Decent hostel. Room was narrow but clean. Showers had hot water. Good breakfast selection. Closest tube station is Pimlico, which only has the Victoria line, but was also walking distance to Victoria.

Was a bit annoyed with the booking - apparently booking 4 beds in a 4 bed room does not guarantee that you will all be together - we were split up all over the hostel

The rooms and bathrooms are very small and they aren´t clean.

Staff was very polite and helpful. During the second night, the fire alarm rang at 4 AM...never got an explanation about what happened. Still, overall it was a nice place to stay.

Overall a very pleasant stay. Location is great, not far away from Victoria Station. Enough showers and bathrooms, so never had to wait. Also, breakfast was very good. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

Very good stay, very good breakfast !! The only thing that went wrong was the shower which wasn't very convenient.... We'll come back :)

Overall, it was pretty much as expected. Only 1 electrical outlet in a room for 6 people which was a little frustrating after a day of traveling an everyone needing to charge their phones. Also the "en suite" bathroom was a shower with a see through glass door in the middle of the room so there was really no privacy. Additional showers were close by and much more private. Staff were very nice and helpful.

Spent a night in 8-bed dorm. Over the night guests were arriving to the room and kept waking me up. The guest below me smelled so bad they I thought I will go crazy. Bathroom was extremely small. Toilet was blocked over the whole night. Shower rooms extremely inconvenient. Don't recommend. It's better to spend 10 Pounds more and sleep normally.

The hostel had a great location close to everything, the staff was very friendly as well. The breakfast was free and they had a fully equipped kitchen if you are looking to save some money. The rooms were very clean and spacious I would recommend this hostel and I would stay there again!

I stayed at Astor Victoria Hostel for 4 days. I think there would be security problems. For example I took my money and my valuable things with me when I was going to outside. However, the staff are very kind and helpful. I loved Astor Victoria :)

Breakfast was very basic with very little choices. Tiny basin in the bathrooms that makes washing up in the morning really difficult. Not practical to use the basin in the sleeping too in order no to wake up the fellow roommates in the morning.

A good place to stay. It has a nice location. Things that could be better: More places in the bedrooms to charge eletronic devices In my bedroom the sink, the shower and the toilet weren't at the same place. It could be together!!! Anyway, I'd stay at Astor's Victoria again if I returned to London one day. Thanks!

Definitely the best hostel I've been at in London. Great location, friendly staff - however, the guy in my room wasn't very clean, and he had often drinks and food under his bed. Cleanliness control should be more strict.

GOOD It's in a very central position, 30 min walking to reach the principal monuments. Rooms are quite big (we were in a six-bed room). It's clean and the staff is very nice. Not expensive at all! BAD The sinks in the bathrooms are ridicolous, and the hot/cold water tap are useless. Braekfast was poor and didn't convinced us (better to have a traditional breakfast in some pub or to go to Pimlico Fresh =) ).

I had a wonderful stay at the Astor Victoria. The only downfall was that the toilets didn't flush very well.. Other then that.. I will definitely be back again :)

I was impressed by the atmosphere introduced by the guys/girls on the reception! They really make you feel welcome. Excellent idea to organise the "Crepes Party". On the downside, the toilets and the showers could be more convenient. MY first addition would be to install some new hangers on the walls, or make sure that somehow clothes could be laid somewhere without getting wet. Alltogether very good! I would recommend and revisit gladly!

It's actually my 3rd times staying here, and I enjoy my stay everytime. Excellent location, 10 mins walk from train and coach station and 3 mins from tube. And really friendly staff.
