Best Hostels near Covent Garden, London

Guide: Theatreland Hostels and King's Cross Backups

Covent Garden has the same hostel problem as Soho: the useful beds sit just outside the prettiest streets. Astor Museum is the theatre-and-museum walk, while Generator, Clink261, and Smart Russell Square make the late train home feel less fragile. This is for show nights and museum days, not for pretending Covent Garden is full of hostels.
