Liked: The owner was nice and the location was very central. Breakfast was included, which was really nice - if there had been anything left when we came down to eat in the morning.

Disliked: The rooms where very cold, and you could hear the cars on the street, even though the window was closed. The blankets were really thin and useless. Breakfast was included, but when we came down do eat, pretty much everything was gone, and wasn't replaced. Very annoying, when you after reading the review at Hostel Bookers, were craving for croissants. :)

Liked: Great location only metres from Earl's Court tube station. Really friendly night manager who goes out of his way to help. Breakfast is good with croissants, toast, cereal, tea, coffee and juice.

Disliked: Beds weren't the most comfortable I've ever slept in and Earl's Court Road is quite busy so traffic noise may be an issue if you're a light sleeper.

Liked: Perfect location very near to Earl's court tube station. Great connections all over London. Very good health food store just 10m away from hostel. (Lots of great vegan foods there. )Other stores and restaurants are near too.Breakfast in hostel is basic and freshly baked every morning.(continental) Wonderful and helpful staff.(especially by night.) Definitely stay there again.

Disliked: Bed mattresses are little bumpy and pillows where very thin. Other than that I recommend The Court hostel. It's very basic, but good. If you like the fancy stuff this isn't place for you.

Liked: Free towels were provided for free, as opposed to described. Nice location just a few meters away from Earl Court's Station, supermarkets, restaurants, ATM machines and one pub or another.

Disliked: I stayed with my girlfriend in a double room which might have been the smallest room we got in a hotel/hostel. To cross the room you had to walk/bend over the bed between a corridor of 50cm separating the bed from the wall. The room didn't look that clean with stains all over the floor and the toilets were crowded with garbage. If you are looking to meet some travellers this is not the place as I barely saw guests at the hotel. Stay here if you have no other option and don't need to stay more than 1 night. Definitely expensive for its value.

Liked: Kitchen is great with different cooking facilities.Location is the only thing I found it worth for money. Just 5 mins walk from the Tube station.

Disliked: The Young Indian man works at Reception is extremely bad. He's rude and unpolite.It's ridiculous that he had to call the police when I was asking him something in the reception as he said I disturbed him to work!!! I sit on the chair next to the reception to wait for my friend and he said that I had to go away!! He opened guest's room to see and check when there's no one in room. Security is extremely bad! There's no individual lock in room. Rooms are so dirty and I found a dead big ant on the window! The blanket was so dirty without any cover on it and it's BLACK in color! Small of the room is fine as It's just a hostel but definately not the acceptable cleaniness standard!! Toilet is smelly and terrible!!

Liked: The location is just incredible, only a few footsteps from Earls Court Tube Station. Friendly stuff, clean sanitary facilities and altogether a good cost/performance ratio.

Disliked: Sometimes you have to wait a long time for taking a shower in the morning and my privat single room was very small, but for the offered price it's definitely a very good accommodation!

Liked: Breakfast (but you have to get up a bit early, otherwise not much left);good location

Disliked: Stairs to reach the reception, then other stairs to reach the rooms. Receptionist was just looking at me carrying my luggage, but didn't say anything. No curtain, just an empty/useless cupboard (nothing to hang the clothes). When I left, I returned the key, not even "thank you" or "bye". Then again I had to carry all my stuff.

Liked: Great location: just a few steps from Earl's Court Station. Basic yet copious free breakfast. The staff was always available, and really took heed of our exigencies (they let you leave your luggage at the hotel even after check-out). Great value for money for those who need night accommodation, close to public transportation.

Disliked: Bathrooms may look a little "shabby" at first, and they need some extra cleaning.
