I was looking for accommodation in Putney (on laterooms) and saw this review
Disgusting truly and horribly threatening to your health
Hostel 639 is the most feral disgusting place you could imagine. The rooms are poorly serviced, not clean and overcrowded. Ventilation is a real problem in the rooms and security is pathetic. The location is a lot further from central london than is readily apparent although it is near a train line which helps. The rooms are overpriced for what you get and there is virtually no storage space to speak of in the rooms. The kitchen was absolutely filthy with a complimentary 1 inch thick level of scum on the cookers. The general accommodation reeked of people stench due poor ventilation and the internet cafe was so poorly ventilated it reached about 35 degrees in there. The people were generally friendly but the staff on the desk were a bunch of drop out elitist french fools, and Im from oz so Ive nothing against them but the attitude they spat at everybody (I never had a problem with them - just observing) was unprofessional. I would not recommend you stay at this hostel unless you would like to contract some sort communal disease, enjoy living in overcrowded stinky places or just generally revel in human muck. Needless to say I got the F@!^ out of there after just one night. Truly hideous.
