“Definetely a Great Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2010

When I read the Reviews I thought the hotel is going to be worst. But when I stepped there everything was pleasant. The Best thing about this place is you have common kitchen, where you can cook yourself and all the cutlery and crockery is provided. The only backdrop of this place is they have shared bathrooms. They also provide healthy breakfast every morning which is included in your booking cost. Very firndly staff and they are ready to help you all the time. I would definetely recommend to my friends.

“WORST HOTEL EVER! DON'T STAY HERE”

This hotel treats customers like dogs. They charge my credit card without my consent after I canceled a reservation 24 hours before. Be aware they are not honest people.

“I would stay there again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2010

We had 3 nights at the Court and found it was not too bad. I am an older traveller now with a vast experience of back packing and sleeping in hostels (and railway waiting rooms, etc,!). I liked the location but stairs were a pain with out heavy suitcases.
This place has kitchen/frig available 24/7 for coffee, meal preparation, etc, Supplied breakfast was warm,,fresh croissants ( not the dried-up stale things I've had at other London hostels)toast. cereal - the usual.
We found both day and night staff to be exceptionally friendly and cooperative. Place was clean, shower/toilets cramped but adequate.. We had a 4 bed mixed dorm and it was clean and quiet with adequate locker space. TV and sink with hot water available in the room
A BIG plus was we were allowed to store our luggage free for the day after checking out plus use the kitchen to have a coffee and a sit down whilst waiting to go to the Heathrow for our evening flight home A big thank you for this.
I would definitely go back.

“Basic, cheap, clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2009

Stayed in room 11 at the Court Hostel with four friends. We just wanted a cheap bed for the night and that is exactly what we got. £15 each. The room was clean and warm despite it being zero degrees outside. The toilet and bathroom were located on the same floor and were also clean. Free Wi Fi which was handy for the four of us who had an iphone each. We didn't try out whatever was on offer for breakfast. Could have done with an extra pillow on the bed but we all got a good nights sleep...Pretty rubbish view from the window (see pic) but I never expected to see the Hanging Gardens of Babylon!
