The description was not clear?, there is no where that state that the 8 bedroom is mixed genders, I ended up being with 7 men and being the only girl. I had to checkout before the next morning because it was uncomfortable for me to sleep in a room with 7 men who even strangers.

Beautiful grade II listed building with a fascinating history. Sympathetically updated to a modern hostel with a great buzz about the place. As anticipated, lots of travellers from all over the world, and a friendly melting-pot feel, without pumping music until the early hours. A good balance for a solo traveller. Easily close enough to Elephant & Castle for those looking to launch into the centre of London by day or for the evening. Staff were brilliant. Coffee shop is open 24/7.
The road can be noisy depending on which side of the property your room is located.

Not far from tube station. Some shops and bars near by.
Communal area was quite dirty. Bed squeeked n made horrid noises when u moved. Not very comfy. Lack of communication from some staff like how and where you order coffee. They just leave you standing by the cafe counter and ignore you. They should put a sign up.

About
Overview
The Rest Up London Hostel is known as one of the best and gauging from its outward appearance that would be easy to believe. The charming, brick front building with its terrace garden and wonderful location on the New Kent Road makes it an appealing spot. Just a short walk to Elephant & Castle tube station and 15 miles to Heathrow Airport, it is also just a mile from sites like the Tower of London, Parliament and Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. It is within the same area as the Imperial War Museum and London South Bank University, as well.
A pre-WWI baroque building, it is a historic property and has been a hostel for more than 100 years. It features such amenities as a shared TV room, a beautiful terrace with covered tables and fun bean bag chairs. It has an onsite coffee shop and snack bar, there is free Wi-Fi in the public areas, a ticketing and tour desk, baggage storage option, laundry services (for a fee) and even some business services. Visitors can enjoy traditional breakfast each morning, pizza at night and healthier fare in the restaurant. They also offer group menus.
The rooms include shared dorm rooms with options for four to a room or twenty beds in a dorm-style setting. The rooms are mixed gender, but there is a single four-bed female dorm. There are also twin and double rooms, and some even offer private baths at no cost.
If an affordable and high-quality accommodation is the goal, but also one in one of the best spots in London, it will be hard to beat what the Rest Up London Hostel makes available to travelers of all kinds.
