For just £6.05, Spencer booked himself into the Bell House hostel, Bell Street, London – just a stone’s throw from Regent’s Park.
“I was incredibly shocked at the price – I thought it was a glitch at first,” Spencer, from Ashford, Kent, told What’s The Jam.
“I was just casually looking on the app Hostelworld for a stay in London as I had a job interview.
“Usually I’m expecting around £20 for a night in a hostel, which is still good for London.”
Spencer shared his experience online, with the clip reaching a whopping 620,600 views and racking up 50,700 likes.

Spencer said: “The hostel was really good value for money.
“Toilets and showers were clean, it did the job.
“The room was standard but good, lockers available, you just need your own padlock.
“Beds were pretty comfortable, again clean, no hairs when I checked.
“It was definitely worth it, even for the location alone; right in Marylebone/central Londo,n you can’t get better in my opinion.”
Viewers were left shocked by the price of the stay.
One person said: “Hold on £6 bills, in London my daily commute costs more.”
Another person added: “I mean for £6 sure.”
One other person said: “Bargain if you ask me.”
One person said: “How is that even possible.”
Another person added: “This is actually such a steal and I would be all over this if I was visiting London. Don’t listen to the haters.”
