. The bed seemed clean but I got bug bites on my legs. I really hope they aren’t bedbug bites… There is only one light switch for the entire room of 12 with no individual bedside lighting. The lockers are pretty small and you need to bring your own lock or buy one from them. The bathrooms are not super nice but again, fine for the price. You may be uncomfortable as a female though bc the two bathrooms are gym type showers for both genders. The amount of showers was decent, but definitely not enough toilets and sinks for everyone staying. You have to bring your own towel or rent one for £5. The listing said they would have soap, shampoo, and hair dryers but they didn’t. The internet almost never worked. I ended up having to buy an extra eSIM bc of this. Overall it’s okay for the price and location, but I’ll look for somewhere else next time.

close to train station and 10 mins walk to The London eye and Big Ben! It is good but it’s too noisy at night time inside the bar and worst thing is needs to carry your luggage all the way to the second floor and male and female are shared bathroom, no privacy at all!

Its a hostel so wasn't expecting 5 star. I was there because i had an early start the next day in London and it was a cheap stop over. Staff was lovely. You get discount for food and drink in the pub downstairs. I was in a mixed dorm, this was ok. A little noisy in the night and im pretty sure at about 2am, someone decided to smoke weed at the other side of the room. I was up early so had to try and get about quietly so not to wake others.

The area around Publove is great and also in walking distance of the train station. Upon arriving we were checked in and given the key to our private room. The room was basic, there was a rotating floor fan because no A/C or ventilation in the room or bathroom but a tiny window in the room. I wouldn't have wanted to be in there if that fan wasn't there, especially after showering. An Attic converted to a studio. The mattress felt like a futon, woke up sore. They have a restaurant downstairs which was cool but stopped serving at 10 which would have been cool to know because we were starving. We were directed to a nearby supermarket and some restaurants. Most of the restaurants were closing so we went to the supermarket to pick up some food and of course come back to find no microwave or kitchen available to guest. Its setup as a hostel don't really have the main amenities. Good for a night
