Description
A cozy, comfortable hostel located in the heart of London's buzzing Bayswater, we are one of the most connected and central hostels in London! Being only a few metres from Hyde Park / Kensington Gardens puts you in a beautiful, relaxing area to spend a short or long-term stay in London!

Residing in a partially converted listed hotel building, you'll find the en-suite bathrooms a real treat for the traveller with 24 hour HOT water, clean, sanitary living with a cleaning staff that you will want to compliment! Cozy rooms give way to a large common room with Sky satellite TV, pool table, juke box, lounges and dining tables to suit any of your needs!

A 24-hour bar with Sky Sports, young, vibrant staff and a lively attitude will keep you entertained no matter the time of year! And with drinks specials and already low prices, you won't break your bank to join us!

Booking in to a twin, double, single, triple or quad suite will place you in the hotel part of the building, which still lives up to 3-Star standards! Including en-suite colour TV, direct-dial phone, in-room safe, coffee & tea-making facilities, linen services (including towels and bed-making!) you will revel in low-priced comfort! Add to it the free upgrade to the Full English buffet and you will never want to stay elsewhere!

Booking a dorm provides you with a comfortable, safe room with security lockers (key rental required), free hygenic sheets and your own en-suite bathroom! Dormitory guests can enjoy a Continental English buffet or upgrade to the Full English buffet for only £2.99!

Whether you book in to a private room, hostel room or even just come to visit someone staying with us, you will be impressed by the knowledgable and friendly staff who are all willing to do their best to make your stay with us comfortable and memorable!

• We require a £10.00 fully refundable security deposit on check-in.
• Our bank charges 5% commission on ANY card transactions.

2 I stayed there one week ago. It's nice and close to Hyde Park (100 yards away), and fairly near Queensway, so it's by plenty of restaurants, but over all the living conditions were just the deciding factor. It has the smallest 6-person rooms I have ever seen. I could barely move once I was standing inside of one. Lockers are jammed up between beds. Much of the place is old and antiquated, and they closed up a very poor breakfast 15 minutes earlier than advertised. The only real pluses are the small bar/lounge at the entrance and the location. Oh, and there is only one Internet station that was always busy. And, it seemed that there were people who must have been living there, extended stays. And a much older crew, lots of people 35, 40-plus. Not a real fun place.

2 I stayed in a six-bed room. There were big lockers in the room. The room is too small for six people plus a bathroom. One bathroom for six people is not convenient. In the morning you have to wait. At least it was clean. There was a lousy breakfast on carton dishes with plastic spoons and knives – no thoughts about the environment -ugh!! This hostel has a friendly staff, and it's in a good and quiet location near a tube station.
