Guest review excerpts copied word for word from each stay's own booking listing page.
“I think this was a great place to stay. It was clean and comfortable.”
“Had such a great stay here! The atmosphere is amazing, the staff are super friendly and welcoming, and it’s such an easy place to meet people and make friends.”
“An amazing place with such good vibes, amazing for solo travellers looking to make friends!! Staff were amazing and made sure everyone felt safe!”
“Very nice hostel with historic charm. Good location near metro lines.”

Prices on this site are the lowest rates seen on the sampled dates, quoted per night for rooms and apartments and per bed per night for hostel dorms. Dates and availability move the rate, so expect the booking page to show a different figure for the nights you choose.
No, you book on the listing itself, which you reach through an affiliate link from this site.
Hostels sell beds in shared dorms, and several also offer private rooms; capsule pods appear at one property here. Budget hotels sell private rooms, some with a shared bathroom, while aparthotels and apartments add a kitchen so you can self cater.
Where a listing says nothing about breakfast, a lift, a private bathroom or another facility, this site shows Not stated rather than guessing. The booking page carries the full details, so check it there before committing to a stay.
Every stay here is real and currently listed, read on the four booking sites this site compares: hostels, budget hotels, aparthotels and apartments from King's Cross to Greenwich. It is a selection rather than every cheap London stay, and from-prices on the cards run from £14 to £148.
Ratings come straight from each property's listing and keep that listing's own scale, either out of 10 or out of 5. Beside every score sits the review count behind it, so a score built on thousands of reviews is easy to tell apart from one built on a handful.
