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!

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!

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.

Great for such a central hostel at a good price
The hostel was how you would expect and I managed to get a decent sleep for a very early start at work. The bunk bed could have done with a little bit more overhead room (couldn't sit) but I was only there to sleep so not a bother.

Not worth it. 12 beds in tiny room. Feels like a jail......Even with earplugs, too noisy, door makes loud noises when opening and shuts on its own, tiny cage locker, NO REFRIGERATOR to keep food for staff otherwise POLITE STAFF

i stayed there for sure.
the only sour note of this stay was at the very end as i was leaving the hostel at 4:30am on a Monday and the overnight clerk wasn't very helpful with checkout. he told me to leave the key card on the bar top, which i did, then i asked him how to go about unlocking the door, and he eventually walks over, then reaches up to a lock as if it were completely obvious to me in a dark room. very rude guy. but everyone else (almost everyone else) was stellar.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
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

Bad hostel pub
So I ordered teo beds to sleep in for two nights. I normally never slep on a hostel but wanted to give it a try. First it seamed fine. We got everything done. But then you have to buy a locker for your “closet” and have to rent a bathing towel. So it doesn’t even make any sense to me for “saving” money. The location was great and the food was also ok. But overall terrible service. They had overbooked the rooms, so at 12 at night a staff member wroke us up. Because some Russians had taken ours so we took those at the other side and no one had claimed them. So we didn’t think there was an issue. And there was two beds left over.. They hadn’t any organizing or control over their own system. I booked a real hotel because I didn’t want to ever waste my time or money on this ever again. And hope that nobody else ever does
