Abercorn House Hostel Reviews

A cheap hostel in a nice district (hammersmith). Very convenient localisation : 3 Subway lines, shops and restaurants. Found excellent old fashioned pubs next to the Thames (great view!). A very good value for money. Convenients : It's very NOISY. We took a private room but you could hear people passing by in the corridor as they were in the room. Staff could also be nicer.

room very small, too small. there aren't tables in the kitchen, you have to eat in your bed

it's a very good place to stay a couple of days: safe, clean and very close to hammersmith tube station

all good..only missing hangers in the bathroom, in the showers

We only were booked here for one night, but I definitely would have been happy to stay longer! We originally reserved a double room, but the hostel upgraded us to a private flat because the hadn't completed matinance on the room. They even paid for the taxi to take us to the new location. We were very happy with our stay.

you have to pay in cash there when you arrive

Abercorn was super clean and somewhat modern. Excellent location super close to hammersmith tube station. The option to have private rooms is great too. The only downside is they charge 1 pound for 60 min of internet. Not a bad price, but I wish wifi was free. Would 100% stay there again and recommend it to everyone!

Please, don't stay here. The staff are terribly rude and the doors are so loud that you won't get much sleep. This experience almost ruined London for me.

The Hostel has great location near underground station (less ten 3 minutes’ walk distance). It is rather clean, still it could be cleaner especially showers during morning shower “rush hours”. The kitchen could be better equipped (eg sharp knifes). Comparing price to quality it is worth to be recommended especially for people which are able to reduce its requirements. It is not bad, so we did not complain during our stay but it still could be better.

The kitchen needs pans and saucepans if not they should warn the clients to brig their own ones.

This was a good choice for a budget one-night stay. The guy upgraded me to a double-ensuite room for free, so I would say the staff there are really nice. It's a no frills hostel, but perfect for having a decent, central, clean and cost-effective place just to rest your head when in London. I'd probably book with them again.

We spent only one night at the hostel and what we liked the most was the short distance from the tube station. We use the internet conection (1 pound per hour) which was OK. The room was OK, clean and confortable for the money we paid. The single aspect wich we did not like was the fact the we could not pay with the card and have to return to the tube station to get the cash.

Very noisy in the mornings due to refurbishments and street noise. The staff seemed a bit arrogant as they didn't even look up to say hi as we came and went during the stay. Very clean and nice though, and a good choice of rooms.

BRILLIANT LOCATION! Everything nearby (pubs, supermarkets, tube station a very short walk) but the street it's on is so quiet, like it's the suburbs! The hostel itself hasn't got much atmosphere, not very hospitable,rather indifferent staff and our room was quite small, BUT, it was really clean, comfy bed and we even had a fridge in the room.Definite minus was that the room was very loud - we could hear everything in the corridor and it kept waking me up during the night :( still - good value.

We had a very pleasant stay at this hostel. Everything is still new, cause the hostel was renovated recently. The rooms are a good size (we stayed at a room with 2 single beds) and even have a fridge, which is very handy. The rooms are clean, so are the toilets and showers. Only down thing about the showers is that there is no place to put your clothes. The hostel is close to the subway, only a few minutes walk. This hostel is definitely worth you money, would stay here again.

Good location, very comfortable for bus and tube. The bathroom and bed are small (double room with private bathroom) in particular the bathroom has some little defects (eg water leak). The room is well organized and ideal to stay for the night.

This was the cleanest place I have ever stayed. The people who work there need to smile. They are nice but they initially come across as not nice because they don't smile. The location rocked. From the airport I took the Tube for less than 30 minutes to arrive and walk another 4 minutes from the tube station to the hostel. I highly recommend it.

Had been here before so I knew pretty much what to expect. However, we got a free upgrade from a double room with a shared bathroom to a room with an ensuite! I was very happy they didn't just tell me they had no more available of the type I had booked - I feel it shows good customer service. All the staff was friendlier in general than my first visit, it seemed.

This was my second stay at this particular hostel and once again only for a night as I had to catch a flight from Heathrow the next morning.Quite sterile/bland and if it looks like a hospital that is because it once was! That being said its very close proximity to Hammersmith tube station which is directly on the Picadilly line that will take you to Heathrow. No need to change or buy expensive Paddington tickets. Desk man @ night: rude, didn't read email. Morning staff man nice, remembered me :)

I stayed in a twin en-suite room at Abercorn House. It was neat, clean and offered all the basics. The linen and towels were changed on time. There was plenty of storage space as well as a mini fridge, which proved to be very useful. Access to a kitchen for basic heating and cooking was also useful. The bathroom was also neat, except that the sink would clog. What we missed was a locker or a cupboard that could be locked. The location was excellent as it very close to the Hammersmith station.
