Расположение отличное, постель чистая, персонал дружелюбный. Мой возраст выше установленной в хостеле границы, я сослепу забронировала без отмены, и когда обнаружила возрастное ограничение, жутко переживала. Но меня заселили, и все прошло отлично. Очень благодарна за это...

Great location, lovely team. Only issue I had during last stay (as a retired person) was room was v crowded. Also 2 got up at 2 am for Heathrow, not their fault, other 3 were noisy in room. But bed clean, lounge area with books restful.

Loved my stay here! I’ve stayed at other Astors before, but the manager was extra welcoming and really made my trip with lots of helpful tips. They had a cute event on and met some nice people. Great location. Would recommend.

Would 100% recommend! It is the best location for London, you are so close to the city centre so you can get there easily but not overwhelming! The staff were super lovely and I felt super comfortable to ask them for help and advice!

One of the best hostels I've stayed in. The staff are amazing, the facilities are great, it was super clean, the location is awesome. If you're looking for a hostel in London, you've found the place. Had such a fun time here and will definitely be back.

Had no problem booking this room last minute. Staff was super nice!! Rooms pretty much as expected, but I will say that the outlet connected to the lamp at my bed didn't work, so I couldn't charge my phone. Also, our bathroom had no window nor fan, and our drain did not work very well so water started flooding into entire bathroom during my shower (basically--expect everything to get wet). Was able to leave my luggage in locked storage after checkout until my flight later that day.

Astor Kensington was such a dream. I never knew how much the staff could enhance the experience until staying here. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE was so genuine, kind, and with great energy. It's because of them that there's a ripple effect which makes it easier to say hi to other hostel guests/ make more friends. The rooms are pretty modern, the lounge is a lovely space to watch shows and movies with others, and the kitchen is very well stocked. I'm so grateful to have found such a warm hostel

Had an overall great stay. Everything was clean (at least in the female only room) and the staff was really friendly. It's also easy to meet new people for example through their events and in the cozy room with sofas and a TV. The only thing that could be improved was that there is not much space in the bathroom and near the bed to leave your stuff, but it still worked out though. I would definitely recommend this hostel.

DISGUSTING. Expect rooms to NOT be cleaned, EVER. Upon arrival, I saw this in the room sink drawer, clearly It has never been cleaned before, and after three days there I again checked and It stayed the same. A dirty covd mask, a Brown smudge, Fake eyelashes. The trash in the room had never been taken out, the kitchen was so filthy and the shared bathrooms smelled like sewage. On top of all, the charger on my bed did not work (of course, what else can you expect?). I took pictures for proof

You feel the warmth from the staff at Astor Kensington as soon as you step through the door , highly recommend anyone wanting a homely and beautiful vibe all round , Katie in particular went above and beyond to make sure my stay was easy and really made me feel at home so if you’re ever at Astor Kensington look out for Katie because you would be missing out not meeting her , 10 out of 10

I have stayed at Astor Kensington for 5 days now and can I say; I've never met a hostel that makes me feel so included, lively and relaxed. Their team feels like a tight-knit family that loves each other and works together to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The location works well as its just a short walk from the main street and underground line. Kensington Park is at the end of the street which I've loved for walks in the sun. The all female room is well laid out with an ensuite.

Nice hostel. Not the nicest stuff I have seen. Not clean in toilets. Small toilets. Nice kitchen.
