Set in London and with Brick Lane reachable within 1.4 km, Hostelle - women only hostel London offers a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is situated 2.8 km from Victoria Park, 3.1 km from Sky Garden and 3.3 km from Liverpool Street Underground Station. The accommodation features karaoke and a shared kitchen.

Everything: the rooms and the common area with the equipped kitchen, the rooms felt quite private with the bed having curtains, sockets and a reading lamp. The location is just perfect, not far from the center and well connected via a few means of transportation. At the same time the area felt very much like safe and local. The staff is helpful and friendly. What I liked the most is that different activities are organized at the hostel to bring travelers together. I ended up making a few really nice acquaintances. I’m going to come back to the hostel next time I’m in London ☺️

    i couldn’t stay there because the host was dishonest about the features of the property. Firstly she lied that it’s a private bathroom which was false , and it’s her family home with lots of people living there ! which is UNSAFE for guests and travellers!

    No frills here but amazing value considering the London postcode. Literally 2 mins from the town centre..lovely. If it's a budget room you want this is fine. Cheap as chips and a buffet breakfast, what's not to like.
