Liked: Close to tube station, shop and costa coffee nearby.

Disliked: Unsafe bunk beds (no ladder to top bed, also there's no railing so you can fall off the bed), room floor not cleaned properly, mould in the bathrooms, no dining area (two small tables crammed in the kitchen does not count to me as dining area),very small kitchen, at 9am there were only cereals left for breakfast.

Liked: The location is good but it's a little tiring without the elevator when your room is 3rd floor. The surrounding is very convenient.

Disliked: I don't know why! But I've gotten the bite of BED BUGS here! I'm pretty sure since I only stayed in this hostel! Please do check and make the necessary measures!

Liked: The breakfast and the privacy of the room

Disliked: The room was a little bit too small but for staying only 3 nights it was ok. Plus, there were only few common toilets and this was annoying..

Liked: In my room I had a sink. It is what I liked most. And the size of the beds... quite big.

Disliked: The breakfast was very poor, the toilets were small and disgusting and the condition of the hotel in general was really poor. Not very clean and quite noisy very early in the morning.

Liked: Its location is the best: Earl's Court tube is in both zone 1 & 2, and one can travel cheaper both from the city and from outside. Even Easybus dropoff from Gatwick is within walking distance. Various big supermarkets are around. Direct tube access to Westminster, Piccadilly Circus, Lecester Square, Hyde Park Corner, Victoria Station, Paddington Station, King Cross Station, and of course Heathrow. Washing basin in room was convenient.

Disliked: Staff is a bit unfriendly, especially when we were using the kitchen, even we did nothing wrong. Internet was sometimes unstable. The common computer there is not free. Insufficient bathroom there; only one per floor. At last, breakfast yoghurt was not there ;)

Liked: The team was nice and friendly. Its well located, very close from pubs, underground and other facilities

Disliked: The matress was very old with big springs. It made it very uncomfortable. Worst of it was BED BUGS. I had 80 scratchy bites everywhere on my body, even on my face. I've been staying in hostels for a long time, its the first time I see so uncomfortable beds with bugs, its a shame!! Mouldy shower.
