Hostelle London

Recently booked a last minute night in London. Hostelle was not only very affordable but women's only! I saw a few mixed reviews, but honestly thought it was in my top hostel experiences! It's certainly not a new and flashy hostel, but a comfortable, well thought out and safe space for women to stay. The 14-bed dorm I stayed in was not very spacious but I had a curtain and the bunk bed was sturdy and didn't rock about. The showers and toilets were clean. Both receptionists I came across were really relaxed and friendly. As for location in London, it's a little way out. But it's very close to Bethnel Green tube station (2-min walk) and there are a couple of very cool beer and wine spots within 5-minute walking distance. Overall just feels very comfortable being around women who are there for the same reasons as you. Will defo be back! Many thanks.

Very disappointing stay I booked Hostelle in London and unfortunately had a terrible experience. The hostel was dirty, and both receptionists I interacted with were unhelpful and surprisingly indifferent. Not the supportive, welcoming atmosphere you would expect from a women-only hostel. When I arrived early on Friday morning, the receptionist stayed on her phone, offered no guidance, and barely acknowledged me. When I got to the room, there was no heating, and later, when I went to shower, the water was ice-cold. The bathroom was freezing, making the whole experience extremely uncomfortable. For a place that advertises safety, comfort, and understanding for women, this hostel fell far short. I cannot recommend Hostelle. Even basic cleanliness, warmth, and respectful staff interaction were lacking. After staying there for 2 hours, I ended up booking another place that was way better than Hostelle. You can see in the pictures: 1) There was a dirty Kleenex left on the floor right next to my bed — completely unacceptable. 2) There was what looked like hair and even an old pistachio on the floor right next to my bed — completely unacceptable.
