As a solo traveler I appreciated the possibility to stay in a female room.The staff was friendly, check-in was quick.Breakfast is not included, you pay extra for it. But if you pay it's worth it, in style of buffet and you can choose what you like.I would recommend packing a sleeping mask.Great is location near Liverool Street Station, by walk mayby 10-15 minutes or less.When I will go to London again, I will be choosing this place again.

Had a great time! Location was great and super close to public transport. Beds were private and super comfortable. Pub does get super crowded from 5-7 so just a heads up! Everything was super clean.

We arrived on the 06/09 (Friday), obviously busy as it operates as a pub downstairs, we knew this, however the reception for the hostel is in the far right corner of the pub, we were required to wait around 5 minutes before someone could see us as they were all busy pouring drinks for their patrons, we had to squeeze through their patrons who were standing at the bar in order to confirm our details with the barmaid and check in, hard to hear her with all the chatter that was going on around us.The rooms were clean, the rooms seem sound proof as you cannot hear much downstairs unless you have a window open.The shower requires some ventilation as there is black mould around the roof which was unsafe.The stair case leading up to the room was crooked and unsafe and the staircase is extremely thin, as most are in Europe, can be a hazard if you're carrying a heavy bag.We were let down by the staff upon checking in and checking out.

It's a hostel not a hotel. Don't expect towels but you can hire them from the bar, £10 with £2 back when you return it. …

Bed bugs! I was bit here. 3-4 Welts on my body day after sleeping here. Staff is kind of rude and has a general “meh” reaction. Area is surrounded by business people and the patrons are too, which kind of kills the vibe. I would avoid simply because I was bitten here by BED BUGS.

Attended a retirement party in City of London. Location of Flying Horse was great for staggering back. Room was good size, clean and well looked after with comfortable bed. Only down side was the 3 flights of stairs after a good night out !! Paid for breakfast , european buffet , well presented and plentiful, staff very helpful and refilled items in good time.Good value for short term stay if you are happy for a hostel environment.

Super friendly crew in an incredible location. I had a private room, which included an en-suite bathroom. The shower was small, but had great water pressure. Considering the prices of hotels in London, this is an incredible opportunity. The bar downstairs is also great, and has really good deals for guests of the hostel.I wish my stay were longer than one night - there seems to be so much going on at the hostel!

I had an overall wonderful stay and would stay here again. I felt safe as a solo traveler. The dorms have private curtains, which was a really nice touch, and there was plenty of space. The bathrooms are also spacious with two showers and a private toilet, all locking. The bathroom could have used a shelf or two for clothes, etc. The location is fantastic - close to the tube, attractions and lots of restaurant options. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, with the exception of one less than hospitable gentleman working the early morning shift. I was relieved to find that his attitude/personality was an anomaly at the establishment.

First time staying at a hostel and was a little apprehensive as to what to expect. Staff were helpful and welcoming and the room a facilities were clean. The clientele were business types (not what I was expecting). Only drawbacks were the storage, though a large cage, they sure are noisy ( would hate to wake a guest up) and the bar gets pretty full so if you want food from the menu, I suggest you order early.

Very friendly staff, clean rooms, was especially pleased to see how clean the bathroom and toilet were. Clean bed linen, duvet cover, dorm room. Loved the security of having a female-only dorm, curtains on each bunk bed for privacy was brilliant. Excellent security, felt very safe. Also loved the built-in charger for mobiles, for each individual bed as well as USB port. Excellent WiFi. All in all, a satisfying experience. 😊
