Description
We are the cheapest and quirkiest hostel in East London! We have 192 beds in the middle of Shoreditch, the centre of London’s hipster and alternative cultures.
We have created a hostel with character and style unlike any other. We have loads of useful facilities, such as our own laundrette, a bar (with a discount for guests), WiFi and 24-hour reception.
However, we’ve also added some fun things to make your stay more memorable: we have table football, swings in some of the rooms, events in the evenings, a bar crawl every night, discounted tickets for many London attractions, a roof terrace and, finally, a pick-up for our East End tour departs from reception at 10:30am every day.
