New Cross Inn Hostel

Too much noise coming from pub downstairs. Old building and not so clean. Basic quality breakfast.

room wasn't clean or ready when we checked in. this was sorted out later. but standards were very average. the staff are young, but seem friendly enough. very noisy area...night club close by. good area for food and pubs though.

Small rooms and double charged me. Could not fix it there. I have to email another person.

Friendly staff, bathrooms in particular could do with a big clean, breakfast is cereal and toast but can't complain for price. Local area has free parking with no restrictions.

If you love bad heavy metal music played until 2 am loudly enough to cause the entire building to shake, the heady thrill of extremely intoxicated people having screaming matches directly outside your broken windows, a smear of grey grime over every surface, and jockeying for space in the “lounge” among a dozen people with serious personal hygiene issues in order to use the wifi, then this place is for you! All others, avoid at all costs. The bathrooms are rank, the noise is horrible and in-ending. Free ear plugs are provided, but fail to provide relief when the furniture is throbbing with the bass and the drunkards outside are competing to out-shout each other. First night of our stay, at approximately 2am, a long term resident persistently knocked on our door and refused to leave until I looked for the nasal spray he was sure he left in our “private” room. Some staff were pleasant and helpful, some were, frankly, just not very bright. One refused to let us use the telephone for a local call. When we left, we asked for a taxi to be called. The staff member on duty had to make several calls before she could persuade a taxi to come into that neighbourhood. Horrible. I have stayed comfortably with my family in many hostels. This place was a complete shit hole, not to be recommended to anyone. The health authorities should be sent to this place.
