Brilliant place. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, honoured to be at this pub/hostel (24/7 for those who are staying at hostel).
Very welcoming and great atmosphere, some really nice bartenders - Michael Remick is brilliant to talk to. They do look after you. Enjoyed the pub quiz too.
Great selection of food and drink - enjoyed the fish burger and chips, some of the seating areas have power sockets which were handy! The hostel itself reflected what you would get in London and has a traditional feeling to it which is great. A lot of hostels that I have been to are too contemporary and thus feels more like a student/profession, whereas I got to speak to others which was great as you wouldn't really get that in a typical hostel and people would usually keep themselves to themselves.
The pub/hostel is off the main road which is great as you don't hear traffic nor get the wrong type of crowd coming in. I have to admit that when it gets busy there is not much room but that's something they can't improve on due to the size of the pub. If it's busy, it's busy!
Would love to see them expand on a book collection, guest photo gallery (on a wall), addition of a piano/guitar would be great if they ever chose that as an option. This would also mean they could hold open mic sessions in the future if they chose to look into that. Some of the rooms could do with additional power sockets and small bed lighting - but I'm not complaining. Can't wait to see the refurbishment to the place next year! Especially the shower/toilet area. Though people have been complaining online about this, it still is functionable. However, I hope they install new showers. Would love to have more options for food during night time stay. Pizzas were lovely but maybe pasta would be great too or even soups etc. Would like to see a 20% discount instead of 10% or maybe a meal/deal as it can get pricey. Again I do expect that in London but I'm not complaining much about that.
PLEASE NOTE: that this pub displays it's opening hours. However, it is only 24/7 for those who stay at the hostel. This is very handy when other hostels to do not offer this as an option. Also don't expect it to be 5* hotel or something. It was the cheapest near central London so I was more than happy with what I paid for.

Not sure how to rate this place. The beer was fine, but the hours are quite different than is advertised. I keep seeing online that it is open 24 hours, but that is not true. Not true at all. It's barely past midnight and they just closed. Seriously? London needs to go to bed early, I guess...

Been here a bunch of times and will keep coming back for the burgers. I've had a lot of burgers in London but the Juicy Bastard tops them all. My absolute favourite anywhere. The Steam Engine always has an excellent selection of beers (IPAs, bitters etc) and a good selection of gins too.

Only visited the pub, didnt experience the overnight stay. Nice, clean, large. The brews on tap were varied and sophisticated, the bar staff was friendly and courteous. The atmosphere is young, tolerant, unjudgmental. The popcorn chicken + spicy sauce was good enough for seconds.

It felt like I was in "Planet of the Apes", when entered our dorm room. Those bunk beds where something I have never seen b4 but yet I still fell asleep thinking about the two other people above me. Also the Pub downstairs is open 24/7 and the guy who helped us out was awesome.
