    A nice hostel located in mostly residential area, but very close to the natural history museum and V and A. Centrally located between a major tube station and major bus route. Staff was very helpful, the lounge is a nice place to relax, breakfast was ok. It was a bit loud and rowdy at night while... more

    It was in a great neighborhood in London and the staff was super nice. It is a little bit of a trek from the tube, but it is located right next to the Natural History Museum(free). I would stay here again. The beds were really comfy!

    Had a really good stay here. Located in a safe neighbourhood, easy access to the Tube, right by Hyde Park too. One thing, some residents in the dorm had left dirty dishes in the room, quite gross! But other than that, very clean!

    Hostel is definitely worth the money you pay for: helpful staff, well equipped kitchen, comfortable rooms, clean. Perfect location, although you must walk to the tube about 10 minutes.It was my first time I stayed at the hostel and I was really pleasantly surprised. I would recommend Astor Hyde...

    feedback: loved the dorm, only wished that the windows or ventilators could be opened a bit.. was getting a bit hot and stuffy (room 12)... would also help if plug points could be distributed a bit around the room - only 4 by the door is insufficient and inconvenient

    My sisters and I loved our night at this hostel, especially because it was our first experience staying in a hostel. The staff were great, the location was pretty good, and the whole feeling of the hostel was very good! I wish we would have reserved all our nights that we were in London at this...

    Overall very good and clean. Nice breakfast with cheese, ham, cereals, milk, tee-coffee. Great friendly staff. Our 5-bed room was on the 2-nd floor, pretty small but cozy. It had a bathroom adjoining our room with liquid soap - big plus, because in other hostels we never saw it.

    Lovely area, easy to get everywhere you want. Very busy hostel, even in winter. Double room w/ ensuite was small but very cosy. Wifi very patchy and could definately use a lift - my only complaint.
