The Court Hostel Reviews

Nice staff, fantastic location, hot showers, clean bedding and nice breakfast (considering it was cheap). Could do with new mattresses, double glazing and proper shower mats. All in all though, good value for money. The staff were very pleasant and I felt safe at this hostel.

Lovely place, very neat and good value for monney. Though locating the hostel was very problematic for me due to the hidden sihn board.

oThe receptionists try to sell the rooms at higher prices with lame excuses, so never trust them, trust the internet. I saved 5£ per night visiting a Starbucks before paying. Lockers in the rooms are almost all broken. The kitchen is good, but no pans or pots. Watch out o the table on the far right: it tilts. The place is clean and I had the luck that all the people staying there cleaned the stuff they used. The area is nice and complete with shops and transportation. Again, don't be fooled.

It was dirty, it was dirty, dirty dirty, more than we expect, The shower was dirty, the pictures in the hostel website is from photoshop, or from the starts days, when was everything new... It was really bad... Really...

Pretty cheap and was a fine place to stay. Not particularly exciting or atmospheric, but adequate. The breakfast was pretty good, the shower was not great and they had a fun habit of doing the vacuuming at 8am every day so don't depend on a sleep in! But the wifi was reliable and the place was clean and neat.

Arrived with booking to be told there was no bed, blamed Hostel-world and said they are closed for Easter so could not contact, Conveniently they just happend to have a single room which should have been given to me for the price on my booking but they refused and made me pay £20 instead of £11 and then tried to make me feel like he had done me a favor!! He told me he had tried to ring me to let me know the day before but that is a complete lie as I had no missed calls on phone.

The kitchen-living room is tiny. Too many people for breakfast in a small kitchen and just a small croisant per person. Rooms aren`t well isolete from the street (a small frozen wind was into the room). Cold water in shower and bathroom were ages.

The man at the reception was very accommodating and helpful despite arriving around 2:00am (after a delayed flight and a missed bus). The rooms have lockers, with locks and you don't have to pay for them, which is nice. The bathroom was a tragedy, however. For the whole floor there was just 1 toilet & 1 shower. The shower curtain was moldy & the shower basin filled with water because the drain was very clogged, leading the whole (very small) room to be wet. Not enough table space in kitchen.

The building was a bit shabby but my room seemed newly painted with clean floorboards and fresh (though thin) bed linen and room to move around, the disappointment was the breakfast which was in a tiny kitchen with one small table for the whole hostel, so I had to eat standing up! shame. Would stay again if it the price doesn't go up.

Firstly the Court Hostel has a sign outside describing it as the Court Hotel. It was an ideal location for me as I was working nearby in London during my stay. However the minuses outweigh the pluses; A minuscule excuse for a kitchen Very cramped during what passed for breakfast to the point of people having to eat in the hallway. Totally inadequate fridge/cupboard storage Inadequate pots/pans/cooking utensils No lounge or outside area No washing machine/laundry facilities Good wifi

Positive: Excellent location for transport and shopping Negative: Few showers and toilets, Staff not smiling at all looked unhappy, no enough lookers and some without keys

The staff where very plesant in all my dealing with them. The hostel was clean and the bed comfortable. The Dorm rooms are basic, but perfectly adequate. Well equiped kitchen and exccellent location only a very short walk from Earls Court station, with many shops, supermarkets, pubs and cafes nearby. For the price very good, I would be happy to stay here again.

The hostel is really in a great location. Earls Court is a nice neighborhood and there many places to eat around the hostel. The manager (sorry I forgot his name) and the staff were really very friendly and helpful. They were always kind and willing to help. The manager told me they will rebuild the hostel which will be very nice. The rooms are ok, but they need some changes and maintainance. Heaters were fine in rooms and I would stay there again.

Fantastic staff, they were really helpful!!! Very nice place :)

The best things about this hostel are its staff and its location. Although it's not more expensive than other hostels of the same kind, it's still expensive in the sense that there are only 2 bathrooms for an entire floor, so having a shower is a problem, for instance. Breakfast is O.K. and there's always someone at the office to help you. So I'd say that the staff is their greatest asset and the fact that it's very near Earl Court's Road Tube Station, which takes you everywhere in London.

Pubs and Restaurants nearby, also Underground station. The staff was friendly, breakfast is included. The hostel was rather basic and not very comfy, yet we spent two quiet nights there. For the cheap price it was okay.

Never ever go there, if you don`t want to "enjoy your stay" together with MICE in your room!!! We were 3 people in a triple private room. There were 3 beds, a TV set that didn`t work, and a small wardrobe that was extremely unstable and dangerous for that reason. During 3 days, noone cleaned the room, there is not even towel change (only for cash). All the showers are shared and extremely dirty, I have never seen such a mess anywhere else. Obviously, that trashy place is not for normal people.

The room was really dirty, the atmosphere of the hostel was kind of depressing and the staff was not helpfull at all.

I stayed in a single room, which was very small. It was ok for one night, but I wouldn't recommend staying here in winter. There was a large leaky window, so it was very cold. Location was good though and staff was nice and helpful.
