Liked: The location of the hostel is very convenient, just few steps away from queensway rail station where have many shopping surroundings.

Disliked: Our booking for 5 days staying was removed from their system for no reason, and we had to transfer every other day to different rooms. This ruined the whole first day of our visit to london, and destroyed all the fun in daytime we had in london since we had to unpack the luggage and store them again to the downstair luggage room! EVERYDAY! whole five days. I would not choose the hostel again and strongly recommend people who want to destroy their planned trip in london to stay in this hostel.

Liked: definitely the breakfast, you can eat as much as you want, beside tost, coffee, cerelas... there're also omelettes and sausages. location is good, metro is just on the corner and bus stop just in front of hostel. stuff if helpful....

Disliked: rooms are really small, you can't pass between the bed and table/closet, tv didn't work, but all this wasn't a big problem 'cos we just slept there

Liked: I stayed in a 4-person shared room and it was good value for money.

Disliked: The lockers in the room were unsafe (could open with pocket knife) but the staff warned me about this and I didn't use it at all. I took valuables with me and left my travel bag to the room. They could improve the lockers if one could close them with own padlock.

Liked: Bathroom in the dorm. RIght next to tube station.

Disliked: Lack of security. Paid to hire a deposit box, reception girl opened the one which she had assigned to me, to find other peoples stuff in it Didn't appear to be any system to keep track of the boxes. Every door in the building creaks loudly.

Liked: Beds were good, able to get sheets for a deposit that you got back the next morning. At the time the tube was down serving at area and we had a hard time finding it, but finally were able to get there.

Disliked: It was really a bed to sleep in and we did not use the hostel for more than that. Breakfast was okay.

Liked: I liked its location and its affordable prices.

Disliked: The room was very small,there weren't any wardrobes. Customers have to pay extra if they want their valuable things to be safe. The condition of the bathroom was not proper though it was cleaned every day. This was the fifth time when I stayed at Bayswater and I could see that the breakfast provided was the lowest quality.

Liked: Very good location, good atmosphere, nice neighbourhood with lots of shops and fastfoods. Good price for one person, shower and toilete on the room, kitchen is OK, breakfest is very good.

Disliked: You have to pay for everything - internet, box for your luggages, towels... You can't pay by credit card, you have to pay deposit for key (10 pounds). Very small rooms.
