Abercorn House Hostel Reviews

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.

Cheap, good location, not much atmosphere and wifi costs 1£ per hour!

Very good hostel if you are staying in a private room and are looking for something like a hotel - in our case we felt like we almost had the value of a hotel with hostel prices! But not exactly the place to meet people... The showers are the only downside: there is no place to hang clothes or a towel and the water temperature cannot be regulated. Otherwise, this was an excellent stay! The small shop at the reception is great, I could even buy a plug adaptor.

The bathrooms were extremely uncomfortable during my stay, the heating on them was off and so while water was not running I freezed.

Nice and clean hostel across the Hammersmith station. Friendly staff and a snackbar with foods and drinks from the supermarket for supermarketprices. Some working points: - No breakfast included (maybe the first time for me in a hostel?) - Internet is not free, 1 £ an hour, so you just go to a Starbucks (2 are around) or the McDonalds for free Wifi. - There are no lockers. The staff said that it's unusual stuff gets stolen which made me sceptic about the security.

Perfect value for money. This is the right place if you're just looking for a plain place to sleep, nothing fancy. The atmosphere is rather business-like, no coziness (e.g. you can't sit in the kitchen). Very good tube / bus connections and shops just a 5-minute walk away at Hammersmith station. Would have preferred if soap and toilet paper had been provided directly in the bathroom. Also, some hooks in the bathroom would be handy.

The Hostel is about 20 minutes away from the central part of London by the tube and it is a 5-8 minute walk to the underground station Hammersmith. The double ensuite was fine for two people and it included a fridge and some dishes as well as cutlery, which came in pretty handy sometimes. One problem though, was that the walls were pretty thin. Other than that we were very satisfied and they even have room service.

It's a nice place to stay. My room was provided with cutlery, plates, bows, cups, mugs and a minibar. The walls are thin enough so you can hear when someone laughs on the room next to yours, but are thick enough so you can sleep in peace. Two downsides : 1 - No free wifi. 2 - In four days, they changed my towels once but never cleaned my room.

It was overall a great stay. However, if free WIFI provided it will make my stay perfect!

It is sooooo loud in this hostel, the hostel itself is nice, clean and comfortable but we had some sleepless nights because of people screaming in the middle of the night, smashing doors, running around in the middle of the night. I live the hostel and the location but this fact is really annyoing..

The staff is no more than informative. When asking for coffee in the late afternoon they said it's only served in the morning. Shared bathrooms are tiny and no fun to visit.... There are many kitchens, but no pans, utensils or plates etc. At all. The walls are paper thin and we woke up several times during the nights (3) from noisy people in other rooms and in the hallway. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Good hostel. Clean. Front staff ambivalent and apathetic.

in general the hostel is perfect for staying in london: the only bad thing are the really thin walls, you hear everything. but besides that the stay was good.

We were quite pleased with the hostel. It was clean, the staff much friendlier than expected! And the location was perfect! Yes, one bed and one mattress were a bit of a pain and there were indeed no pots and cutlery in the kitchen but my family and I had been very happy with what we got for such a good price!!! And they accept children - great! We would definitely book it again!!!

Any business should makes good deal for its permanent customers.

Very clean, excellent location, the only downside is that you have to pay for wifi which is a problem for a person on a strict budget.

There is no facilities, the guys works there are very unhelpfull, unfriendly . They were even rude sometime. The place gets noisy at night and i can hear every one talking outside my room. Dont go there for a long stay the price is good but.of you need to stay in hammersmith for 2 nights maximum then go stay there.

It is better to provide free Wifi for the customers.

Hallway and bathroom were very very cold, prepare to wear two pairs of socks! Also the handle on the cabinet was broken - room 121. But mini fridge and cutlery/dishes provided were very nice. Overall location very convenient - being close to the Tube stop with all its amenities (it's a shopping center with grocery store, fast food, etc) is invaluable.
