Amy Beard

08 July 2009 Amy would recommend this property

Liked: If you want a hostel that is within about ten metres from a tube station then this is it! You really can't beat the location of this hostel. The tube station is literally over the road and there are loads of shops, restaurants and bars around. Couldnt ask for anymore really! The guy who works there is very friendly and always willing to help and offer advice. It's a small hostel so it feels like a home away from home which is nice. The only downfall I guess is the noise from the road at night if you have the window open. But you dont come to london to have a peaceful night in so just enjoy this fantastic, busy city and make the most of it! I highly recommend this hostel if you want an excellently priced, safe, homely, friendly hostel in the heart of London.

Liked: Friendly staff and great breakfast included. It's very easy to find and great location, so close to a tube station. Bathrooms weren't the best, showers were very inconvenient for changing and hanging towels etc.

21 June 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Good location, very close to the Earl's Court station, selection of shops, bars and restaurants nearby. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere, but rooms very basic. Beds were comfortable, but street noise quite loud at night. Room was a bit too warm at night when keeping the window shut to reduce the noise. Good breakfast, free wifi was a nice bonus as well as the free beer, :) All in all a good choice for the seasoned budget traveller.

19 June 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location was awesome, across the road from Earl's Court tube station - close to pubs, supermarkets, pharmacy, fast food outlets & a bakery. Spoilt for choice! It was really quiet and felt more like staying at someone's house, I only saw 2 other people a part from myself, my friend & the man who worked there. Our room was meant for 4 people but it was only the 2 of us which was cool. The man who worked there was very friendly and helpful, we especially enjoyed his viewing choices of the morning. The rooms were quiet but I'm not sure how well they get cleaned as my items that were left on the floor ended up with dust bunnies all over them. There was no soap in either of the toilets & the showers were very tiny, no place to get changed in private & hard to get dry in the small space provided. The free beer or shot that is emblazoned everywhere on the internet wasn't mentioned to us at all. Breakfast was good but the setup was a little odd.Overall I would stay there again, it was quiet, great location & friendly staff.

Matthew Davidson

16 June 2009 Matthew would recommend this property

Liked: Staff was really cool, and a free beer when you check in is a nice touch. Free wi-fi is great, unlike YHA, which tried to nickel and dime us over everything.I don't know about the other commenters, but all the showers I saw were fine. In fact, everything was kept quite clean.Only downside was having to kill a couple roaches in my room late at night. Other than that, I really liked it.

Liked: Free check in beer. Guy in charge even did us a BBQ. Lockers in room, free drinks, great staff and decent dorms. The place if pretty basic as it's very small but if you want a great place to stay that is informal and fun I really recommend staying.

Liked: There was one staff. He lives in the room of the reception where you are getting your breakfast too. The cleanless was simply bad and I don`t like the late breakfast (9 o`clock at the weekend). I think it`s a bit late for using the whole day.
