- Ismael%20Santos (8/5): It was a great time. Thanks. - It was a nice time there. If you want to pay and comfortable. The price and the location it was good. Good space. Some stairs to walk. But its okay.

- Oluwatimilehin (3/5): Would only reccomend if you have busy plans and only need to sleep in the hostel - Good location Staff ignore you and don't make you feel welcome.
Theres also midget bulldog with tattoos who thinks he's Batman.
They clean everyday but the rooms are still Dusty. Doesn't really make sense.
One staff member was decent. The rest are childish and only work there because they need a place to stay.

- Guest (5/5): It was just ok, definitely would not stay again. - The location was great! Some staff were very nice. All necessities were mostly met. We were refused access to our room for part of a day with no prior notice. The room was being fumigated and we were told differing things about the reason. There were things we needed from the room and needed to put in the room and we were not able to. Some of the lockers to keep our belongings were broken.
- Olivia_Travels (8/5): Comfortable and Clean! - Comfortable dorm bed room. Female only.
Clean bathroom and shower.
Places to lock your belongings. Extra hangers would be useful for clothing as well as a curtain across the bunk bed for privacy.
- Panagiotis (9/5): Great and enjoyable stay! - Clean facilities, comfortable beds and quiet. A lot of events were being organized almost every night so having fun was always on the table! No elevator, lockers were not very comfortably placed under the beds. The location is great but not the best of the best.
- CHI CHUNG (3/5): - Friendly reception Locker doesn't have any locker provided. The pillow and mattress are really bad.
- ELmahjoubi (8/5): -
- Margaret (8/5): Incredible manager in Zack. They are lucky to have him - The manager Zack was incredibly diplomatic and helpful when explaining that I had “aged out” so I can’t really comment on the facility. If I were hiring I would want him to be my manager. Massive challenges keeping people safe and comfortable, upholding policies and ensuring all guests have exit policies Wish I could have stayed

- Giusi (1/5): 40 YEARS OLD NOT ALLOWED - Not allowed in if you over 40 and found this out right when I tried to check in at the hostel. No email o message in regards. NOT TRUSTWORTHY and NO REFUND YET. They allowed me 1 night only because I arrived late and had anywhere to go. Had to go somewhere else to find a place for the other 4 nights LAST MINUTE! NOT RECOMMENDED no sensibility

- Mallem (10/5): - All things are good Nothing
- Helene (10/5): Great vibe & location - The architecture of the building is beautiful and it's nice to have large communal spaces and kitchen. The rooms are clean. Overall one of the nicest things about this hostel is the vibe from staff and guests. There's a v polite, friendly culture modelled by the young people managing the place; lots of people cooking around each other but no shouting or mess. Karaoke was fun too & kicked off informally. Even groups entering the dorms were tiptoeing/being as quiet as possible. The four flights of stairs to the dorm made me realise how out of shape I was! I think my only real critique would be no curtains along the bunks; these can make a huge difference especially in rooms with only one main light.

- Madina (10/5): Thank you for your humanity, comfort, and for creating a feeling of home away from home. I wish your hostel continued - When I first arrived at this hostel, I had a completely different idea of what hostels were like. Honestly, at first I felt a little uncomfortable because it was my very first experience staying in one. But with time, I started to feel something truly special here.
For me, this hostel feels like a big home — even a little like a huge “Titanic” filled with people from different countries and backgrounds, all living together in a friendly and respectful atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised by how considerate and tidy the guests were, always trying not to make noise and helping to keep the atmosphere cozy and peaceful.
The hostel is very clean, and the kitchen has everything necessary for everyday life. The atmosphere is warm and lively, and the staff are always friendly and ready to help.
I especially want to thank you for making this place affordable. Hostels like this are truly important for people who are going through difficult times financially. Here, you are welcomed without unnecessary questions, and that means a lot.
Thank you for your humanity, comfort, and for creating a feeling of home away from home. I wish your hostel continued success and many wonderful guests.

- AKBAR (1/5): - I stayed at this hostel and unfortunately had a very bad experience. The young man at the reception was rude and unhelpful. They gave me a room on the top floor, and I had to walk what felt like nearly 500 stairs to reach the 5th floor. I was extremely tired and exhausted, especially with my luggage after traveling. The situation became so uncomfortable that I ended up having to sleep in the lobby. I did not feel respected or comfortable during my stay at all. I would not recommend this place. Naming
- Ali Ahsan (10/5): -
- Olga (5/5): Molto da migliorare. - Lo staff era fantastico, super gentili e disponibili. La posizione meravigliosa: vicina a 2 stazioni metro a 10-15 min a piedi, al Museo di Storia Naturale e ai Queen's gardens. Aree in comune molto ben tenute. Il bagno in stanza come anche quello in comune sul piano era messo molto male: vecchio, mal tenuto, con la doccia sporca e la tenda della doccia piena di ruggine e muffa. La stanza neanche ha soddisfatto le mie aspettative: aveva due balconi chiusi da una catena che potevano essere aperti solo di poco non facendo arieggiare abbastanza la stanza, che puzzava. Ovviamente per il prezzo che ho pagato non mi aspettavo il lusso, ma almeno le basi della pulizia ecco.

- Amelie (8/5): A good place to stay for a London trip - The room was big and not too crowded (10 x female dorm), bathroom was clean and the shower had very good water pressure. The location is not bad either (30 min by Bus to piccadilly circus)
- Natalia (8/5): -
- Jakub (8/5): - Wonderful location, calm and beautiful neighborhood perfect for walks, close to Hyde park, kesington palace and gardens, charming cafes (we recommend Jumo and Hjem), natural history and V&A museums, bikes right in front of the hostel There was no hangers in the bathroom nor in the bedroom for towels- really inconvenient

La ubicación me pareció muy buena, con el parque a unos metros que te conecta al Palacio de Buckingham (se puede andar o alquilar una bici que hay cerca). El personal muy amable y predispuesto a ayudarte. Pude dejar la maleta antes de hacer el check in. Estuve en una habitación compartida para 4 chicas y estaba muy cuidada y la limpieza 10/10. A tener en cuenta que para subir a las habitaciones hay escaleras, pero no creo que sea algo muy grave.

- Magdalena (8/5): Very cool place to stay and explore London - Hyde Park, Royal Albert Hall and Natural History Museum are just around the corner. Very close to the public transportation. Manager Zach and his team were extremely nice, friendly and helpful. Other guests on our floor did not respect the rules about the noise and woke up us in the middle of the night. The height of the bed frame was ridiculously high, it was inconvenient to some extent.
- Maëla (8/5): - L’accueil au top, séjour sympa
- Iloshalesha (1/5): Complaint Regarding Inappropriate Behaviour of Hostel Staff I, Ilona Solonyna, am currently staying - Negative review of the hostel
I stayed in this hostel for 5 days, and the first 4 days were really good: great location, cleanliness, comfortable conditions, friendly staff, breakfast — everything created a very positive impression. That is why I even extended my stay.
But one receptionist completely ruined the whole impression.
On the day of changing rooms, I came to the reception at 10:20. As it turned out, check-out was at 10:00, and check-in to the new room was only at 15:00. I did not know this and approached just to clarify the procedure: how to correctly move from one room to another.
I immediately informed that I am from Ukraine and do not speak English, so we communicated through a translator. But from the very beginning, the staff member behaved rudely, with a cold and dissatisfied tone.
I asked a simple clarifying question regarding the £5 payment for the possibility to collect my belongings after 10:00. I did not refuse to pay — I just wanted to understand the procedure. In response, I received aggression: the staff member stated that he was cancelling my booking and that I could no longer stay at the hostel.
This was completely inadequate. I did not argue and did not violate any rules — I simply did not know that this had to be done before 10:00, and not at 10:20.
The worst part — from 10:20 to 15:00 I practically spent all that time in tears. I was so humiliated and shocked by the behaviour of the staff member that I could not calm down. My rest turned into stress.
I did not come “to his home” — I came to the reception as a guest to get an explanation. Instead, I received rudeness, aggression and complete disrespect.
After that, I contacted the senior staff member — Mark. He listened to me and apologized for the situation. But the problem is that the employee who was at fault, during all the rest of my stay, continued to behave in a vulgar and disrespectful way — already because I dared to complain.
So the management apologized, but the emplo

On the day of changing rooms, I came to the reception at 10:20. As it turned out, check-out was at 10:00, and check-in to the new room was only at 15:00. I did not know this and approached just to clarify the procedure: how to correctly move from one room to another.
I immediately informed that I am from Ukraine and do not speak English, so we communicated through a translator. But from the very beginning, the staff member behaved rudely, with a cold and dissatisfied tone.
I asked a simple clarifying question regarding the £5 payment for the possibility to collect my belongings after 10:00. I did not refuse to pay — I just wanted to understand the procedure. In response, I received aggression: the staff member stated that he was cancelling my booking and that I could no longer stay at the hostel.
This was completely inadequate. I did not argue and did not violate any rules — I simply did not know that this had to be done before 10:00, and not at 10:20.
The worst part — from 10:20 to 15:00 I practically spent all that time in tears. I was so humiliated and shocked by the behaviour of the staff member that I could not calm down. My rest turned into stress.
I did not come “to his home” — I came to the reception as a guest to get an explanation. Instead, I received rudeness, aggression and complete disrespect.
After that, I contacted the senior staff member — Mark. He listened to me and apologized for the situation. But the problem is that the employee who was at fault, during all the rest of my stay, continued to behave in a vulgar and disrespectful way — already because I dared to complain.
So the management apologized, but the emplo
- Tanja (9/5): - Amazing location, perfect choice if you need a place to stay and want to prioritise wandering around. Kitchen is well equipped and helped making the trip even more affordable. The vibe of the place is lovely, rooms look fresh and spacious, it's cool that the whole hostel, especially the lounge, give this authentic feeling of renovated old London house. Shower has good pressure and it was appreciated after a cold day to warm up. Would come back. Curtains would be much appreciated as people go in and out of the room in the night or early in the morning, a better night of sleep would be lovely, therefore it is a good place to stay at for a shorter duration. Bathroom could get an upgrade with a shelf or something to put your things on while you're in there. Towels could be a bit better though, they leave a lot of fibres on your skin and it makes wiping a bit messy... The lockers do make a lot of noise though, so maybe consider earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

- Angela (8/5): Great find in South Kensington with reasonable rates - Location great for museums (V&A, Natural), Royal Albert Hall, Imperial University. Quick check-in and brief overview of facilities. Room 4, twin unsuited room has bunk beds, very comfortable mattress, no shower gel but hand-wash provided. Wifi connection good for streaming.
- . (8/5): I Recommend - Astor Hyde Park boasts a budget stay in a lovely neighbourhood, within walking distance of The Natural History and Science museums, and on nature's doorstep, Hyde Park. The tube Gloucester Road/South Kensington is under 15 minute walk. Specifically, Glocester Road has a Waitrose supermarket, Tesco express, and a few eateries outside if you want to get some food, and The Royal Albert Hall is only a few minute walk, which is convenient if you are going to see a music event. If you book a private room, just know it'll be on the top floors and there's a lot of steps. I didn't mind, but you might. I didn't use the kitchen for food, however it was very clean and there weren't any bad smells. I left my luggage after check-out and it was only £4.00 for ALL day, which is a great price. I was very pleased with this as when I stayed in 2025, this service was nearly £10.00, which was a let down - so I'm very glad things have improved! The top floor was really loud during my stay at approximately 1-2am. Other guests staying on the floor weren't respectful or the amount of noise they were making and there was a lot of screaming and shouting during this time. I stayed in the private room with an ensuite, and the water pressure in the shower was really bad. On maximum flow, it was not powerful and water came out barely and poorly, water also didn't come out from the whole shower head, only certain parts. Additionally, although I didn't change the temperature, every 10 seconds the water would shift from the temperature I set it to boiling hot, burning me in the process, and in between it bounced around that, which was really disappointing. Lastly, not sure to what standard the rooms are cleaned, but there was dust build-up in many places. The room should be deep cleaned every now and again.

- Zeynep (9/5): - Konumu oldukça iyi, ortak alanda belki çalışma alanlarında daha fazla priz olabilir Asansör olmaması bir eksi. Ama fiyatına göre kabul edilebilir bir eksiklik.
