Staying at the Steam Engine for 3 nights was fantastic. The hospitality couldn't be beat, all the staff made sure I had the best stay I could have. Sitting on top of a pub turned out to be a really interesting location, especially since the food blew away my expectations - and the discounts for hostel users didnt hurt.
The pub also allowed a place to relax and hang out once you start to talk to other people staying in the hostel as they're traveling London. All in all, as far as a hostel goes, I would stay Publove at the Steam Engine couldn't be beat, and I would gladly stay there again.
