    Twice in 11 nights i had to wait for people of other floors to finish in the showers on my floor as people had left the security/fire door jammed open. Apart from that it was a good stay

    The hostel was very nice with a really friendly staff. Rooms were nice and clean and the beds were ok. The only thing that could use improvement is the bathroom in the dorm room. That's really small and feels "wobbly".

    The best thing about this hostel is perhaps the location as it’s close to some of the best museums the city has to offer and conveniently located between 2 stations of different lines. I have to say this hostel does not offer any social events or gatherings so if you’re looking to be alone and a quiet night sleep this is the place.

    Would have been a fine hostel to stay at but for some reason this hostel attracts the worst roommates I’ve ever experienced. Other than that the location is close to Kensington Gardens, the bathrooms were reasonably clean, and the staff were lovely.

    Really expensive for what you get. The rooms are nice and the bathrooms are clean. But they have school groups here and they were so loud. Older people stay here too and they snore so much. Worst night sleep ever. Do not get the breakfast, a real waste of money. Would be nice if there was a place to make your own tea and coffee.

    Great location and close to the tube. But the toilets are AWFUL. They are so so small and I couldn’t even use the sanitary bin properly because the toilet seat was covering it. Bathrooms and showers are unisex. The draws don’t lock. You think that they do but they can be unlocked easily even with a lock on. No guest kitchen. Breakfast is good but have to pay. They also charge the deposit that hostel world takes. Would recommend putting in privacy curtains. I would not stay here again.
