Blue Skies Hostel in Boende

Make sure you bring sliders for the shower, your own towel, shower gels, antiseptic wipes for surfaces. This place is real budget but it has good staff, and good music on an Friday and Saturday night. (So dont expect to go bed early in these nightsright next to Tulse Gill station and Brixton is down the road. Also during the summer Brockwell park is a short walk away. Try "perfect chicken shop oppsite" for fast food

Located just near Tulse hill station. It is above a pub/bar which is noisy during the weekends and festivals. If you are looking for affordable accommodation outside London for a group, go for it. Be aware of the bed bugs though 😅. They dont accept Scottish pounds. If you want to travel via underground, the nearest station is Brixton. Staff is polite and co-operative.

Best value for money around! how could anybody give it less than 5* It would be helpful to realize its card only payments before hand. Or then again I maybe I just missed it!Will stay again.

Do not stay here it is on hostel world as I write this stood outside in sheer horror bed bugs dirty mattress wrapped in cling film oud bar until two in the morning I swear I still got bugs crawling on me please do not stay here

This place is disgusting!

We walked in and turned right around. The bar was cute, the hostel was like a refugee camp. It was crowded, over booked, dirty, and smelled musty. The dorm looked like a college dorm with school belongings everywhere and the check-in wasnt even sure if the sheets had been changed.staff were very friendly and fully refunded me and were very understanding.

Room smells of mold. Difficulties with check in.

si bien la limpieza y el orden no prevalecen, es excelente si buscas un ambiente mas bien distendido y bohemio. el hostel cuenta con un bar abajo que abre todos los dias, y un patio amplio ideal para tomar algo y jugar al ping pong

A travel site listed the Blue Skies Hostel in London as one of the top places for backpackers and travelers. It was horrible. I was supposed to have my own room. I was placed with three other people who seemed like they were permanently living there because there was stuff (shoes, beauty products, foodstrewn all over the closets and the floor. I know this is gross but one corner of the room literally smelled like there was puke there. My flight arrived in the evening and unfortunately, I had no other arrangements so I had to stay there for the night. What was worse, I almost was not let back into my room after I went out to grab a bite for dinner because there was some sort of rave going on downstairs and the bouncer didnt realize I was a guest of the hostel. I guess on some nights they host huge loud bass booming parties at the pub. I had a horrible nights sleep and felt ill because of the smell in the room.The next morning I complained to the manager that I would be checking out early and could no longer stay there. He seemed to be aware of how bad conditions were and without my telling him my complaints he refunded me the total amount of what I paid (and maybe even a little more). I thought it was "hush" money so I wouldnt complain about the night I had. This was back in 2012 so I dont feel as guilty posting about it now.

Great pub..s##t hostel

Disgusting

Not a good experience for me. I booked a room for 4 women and got one very small for 6 people. It was actually a little bit scary in a way I cant explain. I would never recommend.

I thought this hostel would be too out of the way to enjoy downtown London that much but I was quite wrong. Blue skies is right off the Tulse Hill stop, literally 20 from the station. Its a motley crew there but the atmosphere is one of family and fraternity as everyone is quick with a greeting. Above a pub but that wasnt a problem at all.
