PubLove @ The Crown, Battersea

The staff were very friendly and with a 24-hour bar with evening entertainment below was helpful for soft drinks if the local shop was shut. The bar and the building look amazing and to stay lets you think about the history within the venue.

Staff (Kailey&Peter) were exceptional with a concern with another guest being inappropriate. She kindly moved me to a women only dorm for the rest of my stay that made my day. Thank you! Zack too is a great person there too up for a natter. The showers were good and plenty of toilets. Push button on the shower was a pain though. Would recommend this hostel. Some big mesh cage lockers for large backpacks is great.

Fantastic location, great bar, everywhere was easy to access by the bus which had a stop almost right outside. Some decent local places too within walking distance. It was excellent value. Food served here was really good too. The guys running the bar are such a good laugh. Polite and friendly and just generally really good people to be around. The bar manager was such a lovely guy, and the lad working with him (from Liverpool originally) was just fabulous. They made a great team. It is a hostel so anyone expecting a hotel would be disappointed. It is exactly what is advertised at a great price- particularly considering what we paid for two nights over a weekend! The beds were comfortable enough, the bedding was clean and smelt clean. The rooms are spacious enough. There’s lockers to store your stuff in and plug sockets with USB ports. There were a lot of stairs up to the rooms, which was fine before we walked the marathon (there for a charity event) after it was regrettable. However I would and will 100% return for a decent night out. The bar itself had a great mix of people throughout our stay. Some locals who were just lovely people to talk to. Others people who were also staying at the hostel, and great people to be around. A really lovely time in London spent socialising and having some fun.

Just wondering why they photocopied my driving license and kept the copy.This is not allowed.So now I have to let DVLC know

Property is accessible to city centre just one bus ride. NOTE: expect london bus to always dysfunctional but theres alternative route you can take to not waste your time.
