“ 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! ”

“ 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... ”
