The Dictionary Hostel, Shoreditch, London

good location near a lot of bars and restaurants. close to bus a stations and walking distance (9min) from nearest tube stations.

Staff is so cool the only down side is the shower too small for a big man like me i was stuck everytime i shower like a hippo.

Great location. Comfy dorms. Bit noisy. Party atmosphere.

Propre et agréable, pratique pour un week-end seul, très facile de rencontrer des personnes du monde entier, dans les chambres, visites organisées ou simplement dans la cuisine ou l'accueil. Le personnel est très ouvert et sympa, à la cool !

the breakfast time a bit late and the eating place is small. People were all packed in the small area and jostle around for food and drinks which makes it difficult to move around the area and it seems with a bit of smell. We have to clean up our own utensils after use. Hope the breakfast time can be stretched and better arrangement in the logisticst etc..no wifi in the room and have to pay for it even though it's 1 pound a day. overall, the staff are helpful and friendly.

初めてユースホステルに泊まりました。特に不自由もなく、ルームメイトと色んな交流が出来ました。部屋にシャワーがついてるのは特に良かったです。またロンドンに来る機会があれば利用させていただきます。

La ubicación es perfecta considerando las estaciones al rededor, esta justo a unos metros de Old Spitafields que es para muchos una de las mejores experiencias dentro de la ciudad.

En lo personal creo que podrian mejorar algunos aspectos y aun asi conservar su precio, entre estos: el lobby, algunas áreas comunes y de esparcimiento/convivencia para no tener esa sensacion de "encierro". La ciudad en si no es muy amable con el turista y pienso que si eso se puede lograr en el sitio de descanso seria genial.

Saludos desde Mexico !!

Very good. Thank you!

Un ottimo ostello con personale molto gentile e una posizione perfetta, a due passi dal centro e dalla metro e molto vicino a Shoredich. Consigliato!

This Hostell it's very cool and very clean You can go out and find a lot of people in the street. Nearby there is brick lane and underground and overground.

Ostello dall ottima posizione (quartiere pulito allegro, con diversi bar e supermercati in zona e a meno di 10 min da Liverpool Street) piuttosto pulito (il bagno lo era molto e credo sia la cosa più importante è abbastanza carino, sicuramente particolare. La nostra camera era una doppia che avevamo chiesto con bagno condiviso ma invece era un camera e tanto meglio! Camera molto piccola (ci sta il letto e un piccolo comodino) bagno invece molto comodo e ampio. La nostra era molto tranquilla e non dava sulla strada. Staff abbastanza gentile ma migliorabile. In linea di massima lo consiglio in quanto per essere a Londra il prezzo é basso e hai colazione inclusa e cucina disponibile (e visto quanto costa mangiar fuori non guasta)

Brilliant for young people or just people who like having a good time and unique settings. Great value. Thanks to the lovely blonde on reception too!

Très agréable séjour en chambre de 4. Le petit-déjeuner est de qualité et l'auberge est géniale pour rencontrer des voyageurs et travailleurs de tout pays! La cuisine et l'espace fumeurs sont notamment les meilleurs endroits pour faire connaissance, la soirée pourra ensuite se poursuivre dans l'un des multiples bars/boîtes avoisinants.

colazione scarsa. poco spazio in cucina per mangiare

ロンドンの宿はどこも高く感じたため、一人旅な事もあり初めてこういった相部屋を利用してみました。

男女混合16人部屋で、男女率はほぼ半々。常に満員でしたが宿泊客皆慣れてる感じで、4泊通して特にストレスなく過ごせました。荷物もベット下に大き目の鉄カゴ(南京錠持参でカギしました)があり、割と楽に管理出来ました。トランクはさすがに入りそうにありませんでしたが。

他の評価でやや気になっていた設備の不備(トイレットペーパーがよく切れてる、シャワーのお湯が出ない等)は特になく、掃除も毎日されて(連泊でも希望すればシーツを変えてもらえるようでした)いて清潔でした。

スタッフも皆にこやかで接しやすくとても親切。24時間誰かが受け付けに居て、何でも聞けて助かりました。

wifiは、無料のものがありますが受け付け付近までしか電波がなく、共有スペース及びベッドルームでは有料版(24時間で1ポンド、受付でワンタイム・パスワードをその都度買うかんじ)しか届いてません。

特に記載がなかったものの朝食は込で、朝8〜10時？まででした。キッチンは食事時は結構混み合ってますが便利。食器もありましたが、何故かフォークが少な目で誰かが食べ終わるのを待つ姿も見受けられました。食材は近くのスーパー(old street駅までの途中)で買ってこればばっちりできますが、冷蔵庫の空きスペースを探すのがちょっと一苦労。

場所は、リバプールストリート駅から歩いても15〜20分、オールドストリート駅だと10分くらい。バスも何本も通ってるのでどこへでも特に苦労なく行けましま。ナイトバスも、オールドストリートへ乗り継げるのが必ず見つかったので、夜遊びも不便・危険を感じる事なく楽しめました。

Fantastic

highly recommended :) nice place, nice people :)

Fantastic location! The staff did a great job of keeping the Dictionary running through its own organized chaos. A busy place, in the heart of Shoreditch surrounded by bars, it's certainly not the place if you're looking for a quiet room and lots of rest. The Dictionary is for the party-traveller that wants a bed to crash in that's just a stumble away from the club.

Room too small

Good place to bunk in for a few nights. Good: Liverpool Street can be easily reached by foot. Bad: some dorms are next to the courtyard, which means that it's likely to hear people shouting until late at night. As for the rest, if you make a reservation in a hostel you can't expect the Ritz, especially if you're staying in a dorm. Staff were kind and helpful. Maybe the price for dorms might be a bit lower, but it's London we're talking about.

Bus line is just infront of the hostel. However underground is 15min walk. Everything is fine, just the room is not sound proof. Can try!

Worst hostel I've ever stayed at. Yes it is clean, but I'll never be back again.

Amazing hostel!

Great location, in a very cool part of town with easy access to public transport. The hostel itself has a really nice vibe and the Staff are amazing, very friendly and helpful.However, if you have difficulty with stairs or dont like small spaces, parts of the hostel (especially the shower rooms and toilets) are a little cramped.

Hip area, friendly and easy going people, rooms and the kitchen are fairly clean, like their brekky in the morning, worth that price :)

A very noisy hostel. There is a room to hang out which is placed in the middel of the hostel. People partyed and made lots of noise until 2-3 am on a Mondag and Tuesday night which made it very hard to sleep. The staff didn't take any action although is sais it should be quiet earlier.

Was a nice hostel with new comfortable beds and a good social area. Great location for the shoreditch area walking distantce to the brick lane markets. Would probably stay there again. Staf were very friendly

Un po' fuori mano, ma nel complesso siamo stati bene...

Pros: location in Shoreditch

Cons: luke warm water only (when it works) and the staff. Saying hello to people who come in doesn't hurt anyone. And the only small issue I had was poorly handled by a non-friendly dude who basically just nodded. I suggest that you number your beds. This will avoid confusion, waking up people at 1am or mad guys who find their stuff on the floor because someone thought the bed was free.

Overall our stay was worth the price: cheap bed, cheap service.

The owner needs to repair a lot of the toilets and shower. The staff is doing their best with what they got.

good hostel but mean cancellation policy

One of the best I've stayed in. Period

Perfect style good location but some suggestions

1) the beds should be numbered so there will be no confusion Inside room ( some boys entered and in a 6 bed they used our beds thinking they were available )

2) the window of the shower at 3 level should be repaired ... It was or all opened or closed and not opened a little :)))

There were several issues with the bathroom. Toiletpaper missing and a blocked drain. Forcing me the wash my hair in the sink.

The staff was very unhelpful!

A very good hostel in a good spot. Just need to walk around 10 mins to get to a great tube station.

Most of the staff were great, there was one that might have been new but couldn't answer any questions I had about getting to places which is a bit annoying.

Overall very clean and friendly environment and would definitely stay there again.

Good staff, friendly hostel

Had a great stay there, easy to get in touch with people from all over the world. Good place and staff is super friendly :)) nightlife's crazy in shoreditch ! honestly, i already wanna go back to the dictionary again :)

A huge let down from the previous experience with you:

stayed in a room off the new courtyard. The room had so many beds crammed in it, I will make sure I book a smaller room in the old part of the building next time. Also needs a mirror in the toilet and the sink is unreasonably small. Just washing my face was barely possible.

New breakfast area was horrendous, I'm so sad we're crammed down there now. There is no where near enough space for that many people to move around each other and make breakfast however the bagels are good!

Please please number the beds or have some way of tagging a bed as taken/allocated WITH A DEPARTURE DATE.

Nothing worse than struggling to find the bed that hasn't been slept in and to be woken up in the middle of the night by someone who says you're in their bed. This happened, I hardly got any sleep. Reception just offered them clean sheets and the hope the same doesn't happen to them in their new bed. Heard someone talking at breakfast that they experienced the same thing.

Bar is good though, appreciate the discount. Love the design of the place.

Great - clean and bright and new, lockers under beds. Staff helpful, good atmosphere and good location for hanging in shoreditch / spitalfields (obviously a tube ride in for centre city). I'd recommend a smaller dorm as the larger ones on ground floor can be too noisy / heavy on the partying. A bit of street noise but you're right in the centre of things so to be expected. The showers in some of the new rooms are bizzarely set up - barely a few inches between glass shower door and wooden main door.

The hostel was super tidy and all new and shiny. Unfortunately the still ongoing renovations were a bit of a nuisance. The bar next door had a seriously loud bass going on but luckily it closed by midnight. The atmosphere was super relaxed and I met a bunch of lovely people there. Overall, one of my best hostel experiences - Would deffo stay another time.

Great position, but the room was crowded, noisy, smelly, and hot. However, it wasn't expensive (for the location) and I've definitely stayed in worse. Recommended if your on a budget, just don't forget earplugs!

showers were really unreliable. everything eles was great though

Only problem I had was that I got back to my room at night and someone was in my bed, I had put all my stuff on the bed and they had moved all my stuff I had no idea where they had put it and I couldn't turn the light on because everyone was sleeping.. I just found that really annoying. I recommend you guys getting numbers for the beds and having each person a bed number when they arrive. Other than that I love dictionary hostel!

f

Very nice terrace.

There was almost no water from the shower it was impossible to wash the hair and almost impossible to shower.
