”If I was rating the Devil’s armpit, this place would be 5/5. Sadly, I’m not. I’ve stayed in many places and this was the worst I have experienced.
I booked weeks in advance through Expedia specifically for a twin room with a private bathroom due to medical needs. The description said “private bathroom”.
Days before arrival, the hostel said I had actually booked a bunk-bed room with a shared bathroom. I was told the hostel had made an error, but none of their twin rooms have private bathrooms...

”The bunk beds had their own curtains, so it blocked off the lights and the bed was comfortable. The downside was we couldn’t keep the window during the night even though it was warm inside because there is a bar underneath is and people were talking loudly so you could hear them even with the windoe closed (there are fans in the room). The staff were helpful and nice!”

”Prisvärt boende!
Dessvärre fungerade duscharna dåligt, hittade dock en dusch längre bort i korridoren nära hissen som hade bra tryck i vattnet.
Personalen i receptionen hade även väldigt svårt att dra på smilbanden, annars var det ett toppen boende. Bra område!”

”The building is beautiful and historic, but service and safety issues overshadowed its charm.
Service: My stay began poorly when I was given a room inferior to the one I chose on the Hotels.com app. Staff were skeptical that specific rooms could even be selected via the app and offered no apology. I felt labeled as a "difficult guest" for simply asking for the room I paid for. Photos are expertly taken but make the sleeping areas look much better than reality.
Safety: Despite visiting mid-week...

”On the first day the lock to my room broke, and I was stuck inside for almost 40 minutes. I was on my way to see taylor swift, and unfortunately missed the first opener because of this. I felt a bit unsafe staying here, because of the lock situation and I kept thinking about what would have happened if there had been a fire or some other emergency and I would have been unable to leave the room… No one offered me an apology and the lock was not fixed during my stay. The room next to mine was...

”Hotelli/hostelli oli ihan karmaisevassa kunnossa. En suosittele tätä kellekään sillä sain hotellin huoneen vessassa käydessä wc-pöntöstä jonkun bakteerin, joka aiheutti minulle välittömästi niin pahan ihottuman, että jouduin menemään lääkäriin.
Huone oli TODELLA huonosti siivottu. Hygieniataso sellainen, ettei tuonne saisi asiakkaita laittaa! Wc:ssä oli hiuksia, kylpyamme oli pölyinen, joka paikassa oli roskaa ja kaiketi wc-pönttöäkään ei ollut edellisten käyttäjien jäljiltä puhdistettu....

”Siisti huone, hyvällä paikalla. Miinusta siitä, että vedenpaine oli huono mutta se lienee kaikkialla englannissa sama juttu hienommissakin hotelleissa. Hotellin ympäristö myös hyvä: kolme kauppaa, pubi ja ravintoloita.”

”We definitely enjoyed our stay at the Astor Hyde Park. For a quick weekend trip, it was conveniently located and in a safe area.
Pros:
-Friendly, helpful staff.
-AMAZING location in a safe area with convenient access to Hyde Park and the bus line. About 10 min walk to nearest metro. Very quiet neighborhood and hostel.
-Comfortable bed.
Cons:
-Water temperature in our double bed en suite was inconsistent, changing from super hot to cold during the shower.
-Since it was hot outside, we had our...

”Rude customer service plus poor sleeping since people in the shared 10 ppl room were coming and going, talking etc all the time. Rooms in 3 floors, but not toilets/showers on every floor.”

”Budget-friendly option with a great value for money. Very near King's Cross St. Pancras, lockers underneath bunk beds (have your own lock) and comfy bed. Thick duvet, comfy pillow and fresh sheets.
24h reception is key especially when you have no idea when you are arriving. Be it a budget transportation or just your ability to get stuck in odd situations that just happen while travelling.
I had my own travel towel so didn't rent one. Shower was ok. On my short stay I didn't get water that...

”Good location, (Google map puts it to a slightly wrong location on the same street..) walkable distance to many places.
Breakfast ends a bit early but it surprised me positively by being a little bit more than just the toast and tea/coffee.
Good that there are 3 options for bathrooms, one was always free in need, though all in different floors.
No common area or kitchen other than the bar at street level so no cheap (have your own) meal/drink options.
Clean rooms and bathrooms (bring your...

"Hotelli oli Lontoon yleiseen tasoon verrattuna erittäin siisti ja puhdas (ei viitettä luteista tms). Palvelu oli nopeaa ja hyvää. Aamiainen oli hyvä mm croissantit oli tuoreita. Lasta ilahdutti pannukakkukone. Hotelliravintolan päivällinen oli koko perhe huomioiden ihan ok. Kylpylävuoro varattiin erikseen, mutta sen sai haluamalle ajalle. Uima-allas oli noin 12x5m ja noin 120-140cm syvä (ja uimavalvoja oli paikalla!). Uima-allastilaan näkymä lasiseinäisestä saunasta, sauna oli 60C, kiuas piilossa, ei löydyn mahdollisuutta (mutta ihan ok lämmittelyyn). Jotkut yksittäiset esineet (mm osa kylpyläosaston lokeroiden ovista) oli ilmeisesti kovan kulutuksen seurauksena rikki ja yksi WC-pönttö huonohkosti kiinni seinässä. Hotellin vierestä menee bussit South Ealing -asemalle ja viereisen moottoritien varresta Ealing Broadwaylle noin 5-10min välein, mutta kokonaisuudessaan seikkailu keskustaan vie ruuhka-aikana noin 50min. Lentokentälle pääsee hyvin ja hieman nopeammin. Hotelli on moottoritien varressa, jonkin verran kuuluu liikenteen ääniä. Pikkukauppa ja kahvila viereisessä talossa, lähin McDonalds ja muita ravintoloita Brentfordissa noin 1km päässä. Saattaisin mennä uudelleenkin."
"Excellent and clean, modern hotel with all the necessary services, and a great restaurant.
The hotel Wifi is untrustworthy. I am working globally with delivering remote training programs and facilitating events online. I had chosen this hotel while reading up on that they'd offer an executive wifi package. Unfortunately that is not available. The wifi was fine (20 Mb) until 3pm when all guests started checking in dropped to (3-5 Mb). My facilitation was disrupted and I had to go down to the lobby cafe (noisy) to deliver my training session. This was very unfortunate. "
