“Wouldn't go back”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

it was rated as best hostel in 2008.. yes 2008... in 2012 it is bad! I stayed in a 4mix dorm and suffered from bed bugs. The bed sheets were smelly too... atleast the toilet and shower room was clean!! It is cheap though... location wise, its acceptable as its along the central line (red line) BUT in zone 2.. so its quite out of city centre....

“Average Hostel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed in a mixed dorms with four beds. There was a sink in the room and each beds had it's own under-bed storage, which was good, considering the rooms are EXTREMELY small and any clutter on the floor would make it impossible to get around.

This hostel is located a little outside of the center but is still very accessible (Via underground, above-ground trains and night buses.) Getting to the main tourist attractions will take you less than 20 minutes via public transportation. The hostel has a restaurant, a bar and a chill-out room that includes a ping pong table and some couches. The free breakfast is simple (toasts, fruits, etc) but filling. The free wireless internet was fast and available everywhere. The shared bathrooms are very old, outdated and very stinky at times but they were never "dirty".

The staff was helpful and the price was right (after looking around for a while, you will notice that the hostels/hostels in London are quite expensive). I can't say anything wrong about this hostel but also can't say that anything stood out. It somewhat lacked of charm.

I would still recommend this hostel for travellers on a budget who don’t plan to spend a lot of time indoors.

“We slept on the floor!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

Hostel was friendly enough although we had to queue for a while to check in. The only thing great about this hostel was the location as it's right opposite the underground and next to a mall with shops and a cinema.

The rooms are tiny though and there was a dark stain on the bed so me and my partner slept on the floor. Only two toilets upstairs where we were and one was incredibly blocked so I had to use the mens.

Breakfast was basic. I probably wouldn't stay again - it needs rennovating badly!!

“Bed bugs anyone?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

person found this review helpful

Let me start by saying the location is great. On the central line (shepherd's Bush station) from the station you literally just have to cross the street to get to the Hotel. Westfield is right across the street and It is my favourite shopping centre in London!

The entrance to hotel is through the bar "Belushi's" this is quite an inconvenient specially when you bringing suitcases and the bar is full of heavy drinkers. The people serving the drinks are the same people that will check you in, so take a number and wait until someone happens to see you.

The girls at the bar are quite nice and they do as much as they can to help you. There is not much I can say about the bar, since I was there briefly.

I booked a double ensuite for one night, my room number was 19 so it's was on 2nd floor or 3rd for Americans. The room was spacious quite enough for me and my friend. We checked in early afternoon and came back around 9pm.

If you are a light sleeper, you will find the bar on the ground a nightmare. The bar becomes very noisy at night and if you are on 1st floor you will have a hard time dealing with the noise. if you are on the 2nd floor you will still hear some noise, but not as bad.

In room 19 the window doesn't shut properly, so we were are forced to leave it ajar. Consequently wind comes through the window making the room really cold. There is a working radiator, but that is not enough to compensate the cold wind. There was also a portable radiator (which I thought it was odd when I came in to the room for the first time) but after discovering the broken window, it all made sense to me. The portable radiator is a fire hazard (SERIOUSLY) the damn thing doesn't work properly, it makes a horrendous noise and sparks every time you plug it in to the power point. We tried to deal with the situation by moving the bed away from the window, just to find underneath the bed some rubbish left from previous guest.

In addition to the rubbish, my friend made me aware that the toilet was dirty and I mean DIRTY, there were bit of faeces left on the toilet brim, SO that defeated the purpose of having a bathroom in the room 'cause I didn't use it at all! Let me explain the shower situation to get water pressure you have to push a button and you have to keep doing this while you shower. So one hand scrubbing and one hand pushing the button. The shower curtain had mildew all over. The hostel/hotel provides you with a towel (a corona beer towel) and if you want to get another one you must pay £10 for it. My advice to you, use your own towel. The sink which is in the room instead of the bathroom was okay.

Bed and duvet was comfortable, however, the next morning I woke up with a rashes all over my arm, forearm and neck. (see pictures attached). I had travelling plans to be at Heathrow by 9:am, so at 7:00 am we went down stairs to speak to staff, but we couldn't find anyone anywhere, even though breakfast was suppose to be served at 7:30 A.M. but there wasn't anyone there at 7:00. Obviously we didn't eat here and left.
