The London Wayfarer Hostel
The London Wayfarer Hostel
We offer affordable, fun, safe accommodation for young backpackers and students, right along the River Thames.
Really great hostel that puts you right in the center of the sights, next to the train, buses, all of it. Solid bunk rooms though there’s a lot of stairs to get to them and they could use curtains, great private rooms if you book early enough to snag one at a nice price. Kitchen / community wasn't as strong but the staff rocks, the place is in the right spot, it's fantastic.

The building itself is fantastic, a massive spiral staircase that leads quite nice dorms rooms. Bathrooms are clean with good showers. The staff are absolutely lovely, when I asked if I could extend they apologized profusely as they were fully booked and kept me updated in case anyone cancelled last minute. Towels are cheap to rent too. When I go back to London I am definitely staying again!

I stayed here for 3 weeks over a month. The team does a great job of keeping the hostel clean, as the dining areas, kitchen and bathrooms were always spotless. There is a nice dining and chill out area. The kitchen is fully equipped with enough room for refrigerated and frozen items. The beds are comfortable and there are decent sized lockers in the rooms.

My partner and I stayed in a private room, and it was amazing - basically a hotel room! Spacious room with a table, two chairs, side tables, tv + towels. The private rooms were in a separate building to the main hostel - lots of stairs if that would bother anybody. Bathrooms clean and had hand towels and soap. Also separate kitchen in the private rooms building. Still had access to all common areas in other building. Some noise overnight given location, but to be expected - earplugs needed.

Had a nice few nights at this hostel! Location is 10/10 - steps from train station and a lot of the main attractions are within walking distance (including great bars and clubs!). Bathrooms were modern. Not a very social vibe to the hostel but people were friendly. Beds were very comfortable and it was helpful having lockers big enough for our backpacks. Overall, good stay!

The place was great! Super close to the train station, literally up the stairs across the street, and directly on your left. The rooms were spacious, my group of 8 never felt crowded or cramped in our 9 person room. Because you are so close to everything, there is a bit of noise at night, but it never bothered me or anyone in my group that I know of. There is no elevator, but the stairs aren't steep, but we were on the second floor. Overall great hostel, would recommend.

From Charlton Station, head north up Charlton Church Road. Turn Left at the Anchor and Hope, we are the forth building on the right.
From the Anchor and Hope bus lane (472), head north at the roundabout and then turn left. You’ll find us on the righthand side, opposite Sainsbury’s Thameside
