Very friendly, helpful staff. Hostel quite dated, needs decorating. Showers plentiful, and clean, however my room was right next to the shower, so when someone decided to have one at 11:30pm, it was like being next to a waterfall... Nice garden area. Lounge very quiet, and felt like I was disturbing others, felt unable to strike up conversation, as all... More

First off...this hostel has lots of "single" rooms, with bunks, so you need not snore among 12 bunkmates...sinks and lockers in all rooms. The kitchen is damned good despite small fridges..there are several markets nearby including a good M&S Simply Food. Nice lounge with TV and internet....very low key...all ages...the staff is cheery and helpful.. it's clean...great espresso machine coffees..what's... More

Stayed in the hostel for two nights during the week. The guy on reception was not particularly friendly or helpful, it didn't really seem like he wanted to be there. And asking questions felt like it was an inconvenience. On the otherhand the lady who signed us out was pleasant and seemed friendly. The kitchen was tidy, but very small.... More

Location: this is the major winning card of this property. It is located less than 5 minutes walk from Earls Court station and allows access to other popular fast food joints (McDonalds, Subway, KFC) and the Blackbird, a nice British pub serving good ale. We stayed here one night in order to catch a flight out of London, I wouldn't... More

I stayed for one day in a 6 bedroom dorm which cost me £10 with a YHA membership. For that price I thought it was a good deal, particularly as I only needed somewhere to sleep for a night before heading to Heathrow Airport early the next morning. Location: Earls Court is a brilliant location - I always stay in... More

We've stayed in this hostel for 5 days and it was a nightmare. The rooms are tiny with double decker beds. The toilets and showers are all shared; the locks on our floor for both toilets and showers were broken, so you had to hold on with a foot so no one enters. The toilets were dirty. The hall rooms...

I stayed here for one night with another couple of friends, we managed to book a triple room which means more privacy and chats til early morning. I enjoyed the fact that the location is very good, less than 5-minute walk to Earl's Court underground station which is on picadilly line and district/central line, so if you're sightseeing in London...

I stayed at the Earl's Court Hostel in January 2012 in a six-woman room for $35/night. First of all, the location is GREAT. It is very close to the Earl's Court and Gloucester Road tube stations so easy to get around. It is on the Piccadilly Line so a direct connection from Heathrow. The neighborhood is quiet and clean.
