Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I stayed for 3 nights with a friend of mine in a 6-bed dormitory room with a private bathroom. Staff were nice and friendly. Room is very basic, beds are ok, bathroom and showers are good. Location is excellent in the middle of all the action. shopping stores and clubs are within a walking distance in every direction from the hostel. Several nearby metro stations. I will definitely stay here again

OK as a budget, nice and clean, staff very friendly, excellent location for piccadilly circus, Oxford Street and Chinatown, bed however was not comfortable and a single wafer thin pillow was not good, but all in all, it was OK for the price, considering I've paid more for a hotel in London that was not as clean as the sohotel

It's not a hostel with all the bells and whistles but it's good if you are just looking for a simple place to stay. You get what you pay for with accommodation in London and I'd certainly recommend this place on location alone as it's super close to everything.

We were initially skeptical about staying in a hostel but our reservations were blown away as soon as we walked through the door, the hostel is situated in the center of everything, a short walk from Oxford Circus tube. The staff on reception are welcoming and informative, we were early and leaving our bags wasn't a problem...On our return check in was smooth and we were given a tour by Tom (Afro Hair) and he explained everything....OK our room was basic but it has everything you need whilst in London a clean bed to sleep in and the knowledge your safe in your surroundings! We wanted to enjoy ourselves but still not blow the bank account, Tom was so helpful and recommended a few places for us to go, we followed his recommendations and had a great night. We will be staying again next month as to experience London on a budget this place definitely provides value for money and a unique experience with its open social areas. See you in a few weeks @SohoHostel;xx

All members of staff were really friendly and helpful. Especially credit to a young guy with Afro hair he helped us with places and clubs to go which was very much appreciated as my group were students and not all places are open to students as we do like to party so the fact they were so helpful and energetic was a relief and made our trip definitely going to need to return sometime

I’ll preface this review by saying that I am not a hotel snob - premier inn suits me just fine. Nothing could’ve prepared me for when I walked into this ‘hostel’ - I think ‘hovel’ is more the correct term. First of all, all our room bookings were messed up. I had to negotiate the correct rooms for an hour and a half. There are roughly 75758586 things I’d rather be doing for an hour and a half, including picking up 900 pieces of dog poo, painting a fence in the rain, and rolling Sisyphus’ Boulder. It was so unbelievably laborious and time consuming, I’m half tempted to invoice Sohostel for my time. I get up to my room, not expecting miracles or even nice surroundings, but when I got to my room, I opened the door to what can only be described as some sort of squatters’ quarters. The bedsheets had marks on them, the skirting boards were caked in grime, the pillows looked like they’d been through some sort of industrial-strength roller, and the carpets were sticky, worn, and stained. Enjoyably, the bathroom in my room was ‘out of order. Do not use for any reason’. Considering the state of the ‘in order’ bathrooms, they needn’t have bothered asking me not to use for any reason - I really wasn’t planning on it. I was literally afraid for my safety, and ended up paying for a £110 taxi home rather than actually staying there. Beyond gross. Never ever ever again. I wouldn’t board my dog there.

I've been to this hostel a few times and it's position is fantastic. Really close to the theatre and a tesco and, previously, not fancy but clean. This visit the room was revolting. Beds not made or enough linen provided and I had to go and buy cleaning stuff to clean the room and the shower near our room. If I could have got another room I would have but everything in my price range was booked. There was ONE toilet for a whole floor that was plastered in feces and covered in urine. I had to go to another area to use a toilet and there was never any hand soap. Again had to get my own. The floor of the room was filthy, under the bed was rubbish and tissues, the sink had stains and hair all over it. I know there are on a skeleton staff but this was awful. I will never go there again.

The staff is really nice but my experience was not very good at all. The bed was clean but the room itself was not clean, the shower was terrible because you can't change the temperature so I take a shower with the water extremely hot. And the toilet for sure wasn't cleaned properly. I don't recommend it to anyone.
