We were looking for a place to stay in London, not too far away from the center and not too expensive either. The classical situation. For these cases the Earl's Court area normally is a good place to look. I have been to other places in this area and even the flithiest was not as dirty as this one. Our... More

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
