The Dictionary Hostel

Club kids, you’ve found your home: right at the axis of Kingsland Road and Old Street and so walking – or crawling – distance from Hoxton’s best dance spots. There’s a bar downstairs, Translate, and also a laundrette, a café, a cute, plant-covered interior courtyard and an intimate roof terrace. There are dorm beds and private rooms starting at £17 (with TVs, kettle and coffee). Jam jar lighting, swings in the dorms and fairy-lit communal areas are quirky touches, which make for an enjoyable stay. Breakfast is free and includes the highly prized beigels from nearby Brick Lane.
