Good value for money.

I saw a lot of bad reviews and I was worried about staying here, but I was glad to find they were wrong. Its nothing fancy or special but it was clean, not too noisy (and I'm a light sleeper), and the breakfast of toast and cereal was fine for me. The staff kept my passport safely behind the desk my whole stay which I was thankful for. We had a 6 person room but it was only ever filled to 4. If you ever lived in a college dorm you will be fine with this place, it was a good value.

Nice location in a nice neighbourhood. Unfortunately, no lockers! Some of the staff are friendly and helpful, some are not (I had a bad experience with a rude, uncaring staff member). My room was clean and breakfast was poorly served, but decent.

Odlična pozicija hostela, blizu centra, kraj stanica javnog prijevoza 1. zone. Jednostavan doručak, opremljena kuhinja i sasvim korektno osoblje. Uredna soba, iako se uoči istrošenost posteljina i samog kreveta. Odlična vrijednost uloženog i dubivenog. S obzirom na cijenu, ne očekivati previše. Ako tražite mjesto za prespavati, te ostatak dana provodite u uživanju u turističkim atrakcijama, Acacia Hostel ja pravo mjesto za vas.

Overall an okay hostel. It was really close to amazing museums and to grocery stores. I didn't like the fact I signed up and was charged for a 6 person bedroom, yet was in an 8 person bedroom and the second night we were 7 people. When i told the person in the front desk all he said was that I was wrong and that there was no way there was a 7th person. He didn't bother to check. The wifi didnt work in the room, only upstairs.

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME TO TRAVEL ALONE, AND I THINK MY CHOICE FOR ACACIA HOSTEL IS NOT A BAD START. GENERALLY, IT'S QUITE CONVENIENT FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO HAVE A CHEAP VISIT IN LONDON FOR ITS FACILITIES AND LOCATION. BUT DON'T COMPARE IT TO SOME 5 STAR HOTELS. FOR YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO WANT TO DISCOVER A CITY WITH LOW BUDGET, IT'S EXACTLY A GOOD CHOICE. YOU HAVE MORE CHANCE TO MEET DIFFERENT PEOPLE HERE. MEANWHILE, IF YOU PURSUIT A LUXURY NIGHT IN LONDON, YOU'D BETTER CONSIDER OTHER HOTEL

It was a good experience at Acacia Hostel. Localitation is very very good. Near to the museums, Hyde Park... And you can walk to Harrods and most important buildings... The room price was the cheapest in London when we were there. The room was perfect for a couple but if you need to share the room, I do not know about. Beds are little unconfortable and the room was hot The cleanliness is normal but the problem is people... Sorry, I did not use the kitchen utilities. I can recommend it!! Enjoy!!
