The Royal Bayswater Hostel Reviews

First, the elevator doesn't work dependably. The staff professes ignorance and promises to report it, but 5 days later it is still not working properly. The first night I was put in a tiny room (304) with 4 bunk beds, no room for storage, no chair, no room to move, and the bathroom overhead light cord had been broken off. I was moved to a slightly larger room. Breakfast is white milk, corn flakes, white bread, margarine and bulk jam, instant coffee. Location is excellent. Your choice.

No warm water in my bedroom so no shower possible. Very noisy.

At first, i got completely lost as the hostel entrance looks like an internet cafe so Passed the hostel and walked too far. I stayed in the 8 bed dorm as the hostel only have one room for female only. The rest of the rooms are all mixed with men and women sharing the room. The hostel was basic. I didnt sleep for two nights cos the mattress was a little hard and the pillows were too thin as I sleep with two pillows. My advice is buy your own pillow. It was a good hostel for a 2 day break.

good atmosphere, friendly staff (all), 4 bed room well accurate, hot water 24 hours a day, breakfast good and simple (orange juice, milk, coffee, bread to be toasted with butter and jam, tea, chocolate), excellent location of the hostel near the central line, out of the hostel is the bus stop with bus services 24 hours a day ..I recommend it to everyone, men, women, families, couples and groups .. I was 10 days and I was well and without problems of any type....

Hi all, The hotel is very UNTIDY , SMALL , AGGRESSIVE staff , SMALL TOILET and DIRTY ....................the BREAKFAST is just BREAD with butter. The Beds are very uncomfortable. No proper lighting in the room. I woud never go again in this hostel for sure. The room measures 4metres by 4 metres. only lockers inside and nowhere were to sit.

Good quality/price ratio and excellent location.

The worst ever... To call a taxi they charge 20£, the smell and noises... the worst ever.

A very good hostel for that price. The only thing I will complain about is that is was really cold in the room.

Hostel had a great location, unfortunately no common area to meet others. Beds are okay, bathroom was a bit dirty, toiletseat was broken. Breakfast was okay, but not very extensive.

I was pleasantly surprised! Yes, the private bedroom/bath was very very small... but if you're looking for a place to simply sleep and shower at, it is an ideal place to stay. I would most definitely book there again.

The location is perfect being right next to the tube station. We were very pleasantly surprised by the hostel: the room was clean, beds were comfortable and breakfast very good (we stayed in the twin room, so that was the upgraded breakfast). Some negative facts were that the kettle in our room smelled so bad we didn't dare to use it, even after boiling it a couple of times. Bathroom would be in need of some renovation since it's very old (but did it's job), there was hot water all the time.

Bathroom was filthy and disgusting, the "breakfast" they promise was a slice of toast and some watered down juice. the room was just so cramped nasty. The only positive thing about the place was we were so disgusted by it that we were forced to go out and see every part of london because we didnt want to spend anytime in the hostel itself.

The keys didn't work and the shower was bad.

Room was quiet small, 8 bed layout for this room was a bit awkward and the bathroom door caught on the floor.There is no where to hang up you towel or change of clothes, i understand that its a small space to work with but some hanging hooks on the back of the door would be great along with proper flushing toilets as some people struggled with this. The room needs to be more thoroughly cleaned, in terms of vacuuming the floors / mopping and also lockers need to be upgraded and secure. Wifi free!

The lockers didn´t work. The shower was not very clean.

There was asbestos in the room.

The hostel is well-located and the staff was ready to assist however the hostel didn't seem too clean...

It's been great, I spent just one night but I have to say that was everything cool, staff was friendly, room was quite big and warm in winter time, special price with a very healthy and good breakfast included , I recommend it! Thanks for everything!

We did'nt have enough water for the shower during the evening. In the morning it was awful, the bathroom smelt bad and we had no water in the morning, so no shower!! 50 pounds per night, it is quite expensive without any shower.

The staff was very rude with us we had to sleep 7 persones in a 6beds room also after we spoked with mister ali The window was broked and no one camed to fix it and the wc flush didn't work
