A nice quiet base for being in London. I really like this area and would use the hostel again, although at £140 for one night (own room) it is expensive.

Solid

Great for the price. We really appreciated that the bathrooms were individual and not communal dorm-style (each bathroom has a one person shower/sink/toilet) and they were not overcrowded during our stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a quiet and clean night here. The neighborhood is beautiful, upscale, and nice to walk in.

Bedding and toilet are clean, but area under the beds hasn’t well cleaned, there are some trash. Locks in some bathrooms and toilets are not work properly. After locking, they are hard to open, need help to open outside.

Overall, it is a decent hostel. It's just that the bed is a bit too short for me when I'm about to get up. There is no elevator inside. There's a restaurant nearby, and it's near Earl's Court station. Other than that, my overall experience was positive, 4/5.

Très bien localisé, propre, tranquille, sécuritaire et abordable. L'accès à une cuisine et laveuse/sécheuse gratuitement a été très pratique. Nous avions une chambre pour trois adultes, l'espace était assez restreint mais tout de même suffisant. Les espaces communs étaient très propres. C'était parfait!
