Liked: The staff were very helpful and cheerful. The hotel was immaculately clean and it was located close to a Tube station, except that the station was closed at the time we were there.

Disliked: It was very hot inside even though the outside temperature was not. There was no air conditioning and we didn't get the fan we asked for.

Liked: I liked the tidiness of the room, free towel, and the cafe has reasonable prices.

Disliked: the noise! my gosh, there must have been a herd of 20+ middle school students on a group trip or something. they seemed to have run the place. running up and down aisles, shouting and knocking on each other's doors at 7 am! this is not acceptable and quiet hours should be reinforced! the tub and faucets were also annoying -- it was either extremely hot or cold, but then cold just became extremely hot after a while. free internet would also be nice. 20 min for 1 pound is pretty pricey. the last hostel I stayed in at least gave us the first 40 minutes for free using the same cards (global gossip)

Liked: UMI London was GREAT! Very clean, comfortable, and friendly. The location cannot be beat. About a 5 minute walk to Bayswater train station which will take you anywhere you want to go in London. The neighborhood of the hotel is great. Tons of cute pubs, good shopping, friendly people. restaurants, etc. I will definitely be booking another trip to London and staying at UMI London again. Could not have loved it more.

Disliked: The walls are thin so it was noisy in the morning.

Liked: The location was good: there were bus and tube stops nearby, as well as a street with a lot of stores. Even the area seemed really nice! The staff was very friendly and helpful. We arrived on Saturday night, and many people were coming in asking for the karaoke bar in the basement! We didn't check it out, but it seemed like a fun place and a great place to meet (mostly British) people.

Disliked: The only bad thing was that the place seemed a little old. The floors squeaked and such. It was nice and clean though, so not a problem.
