• nicholas (10/5): - Super
• Joaquín (1/5): - La limpieza fatal no se la recomendaría a nadie Fatal excepto la señora que lleva la cafetería Limpia y educada La poca profesionalidad de recepción pues después de tener pagada la habitación para poder entrar te obligan a dejar 10 pouds por la llave que por supuesto te devuelven cuando te vas no lo recomiendo pues tube que llamar a la policía

• Chantal (1/5): Bad hostel - Nothing The staff where rude and racist Male Customers in mens toilets where transphobic Other guest making noise in rooms waking me up Drug takers staying at hostel A man smoked weed in room 01

• Akhere Paul (7/5): -
• Sarwar (4/5): - Price was reasonable It's a very grimey dirty hostel kitchen is laughable and showers are apalling. Beds don't have charging points or individual lights. Overall assessment avoid unless desperate. For a large building complex catering for the hostel business I expected much better standards.
• lemur (2/5): -
• amar (8/5): Honestly, I felt very comfortable there.❤️ - Their treatment is kind and pleasant And calm and clean.
• Adnane (10/5): Comfortable, friendly, and exactly what I was looking for. - I genuinely had a great experience staying here. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, which made it easy to feel comfortable right away. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always available when needed. The facilities were clean and well maintained, and everything was organised in a way that made the stay smooth and enjoyable. I also appreciated the social vibe, it was easy to meet people and feel part of a community. Overall, it exceeded my expectations. Honestly, there wasn’t anything significant that I didn’t like. If I had to mention something minor, it would just be small details that didn’t impact my overall experience. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
• Bella (8/5): -
• Natalia (6/5): bueno y barato - tiene el metro a dos minutos del hostal, las camas limpias, es barato, no hay tanto ruido, baño bien te cobran 10 libras por llave, hay gente rara y de origen extraño hospedandose en el hostal, pocos enchufes en la habitacion
• Were (7/5): - The food Unexpected payments
• Lloyd (1/5): A nightmare. I went to stay at my friends house. I will never go there again. - Nothing That the showers weren’t fit enough to wash in. It’s next to a graveyard which you can see when you go to the toilet, they charged me an extra £20 when I arrived, plus charged me £8 for a small towel and i ended up sharing a room with 3 other people.

• Chinyel (9/5): Slept well and great cooking facilities - Great evening staff, very helpful and solved my queries. Clear walls would be calmer.
• Rosirene Alves (10/5): - Muito bom
• Daryna (1/5): -
• De Santis (7/5): I wish you a better luck than me with not mental issues people around - The room was clean. The room was on the 3rd floor and on the main street so there is noises all the time. The lighting was poor and the bunk beds are very close so the other person´s head was very close to mine. Mattresses are very worn out so not very comfortable. Next door there was a couple with the TV at a very high volume until 9pm, then they started arguing so I had to call for help to reception to make them quite as they mistreated me when I asked them for that. They didnt make silence until very late as they were playing knocking things or just talking loudly, for me they had mental issues for the way they were talking between them (a man and a woman). Reception told me to change room on the phone but after talking to them they didnt call me to do it and I did not bother. I had a really bad night in that room. Water in the shower was quite cold in the morning. The heater is off during the day so the room was cold but on at night and the room was better. Very late at night there was people arriving walking in corridors with big luggage making horrible noises.

• Tom (2/5): AVOID... Unless desperate. - Next to tube station Staff made me wait 40 mins to check in at 11:50pm. Sheets were stained, 10 pound required for room key deposit... no privacy blinds in room, curtain doesnt cover window to public street footpath. Loud. Dont go unless desperate for a place to stay.
• Daniel (7/5): - What I needed Rooms can be hit and miss with backpacker hostels. Never know whom you're gonna get
• Daniel (10/5): -
• Ana Luíza (8/5): Cheaper and cheaper - The price The harmers of the room was not working at this time. I felt really cold and sick.
• Ana Luíza (8/5): Cheapest hostel ever - Cheapest hostel, better than sleep at the streets of London. The Old building withow light. If you don't care about fancy architecture it's going to be a great experience.
• Gimenez (5/5): Aceptable - Que era tranquilo Que el baño estaba muy lejos
• Marzia (10/5): -
• Emmanuel (10/5): - Flexibility .
• Ayshan (6/5): No privacy at all between beds - Value for the money Next to cemetery
• Andre (7/5): -
• Pires (1/5): - Nada, quarto fedia , muito ruim!
• Shakti (3/5): Despite my felliw residents being lovely J wouldn’t recommend the hostel. Dirty, showers not working on my floor so had - My room mate and the other residents, very friendly and gelpful. Dorm very comfortable Staff were VERY challenging, took a LOT of patient navigation to get even basic help. Very off putting especially after a long exhausting journey and stressful and sad situation (friend had life threatening surgery the day before and I was at hostel to attend another friend’s funeral tiday).
• Muhammad Zain (5/5): - Train access noiseless area No sockets near the bed toilets are so dirty
• Marylou (3/5): -
• Katalin (7/5): -
• HYACINTH (4/5): It okay could be better needs to Change more - Not much Not total clean, it needed a makeover a Funding to reshape the whole building and makeover the bedroom and kitchen ,Reception needs polishing up and organising well
• József (8/5): -
• Billie (5/5): - Was told in no uncertain terms not to stay, it's a gang hostel and if your not liked by that gang don't stay. But at least they were honest enough to say. Nothing to do with actual hostel more to do with permanent residents The fact that I lost the money I had paid but at least they didn't make good on threats. Nothing to do with actual hostel
• Lobna (10/5): - Everything nothing
• Janet (6/5): Helpful staff, great location, but needs a proper kitchen for guests. - The location is exceptional. The property description boasts a kitchen, but in fact, the kitchen was locked. A smaller kitchen was available but with no plates, pans, utensils, cups, so basically dysfunctional.
• Assja (8/5): Good Hostel - Cheap stay in London. Nice roommates.
• faesalor (7/5): -
• Alister Pike (8/5): -
• TANVIR ANJUM (1/5): -
• Martins (7/5): - There’s a communal vibe to this property. The tenants sometimes even get food donated free. There’s not much not to like here. Some of the extra stuff like the kitchen can be improved.
• JuLiaNa (10/5): O Kensal Green faz parte da minha história em Londres . - 2°vez hospedada no Kensal Green e tive uma ótima experiência,desta vez foi bem melhor. A Aline,uma moça que faz a limpeza muito amável e atenciosa.O restaurante também,as pessoas muito querida, próximo ao metrô,o que ajuda muito.Proxima vez em.Londres,ficarei lá novamente. Não tem o que não gostei . Pelo valor que paguei,parecia que estava em um hotel,normal .
• Jesma (2/5): - I like the fact that it’s near to the train station and bus station.
• Jesma (1/5): -
• De Santis (8/5): Some rooms are really worthy but not all - The room was clean and nice with good light. The toilet was nice and clean. Hot water working perfectly, the room was on a road with a big window to have day light and the electrical light was good too. The mattress was not the best but was not too bad. The distance between bunk beds was good. The key on the door did not work very well.
• De Santis (9/5): It was ok - The room had a nice size with enough space between the bunk beds. The toilet was clean and this room was on the cemetery side so far from the traffic noises which is good as it is a very busy road. The light was very poor. The mattress was quite worn out. I went to the kitchen to use the kettle and everything was dirty, surfaces, kettle, tops, water all over the place, the smell was disgusting. Already that floor smells too bad and I wanted to vomit when I was in the kitchen. I heated water in the kettle while covering my nose with my scarf because the smell there is terrible.
• Lilah (10/5): -
• Rochete (8/5): - Very friendly and a good place to be else meet people Nothing at the moment
• Flerystton (10/5): -
• ElaForgacz (6/5): - Jedna z recepcjonistek, bardzo uprzejma i pomocna ale pozostała część personelu nieprofesjonalna i źle traktująca z powodu różnic kulturowych Zostałam okradziona przez kogoś, zginęło mi kilka rzeczy z pokoju
• Corrynne Lee Maher (5/5): - It was good to see some of the residents and staff again. No heating, it was freezing, just about every one had colds. I price is not cheap when you end up coughing your lungs out for two weeks. Only 2 elements on the stove work, once had to go up the 3 flights of stairs 4 times before I found an element available. There were only pots and pans in the kitchen.
