Very similar to Katherine F's experience (review on 26/9/11), I got bed bug bites and witnessed a mouse passing by inside my single room just within 2 nights! (For those who had good experience, please don't say that we are wrong - I could only say that you were lucky cuz not all rooms would be full of bed bugs... More

I am writing this for the sake of fellow travellers. I have travelled all around the world and stayed in some pretty poor places and even lived in the Thai jungle for a week but nothing even comes close to this hostel. I'm never one to complain but I just had to write this as I don't want anyone to... More

We travel a great deal and have not, until now, found a hostel we truly like in London. This is a relatively small hostel, but with superb service and a lovely setting. Although not inexpensive, the rate included breakfast and tea on the first day. The location is excellent, the common areas really lovely, and the room, although not large,... More

I don't want to spend too much time writing about this hostel as its not worth the time and effort. All I can say is - STAY AWAY. The rooms are pure filth. Not only are the rooms dirty and disgusting (they look like they are never cleaned), but to make things worse, there are plenty of cockroaches, bedbugs, and... More

In the morning after I stayed at the hostel, I had a few bites on me. I wasn't really sure what is was. Two nights after, I found really serious bites every where around my legs, arms, body... It was very itchy and red. It ruined the rest of the week because of the itchy and pain. I reported it... More

The Court is a youth hostel and is kind of old and rusty. BUT the staff is fantastic and made my 4 nights there fantastic. They are very friendly, helpful and respectful. And I had an incredible time with the roommate i met when i arrived. So if you are cash poor, i would recommend this youth hostel! More

When I read the Reviews I thought the hotel is going to be worst. But when I stepped there everything was pleasant. The Best thing about this place is you have common kitchen, where you can cook yourself and all the cutlery and crockery is provided. The only backdrop of this place is they have shared bathrooms. They also provide... More
