I found the staff at this hostel to be unwelcoming and unprofessional to a single traveler and the hostel also unwelcoming and so wasn't happy with my experience there compared to other hostels in the same area although the location is good as near the West End which is 10 minutes walk from the hostel.

I had a stopover in London for one night so just needed a bed for the night and found this place to be fine for that purpose. It's in a good location and is walking distance from Victoria railway and coach station, but if you're taking the Tube get off at Pimlico, which is closer. The hostel has a hang... More

I stayed here for two weeks had a great time. Staff are very friendly an approachable, the breakfast is real good, fresh rolls and cereal (incl. coco pops :D) beds comfy. The most important part to me is the kitchen. Obviously on a budget so I only stay in places with decent kitchens. It was fully stocked pots pans etc... More

So I had read both good and bad things about this Hostel...It was alright in my opinion. Could have been better. We arrived and check in was for 2pm, which I found to be a bit long to wait after having my flight arrive at 8:30 in the morning. It was decently located to the Tube stop from Pimlico (just... More

Great hostel, lots of people all over the place. Fun and friendly staff and great vibes. Stayed with a friend and booked very last minute. Loved the free teas and coffees and a well equipped kitchen. Fresh bread rolls at breakfast!? We loved the atmosphere and spent most of the evening drinking and chatting in the kitchen! 5 minute walk... More

Absolutely the least pleasant experience I've ever had staying at a hostel. I have stayed at hostels all over the world at every price point. This is not the most expensive place I've been but certainly not the best bargain either, especially considering the following things: Our very first impression of this place was walking through the crowd of "d-bags"...

The hostel is centrally located and is clean; there are 2 kitchens, 1 waiting room and a movies room; there are some things this hostel has to work on (1-people using the movies room as a sleeping room preventing other people from sitting and watch too. 2-NOT ENOUGH PLUGS - this sounds stupid but there are not enough plugs on...

I was forced to stay in this hostel after a horrific bus ride from Edinbrugh to London. I was able to book last minute and the location was fairly easy to find. The price is one of the cheapest in the city, and I think it's really great value for what you get. The beds were very comfortable, the showers... More

The Astor's Victoria was my very first hostel stay and it couldn't have been a better experience. I had read many reviews before choosing this place, and despite all the great reviews, there were always a few negative comments. After staying at the Victoria, I would recommend it to anyone. The price was unbeatable for such a fantastic location. The... More
