Great location (zone 1, next to Edgware Road station).
Clean and hygienic, helpful staff. However there is no kitchen facility so I can’t put food/drink in fridge or heat up food.

I was pleasantly surprised, the bed linen was clean and my check-in at 1:50 am went well. I will return to this place.

The place are very well located, just next to the Bakerloo Line and with plenty of BUS stops/routes nearby. The old style pub is very charming and comfy. As a guest, you can stay in the Pub during the night, with good music and a peaceful atmosphere. The food and coffee are amazing, and having here an English breakfast is one of my favorite times in the morning/day. The beds are confortable and the rooms and toilets are clean regularly.
All the service here is top notch. I truly appreciate the sympathy and care of the workers. Specially, Aisha is truly a good worker and a master in bringing good vibes to the place, and she will make sure you don’t have any problems during your stay. I’m grateful for her and the rest of the team’s help. It’s been a pleasure meeting you and this place.
I will always comeback, when the opportunity calls for it.
Response from Property: Hi MiguelThank you so much for your wonderful review which has been shared with the team. Hope to see you soon.Best wishesThe Green Man

“No human being is illegal.” – Elie Wiesel
“The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.” – Aristotle
What I witnessed at Green Man Pub & Hostel was more than a failure of customer service — it was a failure of humanity and law.
A Brazilian woman, who had lost her passport and was clearly in distress, was not only denied support but treated with cold suspicion, discriminatory behaviour, and overt xenophobia. Instead of empathy, she encountered hostility. Instead of privacy, she was publicly confronted. Instead of dignity, she was forced to justify her very presence — quietly seated, with her luggage beside her.
Staff not only refused to assist her in contacting the Brazilian Embassy — which, under international norms, should have been the first step — but also pressured her to vacate the space, even though she had paid for her stay. This is a violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963), which guarantees the right of every foreign national to consular protection.
Let me be clear: she did not break any laws.
She did not raise her voice.
She did not cause any harm.
Yet, she was treated as if her mere foreignness was an offence.
The situation was so egregious that it resulted in an official police report, which has now been registered with the Metropolitan Police. To date, no representative from the Green Man Pub has offered any response or formal apology, even after direct attempts were made to engage constructively.
This review is not written out of anger, but out of duty. Xenophobia is not just morally wrong — it is institutionally corrosive. It erodes trust, dignity, and the fabric of a civil society.
To other travellers — especially women, immigrants and persons of colour: exercise caution when considering this establishment.
And to management: silence in the face of discrimination is complicity.
Response from Property: Hi RenataPlease accept my apologies for this experience you had with us. I have passed your comments over to the General Manager to investigate.Bets wishesThe Green Man

overnight stay that's walking distance to Marylebone station for trains out of London. Inexpensive, sufficient if you need to crash, safe and secure. Bathroom shower worked great and Sainsbury nearby.
Checked in in the pub section with a key card fob to access the steps to the hostel rooms upstairs. Request for bed in the lower bunk as no AC and small locker for variables. Pointed the fan up to make it reasonably cool on hot stuffy days. Great for location and price would use again.
Response from Property: Thank you so much for your lovely review, hope to see you next time you are visiting LondonBest wishesThe Green Man

This was a good stay & had a good night's sleep. The females I shared with were considerate. The door was not working with the key card.
Response from Property: Thanks Andrea for your lovely review and brining up the issue of the lock which we have now fixed.Best wishesThe Green Man

The chef and the one bartender are really kind. Everyone else is terrible. The “manager” is rude
, yells at people unprovoked and then tries to get them kicked out the hostel. As others have mentioned, there are bugs. The bathrooms are always unclean. Like it’s bad. I got bit by several bed bugs, the sheets I received were stained and torn. The location is convenient to getting to most places
Response from Property: HiPlease accept our apologies for the experience you had whilst staying with us. I am looking into the points that you have raised and will be following these up with the team.With best wishes
