At O?Callaghan?s we like people to feel at home, so we are set up not as a traditional hostel but like a big, friendly-shared house and we must be doing it right as we?ve been here for over 70 years! We mainly specialize in Australian, New Zealand and South African backpackers and we are an ideal platform if you?re coming to London looking for work and eventually settling in to a place of your own.
We?re not the Ritz but we?re clean, friendly and safe and will even throw in a beer when you check in.
When the weather gets warmer, we have a great garden, which has BBQ facilities, and often offer free barbies and regular garden parties.
We are seconds away from many pubs, clubs, supermarkets, restaurants and minutes from museums, parks and galleries. Buses can be caught directly outside and the tube is thirty seconds walk from our front door.
