Convenient Location: The hostel is located in a central area, with easy access to public transportation and nearby attractions. It was great being able to explore the city without having to travel far.
Limited Washing Facilities: The availability of the washing and drying facilities in the kitchen area was restricted, and it would have been more convenient if there was a set time for clients to use them during their stay.

I had a great value for my money at the Ordnance. The room was clean, warm, and comfortable, and I had a peaceful night's sleep. The location was excellent, right next to the train station, and the staff were friendly and helpful during my stay.
The only thing that could make the breakfast offerings better would be a wider variety of options.

Convenient location near train and bus station. Bus No.53 provides easy access to central London in 50 minutes. Lovely riverside area with pubs and restaurants nearby. Clean rooms and friendly staff. Great value for money.

I recently stayed at Hostel Ordnance during my trip to the city. It was a short stay, just a couple of nights, but it served my purpose perfectly. The hostel is conveniently connected to the DLR underground line, making it easy to explore the city. I especially enjoyed the view overlooking Woolwich Arsenal town centre with its plethora of shops. The Wi-Fi connection was excellent, which was a big plus for me. The staff, from the manager to the cleaners, were all friendly and polite. it was a decent deal for the price I paid.
Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

my recent stay in london was a disappointment, but staying at ordnance turned things around. the unique atmosphere and friendly mice made it memorable. the bunkbeds were surprisingly sturdy. truly a hidden gem in the city.
No warm water for men in winter.

The breakfast options were quite good, with a variety of choices including toast, cereal, and fruit. The staff were also friendly and helpful, providing assistance whenever needed. As for the location, it was conveniently situated near public transportation, making it easy to explore the city.
I found the rooms to be quite dirty and in need of proper cleaning. The bedsheets and floors were not properly maintained, and there were even odd bits of rubbish left under the bed.

The location of this hostel was great, situated in a lively part of town with plenty of things to do and see nearby. It was also conveniently close to the train station, making it easy to explore the city. Additionally, the Wi-Fi at the hostel worked well, allowing me to stay connected during my stay.
There were several disappointing aspects of my experience at this hostel. the staff was unprofessional and had poor communication.

had a lovely stay, much better than my last experience in London. The receptionist upgraded me to an all-female room for free and the location near the DLR was super convenient. Just needed a bit more TLC.
Ladder to top bunk missing.

The location of this hostel was very convenient, with easy access to public transportation and nearby shops and restaurants. It was also affordable, which was a plus. The staff was friendly and helpful, and check-in was smooth.
The cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired, with old rubbish under the beds and dirty marks on the curtains and walls. The lack of proper facilities was also a major drawback, with not enough toilets for the number of guests and inconsistent water supply in the showers.

As trekkers and a group of friends, we loved the unique atmosphere and meeting interesting people. the hostel provided basic amenities such as beds, clean female bathrooms, and a kitchen for us to cook our own meals. Emmanuel went out of his way to accommodate our needs, ensuring our stay was comfortable.
We felt satisfied with our stay and had no complaints.

The staff at reception were nice and helpful. The hostel is conveniently located near the DLR and close to Excel London, Thames River, and Greenwich. There are many shops, restaurants, and food stores in the surrounding area. It is an affordable option for someone looking for a cheap place to stay in London.
Felt so relaxed, no reason to complain.

Great price, don't expect anything. I recently stayed at a budget hostel in London and the price was unbeatable. While I didn't expect luxury, I was pleasantly surprised by the affordability. The location was convenient, close to public transportation and amenities. I would recommend this place for travelers on a budget.
