Our take
This hostel is best suited for budget-conscious solo travellers or groups of friends who appreciate a lively, social environment and don't mind the buzz of a bar downstairs. The free breakfast and Wi-Fi are definite perks, adding value to your stay. Those seeking a quiet, secluded retreat might find the atmosphere a bit too energetic, but for an affordable and fun base near Waterloo, it's an excellent choice.
- Embrace the social vibe and make the most of the bar downstairs for meeting fellow travellers.
- Take advantage of the free breakfast to fuel up before a day of sightseeing in London.
- Walk to the London Eye and other nearby attractions to save on transport costs and soak in the city.

Why guests love itThe Walrus Bar and Hostel sits above a popular bar and offers dorm beds plus a single private room, so it is not where I would send a family with young children. Adults on a budget get free breakfast, free Wi-Fi and towels included, and the London Eye is a short walk away. A family with older teenagers who can book the private room might manage, but evenings will be lively downstairs. Rated 8.2 by more than 1,300 guests, it suits sociable travellers best.
