It was alright. 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.
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
The staff here are amazing. They are very, very nice!
In the future when I visit London again, I will always stay at Astor Kensington Hostel as long as available.
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.
