Guys it is up to you!!!If you don't want to ruin your journey in London,which is so amazing,then avoid hootananny hostel.It is an old,dirty and noisy place.You cannot sleep until 3 in the morning because of the music playing downstairs.The rooms are quite good,but you don't have enough space anyway,because there aren't any wardrobe even if you are a longtermer.The...

This place was really cheap and it was close to Brixton Academy (for a gig) so it met my basic requirements. My friend and myself had different rooms - no big deal. But we each stayed in a dorm which was, at best, a tip. Several people actually live there together and so it was more like sharing a bedroom... More

I stayed here for four nights recently. The pub below is great, but i happened to stay at a point where I was a little over partying, so it was all a little overwhelming. Located in brixton, it's easy enough to get into London, but not the nicest area. The staff are friendly, although two of them (a couple it... More

It's not the cleanest or most beautiful hostel I've been to but it's adequate and the price can't be beaten. It's close to Brixton Station which is at the end of the Victoria line, making it easy to get around London. Transit passes are more expensive if you are traveling to zones farther from city centre, so Hootananny is good... More

I have to say that I had the best sleep in this hostel. All the long term residents are really nice and the staff are excellent, the pub downstairs is handy too if you're after a "night out". I think what people need to consider when booking a night in this hostel is that it isn't just a hostel, it's... More

Thats all I can say... first I thought it was a mouse but it wasn't... it was a man. Cant say I'll be going back in a hurry. Good if you want to get really, really wasted.

I stayed there for one night. It was cleaner and warmer than I expected, so bonus points on that. The manager is very friendly. Too bad one of the staff members entered the dorm at 1 am, demanding loudly for people to tell her if they were sleeping (we were so far), then ended up having loud sex in the... More

I cant understand why people have reviewed this hostel so badly. It is quite old but it's not run down or anything and is decorated nice. The bed was comfortable. staff are welcoming. I thought the price was cheap and it included wifi,locker, breakfast and there is a free dinner on friday! It was first time for me travelling solo... More

I've stayed in a lot of hostel around the world and so far I can consider this one as the worst. Not easy to find since there's no hostel sign, you have to go into the pub and ask to find the way to the dorm. The stairs leading to the dorms smell like fried rotten food since at the... More
