cheap, but you'll pay with your soul

honestly the worst hostel i stayed in europe. i wanted to go home by day two. the staff has one guy who acts like he’s regina george on mean girls. i interacted with him twice, then started avoiding him like the plague. the two brown girls and the brown guy who works in the mornings are the best. the dorm is terribly small and uncomfortable. the beds are weak and squeak. if you are at the bottom bed (my case), everytime someone above you moves it will feel like an earthquake. the toilet aren’t separated like in most hostels, so if one of your roommates decides to take a one hour long shower, you’ll have to wait one hour to pee. apparently kids are allowed in the hostel, and i have nothing against it but it wasn’t nice to be awakened by screaming children and parents who could not control them and make them respect other people’s sleep. the only redeeming qualities of this place are the great internet connection, the shared kitchen and the proximity to metro stations.

Gute Übernachtungsoption

Doppelzimmer zur Einzelnutzung. Kleiner Abzug für das bad, das einem Kreuzfahrtschiffbad ähnelte. Lage super - Hyde Park quasi vor der Tür und gute Anbindung an Öffis. Frühstück okay, nichts besonderes, vielleicht etwas wenig Auswahl. Für Londoner Verhältnisse eine gute und preislich faire Übernachtungsmöglichkeit.

Loistavavien kulkuyhteyksien lähellä

Siisti huone, hyvällä paikalla. Miinusta siitä, että vedenpaine oli huono mutta se lienee kaikkialla englannissa sama juttu hienommissakin hotelleissa. Hotellin ympäristö myös hyvä: kolme kauppaa, pubi ja ravintoloita.

Great stay

Adorei a estadia. O pequeno almoço estava incluso e não sabia. Foi uma agradável surpresa. O atendimento do pessoal sempre impecável. Tem um grande favor positivo, o facto de deixaram guardar as malas antes e depois do check in / check out. Fica a 5 minutos de uma estação de metro e 1 minuto de uma paragem de autocarros. Super central. Quem quer visitar a cidade e fazer quase tudo a pé, super recomendo a estadia. A internet super funcionou bem, durante toda a minha estadia. O pequeno almoço tem pouca variadade, mas o pouco que tem e bom. Como forma de melhorar, apenas refiro que deviam de ter cofres nos quartos privados.

This place is amazing! Good location, good price and good customer service. I got a private twin room for one month. For the check-in I was assisted by Lionel and Tiffany, who were extremely nice and professional! They are above and beyond. The hostel offers free Wi-Fi, daily breakfast, room service every day, a communal refrigerator and laundry facilities. It is a clean and a well-maintained hostel. I will definitely stay here every time I visit London. There is simply nothing negative to say about it! Hyde Park, tube/bus stations, grocery stores and good restaurants are nearby. Safe neighbourhood!

Finely Georgian House.

Comfortable hallway on the elevation access. Just to share our fully equipped kitchenette next to the dining hall. Too small bed due to over 6 beds shared room.
