It was before a big week end, but we paid high prices (220 €) for only two nights. The bathroom wasn't clean enough and the showers alternate cold or hot (burning) !!
In 2012 and in a city like London, it is not possible to have pressure and to choose simply "normal" water ?!!
+++
Pizzas were so good and there was a good ambiance during our first night with the karaoke.
A little bit expensive and bad quaity services for only two nights !!
Improve yourself for Olympic games guys !! ;)

Above all the best is the location, five minutes from Victoria and 15 min. from Buckingham Palace.
Very clean bathrooms and the correct, although a little cold rooms.
The bad: after 11 pm not serve or a beer (inflexible), the towels appear as a service included in the price, but in reality if you want one with five-pound pay.
A little simple breakfast: toast with jam and cereals and coffee.
We miss less any simple service as adapters for British plugs (we are all foreigners) and the lockers in the rooms have no padlock... so how do not know you stay without saving anything...
In short: If you are looking for something simple, clean, cheap and well located, this is your place.For more things search hotel.

Nice home, Chamber and proper sanitation, a little cold in the room rather antiquated... good report quality price, near transport, good general appreciation.

The hostel is very well located, the pub is very nice and the people are nice. The bathroom is small, but clean. On the other hand provide locks for the bags because the traps are small and the padlock not obtained. And balls quiès if you want to sleep alone.
We had a very good stay!

Dormitory of 9 people quiet and clean, linen felt the costs; the toilets and showers were nickel. The small included dej is very good. It gives us even a good for a drink at the bar of the Inn. A redo without hesitation!

The team is very welcoming and helpful. I loved the atmosphere in the bar, music etc...
I slept in a dormitory with 20 other people so it was a little difficult to have a deep sleep, but for just one night, this was sufficient. Only 15 euros at night with a drink half price and complimentary breakfast. The breakfast was excellent and complete.
The toilets are clean and in good condition. I found it very well that there is a quilt and pillows on the bed.
The only flat is that it has no elevator: this may be a problem for persons of reduced mobility or people who have heavy luggage.

I stayed at the White Ferry for 7 days and everything was fine! The room was very clean, staff were very friendly and very helpful! even helped me to take my luggage up:-) breakfast is free, place is very central about 10 minutes or less if you walk fast to Victoria Station.
Kitchen is quite big and tidy too!
Brilliant place to stay! will definitely stay in White Ferry again!
