The Royal Bayswater Hostel Reviews

The girl that was in the front desk was always with a mad mood.

The hostel looks nice at the reception and private rooms are clean and comfortable, but dorms are in a pretty bad shape. Beds in our dorm were noisy, shower and bathroom was dirty, only one tiny tiny bin for 8 people in the bathroom, and the window frame was moldy. My friend got a rash during the night. Rooms are pretty humid and they smell a bit odd. The breakfast was good! And the staff was very friendly.

The hostel remain too expensive for the service given. The room was not clean and too tiny for 8 persons. The box in the room couldn't be closed and we had to pay to let our lugages in a special room. We found a roach when we left the room!

The hotness of the girl behind the front desk didn't make up for what a kip this place was.

Free wifi would have been preferable, towel hire is pretty steep, other hostels nearby provide free wifi/towel hire for £2.50.

Hot water went and water supply was cut during showering. Please look into basic amenities provided for 20 bed room

This hostel is very creapy but it is cheap and in the centre of London. You get what you pay for although for a couple of pounds more you can find a descent place.

Little money spent on main thence, eg missing basin plug and non operating fluorescent reported but not attended to. Clean towels everyday. Solid breakfast provided Staff helpful and cooperative.

As usual the standard of hostel in uk is not very high, lack of maintenance. Some filler, paint, put up some hooks and the standard will rise a notch. It would not have to cost a fortune. This time I had the bad luck to get a 20-bed dorm with only one shower/toilet, the other one was closed. Not good! Otherwise I am satisfied

The toilets did not work! That was my main problem with the hostel. Other things: the bathroom was dirty some of the staff was very helpful, others did not seem care atmosphere, what atmosphere?. But hey! what can you expect for 10 pounds a night, next to Hyde park )

the most quality is location, great staff, fast but not very confortable.

The weather was very bad. Would not recommend.

a little noisy, but it is clear.

the bad is noisy...no locker in the room...bathroom is such small. b..eventhough pay me. i don't wanna live again. but the location is really nice

The only good thing I can say about Royal Bayswater is that it has a good Location, just in front of Hyde Park. For the rest, nothing good. The hostel was very noisy, full of children(13-15y old) the breakfast very poor: bread, butter and corn flakes no free wifi(you have to pay for day) towels was not included, you have to pay nearly 5 pounds for it the room was very tiny for 4 people and smelled bad the room has bunk beds that seems to going to break in any moment. I don\'t recommend it.

Have to pay for wifi. A bit dirty (by the window I slept there was trash that remained there all my four nights). The staff are effective but not especially warm. Not so many options regarding breakfast and no outlets by the beds. The beds are not ready. U have to get sheets and fix it yourself and when your time's up u have to bring the sheets back. First time ever I experienced this in a hostel. Very good location though and a hot shower at least. The other one was cold.

Bad service from the staff. Couldnt open windows in the room.

the breakfast was extremely poor

After climbing 3 flights of stairs the lock on the door to the room didn't work. When a maintenance man arrived up after 20 minutes to let us in, we were brought in to a filthy room with rubbish all over the floor and beds in a state. A cleaner was brought in and this was taken care of eventually. We noticed later that there was a leak in the roof which resulted in water all over the floor. Hostel did nothing about this. Later that night when trying to get into the room the lock was broken again

Though it was nice to have a bathroom in the 20 bed room, the facilities were rather nasty, and there was an issue with double booking my bed.
