Only Internet access is a bit expensive, but there are plenty of cheaper internet cafes near South Kensington station or in the city.close

I stayed in a Single Ensuite Bedroom, seems rather odd when i found out the WC+Shower room is actually double the size of the bedroom!

It's alright overall if you are just looking for a place to sleep for a night. But I'd strongly advice you to leave the place before 8am!!! Not sure if it's London or just that particular area (with a few construction sites around), the air got so awfully polluted in the morning until i was forced to wake up though i had a late night.close

the staff did NOT tell me i have to change for another room, then they removed my stuff! i got very angry! they have the responsibility to inform customer. i don't mind changing room if i got noticed before. feel unrespected!

Clean and in a very nice area of London. Not the best hostel for meeting people, as it seems to be mostly used by school groups. Lounges and a TV downsatirs though, and the breakfast is great although not free.

Extremely well-functioning hostel: clean light rooms, helpful staff eager to provide any kinds of small but necessary things: from baggare room, cheap phone calls home to a cup of coffee in the lobby. And 12-bed room turned out to be 7-bed room! Would stay there again

I've loved every single Meininger I've stayed at. Yes, they're full of groups, but once again, I received a free upgrade - from a 12 bed to a 4-bed, for the same price!

Clean rooms, nice staff, and pretty close to the underground, but more like a motel than a hostel.

The staff was great and the hostel definatelly has a character! Although it doesn't have much fun elements, it doesn't matter, you really don't need them, the hostel itself is special.

Room was small but clean and tidy, lockers included (take your own padlock, or hire one from reception). The 6th floor is reserved for hostellers, other levels providing things such as permanent accommodation and conference rooms. There is one communal area with a TV downstairs and a restaurant, though it is difficult if you want to meet people with the mix of residents/hostellers that are there.close

The hostel, and we stayed in a twelve bed mixed dorm was fabulous. Everything was clean and the people staying in the room were all very respectful and nice to one another. My only compliant was that there wasn't much to do in terms of nightlife in the area, but the hostel is just within walking distance of the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert, which cannot be beat. Also, the bathrooms (there were two in our room of 12 which was nice) was that they were rather small (think the size of an airplane bathroom, but add a shower). Overall, great hostel and I would definitely come back again!close

Staff and Guests were all very friendly and the hostel was very clean. The only drawback was the lack of a public kitchen. Otherwise this is a fantastic facility.

A very flexible place, seems like people of all types stay here, from literally residents, backpackers, camp/school trips and more. Nice and clean although a larger locker might be nice!

Not a bad place by any means. Clean bathrooms and beds. Pretty close to a Tube Stop. I recommend becoming a member of the casino down the street because they serve free food at certain times in the evening...

The place was clean, but our room was very small. The bathrooms were also small. The room was too hot to sleep well, and one of the windows was screwed shut (the latch had broken and they hadn't wanted to fix it). Breakfast was good. Location is great, right by some museums.
