I've stayed in hostels all over the world, including a really high tech one in Brussels and this one is the best I've experienced. There are several things that make it great: - The price is superb considering its central location and the fact the throw in a free dinner (delicious too) is incredible; - The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, far more than in other places where their freindliness can be a bit forced. - I love the integration of the old-fashioned British pub into the hostel as it brings together two quite differet worlds -- the old pub culture and the laid-back hostel culture. The pub is a bit noisy so not everyone will like it but it seems quite separate from the rooms. - The free breakfast is generous and very cheap, just 3. The coffee is particularly good. The hostel isn't very plush and you could find fault for a slightly shabby interior, but that sort of thing doesn't bother me at all as I know I'm getting such a good deal. I will make it my base every time I go to London. I used to stay at The Clink hostel near Kings Cross but the staff are almost hostile compared to this place; people in London are generally unfriendly, and particularly in hostels, and that's why I was so surprised by this place. And thanks top Rodriguez for agreeing to present the hostel on video. He is one of many volunteers who help out in exchange for accommodation.

I only used the pub downstairs. The Southampton Arms is an historic pub it being the local of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Unfortunately it's closing for good at the end of the month, if you want to see it please hurry.
The staff really makes the hostel; they're all super nice and welcoming, but my fave was Rita from the pub, she's just the sweetest! The hostel itself is very old so it might look dirty, but it was regularly cleaned, the bathroom was always impeccable whenever I used it. The dinners at night were simple but filling, the beds a bit squeaky, but we still slept fine. The Hostel is in a very quiet zone, but close enough to walk to a club or the market if you want. It's not in a very practical location, but since you have the subway 10 min away it's not the worst. It's a little bit too expensive for what it is and what they offer, but I got along so well with the staff and other guests that you kinda let it pass. All in all, a good stay \u003c3
This is a fun hostel for younger solo or duo travelers! They have morning tours everyday, and a bar/club every night! I especially enjoyed my tours with Maria and Malena to the food/antique market. Props to Alex, who hit the dance floor like a boss. Thanks Bernardo for running the show. Much love to all!
We had a wonderful stay at Hostel one camden ! The rooms & facilities are all you can expect in a hostel. What made it special was the free(!!) dinner which was delicious and the lovely staff! Andrea took us to a super fun pub crawl, she was so lovely she made sure everyone was having fun
Such a lovely hostel!! Awesome people, awesome place, awesome memories! I loved the pedicure with Sara :) I'll come back soon
Decent location if you don't mind a walk to Camden. Social activities everyday is the reason to come here! Pricey, but great security, helpful staff and social atmosphere. Management: Maybe put some sort of mini shelf on the back of the shower doors. There's no where to put your clothes when showing. Also a new solution for the permanent wrist bands you put on guests needs a rethink. They look pretty unclassy and to have HOSTEL written in plain sight on your wrist when trying to hit up cocktail bars and chat to people. Though, it was summer so covering it with a sleeve wasn't an option. But... I can see how it's good for security since no one who isn't staying would be able to get one... Tricky. Maybe elastic wrist bands could work?
This was the highlight of my trip to London! The staff is incredibly kind, fun, and inclusive. The group-dinners, tours, and games really helped guests build bonds and friendships. I made so many friends through Hostel One Camden and cannot wait to go back! To mention a few by name: Jake makes the BEST cheese toasties. Georgia is like a big sister and makes you feel at home the second you arrive. Matt (Thor) and Sequoia are fantastic bartenders, super social and fun! Tana and Charli are always ready to adventure and take you out for a fun night. The whole staff is amazing - love to everyone!
