Review:
This hostel is purely and simply the best hostel u can find!!! We
met some funny ppl (so crazy sometimes!) but so nice and friendly that we didnt
go anywhere during our holidays in London! Staff is also very nice and helpful.
Ok, the rooms aren't very nice but u finally forget it. All in this hostel make
u feel good. If u want to have some fun and meet some crazy ppl, go at night in
the ITA bar. The drinks r very cheap (2£ ??!!!) If u dunno wat to do, go in the
TV room ^^ !! Our best holidays and thx to astor's Hyde Park hostel and ppl
inside!
WE'LL BE BACK!!!

Review:
Stayed in 8 or 9 places on my trip through England and France and
this was definitely the best one. We met the most people here and this one was
the most fun by far. I was also impressed with the staff. Compared to most
other hostels I stayed in they were the most on the ball. They knew who was
staying in what room and kept a close eye on things.
I'm not sure why everyone is knocking the cleanliness of the place. Sure its
not like home where your mom cleaned up after you all the time, but every
single day I saw people cleaning the bathrooms and hallways. No its not 4 star
hotel clean, but i'd imagine its impossible to keep it spotless when you have
dozens of young adults in dorm style rooms every night. They definitely trashed
food that was unlabelled (w/out name and date) in the kitchen each day too.
Annoying to have your food tossed, but it makes sense that they can't just
leave food that people forgot to spoil.
As for the internet connection, it was the second cheapest internet place I
found on my trip, but the cheapest was only a block down the road. They had
four computers and the only annoying thing was the crappy keyboards, but
otherwise not bad.
The one real complaint I have is that it seemed like a game of musical chairs
the way they made people switch rooms every night. I swear they could have left
everyone in the rooms they were originally assigned and it would have been
fine.
Either way, if I go back to London soon, I will stay here again. Some people I
met had stayed there for weeks on end, so it couldn't be too bad.

Review:
I stayed at this hostel last may, and overall I enjoyed it, but
there were a few problems. I booked over the phone, but when I got there the
room and price I requested were unavailable. I ended up paying more and not
getting quite what I asked for. Also, while I was there someone stole my pasta
which was in the kitchen pantry clearly labeled. The rooms were reasonably
clean. The washrooms were really basic- toilets in one room, locker room-type
showers in another. The location was great and the people there were nice.

Review:
This is an OK place to stay. I loved the location, the staff can be
hit and miss (like anywhere). The bar downstairs is SO noisy! And I'm not
usually too fussy about that, I mean it is a hostel, but it was deafening until
2am. So, it's not terrible, but I'd look elsewhere first.

Review:
Well, this hostel was fun to party in and the staff was
wonderful. But besides that this place was a pain in the
ass and nasty. They made us switch beds about 6 times in
4 nights. Which was a real pain but the room we were in
was very nice with a terrace. In some of the rooms there
was mice. Also in the common room you might catch sight
of one or two. Lots of good travellers come here but if
you can find a better place I would. The only good of
this place is the location to the Queensway tube stop. I
would recommend it but make sure you get a 2nd floor
room. |
