The ceiling was leaking in the room and the toilet didn’t flush properly. The shower didn’t drain so you had to stand in dirty water while showering. We informed the staff about the toilet issues but weren’t offered any other solution than ”housekeeping will check it tomorrow”. We weren’t offered another room, but suggested we could use the toilets in the other building. We had paid for a private toilet though.

Although the hostel itself isn't the greatest, with awful bathrooms and gross showers, and hot rooms with no reception, it's located in a very pretty area and the establishment itself is pretty too. The price is the main draw of the place, it's unbelievably cheap for being semi close to most of London's main attraction, walk distance from Hyde park and notting hill, and residing inside the very cute Holland park next to the design hotel, it's hidden away in a great spot that makes it very nice.
