New Cross Inn Hostel

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.

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.

Not bad

rooms are clean close to tube

They don't provide ear plugs... it's above a pub that had an open mic night. Overall it's a cheap place to crash. That includes a basic breaky.

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

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.

Friendly staff, my room was clean and ok. But shared washrooms are so so. Toilets didn’t flush properly sometimes or shower didn’t come out well. was weak. But not all times so just fine

Good overall. When you do renovations next please put in mixing taps for the sinks/wash basins instead of separate hot and cold taps. That is the only issue.

Pros: staff was extremely friendly, you have run of the house - 2 kitchens, 1 common room, not crowded, clean private room (bunk beds) with worn but comfy linens, nice to have a sink. Room felt safe to leave valuables in because there was only a room key. Close to rail stations, great coffee down the street at Red Lion Coffee Co. and excellent Caribbean food across the street. Easy walk to Greenwich area. Clean towels provided. Cons: LOUD right on the street, earplugs don’t even drown it out and it was 80º at night when we were there, but at least there was a window. Pretty sketchy people walking around, especially in the evening. No lobby space, old building, bathrooms always had a wet towel on the floor. No hot water in one of the showers but everything was clean and if it wasn't, I am sure the management would do something right away. Instant coffee and cereal for breakfast. No shampoo, pretty lumpy mattresses but if you are tired enough that doesn’t matter. Pub below was interesting, with a rather loud crowd, but had no food.
