Location exceptional. Lambeth North tube station and Waterloo station near by, so is the south bank. Staff nice and helpful.

The Steam Engine was very friendly and secure. Guests were all well mannered and a mix of decent people. This was my first time staying in a hostel so I was a little bit apprehensive about leaving luggage in a room with strangers. But there were no issues, I could have left my large suitcase in the luggage store, but I just didn't feel the need. Beds were comfortable and the room was warm. You couldn't have asked for a better environment. The late night pizza was very tasty, the breakfast was top notch and very affordable.

It was very clean and comfy. Top bunks are a bit uncomfortable (lots of climbing up and down), but other than that everything was excellent. Very clean, excellent value for money, excellent location with a tube station just a few minutes away. There's also the Imperial War Museum which is pretty much at the same distance as the underground station. The 24/7 reception is nice, and you can actually check out later than 10 a.m., provided that you pay a fee of £5. Overall I think it's pretty much the best you can get at such a reasonable price in such an amazing area.

The staff at the hotel were so nice and friendly and the hotel it self was clean perfect for people who may want to stay in the Uk , I highly recommend this hotel for anyone who plans to visit the Uk and perfectly located for you to visit near by tourist attractions it close by the Big Ben, London eye and other spots you may want to explore highly recommend it.

I truly enjoyed my stay in The Steam Engine hostel! Its location is absolutely perfect, it’ll take you 10 mins walking to get to the London Eye or Big Ben. It’s also well connected in terms of transportation. There are lots of bars (including the one downstairs) and supermarkets in the area. It’s very convenient that the reception and bar are open 24/7. The staff is really friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and spacious enough, as well as the bathrooms.

I stayed in a 9-bed dorm for one night. The hostel is centrally located, about a 30-minute walk from my purpose of visit which was great. The mattress was a bit thin, but the room and shared facilities were clean, including the toilet and three showers on my floor. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, which I appreciated. Overall, it was an okay stay and they offer free luggage storage after checkout (though I didn’t use it), which s a nice perks, especially as some hostels charge for this service.

Excellent location just a few minutes walk to Lambeth North and/or Waterloo. Really nice vibe in the pub below, open 24 hours for any assistance needed. Modern room and facilities with very good showers located close to the dormitory. Will be booking again.

Friendly people, nice staff, clean room and the pub with the breakfast was cool. Also the location is very good, most of the venues are in about 20-30 minutes by bus or less by with the underground. It's worth a walk in the area!

The location is great, the staff is super helpful, big shout to Dan and the guy that helped me take my huge luggage up the stairs at 10pm the night I checked in (sorry I don't remember his name :(, the kitchen is 24hrs, so is the bar for the guests and reception

Location was fabulous, less than 5 minutes' walk from Lambeth North tube station, ten minutes to Waterloo, but far enough off the main road that the noise of traffic wasn't really an issue, even during morning rush hour. The bar is superb, with an excellent selection of beers, lagers, ales, and ciders all a little bit different from what you'd find in regular chain bars. And the food is excellent, and reasonably priced (especially with the 10% residents' discount). Nothing like coming back late in the evening after a gig or show and sitting down with a really good deep pan pizza and a pint.
