The ensuite shower and toilet do have any shelves for toiletries. Imagine having 6 of us placing our toiletries on the floor whilst we shower. Likewise for the toilet where we have only the space around the sink for toothbrushes, toothpaste and what not.

Great hostel. Front desk was nice and helpful. Room was clean but a little hot. Hostel is a little far from the city. Took an uber to the city but the hostel is in a nice quiet spot.

Great spot
Awesome place. It was a little further away for us but great likely for those who don’t want to be too amidst the hustle and bustle of a more central location. Easy train access via Canada Water station to go just about anywhere in Central London or the surrounding areas. Breakfast buffet was very inexpensive and fantastic! Great stay overall and would book again for sure if I was lookin to stay in that area.

Excellent stay at YHA London Thameside
Unbelievably friendly gentleman at the reception desk! Even though it's beyond the control of the hostel, other guests were equally respectful of shared space and discreet during "quiet" hours. I did not have trouble getting rest in a 6-person dorm. Room was very clean considering the circumstances and so was the kitchen - well organized and rules clearly laid out for everyone. Lots of in-house food options and things to rent for people travelling light. YHA London Thameside was what I needed for my stay but make sure it is for you as well as it is slightly on the outskirts of London (to my tourist eyes). However, I had no trouble getting to the center with nearby Overground and bus services!

Great budget stay.
Great hostel stay; good location; excellent staff and breakfast; typical hostel beds (but they were made!). 2 GBP for a towel, but the towels were big and good. Would definitely recommend it.
