Always enjoy my regular short stays. Friendly staff and good facilities, although fridge space a bit tight.

Clean and tidy, comfortable beds. One thing I didnt like is the fact that everything costs extra... extra for breakfast, extra for internet/wifi. I think at least wifi should be free, as should coffee. No lift!! Lots of stairs! Toilet was so tiny that i couldnt get in and then close the door without just about ripping my skin off. And the shower was pretty small too, but it was ok. Annoying having the only basin in the room... but overall, for the price and location in London, its good.

I wasn't expecting for a hostel without any fun activities... Too many old people occupying the rooms, and using the hostel as a home... Bathrooms really little, and i had suspicious that in case of fire on the building, a lot of people would die burned, for the narrow emergency exits and staires... The breakfast is not included. The positive quality sãs the intallations cleanliness... Staff people very helpfull

The showers and toilets are tiny! And could definitely be a little cleaner... Staff was nice, but they didn't have a map of London - really?!? Also, wifi should be free in a hostel. Otherwise quite OK. Nice that the bed is made for you.

Beds are so small I couldn't fit in straight. Rotting stuff in one of the showers. Other than that it's pretty good, enough space around the beds.

Earls Court is an interesting area. The London bicycles were great and so cheap.

Great place to stay with friendly staff and clean rooms with great blankets and pillows. Location was good and very safe with many useful stores closely as well as the underground. Only downside was the lack of a hostel vibe, the inconsistent bathroom sizes (could barely fit in the upstairs toilets), and the keys always stopped working!

This was my second time in this Hostel and I've witnessed some good changes. Still, the showers need desperate improvement as well as the toilets. I stayed there with a friend in a private room and there was too much noise around us during the night. Next time in London I might just stay there again.

I enjoyed my 3 nights at the hostel. Met some great people. The showers could have been cleaned more often and toilet roll replenished, they really need a bit of a facelift. everything else is great. the all you can eat continental breakfast kept me going the entire day. Learn to sleep with earplugs in there's always one turbo mega snorer that sounds like a jet engine taking off. All in all I'd recommend it.

Friendly staff and good range of food options (milkshakes and smoothies) but the place could be a bit cleaner.

Security. We needed our card to enter the bedroom premises but ahe door to the backyard was constantly left open despite my commenting to a person at the desk.Staff. Helpful but bad experience; got us a cab to Kensington less than 10 minutes and cost us 14 pounds - we did not know the distance. This was a rip off. Maybe the staffer didn't know either. Bad impression nevertheless.

Whenever we go to London we stay here the location is good and the Staff is very friendly and helpful. We always manage somehow to get the same room which is 304; the room is spacious, warm, and clean, with a lovely view across the rooftops of London. We are in our fifties and we would like to recommend a stay at Earls Court YHA for anyone old or young.

I'd like to thank all the staff for all their help and kindness. I think continental could be improved by including some ham and other varieties of cheese. As this is quite a small youth hostel i doesn't look as impersonal as other I have already stayed in London. The lounge is very cosy.

This hostel is a clean and popular hostel located in a great setting - close to the tube and night buses which make accessing all the sites easy, but far enough away not to suffer from the noise. Internet wifi signal wasnt amazing, but that is my only criticism in a largely enjoyable stay.
