Hostelworld says

The Steam Engine, Bestplace Inn is a great hostel for those looking to see some of London’s best-known sites. Guests tell us ‘you can easily walk everywhere in London’ from this hostel, including Piccadilly Circus, the London Eye, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Lambeth North tube station is also nearby. Many of our visitors praise this hostel’s friendly staff, the ‘clean and really comfy beds’ and the discounted drinks and pizza in the pub downstairs. One reviewer told us they ‘would recommend this to someone wishing to meet real Londoners’.

1 toilet for 48 beds is unacceptable. Routinely saw people openly pee in the shower because the second toilet was out of order for days. Bunks stacked three high. Bathroom was not cleaned well. Staff is nice.
