Overall, I thought this was a perfectly fine place to stay. I don't expect much from hostels--I just want to sleep and get out. The beds were fine. There was a bathroom inside the room and the toilet was disgusting and there was some mold in the bathroom as well. In the basement bathroom the hostel owners keep things people... More

I recommend this hostel to everybody who wants to stay in london. The value for Money was really good and it was clean, not noisy and there is Internet, so what else can you ask for =) More

Great location. Friendly folks. Opportunity to work there to earn your keep. Dorm-style rooms (don't gripe about that, or you ought to stay in a hotel). Fair to crappy breakfast--bread and jam in a dumpy common eating area with a tv. But heckuva deal and the noise is tolerable, especially if you're willing to go to the top floor. More

Bed bugs beware! We went to Astor after a long day to find bed bugs in our...well bed. Also the room was a mess and the reception was short and seemed bothered by us. More

All rooms are fairly clean as I expected including toilets and shower rooms. Only minor problems are people who stayed in there not quite respect to others, we... More

Don't bother with this place - there are plenty of other hostels out there for similar money which are cleaner, better organised and less bizarre. In short, it's in need of a lot of work doing to the building to make it less noisy (internally - not from the street which is quiet) and the staff are in severe need... More

Stayed there with my friend for 5 days in the 8 bed mixed dorm. Many people actually live here while working or searching for work. It's a great opportunity to make friends and to have fun. It's a great place for single travellers as well as most of the people there were singles.The location is great, as it's close to... More

I searched several websites and read hundreds of reviews before selecting this hostel and I'm so glad that I did. It was very clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. Very young crowd that likes to have fun so bring earplugs if you like to get to bed early. Everyone there was very laid-back and easy-going. The rooms were... More
