Great place to stay. They could improve breakfast by adding eggs and yoghurt.

Overall very solid hostel & great location. Would’ve been nice if they didn’t charge me for my first night I wasn’t there due to my flight being canceled, but maybe that’s wishful thinking.

O atendimento foi ótimo com a Liz! Mas senti falta de mais aquecimento no quarto. Diversas vezes sentia frio enquanto dormia. Aos domingos fecham cedo a recepção, e se precisar de algo, não estão mais por lá. Não reclamo das escadas pois sei que é algo comum de UK, mas, o chão precisa de reparos,faz muitos rangidos.

Ostello veramente comodo per girare per Londra con personale molto gentile e disponibile! Pulizia da migliorare…la nostra camera da 4 non era stata pulita neanche un minimo prima che noi arrivassimo.

Heel fijn relaxt hostel om in te verblijven. Ligt dicht bij een centraal metrostation en een busstation. De kamers zijn wat gedateerd, maar wel schoon. De badkamers waren netjes. Het ontbijt was niet heel uitgebreid, maar wel oké en wel heel fijn dat het erbij zat. De mensen die in het hostel verbleven en het personeel was allemaal vriendelijk.

They do not need evaluation, the hostel is always full up. I've stayed in many hostels in London, and it was the best. They are the best in location: you've have to take only one line to the airport, they are next Picadilly, Westminster, Shakespeare theater... The breakfast is completely amazing, the staff is lovely and about the security, I think is their strongest.

Very nice for a short stay to explore the city, short walk to the subway, friendly staff and overall atmosphere!:) the private room was a nice alternative to a regular hotel and the kitchen very well equipped

I stay at this hostel often when I am in London, it is perfect. The staff are friendly, the hostel is clean, and it is quiet. I recommend this hostel. It is close to all the cultural highlights of London and all of the underground services and buses. The beds are spacious and comfortable.

I was in the 4 bed female dorm. This was very comfortable with the ensuite. Staff were friendly and kitchen was very spacious and kept clean. This hostel is a little out of city centre so good for those looking for a quieter stay.

Nice hostel in west London. Very close to Earl’s Court station. Privacy curtains and air con in the room would be a bonus - was too warm even for winter and with the window open.

Generally ok, but when I arrived the heat was broken and they made several other mistakes. Overall very nice staff though.

Amazing place to stay in London as a budget traveler. The Earl's Court station is less than a 5 minute walk away to where you can take the metro to anywhere in London. The area is safe, welcoming, and very quaint. Staff is amazing and Josh is a great manager who will make you feel welcome. Very easy to make friends. Highly recommend!

My go-to place whenever I’m in London, it is always comfortable, clean and affordable, and you can get into the Soho/Westminster/City within 30 minutes.
