MEININGER London Hyde Park Reviews

sssssooooooo nice n coooool

Though the bathroom was very small it was clean and sufficient. Staff was helpful and the rooms are spacious, clean and the lockers provided are very useful (bring your own padlock). I had never stayed in south Kensington before but it is lovely there, great locations to go our for a meal, and there's generally a nice athmosphere. One detail: I would have liked a bit of fresh air at night, so talk to your roommates about opening a window :)

Best Hostel for your money in London.

I booked the 14 beds female dorm but was put into 8 beds room, which is a plus. The location is very good, close to the tube and the city center. Bathroom is really small, but it's ok if you stay in the smaller rooms or just few nights.

Clean, well priced, staff very friendly, good location, pool table and coffee bar - great hostel

Easy access to LHR Airport and Friendly Staff. subway station and Pub, Starbucks, Supermarket in 2 minutes walk. And Picadely Circus and many place to visit in London are good walking distance!

Could you offer eggs or mushroom in breakfast?

I stayed in a 14-girl dormitory. The room was good. However, the only outlets available were outside of the bathroom in the main room. To dry my hair I went in the hallway or in basement's bathroom to not wake anyone. Minor inconvenience. One day we woke up to see a BOY in the room. The hostel booked him in our girl's room but never told us or said we'd be compensated for the difference, mixed dorms are cheaper. Public bathrooms could have been cleaner. Was expensive for New Year's Eve, expected

One of the best rooms I've stayed in London by far, was expecting the trademark cramp and dodgy rooms especially when i chose the 12-bed dorm but the room size was actually very decent, and very clean! Has 2 locker drawers below the bottom bunk which were pretty large. Setbacks: room only has 2 attached shower+toilet units which were UNBELIEVABLY TINY, no communal showers elsewhere, and only 4 power sockets to share among 12 people. Word of advice: come with low expectations, rmb this is London!

the internet is too expensive

My tripod was stolen in the room,costs £90 in Norway,had most of my important stuff in the locker, but I came in late & didn't want 2 wake up everyone by forcing the tripod in the locker that late, it was only girls staying in the room & the tripod is about 1,5 kg heavy, make sure to lock your belongings in the locker no matter what, they have cameras so I wondered if they would be able to see if someone carried it out of the room in a bag that had Hama printed on it?Otherwise I enjoyed my stay

I only spent one night and it was a good place to stay as I needed to catch a morning flight from Heathrow and you can take the Picadilly line from Gloucester Rd tube station. There was very limited common area (bar) and it was full of some group so there was no place to sit down to read or meet new people in the evening. All in all, I'd recommend as a base for seeing London but not a place for those who hope to meet new people and have fun at the hostel as well.

The location was very good and the price cheap considering is London. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpfull and nice (specially Filipe from Portugal and Christina from Greece). However i think there should be more staff over the night because it can also get busy and they work hard. Overall a great place to stay. El hostal tiene una localizacion muy buena y buen precio teniendo en cuenta que esta el Londres. Nuestra habitacion estaba limpia y era comoda. Lo recomiend

No elevator until 24th of december.!!

Efficient administration, excellent breakfast, clean and well-maintained. Quiet by standards of other hostels- if you want a good night's sleep you should go here, but not if you want to party. LOcation very convenient, next to museums, near Hyde Park and tube station.

Lowest price in town.

Hostel is not bad if you are looking for a place to dump your bags, albeit in rather small lockers, and move on as it is in a decent location for the museums and close to a tube station. The common area is dead and the hostel as a whole doesn't seem to want to get guests together like other hostels do. The staff where friendly and the rooms where cleaned, although i was unlucky enough to get the rudest room mate who thought it was a great idea to shower and turn the lights on at 12:30

As a 20 year old female who knew I would be alone, I signed up for a 12 bed mixed dorm, thinking there would surely be other women in my dorm. However, I was put in a 4 bed mixed dorm with 3 much older men. Safe?

nothing hugely special about it but it was a nice place. always clean and fresh, nice enough staff, etc. not too far from the tube station, only a 5 minute walk straight down one road and just down the road from a few nice restaurants (go to the light of india place down the road from the gloucester tube stop, yummy yummy) all in all, a pleasant enough stay. =] would be nice if internet was free though, had to pay 5 pounds but got 24 hours of unlimited access. it was exactly 24 hours though!

There wasn't much information at the reception about good places to drink, or common backpacker bars. Apart from that : good!
