Liked: Close to Earls Court station and some good pubs/restaurants.
Disliked: Dirty bathroom, with mould on walls and ceiling, floor always wet, bin rarely emptied, frequent lack of toilet paper/soap; tiny kitchen (about five people can fit in there comfortably; what about the rest of the guests - if there are 18 rooms?!); cramped room with a mattress so old the springs are sticking out, and the mattress too big for the bedframe, and no duvet, just a single sheet for a double bed?!; window bolted open; no lounge in sight; a heater in the room that was impossible to regulate.. Really, the worst place I ever stayed.

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Everything, room was very small, looked out on to a noisy busy road the single glazed windows may as well have been open. It was right next to a crossing which beeped at all hours. When we asked for some soap for the toilet (not an unreasonable request?) we were told no problem but despite asking multiple times the soap never appeared!! The bathroom was absolutely disgusting, pubes all over the shower with blocked drains and skiddies in the loo.

Liked: It was really really nice......wonderful staff and breakfast.It was quiet and peaceful and I had a very good night's sleep.The hostel had got some previous bad reviews but i can say that they are definitely wrong.The place was clean and everything was well organised and it is situated in a very good location.The location is perfect to easy to travel and see many places and the hostel is very relaxing and safe.I had a wonderful night so don't give a good place like this such a hard time.
Disliked: The kitchen is a bit small so breakfast time can be a bit crowded and busy.If there was a bigger kitchen it would be perfect!!!!.................

Liked: Great continental breakfast that's included in the price. Friendly staff and great location in the middle of Earl's Court
Disliked: I suffered torture in the form of sleep deprivation during my first night there due to a fellow bunker being the worst snorer I've ever encountered (he also talked in his sleep). I had to move out on my final night to avoid risking another sleepless night. The hostel is narrow, with several staircases, and lacks bathrooms based on its size.

Liked: The property location was excellent, 2mins from the station and near lots of pubs and shops.
Disliked: The room was very very small with only just enough room for a bag on the floor at the end of the bed, which we had to move to get out the door. It was also very loud and noisy from the traffic.

Liked: l! It's right in London so you can easily go from one place to the other. The staff was helpful in answering my questions and showing me where to go, very nice people! There is a kitchen so you can cook, a lounge to relax in with music, chairs, and internet . The bedrooms were super clean. Bathrooms and showers are spotless as well. Highly recommended!!

Liked: Breakfast provided was really good
Disliked: Was so dirty and dingey, I didn't want to touch anything! Had to wait sooo long for showers, and toilets were in the bathrooms, so you have to wait for ages for them too. No ladders on the bunks so you have to stand on someone elses bed to hoist yourself up! I'm not super fussy, and don't mind staying in a grotty hostel as long as the atmosphere is good, but this was just gross.

Liked: i feel very regret when the day i arrived the hostel! Everything in this hostel is horrible, dirty and old. This is totally not worthy to book this hostel for staying.

Liked: My stay was very good and I must say that you will 100% get what you have paid for. Decent rooms and comfortable beds, and also they have free wifi in the rooms which helped me a lot. There was a very nice breakfast provided every morning, clean sheets, a nice temperature in the room, and a fairly private shower.The location is is good, and the surrounding area has a lot of pubs and restaurants for you to enjoy at night. You aren't necessarily going to get your typical hostel experience here. but it is always a reliable place to stay when going through London. I would deification recommend to my friends...

Liked: Advantages: - fantastic location, just 1 minute to District line underground, which takes us to Westminster etc, - McD, KFC, Burger Kind, Starbucks, Costa Coffee very close Disadvantages: - BED BUGS !!! They are in all rooms. Comes out in the night and bites you!!! You cannot feel the bite, but in the morning you are covered with bites and rush and beddings are in blood. - very old and dirty fit-out of the rooms - very very old mattress - you can fill every spring in it - dirty carpets and walls - extremely dirty bathroom with moulds everywhere !!! By everywhere I mean EVERYWHERE !!! - kitchen 2 x 2 m2. All you get is juice, milk, tee, some cereals and some sweet bread form M&S - of course if you will wake up early enough to have any before other locators I think it's easy to decide if it's worth to stay in this hotel. But, if somebody has any doubts, the answer is NO!!!

Liked: Not much. One of the beds in our double room was moderately comfortable...
Disliked: The bathrooms were disgusting. One didn't even have a sink and the others were moldy, smelled and were just gross. May have been other guests' fault, but it certainly wasn't cleaned up. The mattress on the top bunk in our double was the worst I've encountered... Like a bag of springs. One cut me as it was poking out of the mattress. The room was grimy, way too dirty for what we paid.

Liked: My stay was very good and the staff really welcomed me with a great smile. I was grateful for the free breakfast! Free WiFi, you only have to ask for the key .I felt safe and I feel like the staff really made the effort to answer any questions I had about traveling around the city and making sure I felt comfortable at the hostel.If you are looking for a quiet place to relax and sleep, this is it.
