No cover sheet for blanket. I was so uncomfortable sleep in the bed without flat sheet. Need to bring your own towels shampoo and toothbrush. Everything is old and broke.

Långa köer till toaletterna, receptionen öppen dygnet runt, ofräsch inredning. Dumt av hotellet att ge oss ett rum fullt med människor när vi kommer mitt i natten. Skapar irritation och det var inte så kul att sova i andra änden av rummet från sin partner för att sängarna är upptagna av andra.

The only good thing about this hostel was that it's actually very central in Bayswater. But very difficuly to find when you're first arriving! I must have searched for about half an hour! The staff was friendly, but the state of the place was terrible! There were holes in the carpet in my room, the building is very noisy, I could hear exactly when my upstairs neighbours were moving around in their room (including in the middle of the night). So, I will not be staying here again on my next visit to London.

Einfach GRAUENHAFT!!!! Alles voller Schmutz! Dreckiger Teppichboden, gebrauchte Bettwäsche (voller Dreck und mit Blutflecken am Leintuch)... Das Fenster ließ sich nicht richtig schließen, daher war es immer eiskalt! Das Bad war um nichts besser, Schimmel an jeder Ecke, Das Klo war ständig verstopft! Unterm Strich war mein Aufenthalt in diesem Hostel der pure Albtraum!!!

I'm never very picky about where I stay as I tend to spend much more time out of my room than in it. I've stayed in hotels and hostels through out Asia, Europe, Africa, the US and Central America, from 5 star resorts to 1 star hostels, and never complain much. So this I think I can be rather fair in my description. The bad: -The rooms, and entire hostel, are dirty, falling apart, foul smelling and overall very unpleasant to be in. The mattresses are old, uncomfortable and covered in urine stains (everyone I looked at). The bunk beds are small, loud/rickety and packed with little room to move. You get a paper thin sheet (which you can actually see the stains through), a blanket barely long enough to cover your body (smelt dirty along with all the bedding) and a relatively comfortable pillow. The bathrooms are disgusting and have no male/female distinction, so that everyone ends up being covered in urine. Not too big a problem for me, being a male and always wearing shoes in the hostel, but the females (including my GF) hated it. We simply used the restrooms at restaurants during our time out. One of the receptionists was nice and seemed very friendly, the rest were rude. The cleaning staff were the worst, one actually kept trying to peak under the covers at my GF will she slept!? The rooms are very loud and you hear EVERYTHING from inside the hostel as well as on the street through the cracked windows which do not fully close. The good: The location is ok... That all...

This is purely a refugee camp and I immediately went to out to find another hotel and waste of my money I must say.
