Giving this hostel an average rating is probably being generous. Service was let down by some staff members who don't know how to be friendly and welcoming. however management was good and dealt with problems fairly as they arose. Other staff where nice. Dont expect anything special in the rooms they are basic and the beds are small. Perhaps the... More

I am not generally picky when it comes to travel. I've stayed in many low budget places around the world. But being clean, friendly and safe are very important. (Even just friendly and safe would be enough...) This hostel is none of those. A smile is free to give but none of the staff can manage even that. Rubbish was... More

Ive wanted a cheap hotel to spend the night and found this hotel on booking.com for about 60 euros. It was a big mistake. The single room with a private bathroom was veryyyyy small. To get into shower I needed to step over the toilet, not to mention that there was no light in the bathroom. to make it worst... More

Visit a youth hostel in Nederlands, for example).... ... you must pay for a simple locker that doesn't work (no combination, you must wait 10 mn for opening)... ... you must pay... More

Stayed at Royal Bayswater hostel for the weekend with my fiancé. We arrived at 10 (before check-in time) and didn't expect to be able to go to our room straight away and so left our backpacks in the luggage room. This was no hassle at all. Upon checking in at 2pm the same 2 girls were at reception and the... More

From the name, location and outside appearance you would think this would be a nicely furnished hostel. Inside is a different story. The reception area looks ok with 20+ computers for internet access. Our room was fairly shabby, 4 sets of bunkbeds which were sound and with foam mattresses as expected and clean linen issued on arrival. The toilet/shower room... More
