| Bunk beds are too small and very congested. this is very different from other hostels where bunk beds are only for two people instead of three in holland park. | ||

| I really liked this place,lovely location and very convenient for Olympia where I was attending a workshop. It's looking tired and dated now but was perfectly clean and there were excellent showers. It was difficult to sleep as people arrived throughout the night, perhaps I was just unlucky with my timing. I would certainly use it again. | ||

| The watertabs in bathrooms were not ok! The flow was very hard and easily got on clothes and well, everywhere! I also prefer when hot and cold water are mixed together and not in one tub each. Showers were better but still difficult to control the flow and also the heat - there has to be a max temperature to avoid burning one self!!

| Remember to bring with you a towel and a padlock for the locker, or they will charge you 4£ and 3£ respectively. Internet is expensive, 20 minutes 1£. Breakfast is 4.95£ but is worth it. The rest is OK. | ||

| A mid-week stay which was good value
The Hostel was clean and comfortable
The Lounge was notavailable which was a pity
The S/C Kitchen could do with a few more mugs and fridge space.
Nice to see that YHA-E&W still have a few of the Traditional Youth Hostels left
Thanks | ||

| Toilet stalls are a bit small. Hostel is kept clean and security is great. The building is old and could use some updating. WIFI is not free either...a down side to this hostel. Location within a park is super nice, just takes a bit longer to get around London with the tube from this location, have to add a bit of extra time because the tube connections can take a few extra minutes. I would still stay here again though. Peaceful, quiet, safe, clean and nice staff. | ||
