“Best London Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

We stayed twice so far in this hotel. Must say that we had bad experience in The Windmill in Acton and after one night we find this one.
Everyone very helpful, nice receptionists we got what we asked for! The price is good for this great location!
Top floor far right side of corridor from lift is really quiet. Which is great if you stay for a few days.
Shops and attractions can be reached easy.
We always walk cross park to reach the right bottom corner, where we shop at TKmaxx, Zara etc...
If We go to London we will stay here instead any other, because it is safe, dont want to have any more horrible night!
hope this helps!
Great travel to everyone!

Room Tip: Quiet rooms on top floor, far right from lift.

“more like a hotel than a hostel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2012

my boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights in September and were a bit apprehensive about staying in a hostel. However, it turned out to be really great, our room (double suite) was nice and comfortable, with a tv, fridge, kettle, desk and nice decent sized bathroom. It was clean and we had a large window to open which looked out over the rooftops on the other side of the street. Staff were friendly and accomodating, many of them appeared to be travellers from other countries as well. There's internet access in the lobby (you have to pay for) and free wifi in the rooms, however our wifi connection didn't work. Breakfast (included in the room price) is not bad to get you started for the day- toast, cereal, ham, cheese and tea/coffee. Reception is open 24 hours. Overall, given london is such an expensive place to stay in, I would definatley recommend this place (in a private room, can't comment on the bunk bed rooms) it's only a 5-10 minute bus ride to Oxford street or a 2 minute walk to a tube station. The kabab/curry place across the road is delicious and the people there are super friendly.

Room Tip: suites upstairs facing the main road allow you to open the huge window and let in some fresh air whi...

“Good for friends in the same room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

This was a nice and cheap hostel, you get a lot for a little money. The room we lived in had it`s own bathroom, so that was good as well! The only bad thing, the beds are a bit small if you are a tall person, but for a few nights thats just fine.

“Great for a hostel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

We had a double private room with ensuite, & it was great. Clean, had linen supplied, tv, close to tube & buses, great location. There was a lift too, albeit slow, but that helped with bags given we were on 3rd floor!
Staff were helpful when asked, but generally disinterested & there wasn't much of a vibe to the place, but we just needed it too sleep so served its purpose!
Would stay again for a cheaper option than a hotel in London.

Room Tip: Get a private room!

“Not the best, even for a hostel.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 5, 2012 via mobile

This was the first hostel I have ever stayed at, and I thought it was ok, until I stayed in others that were far superior! The staff seem pretty disinterested, and ten pounds for a plastic room key seems pretty rough. I was in a four bed dorm, which was very poorly ventilated, the bathroom had no ventilation at all so the room was always hot and stuffy. It wasn't the cleanest either. However, the location is fantastic, it's in a great neighbourhood and close to three tube stations. I would book again as a last resort.
