Summary of traveller reviews

Astor Victoria in London is praised for its excellent location, close to transport links and attractions. Guests frequently highlight the friendly and helpful staff, with many mentioning specific individuals. While generally clean, some recent reviews note issues with bathroom cleanliness and a lack of ventilation, leading to warm rooms. It's a good option for solo travellers and those seeking convenience.

I enjoyed my stay at Astor Victoria, the location is super central. With the 24 hour buses and the tube stations, in a walking distance. The hostel has an old building charm, it's quiet when needed and the kitchen is a great place when I met a lot of other travellers. I will rate this hostel higher than the others in the area and is located in a safe and pleasant locality. The best part of the location is how close it is to the river Thames, offering a great place for walks.

I had a great stay at Aston Victoria Hotel. The property is clean, well maintained, and feels safe and welcoming. Check-in was quick and smooth, and the reception staff were friendly and helpful. My room was clean and tidy, and the lockers provided were good enough to safely store luggage. The bathrooms were also kept clean and well looked after. I liked that there is CCTV around the property, which adds an extra sense of security. The downstairs kitchen and common area is spacious and well equipped with us

I've stayed her a few times and It's a short walk from the Victoria Coach station and railway station. It's quite central compared to the other hostels that I've been to in London. Love that the staff make friends with you and invite you to their local pubs and park. This chain of hostels are way better than your One fams and safe stays or even YHAs. The crew here and very sociable, coming back to chill with them at their local pub, the Pride of Pimlico. 🫶🏾

Hostelworld says

Note: 18-39 yrs old only. Astor Victoria won 1st Best Small hostel chain and 1st in the Lifetime achievement awards at the 2015 Hoscars! Astor Victoria are consistently praised for their "laid-back and polite" staff as well as their location. Our guests have said this hostel offers "really good value for money" especially being so close to the main transport hubs". We like that this hostel is only 10 minutes walk from Victoria train and bus station, with travellers telling us they appreciate the easy walk to Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. Hostelworld visitors tell us they would stay here again because this is an "ideal place to meet new friends and have a good time".
