Astor Victoria Hostel

It's only great in terms of location.Rooms are extremely tiny with no charging sockets/points on the beds like other hostels.The toilets are tiny as well. The ratio of toilets to number of people isn't ideal. So people will be knocking at the door every now and then.

Great place to spend a maximum of 2 nights...rooms ok, bathrooms clean, but the first receptionist who attended to me in 11/11 13pm was extremely rude when I said that I couldn't book on the website because it said there was no room available, she told me that Her job wasn't to help me with this... so what is she paid for? I managed to make an appointment without this person's help...I came back and was very well attended to by the night receptionist, who was very polite and kind to me.

They had lovely and friendly staff. Hostel was very close to the Tube station, like 5-10 minute walk. The location was in a very safe posh area" in my opinion. First time in London

I stayed in the hotel for 4 days. The toilets and showers were very unhygienic. The kitchen was okay. The kitchen and living room were not comfortable or inviting. The pictures of the accommodation do not match reality. For example, one room no longer exists; I specifically asked.

I was pretty worried about this accommodation after reading some of the other reviews, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I had a female only room for 7 nights, and it was clean and tidy, and the beds were comfortable. No issues with any of the bathroom or kitchen facilities blocking, and they were always clean when I used them. Reception staff were really friendly and helpful when needed. The only things that really bothered me were the lack of power plugs in the bed (but there were plenty in the room to use), and people thumping their suitcases up and down the stairs early in the morning. The area felt really safe, and I was quite happy walking around at night. Great location. A little noisy as expected for the area, but it really quietened down about midnight. Would definitely stay here again.

We booked a room for 7 people in an 8 person dorm. I emailed the facility to ensure that all 7 of us would be together in the same room, the person I was in contact with reassured me time and time again that we would all be together. When we showed up on the day of our reservation the front desk worker let us know we were now all spilt up, which is something we were not comfortable with. The front desk worker even promised us a partial refund due to the companies mistake. However, we went to check out, the same worker was extremely hostile towards us and let us know she wouldn't be giving us any sort of refund, even though less than 24 hours before she promised us one. We also had man laying on one of the beds we reserved, which we let the staff know about. The same girl let us know that there was nothing that they could do, even though the man was switching between the bed he bought and one of the beds that we had bouhgt. Overall, not a great hostel experience, as we have stayed in many with much friendlier and accommodating staff.

Good quiet location, we used a private room that afforded a bit more privacy, however the shower and sink were unusable because the taps were blocked. The place can be OK if you just want to have a good time, but don't expect to be able to sleep at night, the walls are paper thin, the doors are noisy and it is inevitable that someone next door to you will be having a rowdy good time keeping everyone else awake.

Overall it's a good place, they have WiFi, a lounging area when you can watch a movie on a projector, kitchens and separate washroom and showers. Very hygienic, clean and felt very safe and friendly.

The rooms were okay. It was incredibly inconvenient to not have sufficient charging points and there was a contact turmoil with 2 extension cords to try and manage it for all 6 beds and not trip over them while being able to charge devices. The window didn't open and needed to be propped up by something. The bathrooms were definitely a struggle from a cleanliness perspective.
