The hotel is in a good place to visit London, nearby there are 2 metro station and bus stop at the end of the street. Good quality/price for an hotel in the city of London.

My purse was stolen in London and the staff really went out of their way to help me and try to make sure I had money and could get on with my life. I think also it's in a great location and the WiFi was nice.

The location was good. It was a few blocks away from the red tube and the yellow/green tube. It was also next to Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens.

Very small and smelly rooms. It is nice to have a bathroom in the dorms though and it is a pity there is nowhere we can cook in the hostel. Change the lights in the rooms. The neon light is just a nightmare. It is like the light there is in the subway - agressive and cold. Otherwise the beds were pretty confortable.

The property is very neat and clean. Being opposite Kensington Gardens is good as it is a very good area. The staff were very helpful and the private double room is very competitively priced.

I did like the six person room we stayed in where we had access to our own bathroom. However, that was about it.

It was quite a good location and the private rooms are really good. The doorns are really tiny and no elevator for them (floor 1 and 2). Also you must rent a locker. The towel costs 5 pounds and if you want to leave your luggage after checking out for a few hours - they charge you for 2 pounds.

This hostel could be great but the bar area just had no atmosphere and the staff were quite serious. Be sure to read all the information before you book as there is a 15% tax on top of the online price and a £10 deposit each when you arrive (but it's nice to get that back when you leave). Bring a towel or it will be another £5 for one.

Free Wifi and ensuite bathroom are a plus, but the room I stayed in (down in the basement area) had very little ventilation apart from 1 window which happened to be over my bed. Being the middle of Autumn having the window open during the night was impossible. As a result the room was stuffy and smelt like sweat and musky body smells. You pay for what you get.
