Astor Museum Inn Reviews

I had the luck of staying two nights in Astor Museum Inn's annex building, which was very quiet and good to sleep in. The bed was very comfortable, and Astor Museum Inn provided probably the cleanest showers I ever encountered in a hostel. Though perhaps not as cheap as other hostels in London, it was worth every penny I payed. The location was perfect as well, next to the British Museum, the brilliant London Review book shop and close to both Holborn and Tottenham Court Rd station. Thank you!

Location is very good, but other than that I would not recommend this hostel. It is quite run-down and dirty, breakfast is minimal at best, and common areas are small and generally full. Definitely a party atmosphere so not great if you want to relax or get a good night's sleep.

I really enjoyed my stay there! Showers are great, but could benefit from some non-slip mats. Nice, bright and airy! More frequent vacuuming would also be good. The kitchen was tidy even though so many people were cooking! Overall, very good!

Lovely place right near all the sights rooms were clean staff friendly and for a good price. Also loved not having to pay for Internet and bag storage as well as adapters available again for free!

Hostel was very nice. Staff helpful. Only thing I was missing was a clean towel.

Cant recommend this hostel highly enough - it is unsurpassed for location! In addition staff are friendly, and due to its small size if you are travelling independently it is a great place to get to know other backpackers. It has a super laid back vibe. I'll be returning here next time I visit london.

Great location! I would have liked to know I wasn't in the main building with kitchen and lounge prior though.

One of the best hostels I've stayed. Stuff was super friendly and helpful. all sightseeings are within walking distance. Breakfast was cereal, cookies and toast with jam, Nutella or peanut butter.

Friendly, helpful staff, clean beds and decent breakfast included.

We had such a good time at Astor Museum --- the staff were great and very patient with all our questions. Carolina was so professional. Location couldn't' be better --- British Museum right there --- nice area--- grocery stores!! fabulous. They even arranged taxi service to Gatwick at 4 am for an early flight.Thank you Astor Museum Inn !

Really nice room, clean and staff were friendly, could walk to west end so saved loads on Taxis, only downside was that the shower was flooded so couldn't shower

Easily the nicest hostel in London. Amazing location, friendly staff, nice clean beds and proper showers. Lovely bright new kitchen too.

Overall goo hostel but if you are looking for meeting new people then there might be some better hostels around.

I went there with two friends and we really had a nice time! The staff was good and helpful! I've been in several youth hostel in London and my favourite is definitely Astor museum!

There is no doubt that we were very happy with our stay at Astor Museum Inn! The location was the seriously the best, the atmosphere and the staff were really awesome, polite, and helpfull with anything. I was surprise and amazed by the cleanliness, and I had no" bad" experiences using the bathrooms and showers - I really appreciated that ALOT! The security was great, and there were many ways to secure ones things, and that was very important for me with a valuable camera on me :) Thanks!!!

Really enjoyed this hostel. Full kitchen made cooking meals easy and breakfast consisted of fairly normal hostel essentials like toast and jam. No complaints there. They very nicely supplied me with detergent for a load of laundry. A bit far from the train station but right across from the British Museum. Would definitely stay there again. A bit of a bro-house atmosphere that's good for having a few beers and meeting others but not too over the top.

Excellent hostel!!

It's a noisy party hostel in the main building. There is a second building nearby as well that is more quiet. You might be able to move from one to the other if you don't like something if you ask the staff. The location is great, soho and the city are easily within walking distance.

The staff were helpful but not as communicative as I would have liked. Additionally, guests were extremely rude. Overall, the location and facilities, including the locker storage underneath the bunk beds, were all good, but my interactions with people negatively impacted my experience.

Great location, friendly atmosphere, engaging staff, big sized rooms, correct beds (what you'd expect from a youth hostel), very satisfying breakfast, sense of security. Two remarks maybe : general hygiene and cleanness, while satisfying overall, could be improved (air circulation from the kitchen to the top floors most notably) ; while the staff could indicate to travellers that lights should be switched off in the rooms after a certain hour, to allow those who want to rest not to be disturbed
