It was really good, I don't really have anything bad to say, only good things. It was well located, the staff was nice, the room was awesome and the value was fair enough...
I do recommend a lot
9 people in the same room and a short bed and one bathroom for everyone is not enough to stand in it without cleaning or changing for 3 days

Some staff so rude specially cleaner staff and i was stayed 6 day and room number 407 and room have 3 double bed and some people drink alcohol in the room and i thinks same guy bring the girl and make love that was horrible night and next day i was make complain in reception but they didnt care about that so think about before you book the hostel
honestly the worst hostel i stayed in europe. i wanted to go home by day two. the staff has one guy who acts like he’s regina george on mean girls. i interacted with him twice, then started avoiding him like the plague. the two brown girls and the brown guy who works in the mornings are the best.
the dorm is terribly small and uncomfortable. the beds are weak and squeak. if you are at the bottom bed (my case), everytime someone above you moves it will feel like an earthquake. the toilet aren’t separated like in most hostels, so if one of your roommates decides to take a one hour long shower, you’ll have to wait one hour to pee.
apparently kids are allowed in the hostel, and i have nothing against it but it wasn’t nice to be awakened by screaming children and parents who could not control them and make them respect other people’s sleep.
the only redeeming qualities of this place are the great internet connection, the shared kitchen and the proximity to metro stations.
Nice room and staff. Clean room and thoughtful amenities. Only downside is the rather warm room. The Hostel addresses this and since it is an old building nothing much can be done. They do include fans in the rooms.
It was about a 7–8 minute walk from Queensway tube station. The room was a bit small, but it was cleaned every day. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Atendeu todas as nossas necessidades, hotel próximo ao parque e com acesso fácil a transporte público, limpo e organizado.
Atenção dos funcionários da recepção, check in e check out sem complicações.
Rua um pouco movimentada, porém não tivemos problemas na hora de descansar.
Doppelzimmer zur Einzelnutzung. Kleiner Abzug für das bad, das einem Kreuzfahrtschiffbad ähnelte. Lage super - Hyde Park quasi vor der Tür und gute Anbindung an Öffis. Frühstück okay, nichts besonderes, vielleicht etwas wenig Auswahl. Für Londoner Verhältnisse eine gute und preislich faire Übernachtungsmöglichkeit.

Das Hostel lag sehr gut am Kensington Park und der Hydepark war nur ein paar Meter weg. Alles sehr gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Auch verschiedene Undergrond-Linien waren schnell zu erreichen. Personal war sehr nett und die Rezeption war 24/7 besetzt.
Siisti huone, hyvällä paikalla. Miinusta siitä, että vedenpaine oli huono mutta se lienee kaikkialla englannissa sama juttu hienommissakin hotelleissa. Hotellin ympäristö myös hyvä: kolme kauppaa, pubi ja ravintoloita.
