Please improve the bathroom.

Thank you so much for staying with us at Astor Victoria, we take all our reviews seriously and with the feedback you give us we endeavor to better our hostel. The bathrooms are the hardest part of the building to keep clean as so many people use them and we are trying to improve this aspect of the hostel.

Great hostel, good location (near the tube), friendly staff and very clean for such a big hostel. The breakfast was ok, although some juice would be nice. However, there is no lift, and my room was on the top (4th) floor. You need to go up a narrow staircase, which is difficult with a huge suitcase. The 4th floor toilets didn't work during my stay and going down to 3rd or 2nd floor just to go to the toilet was a bit annoying. The rooms could use an extra plug. Would stay again.

I am sorry to hear that the 4th floor bathroom was out of order. Hopefully you will come and stay with us again

I absolutely loved my stay at your hostel!It was my first time staying at a hostel i miss the hostel just as much as i miss the city. When i met up with my friends in London i would constantly brag about what a great and laid back atmosphere i was staying in. Everyone was so cool and I think the staff was extremely helpful it felt like i was staying in a college dorm rather then a hostel. You guys are AMAZING keep up the good work. THE ONLY COMPLAINT i have is that the windows where not clean

There doesn't seem to be any real intention of running a good hostel among the staff. They are mostly disinterested. Also, they need a new system of security, like a locked front door, and a secure luggage room that anyone can go into isn't secure.

I enjoyed staying at the hostel. It's really close to the metro station and this helps a lot in London. The breakfast is a bit confusing but ok. The bed was ok to.

The hostel was fine. The atmosphere was good and I met some nice people. Breakfast was fantastic and, in general, the room was OK. There were no lockers in the room (just a shelf) - that's the only thing I would improve.

For £30 a night its a bit expensive for what it is, but I suppose this is balanced out by its location in central London. Clean on the surface but the condition of some of the duvets and mattresses when we took off our sheets left much to be desired. Really friendly staff combined with the fact that we stayed in a room on the top floor with unbeatable views of the London skyline means I would reccommend this hostel

The only thing I can complain was the cleanliness, the floor in the bedroom was dirty (hair, etc), and same thing for the showers and the toilets floor. But the rest was great! Good point for the little breads for breakfast.

The Hostel staff was friendly, but the rooms were small and not very clean. There was a shower in the room, which couldn't be closed properly, so the whole night we could hear the falling water drops...and the breakfast was really poor: musli, tea, milk, butter, bread...The location was perfect, is just walking distance to the most important turistic points!

My only complaint would be that the showers and the kitchens were not clean. Good atmosphere, friendly staff, and an great location if you want to see the main tourist spots in London.

The rooms and general atmosphere are great, and the location is absolutely amazing. The showers are a bit small, and a forewarning on the steepness of the stairs would have been nice, but overall a wonderful saty and I would efinitely stay here again!

Second time @ Astor Victoria. It was all good. Highly recommended to each and everyone, man & woman. If u live in dorm, remember that u gotta share the room with your mates, and u can't live like u own the whole place. Humble yourself, respect your roommates or book a private room from Hilton. Peace, Love & Unity. Bless.

Rooms were not really clean. The sink in the room was bloked, the floor dirty and seemed not being cleaned every day. Besides that the staff was nice and the location convenient.
