This is the best hostel i've ever stayed at in Europe. it's right by the river and peaceful, the rooms are clean, there are closets to store your stuff inside the dorm rooms, the showers & restrooms were clean, and you can rent lockable lockers to store stuff. Although it's not too close to the tube, bus #24 (which takes you to all the tourist spots) picks up right outside the hostel. I don't know how they make money when they only charge 13 pounds for each night and provide free linens, towels, & pillows. They even provide free drinks (juice/tea/soda) at the bar, free linens, pillows & towel.
Best of all, the staff were super friendly & helpful. From the moment i arrived, i felt very welcome. I definitely enjoyed my stay and wished i could have stayed longer. I highly recommend this hostel!
