The location is very close to Paddington station which. Lots of toilets and adjustable shower bath. This hostel have full english breakfast ..not only toast and coffee. Because of this hostel is close to train station and tube station so we hear the sound of train since ~ 6 am.untill midnight.

For 19 pounds, you also get a delicious English breakfast worth 7 pounds. There are convenience stores and other restaurants just across the street. It's 2-minutes from Paddington Station.

Amazing hostel with a great pub downstairs. A true London experience. Good food for dinning, specially the Shepard's pie. Good brews and a great staff, they see to the pub also, however they are happy to help out with anything else. The facilities where clean and the room was good sized with lockers. The noise from the pub is not that bad, is just regular street noise. The breakfast is amazing! three good choices, but the full english breakfast is a perfect way to strat a day.

It's right next the road. It could be a bit noisy but it's location is good, right next to paddington station. Wifi works in the room. The bar is down. Very convenient!

I'm very disappointed that no one has responded to my emails about getting a deposit refund (for the keys) to my credit card. Please ensure that this doesn't happen to anyone else. For now, I cannot recommend your hostel.

We stayed at the hostel for two nights. The location is excellent. It's just three minutes away from Paddington station. The cleanliness of the rooms and the facilities was OK for a cheap hostel but could be slightly better. The breakfast was good. You could choose between cereals & toast, eggs & toast or full English breakfast. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere of the pub was nice. I would recommend it for backpackers and people who want to stay a few nights in a cheap hostel.

I'm very happy with the hostel. The only weak point was the placement of the rooms. Me and my schoolmates booked 4 beds in a 6-bedroom, but finally we had to sleep in a 8-bedroom. In fact, there is nothing to say against, as we would have been separated if this would have not been done. We also got a recount for sleeping in a cheaper room. But the hostel should inform bookers in future about things like this.

Great position for exploring London. Although there was no kitchen so a long stay would not be possible.

good breakfast! the staff are all kind and friendly. the only problem to me is the wireless, it looked blocking some ports for IM or something so that my macbook air was always kicked off from the internet whilst my android phone and ipad could connect without problems. It would be great if it can offer some free drink (tea or coffee) all the time of stay!

The best thing about this hostel is the free breakfast and the coupons they give you once you check in. It is right by a metro stop which is helpful but not really a convenient location for walking to historic sights. Some of the staff was amazing while others were kind of stand-offish. The windows are not double sealed so plan on hearing EVERYTHING on the streets from your room. I think it is a little pricey for what you get but I guess you have to remember you're in London!

Great place. Easy to get to with all the buses and underground lines that stop in Paddington and still zone one. Free breakfast was a real time and money saver. Internet could be a little better.

This would have been a great stay, except l arrived to a room that had not been cleaned when the occupants left. The bathrooms were not cleaned efficiently and the room had not been hoovered or touched during my 2 night stay. The staff were great, the cleanliness lets this hostel down.

A very nice hostel thats very well-maintained. Wasn't very busy while I was there, which could be good or bad depending upon what you're looking for in a hostel.
