I reserved nine nights and left the hostel for three days expecting that my room and belongings were secure. I was wrong: I came back to find that I had been moved to a new room. Good thing I locked up my clothes because my suitcase disappeared. The staff tried to be helpful but the manager took no responsibility. Pluses:... More

This hotel is terrible. When we arrived (2 persons) we didn't have a great welcome. We had to wait fora lmg time before we could enter the hotel. We entered the room.

I stayed 2 nights in the hostel (def. not a hotel). And was disappointed by the lack of basic standards, even on a budget, some things are just not acceptable, as you'll see on the pictures, it's not even worth 30 euros a night. The staff is friendly enough but don't expect any special treatment apart from the basic check-in... More

We asked for help from the hotel staff, but they didn't care. Told us that this had happened before. And they dont take... More

My first impression of Hotel, was O.K. For that price, acceptable. BUT, When I came in my room it was really poor. Crooked and short bed (I am only 1.82 m high), bathroom without hot water... My friend get room WITHOUT TOILETE!! Too much rooms and people and breakfast place is small!

This hotel is a nightmare. Nasty and not cheap as you would expect from such a place: you pay as much as you would do in a real hotel in Earl's Court, but you stay in a poorly managed hostel. Don't choose it, it's a mistake!

I was in London for 3 nights to visit my sister and I must say I almost always go to this hostel. It's clean and in a good position. I started coming here before when it was called Ace hotel. The only thing to improve is breakfast (they used to have croissants and scones a part from cereal, coffee, juice... More
