Globetrotter Inns London

We found The Globetrotter Inn to be a good value clean hostel. The beds have curtains around them which is great and the rooms are clean and spacious. There is also a kitchen you can use with pots and pans etc... and a fridge to keep food in. There are even staff that do the kitchen washing up for you! Best hostel we have stayed at.

Went here to overnight before an interview, so specifically asked to be away from the bar and this was honoured.

Was in a four-bed single-sex dorm, which was clean, tidy, roomy but didn't quite have enough storage space for 4...

Found the bed great, but the pillow rubbish. The bed curtains and light are very good too.

Shower facilities + toilets etc were clean and there were plenty of them. I never queued either!

Breakfast is continental and served really early, which was great for me! I wasn't there long enough to check out the bar etc, but from what I did see, it looked like a good place to be.

Reception is friendly and helpful. All areas of the hostel are card access only, so secure, and the luggage room is huge. It cost L1 per day.

One small thing, my room was on the side of the tube line and so this made the windows rattle all the time, they are also not double glazed. The heating system is pretty obsolete too. However it is an old building with history, so I excused it!

The tube station is also really close by, which I found great!

I have recently spent a week and two days at this place. The hostel is located at a very strategic position...what I mean is its close to the suburbs like hounslow r southall...with direct buses just down the lane while well connected to central london with buses and hammersmith station just 7-8 stops away!

I quite liked the cleanliness and homely atmosphere..the kitchen is huge and very well equipped and you dont do dishes as well. Rooms are comfy too...the only hitch I have is there is no free internet or wifi in the rooms. its pricey at about 1.50 pounds an hour. having said that there are cafes nearby with free internet or 3 pounds for a days unltd internet as well.

the dining hall is pretty impressive as well with seating of about 200 people easily...i found bugs in one of the rooms initially but they changed my room immediately. another hitch would be that u have to top up your hostel card for buying anything from the shop in hostel to even the bar and using internet!

breakfast is free and is good..includes the usual bread, butter, selection of jams, milk, orange n apple juice, 2-3 cereals and tea/coffee.

Overall I would say this is a good hostel for the price paid..if you want free internet thn christopher inn is opp hammersmith station
