Good beds and proper pillows and blankets. Good size lockers under the beds which you can lock with a padlock, thanks for those! Clean toilets and showers, enough warm water and good pressure! Basic breakfast which you can top up with some fruits and juices from a supermarket close by. Only minus and disappointment are the number of electricity sockets in the room. 2 per 8 people is just not enough with laptops, cameras and smartphones around. Makes life a bit difficult!

Pretty good place to stay. Good location, staff was nice but not outgoingly helpful (i.e. not offering up info w/o being asked -like not saying "here's the key to get into the luggage storage room" after asking about storing luggage), showers were hot but barely a drizzle, included breakfast was great (just cereal, bread, PB, etc. but LOTS of it), WiFi always worked (amazing!), TONS of stairs if you're on the 4th floor! I would check out other places too, but this is not a bad choice overall!!

Great hostel, location was perfect, only a ten minute walk from Victoria and very reasonable rates. Very clean and minimal noise with an early start.

Thanks so much for your comments, we're so glad to hear your experiences at Astor Victoria were so great. We hope to see you again soon!

The hostel is quite nice mainly because of its location, which is fabulous, and also due to the fact that every common area is always very clean. The worst is that services such as showers and toilets are very small, and the kitchen is usually crowded. However, the atmosphere in there (young people, and staff) offsets all the rest.

The staff was great! Really helpful! Facilities are good, bathroom and shower really small, but quite clean. I would recommend the Hostel. It is perfect for short stays and convenient location near Victoria station.

For young travelers it is a great place to stay. Theres lots of pots and pans in the kitchen to cook with instead of having to go to restaurants. The staff was really helpful. I wish the bathrooms had been a little cleaner.
