Our take
This hostel is ideal for budget-conscious travellers and solo adventurers looking for a social atmosphere. The on-site pub and restaurant add convenience and a touch of local flavour, making it easy to meet other guests. Those who prefer private rooms or a quieter environment might find the mixed-sex dorms and lively pub less suitable. It's a great base for exploring London without breaking the bank, especially for those who appreciate a classic pub experience.
- Take advantage of the free breakfast to fuel up before a day of sightseeing.
- Spend an evening in the classic pub to soak up the local atmosphere and meet fellow travellers.
- Utilise the free Wi-Fi to plan your daily excursions and stay connected.

Why guests love itThe Steam Engine Waterloo by Publove is a laid-back hostel above a classic pub, with mixed-sex dorms only, so I would not recommend it to families with children. It is designed for budget travellers and groups of adults: breakfast and Wi-Fi are free, and the pub, restaurant and bar are part of the stay. The building is smoke-free. Rated 8.4 by more than 1,500 guests, it is a strong choice for solo travellers, while families should look at a hotel with private rooms nearby.
