    Can't fault anything.. they really do their best.

    As a return visitor, I love the location. A leisurely walk through Holland Park from High St Kensington. Price is great for international tourists who lose 50% in currency conversion. Safe & secure with their card passes. Staff are very helpful.

    The bedroom was very basic, but I guess that you can’t have everything for that price in such an amazing location. To shower we had to hold the shower button, which was a bit inconvenient

    The location! Right inside Holland park, next to the opera house and 5 mins walk to Kensington High street. The gardens are lovely and the staff are delightful. We were made to feel very welcome

    The location, for the reasons I mentioned above. The mattress is an air mattress, so it makes a lot of noise at night. When I arrived in the room, there were no lockers available to store my backpack, so the next day I had to buy a padlock at the reception (4 pounds) to use an iron box under the beds to store my things. The bathroom was very dirty when I arrived, but the next morning it was very clean, I believe the staff had just cleaned it. The food vending machine wasn't working for card payments. The entry card we use to access the room cannot touch the phone because it "demagnetizes" and doesn't open the room door.

    Location is both a positive and negative point at the same time. Positive because it's inside Holland Park, so besides being beautiful, the contact with nature is constant. Negative because I checked in during the early hours of the morning and walking on Holland Walk alone at 2 am is not pleasant at all. Just a tip for you if you're using public transportation late at night to get to the hostel. The garden is very beautiful, and the breakfast (costs around 8 pounds if I'm not mistaken) is also very good.

    Its tricky, almost scary, to find to hotel at night. There isnt an obvious sign at the road etc. You have to keep walking until you start to lost your hopes completely. But don't stop! Keep walking, and hopefully, you'll be able to find it—or not... Also, they charge money if you want to leave your luggage in the safe room. If you dont, there isnt an elevator so you have to carry them.

    My room was clean and nice, however, I was scared by other comments about bugs and mice.

    Hostel is not that clean, particularly toilets and shower rooms. As well as maintenance in terms of renovations etc was not taken care of. Many toilets and shower rooms were locked - out of service. It would also be nice to have a separate chilling leaving room to watch TV and read. The reception, TV and cafeteria were all mixed up in one room. Some people.also.put music on their lap tops without a head phone - this should not be permitted.

    Location is perfect right in the middle of Holland Park. Old fashion building - however I was not put in a room there :( would love to try next time. The diversity of people staying there, friendly and relaxed vibe.

    The shower and toilets were small. In the shower you could feel the pipes etc under your feet. You had to also hold the button in to shower.

    The bed had curtains around it and the food provided in the lounge area was satisfactory. The beds had power supply.

    I stayed in a mixed room, and while I understand that it was my choice, I was in a room with only other 5 to 6 men, me being the only woman, which was kind of weird.

    The location was really nice, close to important places and quite close to stations, which made it easy for me to move.

    Location is awkward to get in and out. People who forgot to turn off their telephone at 6 in the morning and keep waking others. Although the hostel is clean found a few mice running around the floor in the evening; they may place traps or else.

    Great staff. I always enjoy staff in this hostel - nice and helpful people all around.
