Onefam Waterloo 18-36 years old

Lambeth, London

The Onefam Waterloo has a lively atmosphere as a social party hostel designed for young backpackers and solo travellers. To ensure the best experience for our guests, we have implemented an age restriction policy. As most of our guests fall within the 18-36 age range, we regret to inform you that we are unable to process your reservation if you are above 36 years of age. After spending three nights at this hostel, I am happy to leave a full score review here for it ! I simply loved the place. The hostel has a very special inviting vibe, and makes you want to get to know other people, especially over the trips to the markets of London, the free dinner (which was perfect for a vegetarian person like me), the drinking games and bar outings which enable you to bond with other guests as well as the staff. The place was really clean, which is something I worry about a lot usually when I travel, but this was very well taken care of, which I really appreciated. Some particular points I enjoyed and I would like to point out : - I arrived earlier than my check in time, and Dan was so sweet to help me put my luggage in a safe spot until check in time. - After I checked out, I stayed at the hostel because I was working remotely that day, and everyone was super sweet and friendly regarding that. They allowed me to work in a dedicated space, which really meant a lot to me. - Lastly, I have to mention the staff again and again!! What a lovely group of people!! Dan, Ryan, Maya, Meg, Bert, and everyone else !!! You are amazing, thanks for making me feel like a part of your family during my short stay! Looking forward to seeing London (and you) again soon!
