    The hostel is conveniently located in a peaceful area of Brixton, just a short walk from the tube station. It is also close to the city center, making it easy to explore all that the city has to offer. the rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are clean, with warm water for showers. the staff is helpful and friendly, ensuring a comfortable stay. the hostel offers a free breakfast, providing a convenient start to the day.

    One downside is that there is a pub with live music downstairs, which could be disruptive for light sleepers.

    The hostel had a lively and social atmosphere, making it great for meeting new people from all over. the location was convenient, with a short walk to public transportation and a nearby market. the staff were friendly and helpful, providing a warm welcome and assistance throughout our stay.

    The cleanliness of the bathrooms and kitchen areas could have been better, and some facilities seemed to be falling apart. the noise from the bar downstairs and inconsiderate guests could disrupt sleep at times.

    The staff was friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with any requests or questions we had. The showers had good water pressure and temperature, making for a comfortable and refreshing experience. The room was set up in a spacious manner, with bins conveniently located underneath the bunk beds.

    The noise from the bar/nightclub downstairs was incredibly loud, even with the provided earplugs. It made it difficult to fall asleep and enjoy a restful night.

    Great atmosphere and friendly staff. We were pleasantly surprised by the comfortable beds and the "free" locker. Despite a few cleanliness issues, the overall vibe and location of the hostel made up for it. I would recommend this hostel for a fun and budget-friendly stay in Brixton.

    I stayed at Hootananny for a week and it was an incredible experience. The community of people there was wonderful, with some guests staying for weeks, months, or even years. The beds were clean and cozy, allowing for a great night's sleep. Despite being a music bar, the noise levels at night were surprisingly low, ensuring a peaceful rest. a charming little hostel with basic amenities and a fantastic bar right on the doorstep.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    The location was great, with a pub downstairs that hosted musical events. the hostel had a laundry room available for use. the lack of staff presence during the night was concerning.

    The entrance was confusing and there were people still occupying the beds meant for us. the toilets and showers were not well-maintained, and the shower area had no lockers, making it uncomfortable for privacy.

    The value for money at Hootananny was great! The rooms were surprisingly comfortable and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient, just a few blocks from the Brixton tube station.

    The food for breakfast could have been better, could use more options.
