Also stayed in Dopa hostel in Bologna and it was amazing!!! So small but really cozy and with a perfect location.

my partner and I, we usually stay at generators hostel at Tavistock place. as a couple we book a private room, and get a small room with a bunkbed and a sink/ tap in the room.

its fine for a weekend or so. done it a couple of times. it`s cheaper than hotels.

showers are down the hall though, but ok standard. must pay for breakfast.

the falafel shop down the street, and pizza house “ sophia” across the street are really good!! close to kings cross/ st pancrass stations. busses are good too if going to “west end-district” to the theatres.

Great suggestions and they definitely don’t look like the typical hostel.

Any recommendations for central London, UK?

I’ll check it out! Thanks!

YHA or HI hostels are always a good choice!
