Was here for 3 nights during the Notting hill carnival. Location is ideal for this. However, hostel world advised that my friend and I would have a shared room but on arrival the receptionist told us otherwise. This place has a lot of long term residents so apparently 2 people travelling together are rarely able to share a room. The... More

Never knew there are still places that serve workhouse rate breakfast in the UK. Stayed in this place for a few days, tried breakfast once and decided to cut losses and ignore it on other days. I mean how do you call two slices of toast (you prepare it yourself) a cup of tea/coffee with cold milk, lard/jam and cereal... More

The only thing i didn't like as much was the food...coz i'm Italian. Overall it was a positive experience!! Call in advance... More

The facilities are extremely old and ill-maintained. I got a bed with a hole in the middle. The landlord and managers are extreme unfriendly. For foreigners, please just give your passport to the stranger security guy for "deposit", because otherwise you will either be kicked out of the hotel or sleeplessly argue with them forever. The cheap price is attractive,... More

I just got back to the US from a weekend in London, so I thought I would share my thoughts on Bowden Court. I am not a picky person when it comes to hostels - just something clean, well-managed, fully staffed and welcoming. That was not the case with Bowden Court. If you're truly just looking for somewhere to sleep... More

We went here for three weeks. It's a disgusting place. There are a lot of bedbugs in many rooms. Many of us had some bedbugs stings in some part of our body. One of our friends had many bedbugs stings and she was allergic. His body was full of blisters (BIG blisters...), she couldn't even walk correctly, and all they... More

They offer two meals (breakfast and dinner) if you can call it like this. Terrible impossible to eat during my stay I had only fruit and few times. Plenty of Spanish... More
