Our school trip to London was a great success. We stayed at the Yha Thameside and had a great room. A room with a a view of the Thames. "Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty..." Unfortunately I lost my travel-bag with my ID, Telephone, money etc, and that caused... More

I led a school trip to London for 2 nights and have stayed at YHA Thameside for the last 3 years. Location is great for us, short walk to Rotherhithe Overground where group travel tickets can be purchased cheaply, then journeys into central London with one change. The general area is quite quiet and better in my opinion for school... More

We stayed in a 6 berth room 2 adults 3 children. Don't expect the Ritz its a youth hostel and cheap. Nice view of the Thames, close to the o2. Its bunkbeds, shower room and toilet. Lots of noise doors slamming and banging of deliveries. Get a good nights sleep before you arrive other than that can't fault for price... More

I stayed at this youth hostel as part of a school group, after reading the reviews on here I was initially quite worried about visiting the hostel but i can honestly say it wasn't that bad. I stayed in a room of 10 and it was a good size with two bathrooms which were incredibly useful for a room of... More

I stayed here with my 10 yr old daughter for a weekend in Feb 2013. Excellent location with safe and fast connections to central London. It was still mid-winter when we visited (and snowing) but I imagine Rotherhithe is a great place to be when the trees have leaves etc. Lovely riverside walks.Staff were very friendly and helpful. Obviously the... More

Cheap cheerful and good for young people. Stayed as part of a group all seemed happy with facilities food was average. Warm and basic. Staff friendly. Secure and easy access to the overground for central London (30 mins to covent garden)

Stayed here with a large group. Booking was easy, the staff were super helpful. They let us visit in advance to show us the rooms. And they helped with anything they could whilst we were there – even printing off tickets for us on their printer. You can pay for wifi if you need it, and there is a bar... More

I stayed here in Feb 2013 with a school group of 20 students and staff. We were pleasantly surprised with what we got for our money. The rooms were basic, but clean and adequate for our needs. Location was ideal, just a short, direct walk from the tube station, with a short ride into central london. Staff were helpful and... More

We needed a cheap night in London after booking to see a show at the O2, which is just two tube stops away. We found it easily, it's in a really convenient location (for the price) to get to places all over London. It will be less desirable to anyone who hasn't stayed in a hostel before, but we have... More
