West Two London

Clean hostel, Good friendly staff, Safe hostel
It is a good hostel. situated near bayswater. i was in this hostel for more than three years. nearby is the garden. The gardens are very big and the area is a nice area. They got a TV room where we watch movies.

Not too fancy but all right, great value for your money
I stayed at West Two London for a week in February 2008. It is not the Hilton for sure, but I paid only 6 quid for a night through internet booking (it is 10 if you pay in person). Weekends (fri, sat) are more expensive. It is in the heart of London, has a very good location, which is most important. It is close to both Bayswater and Queensway stations and the Kensington Gardens. There were four bunk beds in my room, even if it was more expensive than I paid for (the ten-bed one), as far as I can remember. The sheets were regularly changed and the room was cleaned every day (not very precisely, but was acceptable).The bunk beds and the sheets/pillows were new. The building itself is old inside, creaky stairs and wobbly handrails, walls not very clean. There is a common room and kitchen downstairs. That level looks like a cellar, not too fancy, but it was not dirty. There is only one toilet/shower facility on each level, which is annoying. If someone takes a shower, you have to wait with urgent projects or go to an other floor and hope it is not occupied. The staff was helpful and kind, including the cleaners. There was one cleaner who was moaning sometimes and was slamming doors. The breakfast was served from 8 to 10 a.m., self-service -- milk, orange juice, bread and butter, jam, cornflakes, chocolate milk, tea.
