Wake up London Hostel Review With Photos

A good kitchen means a lot in a hostel, and the Wake Up London hostel's big basement kitchen is pretty fine. With 500+ beds in the building, the kitchen gets a workout and the readiness level shows it: plenty of fridges, counter space and utensils.

Breakfast and boxed lunches are available for purchase in the a.m., and a machine near the kitchen dispenses coffee in various forms for less than a pound per cup (half price 6:00-10:00 a.m.). A basement lounge provides dining tables and chairs, a TV and a magazine rack.
