The first day, my toothpaste disappear and the second day they took my iphone charger and no one put it on lost and found
Some lockers wasn't work properly, but it wasn't a problem because the people who I shared the room, were good and friendly people. The position is really good, a rich zone. A 2 minutes walking to the underground, and a 1 minute or less walking to the bus stop. Just one thing, the shower is in the bedroom, so if there are lots of people sleeping in the same bedroom is a bit difficult and you need waiting so much time to take a shower. There are some toilets in the first floor and in the -1 floor, but not showers. Congrats !
The room was very tiny for hostel standards. The shower/toilet was not very practical and DEFINITELY not on standard.
perfect for all ages..fun ,clean.modern place...hostel w a charm...1-and some 4 persons room... only thing is showers are too small....and no place to put backpacs!!
I really don't understand that is London's inflation utterly high? Everything at here is almost charged! I didn't encounter such matter in those hostels I lived before! I even paid more expensive than the previous hostels, but I needed to spend even more than previous those... At least, I don't think it will worth me to give twenty some pounds to it each night! Anyway, the only point to praise, is the staff are kind and helpful.
Hi, I don't like those rooms with the bathroom insight because people go and come so offten to use the toilet and or take shower and is horrible for people who whant sleep well. Is not possible to slep and also you can keep your intimity. Thanks,
A good hotel, we had a nice privet room with 4 beds, about 4minutes walk to an underground station, only 5 stops on the 'district line' to picadilly and it was pretty cheap too! :) Friendly personnel. Sadly there is no 'real' bar on the ground floor. greetz from belgium
One of the best Hostels i have been ever!
It's OK
Very friendly staff, easy to find, great atmosphere and excellent service.
Very clean and the position is really fantastic, 150m from Gloucester Road (underground).
the hostel's location is very good,in the center of London. The area is safe and convenient, very close to the tube station, jus abt 5 mins walk. Also, the hostel is very clea and tidy, the bed was very comfortable. nice environment! jus the toliet inside the room is a bit too small but all other things are perfect! We reli had very great time in the hostel! highly recommended this hostel! P.S. the hostel is directly in front of the natursal science museum!
All was good except that not a clear answer could be given whether ministry of sound was open, leading to a 3 hour trip in the night just to find the club is closed price very good position very good staff nice breakfast better than expected strongly recommended
Great facilities, location, staff, and all around experience. Only complaint is the shower is a tad too noisy on the WCs inside the rooms, making it hard to sleep when someone is using it.
I spent only one night at the Meininger. It's a perfect location if you want to visit the museums or to go for a walk in the morning in Kensingtons Gardens. There's also a lot of fast-foods just around the corner. It was also very clean, everywhere in the building. There is a free luggage room which had been grantly appreciated. The only things which disappointed me was the air-conditionning who was very loud (it wake me up several times during the night !) and the fact that it's a XXth century building so it lacks a bit of personnality. The breakfast is not included and I found it a bit poor, for that price I could have ate a real english breakfast (with the bacon, the eggs and the beans) in a pub around the corner. I don't know if I will come back but I certaintly recommand if you're planning a trip with a big group.
Dear team, as a whole I liked a lot your place and service. Perfect location, cleanliness, quietness (!). Fun: what? The entertainment is London itself, what does it have to do with the place meant to provide sleep and rest? The TV and the PCs in the foyer were more than enough. Staff: highly expeditious and kind, but with one exception: forgotten breakfast stamps on my guest card, but that was settled (I give 70 points because of the stamps; the breakfasts paid for in cash were written as dates, but no stamps). The rest of the staff - flawless.
The bathrooms in the dorms should be improved
very good place and very well located. t
clean!good position!i want to stay here again if i visit to London.
I loved staying here. I will definately stay here again when I come back to London!! Thank you very much :-)
