  • Overall: Rating of 3.8 out of 5

    "The rooms are pretty small, and the \"ensuite\" is basically just a shower in the middle of the room (wouldn\'t pay extra for that if I had to do it over again) but overall, it was a decent place in a fab location--about 15 min from lots of big tourist spots." source Hostelworld

    "This is a good place to stay for backpackers - with a big kitchen, a nice lounge and common room and it\'s situated pretty well between two tube stations (we\'d recommend Pimlico, it\'s closer." source Hostelworld

    "it was perfect location to victoria station, 10 min walk, staff was very helpful, overall good experience, would stay there again:)." source Hostelworld

  • Clean: Rating of 3.4 out of 5

    "the toilet near the kitchen is not really clean, perhaps, it is used by the staff since it is just beside the staff's room. i would suggest that the toilet should be cleaned regularly since it is in the public area." source Hostelworld

    "I was in Astor Victoria for two days and it was very good, the room and the bathroom are very clean, and the staff is always there for helping u; and is very near to the tube so u can get anywhere anytime." source Hostelworld

    "very nice and clean hostel, helpfull staff, the only negative point: i didn�t have warm water under the shower, but that was probably because i tried when everyone else had a shower before." source Hostelworld

    "Beds were clean and comfortable but the showers were quite unkept and there was no place to set down your clothing except the floor which was dirty, covered in hair, and impossibly wet." source Hostelworld

    "This hostel has a good location and it is fairly clean with limited free internet; however the rooms were small compared to the number of beds and the bathrooms were often dirty." source Hostelworld

  • Service: Rating of 4.1 out of 5

    "Helpful staff, clean hostel was very helpful the first day we arrived at 8am as they let us have a breakfast and shower even though we wern\'t checking in til 2pm." source Hostelworld

    "I was only there one night, but it had a fun atmosphere, 40 minutes of free wi-fi and an efficient and very helpful staff." source Hostelworld

    "This hostel is probally one of the best I stayed at, mainly cus of the helpful staff :) They were awesome." source Hostelworld

    "The location is perfect,close to everthing, but the staff and service were really unpleasant." source Hostelworld

    "very good service, it was fully booked but still clean, organized and staff was always nice." source Hostelworld

  • Location: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "It's in a great location. It's not right in the craziness of the center, but a very residential neighborhood and its near a tube stop with about 4 lines on it, so you can get anywhere." source Hostelworld

    "I liked the atmosphere, the common rooms are pretty, the rooms are spacious and quite clean, the location is excellent (especially if you've got to catch an airport bus at 6am." source Hostelworld

    "good location, near to victoria station, a short walk fron london eye and big ben, small rooms but there's everything you need, young,helpful, and pretty pretty staff." source Hostelworld

    "But the hostel had a great vibe and was in a fantastic location. Within walking distance to Buckingham palace and the attractions along the thames." source Hostelworld

    "well-located, nice people, but too clairaudient and we missed toilet brushes and soap on the toilet (so sometimes dirty and unhygienic conditions)." source Hostelworld

  • Value

    "Located around 10 minutes away from Victoria Station and main attractions, it's just a good value for money." source Hostelworld

    "So we checked out the same day and found a really nice hotel suite two doors down for the same price." source Hostelworld

    "Aubrey and the gang sure know how to run a hostel, very clean, very well located, very good price." source Hostelworld
