Our take
The Walrus is a cheerful budget base near Waterloo, set above a popular bar. Dorm beds and a private room come with breakfast, Wi-Fi and towels included, and the main sights are on foot. Light sleepers should bring earplugs. An 8.2 rating from nearly 1,400 reviews is good for a hostel of this type.
- Take advantage of the free breakfast to fuel up before a day of sightseeing.
- Head downstairs to the bar in the evening to meet fellow travellers and enjoy the atmosphere.
- Utilise the free Wi-Fi to plan your daily excursions and stay connected.

Why guests love itThe Walrus is a lively hostel above a popular bar near Waterloo, with dormitory beds and a private room. Breakfast, Wi-Fi and towels are included, and major sights and transport links are a short walk away. The bar downstairs sets the tone, so I would not choose it for young children, but it is a fun, affordable base for friends travelling together. Guests rate it 8.2 from almost 1,400 reviews.
