Wake Up London Hostel Room

c Kathleen Crislip
Two of the best room features at the Wake Up London are high ceilings and tall windows -- rooms are flooded with light, showing nothing to hide: rooms are remarkably clean, if normal hostel-shabby.

Wake Up London hostel beds are mostly comfy enough and made up with sheets and one pillowcased pillow. Each bunk comes with a blanket.

My single room on a Spring, 2006, visit had two bunks, a chair, a closet and a non-working TV. Doors and windows lock from inside and curtains close fully; overhead light fixture is decent and lower bunks have a reading light (remember to carry a clip-on book light to read or journal by when sleeping in a hostel dorm).

Ask for a first floor (that's second floor to Yanks) to sleep like a baby -- the hostel bar's basement location means you can enjoy libations on site, and enjoy quiet sleep while others libate two stories away.

The Wake Up London hostel offers 500+ beds, most in four, six and eight bed dorms. Women-only dorms are available.
