Onefam Waterloo 18-36 years old

I stayed for 3 nights and loved every second. This was my first time traveling solo, and this hostel was absolutely perfect for me. The location is amazing, and the cleaning staff did a great job keeping everything tidy. What I loved the most, however, was the staff! They are such wonderful people and, in my experience, went above and beyond to ensure my stay was as enjoyable as possible even when I didn’t have any plans. They organize daily walking tours, family dinners, indoor games, and night outings. They genuinely make an effort to ensure everyone is having a great time. For me, it was definitely worth the money. Special shoutout to Squid and all the other team members!

A great location, great facilities, free veggie dinner every night, and a walking tour during the day, plus a drinking game/night out every evening! I was solo traveling through Europe for a month, and Onefam Waterloo was definitely one of the highlights of my stay in England. I loved the adventurers I got to meet and the memories we made together during my time at the hostel. And of course, a big shout-out to the lovely staff members at Onefam Waterloo: Hector🇲🇽, Elize🇦🇺, Neus🇪🇸, Reilly🌎, Justin🇦🇺, and Shanice🌎. Thank you so much for being welcoming, reliable, and so much fun! I will cherish the time spent with you all for a long time. You guys are exceptional, and I truly wish your experiences at Onefam lead you to where you want to be in the future.

Onefam Hostel was an amazing experience! It was the perfect choice as it was affordable and offered daily activities that you could join for free with the other guests, led by the awesome volunteers working there. The activities included visiting landmarks, markets, and museums. In the evenings, we would always gather for a free dinner prepared by the team, followed by games that helped us get to know each other better. The atmosphere was so friendly and familiar. After that, we would head to a pub to soak in the English vibe and later to a different type of club each night. Everything was perfect, and I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone. A special shoutout to Felix and Elix, who were super friendly and always joined in on the fun!

Returning for a fourth time felt like coming home to a beloved family. The warmth and familiarity of this place never cease to amaze me, and the staff consistently go above and beyond to make every stay exceptional. It's clear they genuinely care about their guests, and their dedication to providing a welcoming atmosphere is evident in every interaction. The rooms, as always, are immaculate and comfortable, and the overall ambiance fosters a sense of community and belonging. I'm already counting down the days until my fifth visit!
