I stayed there because arrived very late the first night and knew I'd spend all day exploring London the next day & walking distance to Paddington Station to take the Heathrow Express. It's a very basic hostel. It's not dirty but not the cleanest. It can use some updating. ##### Jaime Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rawle Nov 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the kitchen and dining room.

Couldn’t beat the price for a private room with private bath. The bathroom was very tight, however still nice to have our own dedicated bathroom. We were on the 5th floor and it felt like a hike up the stairs as it seemed to be a floor and a half of stairs per flight, but for the price and location I’d stay again as it met our needs perfectly. ##### Sarah Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tony Jul 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff are friendly and nice , very helpful .

The people were very nice. The bed was clean and very comfortable surprisingly. It’s a shame the sockets weren’t working in my room. They had little wall mounted ones to charge phones with a usb but I wanted to turn on the fan. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7D9BAD127202EC8A6365C45EE969D392CB77ABDC1729179851978.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7D9BAD127202EC8A6365C45EE969D392CB77ABDC1729253230438.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Caitlin Aug 19, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were kind and helpful. Rooms were a bit tired and whilst I appreciate sheets being provided, pillows and duvet were quite 'musty'. Bathrooms pretty grotty. But overall a fair price for a nice neighbourhood. ##### Caitlin Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Yuliia Jun 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities I have rented a private room with my friend, and the price and location were very good, close to verious shops and the Paddington station. Our room was on the 5th floor and there wasn't an elevator available, which wasn't a dealbreaker for me, but something to bear in mind if you have mobility issues. Facilities in the room were new, shower pressure and temperature were good, but there was no extractor fan in the bathroom, so the bathroom and the room would get very steamy. I have been unlucky and my stay happened during the heatwave in London, which made being in the room practically unbearable. It would get extremely hot, and while the hostel provided a fan, it did little to nothing. Would not recommend staying here in the summer, but I'm sure in spring/autumn it will be fine. ##### Yuliia Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Minori Dec 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities There is no curtain to protect my privacy ##### Minori Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### kislay Nov 6, 2023 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not for couple Staff was amazing, But the beds are not comfortable taps are keep making the sounds windows are hard to make them lock, couple couldn't able able to sleep on bed ##### kislay Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Dec 31, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pessimo soggiorno Soggiorno di 3 notti e 4 giorni. Terribile. Gente strana in tutto l'ostello (mandavano occhiate ogni qualvolta vedevano me e le mie amiche), spazzatura davanti alla porta del palazzo, niente ascensore ( e io avevo la stanza al quinto piano). Non mi sono sentita affatto al sicuro per tutto il soggiorno. Niente phon nella stanza, mi sono dovuta asciugare i capelli all'entrata dell'ostello, con il phon che mi ha dato la ragazza alla reception (con la porta aperta ed era inizio dicembre.. quindi immaginate il freddo ed io ero con i capelli bagnati). La ragazza voleva che le dessi 5£ in contanti (che mi avrebbe poi restituito), che io non avevo poichè Londra non è molto cash friendly (per cui avevo solo la mia carta). Nonostante le avessi detto che avrei potuto proprio pagare quei soldi con la carta, lei non ha accettato. Le scale sono molto piccole e con le valigie fino al quinto piano è stato un incubo. Le stanze poi strettissime e piccolissime. Per 130£ a testa per 3 notti non ne vale assolutamente la pena. Opinione mia personale, se siete in vacanza per qualche giorno cercate altro. Questo soggiorno vi rovinerebbe solo la vacanza. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camille Aug 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Super pour vivre Londres a fond Séjour super, j’étais seule dans un dortoir mixte de 9 personnes aucun problème de sécurité ou autre.
