The staff were so friendly and kind (especially Crystal), and shared great recommendations! Even when I had to call for a taxi at 4 am, they were awake and helpful. I would definitely go back.

Great little hostel, has all facilities, working wifi and free breakfast. I liked the cosy feel to it, the rooms were nice and good storage for your things. Would recommend!

Overall a good hostel. We stayed here for 5 nights, our private room was on the top floor so it was very quiet at night. The shared bathrooms were very clean and the showers were wonderful. The provided breakfast of bread, cereal and tea was good enough for us! It was in a great location for anyone using the Underground to get around London!

This is one of the best hostels that I have stayed. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It would have been great if they have enough bread supplies (for breakfast) for late comers like myself (got there at almost 9.30am where the kitchen closes).

The hostel was ok and the staff helpful but we happened to have atypical company during the first night of our two night stay. Not the fault of the hostel people though, so generally rather good impression. Expensive though but everything is in London.

Was overall a good hostel. Only stayed one night. Has got a lot of longer term residents which may make meeting other travellers little harder. Excellent location just up from Earl,s court station, on the tube line to

First UK hostel I've stayed in after staying in many others around the world, good to see we can get it right over here too! Location was great, easy walking distance from both underground and overground train stations. Lockers were best I've ever seen, MASSIVE and had a built in safe! Shower was powerful and hot. Alot of long-termers here gave the place a great atmosphere!! Free WIFI and breakfast! would definitely recommend and would definitely use again when in London. FUNNY DOG TOO :).

Excellent hostel to stay at! Has a very spacious kitchen with a fridge to store your own food. The hostel provides free food for the breakfast and there is also a tv room and a laundry room with a washing machine and clothes dryer. The company at the hostel and the staff was excellent.

It is a small hostel near Earl's Court Tube Station which is quite easy to travel around. The hostel is comparative clean enough with a big kitchen and living room. The only problem is the top bunk does not have any supports. I slept in the top bunk which is quite high and was scared of falling, so I hardly turned my body around. Additionally, some young male adults came to find jobs in London or stayed in this hostel for a long time, thus causing a messy room and no hygiene.

Excellent location, a couple hundred metres from the Tube station, a couple hundred meters from the bus-stop connecting London - Luton Airport. The owners are extremely friendly & helpful. Shops, Tube station, pharmacy, supermakets, restaurants, pubs, etc all with in 5 mins walk. Great value for money.

Strategic location close to Earls Court tube station. However, there's no receptionist at the time that I arrived, around 9pm. Some guest opened the door for me. Other than that, it's good value.

I had a great stay and am planning on staying for 2 more weeks. Barmy Badgers has a very homely feel, the facilities are great and breakfast is nice - fresh bread is provided daily as well as coffee, tea, milk and cereal. It was great to have cooking facilities like a gas stove and large fridge and dry storage for your personal groceries. I would recommend staying here if you are planning on staying here long term as it's less like a hostel and more like a large share house.

The hostel itself was nice and the room I stayed in was roomy. My only "complaint" here is I was set for a late check-in at 9pm. However, I wasn't told that the receptionist leaves at 8pm. I stood in the cold for a good 10 minutes frantically buzzing the door til some guests took pity and opened it up for me. I found my linens and a note by the desk but was never advised as to the code for the door or what the deal was. Other than that, I definitely recommend this place.
