The Court Hostel Reviews

I enjoyed my stay here. The location was excellent and the prices were cheap. It was hard to lock my doors when leaving the room was about the only thing that I did not like.

Please buy a new mattress, because the current one is really bad! The staff is very helpful and really nice, the bathroom was ok, the room was clear.

Wonderful staff, great location. I dont have a bad word about it. Would go back again.

The best of this hostel is the location. It's really in the middle of everything and near the main underground! The staff is very nice and friendly. The rooms are small , but nice! the sheets are clean and the water in the shower is hot - that's very important to me :) the only problem is maybe, because i was in winter there, that the whole bathroom is not heathed and it was cold! The breakfast is a bit poor and they do not have enough place for all to sit down, but it's ok...:))

It was ok. The rooms where really small and the bathrooms were not so clean.

Do not expect too much, you won't get disappointed.

Everything was good except that the drain was a bit blocked in the shower (so I was up to my ankles in water that wouldn't go down the drain at the end of a ten minute shower) and I saw a mouse in my room. But the staff were really friendly (although I felt a little bit like a kid living with parents because every time I passed reception on my way out, if it was kind of late at night, they asked if I was ok as if they were concerned that I was going out at that time. This was a bit weird).

As always, the court hostel provided friendly and efficient service! Thank you

Very small, 2 showers and 3 toilets (as far as I found) for the whole place. Bed was awful. Certainly can't complain about the location though!

Good hostel.

I got bed bug bites and witnessed a mouse passing by inside my room just within 2 nights! The male "manager" denied having the problem, said it was my problem. His tactics were to make you feel like you were the single one who had complained over the years - but the fact was not - you may refer to HostelWorld's Reviews on 1/10, 11/8, 9/8, 12/7 (two), 7/7, 4/7, 20/6/11 etc, or other websites' reviews like 21/9, 21/8, 20/8, 8/8, 24/7, 18/7 etc on Hostelbookers & 26/9, 7/8 & 5/8 etc on TripAdvisor.

The bed and pillow were very uncomfortable and the bed spread was stained and/or dirty. I could hear street noise in my room at all hours of the night. That being said, I did manage to save alot of money while staying in London (one of the most expensive cities in the world!). Perhaps it is true that one gets what they pay for???

Court Hostel was worst and total rip off and we were cheated by booking through HostelWorld.com the rooms (sorry you ca not call it room it was small stinking bathroom with two bunker beds ) . Before we pay money tkhe Manager didi not show us the room he took money for both the days and then showed the dirty bathroom fitted two bunker beds. When we refused to stay and asked our money back we had to go to police station and thereafter we checked in hotel Oliver. Manager is most third class

C'est un hôtel bas de gamme (les chambres sont minuscules et les matelas en ressorts sont... intéressants...) mais plutôt sympathique. Le staff était très sympa, et la cuisine ouverte jusqu'à 23h avec thé et café (et cuisinière) à disposition était un lieu de rencontre cosmopolite. Bonne ambiance, réception 24/24, très bon petit dej' (pas anglais, mais avec pâtisseries fraiches, et au beurre), douches minuscules mais très acceptables... Super bien situé.

Some of the lockers in the hostel rooms were broken, but the place was kept clean and tidy. Good place if you're on a budget and in London for a few days.

They are good people and i enjoyed my stay at the hostel.

First off the sign outside says "Court Hotel" so me and my friends couldn't find the place and no one around the area knew of a "Court Hostel". Also the staff will just key into your room whenever they need to, they keyed in all 3 mornings we were there. One of the times the woman opened the door, while we were sleeping, to show someone what our room looked liked. It was completely unprofessional.

The room was super small but the bed was comfy enough. Keep in mind if you're staying in the winter the room gets rather chilly, couldn't get the heater to work...They cleaned the bathrooms regularly but they were a bit rundown regardless. The hostel has a good location and is right near an underground station, security was good, and the staff was friendly. All in all, it's a good place for simply sleeping.

Great location, super friendly staff, but a bit dingy and could have had a better bathroom setup.

The location of the hostel is excellent, right next to Earls Court tube and the night buses stop 2 minutes away. I stayed in a 3 bed room with 2 friends, so I don't know what the bigger dorms were like. Our room was small but perfectly fine for the price and purpose of the trip. We had a wash basin in our room, and a tv, and big windows.
