YHA London Earls Court Reviews

Paying £5 for 24 hours of Internet that only works on one floor is ridiculous. The toilets on the top floor are big enough for a child alone. There are no benches in the showers so all of the clothes you plan to put on get wet. The staff were decent enough. The bed was comfortable and the rooms were decent sized but I did not enjoy my 4 nights in YHA earls court.

The room was ok but the showers weren't made properly, so that - unless you're the first person to shower in the morning - you don't have any dry spot to put your clothes on and the floor is already wet and dirty. Not a nice thing to start your day. The staff and breakfast in the morning made up for it but still...

This hostel was probably the cleanest one i've been to so far. The kitchen is also very good, but ir can get really hot in there when several people are cooking. I wouldn't recommend it to young people that are looking for a place to meet other people and to have a fun night out, because the hostel is really quiet and there are a lot of older people staying there (probably because it is in such a quiet and nice neighbourhood.)

get some normal sized sinks and shower curtains and the bathrooms won't be a horrible mess all the time, also some hangers. some decent cookers would be good and bigger fridges.

I had a great stay here and would stay again. I think its in a fantastic area, on the Piccadilly line, near Kensington High St, can walk to Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park in about 20 minutes. The staff were really helpful. The only bad thing was the bathrooms were a little manky, could do with better ventilation and a spruce up, and better power socket access for top bunks.

The room was nice, the showers are good and clean and the staff were really friendly! Location is graet with the tube station just a 5 min walk away!

A good hostel.great location..but ....It needs to upgrade the kitchen though.

I have stayed at this hostel many times for its transport to Victoria Station...Also because it has a very social kitchen that I really enjoy.

only two bad things: 1) I was on the 6' floor and in the bathroom there was a terrible smells like sewer: so I went in the bathroom in the 5' floor. 2)personal cabinets doors were noisy, every time I opened and locked: maybe some oil?

Perfect for visitors going to earls court shows, rad funny staff, would defiantly crash again.

The location and staff are great. Don't expect a youth hostel though, despite the name. Most people I met were in the hostel because they were looking for work or a flat in London, and went to bed early. It felt more like I was invading other peoples' space without permission than a hostel share. You have to pay a ridiculous amount for internet, so just go to the cafes across the street and order a coffee. The "motion-sensored" shower light kept going off every 10-sec. so I showered in the dark.

There should be a free wifi and using the internet was pretty expensive too.

washstand was too small

The staff is not helpful! just saying busy busy and busy...........

I had this kind of rating maybe because I stayed nicer hostel before I came there. I think price was high because it was in London, but could have been better or same level as my expectation. Also this was the first time using YHA so if most of them are similar most of categories would be rated average. Location was really great, just few minutes away from earls court underground! What I didn't like the most was internet access. I've stayed at least 5 hostels in UK but all had free wifi.

The staff on arrival were very rude, the bathroom facilities were filthy! Extremely loud at night, though, close to the tube which was the whole reason I stayed there. Will stay further away in a nicer place next time.

It really is quite ridiculous for a hostel to charge for any sort of internet usage at this point in time. However, there are cafes nearby with free wifi available. Also, my friend and I booked a 6 person dorm and were placed in a 10 person dorm. While another friend booked the 10 person dorm and was placed in a 6 person. Clearly this hostel is not very organized. It was tolerable, but improvements need to be made.

For the price it was great. Big rooms, clean, quiet and big lockers that will fit a bag. If you are looking to meet people then it is probably not the right place. But if u are just after a cheap bed it is perfect.

We stayed in the 6 bed female dorm. The beds were comfortable and the covers seemed clean. The bathrooms on that floor however were TERRIBLE. They smelt so bad you could smell it from outside the door. They were so small you could barely fit inside and one didn't even have a light. On our first night we were a bit worried but we quickly found bigger, cleaner, and better lit bathrooms on different floors and just used those. Close to tube station and in nice area. Some staff were helpful.

This is by far the cleanest, brightest, loveliest hostel I have stayed in in London. And great value for money. The staff were great and the rooms were clean and bright, with fresh, new bedding. The bathrooms were kept clean. Highly recommend to any travellers looking for a relaxing home away from home.
