Liked: I would not recommend to stay in this hostel: rooms are small, the beds are low that they can not sit people, not hunched over and resting his head into the net the other bed. Shower rooms are not closed, they lack the hooks, which could hang things and bathroom accessories. Of the four shower cubicles worked only two, with one of them had no hot water. Shower and toilet are dirty. Cooking is so small that its hard to fit 2 persons. Despite the existence of a free breakfast in the hostel there was no room for meals, had to eat in the staff room, sitting on chairs-bags. It appeared that the friendliness of staff due to its indifferent mood. The only advantage of this hostel is a convenient location: 1 minute from the metro station

Customer review

16 August 2009

Liked: The good thing was the location. Everything else was subpar, most particularly a leak in the roof that would have ruined all our stuff had we not fortuitously been there about 15 minutes after it started! The staff while not rude at this point, could have been better by, for example, offering us a discount at this point, but they did not.

Liked: The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a great time with everyone at the hostel and all went out together. I would definitely recommend O'Callaghan's for its fun atmosphere. The beds were a little sketchy, but we got over it pretty fast!

05 August 2009 Jacob would recommend this property

Liked: The bathrooms needed cleaning, but the beds were surprisingly comfortable. Also, best sleep you can get in a hostel, due to the quiet - I was surprised how quiet it was. You should stay elsewhere if you want a party-central kind of place.

04 August 2009 kim would recommend this property

Liked: The location is excellent as it is in earl's court and very near the tube and convenience shops. If keeping costs down (way down!) is a must for you, then this place is a good option. I like that the rooms are NOT overcrowded like some other hostels- we had 4 beds in an above average sized room. My main complaints with this hostel are: 1. needs a good deep cleaning as the floors were dirty (hair, dirt, etc...) and 2. the showers are grim and need replacing. All in all a decent place, I would stay there again, but not for more than 2-3 nights (icky showers).
