Did you know
The bar downstairs, WomBAR, is built around a counter crafted from 500-year-old oak, and the hostel has won a HOSCAR (the hostel industry's own award) for its quality.
Local tip
All dorm rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and personal lockers, worth knowing since that's not standard at this price point. It's an easy walk to Brick Lane and Shoreditch for the evening.
