Overall, it is a decent hostel. It's just that the bed is a bit too short for me when I'm about to get up. There is no elevator inside. There's a restaurant nearby, and it's near Earl's Court station. Other than that, my overall experience was positive, 4/5.

I just stayed for one night, with my grandson, pre Christmas London break. Great location, 5 mins walk from Earl’s Court station. Friendly , helpful staff, clean hostel, with comfy dining area. I do think youth hosteling is becoming quite expensive, £90 for a room with bunk beds and a basin is a bit steep, when a travelogue type would be so more comfy, but I’ve been hosteling for 45 years and trying to visit all the English ones, so we have another one ticked off and a stamp in the book!!!

Staff were super nice and the location was quiet and accessible by tube. The room I stayed in was clean, it had a sink in the room, lights and charging ports for each person, and lockers. Bathrooms were clean too. It’s a simple place so don’t expect anything extravagant. The pillows are slightly uncomfortable but if you need a clean and safe place to stay for a few nights this is perfect.
