extensive kitchen facilities with lot of cutlery etc enough for everyone, staff very good and cleaned up plates cutlery and pots left over after the night that people didnt clean themselves. staff very friendly and helpful, always there working even at 2am in the morning when kitchen closed. lots of toilet rolls.

lack of soap bars , i brought my own but it went walkies. breakfast should open up earlier than 8am.

Very clean, people in the room considerate young travellers, with no dodgy personalities or weirdness. I stayed only 1 night and had a good night’s sleep and a good shower. Staff at the reception were friendly.

It’s a hostel - you need to sacrifice privacy and own comfort - but as far as hostels go, this is a very good one.

Great location , good facilities, good size kitchen dining room and lounge with large TV screen.

Being a dug out for eating meat by vegans and vegetarians in the kitchen and dining area. Making me feel quite uncomfortable. After cooking my food twice, I then went out to restaurants when I could eat my food without being judged. I have the impression that the vegans were staff members if I'm wrong I apologize. Reading a good book in the living room area by reception. Went to the kitchen to get my food. To find the living Room in darkness curtains drawn and a film on, after staying at this great hostel several times, this time I had the impression that the hostel was being run for the staff. Yet again if I'm wrong I apologize. After that negative rant lol. I've still had a great time and would definitely recommend the hostel to anybody.

The location of the hostel is excellent, it is very much in the high street Kensington and a stones throw away from Royal Albert Hall. We made some last minute plans to attend concerts at RAH since we stayed so close. The place is very safe and not noisy. Hyde park is very near. It is value for money, we ended up extending the stay. The reception is manned 24hrs. The staff are very sweet and helpful.

The dorms have 3 level bunk beds, It was not adequately ventilated. You have to get your padlock or rent one from the reception. There is no lift since it is a very old building, if your rooms and in upper floors good luck to you :P

I stayed in a 10 bed female dorm for four nights and had a pleasant stay. The bed was reasonably comfy, the room spacious, there was lockable space that could fit a large suitcase under the bed and many ports to charge devices. The bathroom floor could’ve been cleaner (just a bit of dirt and some hairs on the floor sometimes) but with ten people going in and out all day it’s not always possible to clean properly. The hostels location was great; plenty of fun restaurants and shops nearby and great connections to public transport. All in all, for the price it’s definitely worth it! If I’m ever in London again for a few days I’d definitely go back here.

This place is characterful and almost palatial, located near South Kensington and the Natural History Museum in one of the world's most luxurious neighbourhoods. It's well located, in an area nice all of itself and not far from the Piccadilly line - some very nice watering holes locally though be aware it is about £10 a pint at the time of writing! As soon as I got there, tired and bedraggled, staff were extremely kind and helpful. Has a comfortable TV room that looks like something from a period drama, and downstairs is a large kitchen, dining area and chilling area for all the digital nomads. I really liked the room, again firm triple-decker 'pod' type beds with light and multi-sockets, though no privacy curtain. There's also a useful 'workbench' in the middle of the room where people can recharge phones, work off laptops, sit and read magazines etc - a useful functional space I thought. Bathrooms seem to be slightly at a premium with one inside the room and two outside it, so once or twice I had to rush to the ground floor - but the toilets themselves were modern and clean with a decent hot power shower, usually the weak point of many an otherwise fine hostel. I loved it here personally, and will be sure to come again!

Nothing negative to report, I really liked it here. Just for awareness be advised that at key times all the bathrooms on a floor may be in use and you'll have to go elsewhere. Also know that there isn't a bar or restaurant on site though plenty large fridges and cupboards for own food plus microwaves and a sticker marking system

The location is amazing, super close to Hyde Park, a 1 min walk from a bike rental station. For the price the hostel is awesome. Loads of kitchen and fridge space, loads of places to chill or work, plenty of plugs around the lounge and dining area.

Beware you could end up on the top floor, which results in loads of steps up and down. The room I stayed in had a en suite bathroom which was awesome, the shower though was very small and easy to bump the on off switch which caused me to burn myself a few times by hitting it and it getting very hot very quick.

- The room, bathroom, and toilet were clean and well-maintained. - The bed and mattress were also comfortable and spotless. - The location was excellent, and the breakfast offered was delicious. - The staff were friendly and attentive

I arrived early, and while the bed in my room was already prepared, I wasn’t allowed to check in. I was asked to wait until 3 p.m., which I found inconvenient. My room was located on the 3rd floor, but there was no elevator, so I had to climb many stairs. On the second day, my key card access was deactivated, so I had to climb up and down twice unnecessarily. Other than that, everything else was good.

Of course the location, it was great. The hostel is really central with London's museums and South Kensington not further than a ten minute walk away!

Not so sure about the room size for the amount of beds, but everyone all returned to our room at such different times the room did not seem as crowded as it was... Maybe a small warning or question for those in higher bunks? Not even the youngest of hostel guests can all get maybe so easily to the top!! Hopefully, there was some possibility to choose that while making the booking? And my USB socket took all night to charge my phone.

It was my very first experience of staying in a hostel and i’m really satisfied overall. First all, the staff was absolutely fantastic, really helpful, cheerful and creating a sense of community. Every one of them gets a raise like right now!!! Haha The bathrooms and rooms were cleaned regularly so that was a great thing. The beds and linens were also clean and nice. If i’ll ever need to stay in a hostel in London, i won’t even hesitate

The kitchen and living room were open from 8am to 2am, for someone who works late nights it was a bit inconvenient as i quite often wanted to have a place to work comfortably or get a cup of coffee at 6-7am, so you have to wait till it opens but other than that - amazing!
