The worst place I've ever stayed in. Bare bulb in room, no bedside lamp, poorly decorated with patches of unpainted plaster, broken window blind, kettle in room (also a fridge & microwave!) but no cup, coffee or tea etc. No hot water in the wash room or showers. Breakfast too late on Saturday & Sunday when I had to be elsewhere for 9am and on Monday morning there was no-one there to provide any breakfast!. If you're thinking of staying there, think again.

Forest Gate Hostel was very cheap for London standard (30£ per night and room). however, the first night, we didn't get the room we booked (two beds instead of a double bed) and a very small, dirty room, with old dirty linen where we found stains and hairs of the former guests. The second night we were in our double bed room, where we found old socks underneath the bed and old stuff in the refrigator... Some rooms in the hostel are building sites. Water in the shower turn suddenly cold in the middle of the shower and breakfast contains 1 egg, two spoons of beans, 2 toast, 1 small sausage and bacon. If you are vegetarian, it is not possible to have more toast instead of meat. For us, this hostel was the worst place we have ever been and we can recommend it only to people that are looking for a cheap, but dirty uncomfortable place

You can't expect any luxury. But you really get what you pay for, including clean lining! A strange thing is that our room was equiped with a micro wave oven and and refrigerator but with no trash can...
