Situated in London and within 2.4 km of London Bridge, Cricketers Hostel has a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. The property is around 2.4 km from Big Ben, 1.9 km from Waterloo Station and 2.6 km from Houses of Parliament. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. I appreciate for the laundry and they offer tides pod for free. They gave name stickers so we don’t take other people’s grocery by mistake. I borrowed their pen for writing my post card. Thank you !! I contact them on What’s App for the washroom clogged issue. The issue solved in 5 min. Which is great! It was a nice stay. Location was good too. Closed to attractions; grocery is 3 min walk. Closed to my friend’s place. I’m very satisfied with the stay. Will come back.

Set in London and with Brick Lane reachable within 1.4 km, Hostelle - women only hostel London offers a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is around 2.7 km from Liverpool Street Underground Station, 2.8 km from Victoria Park and 3.1 km from Tower of London. The accommodation features karaoke and a shared kitchen. Everything: the rooms and the common area with the equipped kitchen, the rooms felt quite private with the bed having curtains, sockets and a reading lamp. The location is just perfect, not far from the center and well connected via a few means of transportation. At the same time the area felt very much like safe and local. The staff is helpful and friendly. What I liked the most is that different activities are organized at the hostel to bring travelers together. I ended up making a few really nice acquaintances. I’m going to come back to the hostel next time I’m in London ☺️
