Astor Kensington Hostel

Great location and perfect for solo travelling

Yes it was easy to locate all you need nice location

Staff was great. I didn’t like the bunk style beds.

Yes

Terrible terrible terrible bed. People coming into dorm at all times of night with absolutely no regard for people trying to sleep. Rather unclean. Front desk people weird. Two way better hostels nearby for cheaper prices.

This hostel is good for a night or two. I stayed there because arrived very late the first night and knew I'd spend all day exploring London the next day & walking distance to Paddington Station to take the Heathrow Express. It's a very basic hostel. It's not dirty but not the cleanest. It can use some updating.

I have rented a private room with my friend, and the price and location were very good, close to verious shops and the Paddington station. Our room was on the 5th floor and there wasn't an elevator available, which wasn't a dealbreaker for me, but something to bear in mind if you have mobility issues. Facilities in the room were new, shower pressure and temperature were good, but there was no extractor fan in the bathroom, so the bathroom and the room would get very steamy. I have been unlucky and my stay happened during the heatwave in London, which made being in the room practically unbearable. It would get extremely hot, and while the hostel provided a fan, it did little to nothing. Would not recommend staying here in the summer, but I'm sure in spring/autumn it will be fine.

Awesome place to stay. Loved the rooms, and the kitchen/dining area.

There is no curtain to protect my privacy

Great priced place in a perfect location. Couldn’t beat the price for a private room with private bath. The bathroom was very tight, however still nice to have our own dedicated bathroom. We were on the 5th floor and it felt like a hike up the stairs as it seemed to be a floor and a half of stairs per flight, but for the price and location I’d stay again as it met our needs perfectly.

good!

Loved the kitchen and dining room. Had everything I needed.

clean room and convenient location

It was alright. The people were very nice. The bed was clean and very comfortable surprisingly. It’s a shame the sockets weren’t working in my room. They had little wall mounted ones to charge phones with a usb but I wanted to turn on the fan.

Staff are friendly and nice , very helpful . Area around hotel not the best but its london

Good place, I recommend it

Soggiorno di 3 notti e 4 giorni. Terribile. Gente strana in tutto l'ostello (mandavano occhiate ogni qualvolta vedevano me e le mie amiche), spazzatura davanti alla porta del palazzo, niente ascensore ( e io avevo la stanza al quinto piano). Non mi sono sentita affatto al sicuro per tutto il soggiorno. Niente phon nella stanza, mi sono dovuta asciugare i capelli all'entrata dell'ostello, con il phon che mi ha dato la ragazza alla reception (con la porta aperta ed era inizio dicembre.. quindi immaginate il freddo ed io ero con i capelli bagnati). La ragazza voleva che le dessi 5£ in contanti (che mi avrebbe poi restituito), che io non avevo poichè Londra non è molto cash friendly (per cui avevo solo la mia carta). Nonostante le avessi detto che avrei potuto proprio pagare quei soldi con la carta, lei non ha accettato. Le scale sono molto piccole e con le valigie fino al quinto piano è stato un incubo. Le stanze poi strettissime e piccolissime. Per 130£ a testa per 3 notti non ne vale assolutamente la pena. Opinione mia personale, se siete in vacanza per qualche giorno cercate altro. Questo soggiorno vi rovinerebbe solo la vacanza.

Staff was amazing, But the beds are not comfortable taps are keep making the sounds windows are hard to make them lock, couple couldn't able able to sleep on bed

The staff here are amazing. They are very, very nice! In the future when I visit London again, I will always stay at Astor Kensington Hostel as long as available.
