This is one of the 'acceptable' hostels I have been to in London. Normally, they are really crowded and cramped. This place is no exception, but much better than many other hostels. There are only two-bunk beds (and no three-four bunks, as in many a London hostel), the staff is all foreign and are very friendly and interesting to talk... More

I've stayed in the Astor Museum Inn twice in the past few years and had an excellent experience both times. The building and rooms were clean and comfortable both stays. It's location right next the British Museum in the heart of london is great. You're never more than a short tube ride from the popular attractions and neighborhoods. And free... More

I stayed here with my boyfriend in January for a week. The location is fantastic and the absolute best thing about this hostel - close to a lot of pubs, the theatres, the British Museum and a couple of tube stations which makes getting to farther sights really easy. The room itself (we had a private) was pretty grimy. We... More

London is not a cheap city. Even the hostels are expensive. For what amounts to a lot of money in some places, here you can get a decent dorm bed in a "rustic" (i.e. old) building, sharing showers and bathrooms. Depending on where they place you, you might be in a second building three blocks from the main address. This... More

This hostel had the most perfect location, it was right across from the British Museum and a few blocks away from Oxford street and an easy walk from the train station. The staff weren't very helpful and they didn't have any maps left while I was there but it was clean. They have a fully equipped kitchen and a tv... More

I've now been to this hostel on three separate occasions. The place is great! The staff is warm and friendly while the atmosphere is that of a backpacker's style hostel. I found it very easy to to meet people here and get find out about great places in the area. More

Rooms are clean and so are the toilet but most of them are located at the secon/third floor with no lift and just narrow stairs and I had very heavy luggage, in addiction the storage room was at the...

I stayed here last year during my first backpacking trip to Europe, a friend of mine stayed along on my first night there and since we made our bookings separately, we promptly requested the hostel staff if we could stay on the same room by giving them our reservation numbers, eventually when I arrived in London my friend informed me...
