The Royal Bayswater Hostel Reviews

No Character, good cheap bed close to tube & 24hr nite bus opposite is a plus. WALLET STOLEN from pockets under bed while asleep in morning time or while in Shower. STAFF showed NO consideration whatsoever when approached and reporting it. Would NOT let me use reception phone to call and report to police and then Would not give me my £10 deposit because i was 'late checking out' Even tho I stood in front of them with no money and wallet stolen. Disgraceful by staff & Suspect!!! DO NOT STAY!

Do not stay here. The staff were horrible and most of the people staying there seemed to be on heroin. Very unhygienic

The worst thing was that the staff did'nt do anything about smoking inside. They just sended me into another room and let the young boys keep smoking and drinking in the bedroom. They could just break the rules and nothing happen. The place was dirty and smelled horrible. The staffs did'nt care at all about the costemers!!

I stayed in a private room because I was on a trip with my teenaged child. Room was small but clean, staff was very friendly. Nice hostel, nothing fancy, shower as we know from low budget ho(s)tels but we managed. Everything you can expect for the price you pay here. Would go there again!

Bad breakfast, cold water and no heat in the bedroom! Worst hostel I have ever stayed in!

On the last day I saw a very large cockroach running through the room. There are some cheap hostels out there that look great, but everything here is old. The beds creak, the mattresses are thin and hard, the pillows are tiny and there's mold everywhere. While I was there, a new floor was being put down: the new tiles were put directly on top of the old ones and the old ones were still dirty: they weren't cleaned or removed. That's disgusting. Still, you guys are the cheapest...

Camilla is wonderfull Jean-Marc

I have stayed at much BETTER hostels, nearby, in London that were actually CHEAPER than this one too! The shower was absolutely freezing whilst the room was boiling hot. The staff expected a deposit for absolutely EVERYTHING - which was ridiculous. They even made us make our own beds and pay a deposit for the sheets! Having said all of that, it didn't "ruin" the break - it's just that these things could be so much better!!!

no lockers provided.

We met some lovely people during our stay, and while the staff were very busy, they were also very helpful. The location is perfect! Across the road from Kensington Gardens, and around the corner from a tube station. Will deffo stay there again!

I did book for a week in a female dorm and in the middle of the week in the morning they came to my room and told us we all had to move for 2 nights because they needed to fix the heater and shower,they put us in horrible hotel next door hyde park inn.then i came back and finally people told us they just kicked us out to put a group,they didnt fix the shower where there was no cold water and no pressure at all.we couldnt tale shower for days. and they did not refund at all for the inconvenience.

The location is great. The hostel is situated next to the Hyde Park and it is near two Underground stations. Although the staff was unfriendly. There is only one bathroom for eight women.

The localization was very good, and the price too, but I didn't like of my room. Because one of the bathrooms had sewer smell and the other the sanitary clogged sometimes. I also didn't like about the use of internet, because there neede to pay for all. Normally to use the wifi is free, but there even it we need to pay and to use for limited time. The receptionists were closed, not frendly - leaving the service a bit bad and unconfortable for the costumers. I believe that a elevator .also w

There's no security camera and everybody can go inside. The front door is always open, also the door to go to the rooms. I found the bed uncomfortable. The lift sometimes looks like is not going to work properly. You have to pay for internet, locker. The breakfast is modest. Bathroom is okay.

APART FROM THE PRICE AND THE LOCATION THAT ARE PRETTY GOOD, THE REST IS HORRIBLE. BAD BEDS, BAD ROOMS, BAD ATMOSPHERE, UNPLEASANT PEOPLE WORKING THERE, AWFUL BREAKFAST, NO FREE WI-FI...

Some things did not work all the time ( hair dryer,elevator, payment with a credit card), but generally The Royal Bayswater Hostel is very good.

I'm really sorry that my review is so negative, but this was definitly my worst stay in London. The only good thing about the hostel is the location, the rest of it is unacceptable. In the morning at breakfast I had the feeling I'm eating in a soupkitchen with homeless people. One woman was stealing the whole time food (cornflakes & toast), and there were no knives for everyone. Only 4 knives in the butter to share. Sorry, but that is disgusting!! Furthermore, the room was not very clean!

Is an amazing hostel actually looks like a hotel , is so close to the city centre is very cean , they offert drinks all the day the only think is that is a little bit expensive, but in gneneral is a grat valur for your money

We had a really nice one-night stay at the Royal Bayswater Hostel. The room was clean while the staff was friendly and accommodating. Besides that, the location was fantastic and the price was great for our spontaneous trip, I'd definitely recommend it.

Hostel says what they have extra, but what they have you have to pay extra for allmost everything Kitchen and cleaning staff was nice, but wouldnt tell that about receptionist
