Hostelworld says

Note: 18-40 yrs old only. Astor Hyde Park won 1st Best Small hostel chain and 1st in the Lifetime achievement awards at the 2015 Hoscars and it?s easy to see why. It's located in the upscale neighbourhood of South Kensington beside Hyde Park and close to several of London's best museums. Guests have praised this location for being a "wonderful area close to everything [but] also far enough away to be off the tourist trail". One reviewer said this is "a great hostel if you're looking for somewhere central in London without paying a fortune". We like their relaxed, friendly staff, who we've been told are "very helpful, personable and informative".

If I could give this place negative stars for atmosphere I would. This hostel is full of working 40 yr olds who just needed to find the cheapest place to sleep in London. Not the place if you're looking to socialize or meet people. Location is good. The street its in is beautiful but the nearest underground station (South Kensington) is a good 15 min walk away. So if ur gonna spend most of the time just around the area or in the park its good but otherwise not the best best location.

It was a great place in a great location. However, I think the bathrooms could’ve been cleaner and I struggled with the lockers for the luggage because they did not fit a normal lock like they were supposed to. I think they originally worked better or were set up weirdly maybe?? Overall, great place though.
