Situated in London, just 2.5 miles from the O2 Arena, Davies Court offers self-catering accommodation and features an on-site gym. London City Airport is just 4 miles away, and takes 20 minutes on the tube.

The room was spacious and well equipped, there was a safe and a fridge in the room. The room was very quiet, I heard no noises from other rooms or from outside. It's a very short walk to West Ferry DLR. The use of the kitchen made my stay even more comfortable. There was also a gym and laundry facility. All the staff were friendly and helpful. It was the best value I could find in London. I would definitely stay here again.

At the hostel, each room has a desk. Featuring a shared bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Bethnal Green beds to stay also offer free WiFi. At the accommodation each room comes with bed linen and towels.

The room was lovely. I stayed in room 4. There was no fridge upon arrival but after speaking to the office, they brought one in my room within half an hour! The room as well as the whole hostel was sparkling clean. The very best of basic :) Just make sure you take a couple of bin bags with you as there’s no bins except one in the kitchen and some earplugs if you’re a light sleeper and you’ll sorted :)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    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.
