    Vorrei segnalare la mia soddisfazione per la piacevole scoperta. Siamo stati benissimo, la stanza è stata confortevole e spaziosa, forse il bagno un po piccolino ma i miei tre bambini mia moglie ed io abbiamo trascorso un ottimo soggiorno. Lo consiglio a chi vuole trascorrere un soggiorno essenziale ma confortevole, ideale per chi ama dedicarsi alla scoperta della città. Dimenticavo l'ostello è situato in uno splendido quartiere centrale e tranquillo, ed non ha nulla da invidiare ad un albergo.

    Hotel Ubication is very easy, because in a few minutes of Tube you can arrive in London City and all major attractions. Rooms are poor but cleaned the first day. During the day spent there (5 days) none clean the room, just the rubbish and none change the bathroom towels. Inside side rooms are quite, externe side room not quite because street traffic. Breakfast is English, not biscuits, cake and hot milk. But quality good.

    Very family friendly hotel. Nice with all the Scouts. Breakfast room light and has a nice view. Breakfast buffet simple but good. Nice quiet area, close to underground/bus. Within walking distance to many attractions, such as Hyde Park, Harrods, museums etc. On the downside: Very small bathroom. Shower curtain too short (wet floor). No drinking water in the room, but OK since there was a water fountain in the corridor. TV remote was missing. Overall we had a very pleasant stay.

    It's Scout House so it's full of noisy kids, and adults feel a bit out of place and no alcohol allowed in rooms. (These kids possibly give this place its high rating!). The "ensuite" single room was just like a tiny student dorm with single bed and a cavernous disabled bathroom attached. TV pretty useless. Nonetheless good location (Gloucester Rd tube station - though watch for massive queues for tickets in the morning).

    I booked a single room and was given hostel room - which makes the rating scheme usless.. because it was a hostel room 2 bunks 2 beds and shower toilet module and not a room with ensuite as they had run out. Other than that it was clean and a bed for the night, good breakfast canteen, good location.

    Somos una familia de 5 personas (3 niños) y nos dieron una Ensuite room... La calidad del servicio fuè excelente, desde la bienvenida en la recepcion, siempre con gente joven y cordial, hasta la limpieza de la habitacion... Ah, y ni hablar del desayuno: "all you can eat" excelente para empezar una jornada turistica con las baterias bien cargadas.... Sencillamente un buen hotel comparado con tantas otras estructuras en Londres que por el mismo precio ofrecen mucho menos... Recomendado al 100%... Siamo una famiglia di 5 persone (3 bambini), quindi ci hanno dato una ensuite room... POsso dire che la qualità del albergo fu eccellente... Dalla accoglienza nella reception, sempre gestita da persone giovani e cortese, fino la pulizia delle camere... La colazione: Magistrale! con un "all you can eat", giusto per iniziare una giornata di turismo con le batterie belle cariche. Senza piu parole: un buonissimo albergo. Altre strutture a Londra allo stesso prezzo non offrono tanti servizi come questo albergo, senza lasciare fuori la qualità... Raccomandato al 100%

    Family with 2 older children (16 and 19) for 6 nights staying. Very nice hostel, well located, nearby the National and Science museum and the South Kensington underground station (10 mins walk). Our room was large and quite - only the bathroom is relatively small. The breakfast included in the price :-) was good. All in all, it is an excellent choise for people not looking for high rated hotel. I would certainly go again in case of a further visit to London.

    The welcoming offered by the staff were nice. However, there was a little problem about the room arrangement on our first day. They sorted out quickly on the second day and they offered a reasonable reduction of price because of that. The rooms were clean, yet you need to make bed by yourself for the upper bed. The breakfast were great as well. A cozy and comfortable hsotel.
