This hostel company doesn't have the best reviews, so I was a little worried about booking, but was pleasantly surprised. After arriving at the address given, we were picked up and driven to a different property. The property where we actually stayed was in a nice, quiet neighborhood close to a tube station. Our room was also really big and bright. The wifi worked well and there was even a washer and dryer to use. Since the other reviews are not good, I guess we lucked out.

Dont stay here.
No staff are actually at the property, I had to wait about 40 mins to be let in by another guest then wait longer for someone to drive to the hostel for me to check in. The keys/locks for the rooms must work for all doors because 2 times other guests opened my door including a man walking into my room at 3am. When I called the staff (cos there aren't any staff there) I didn't get an answer.

Nice place
Close to tube stations and a small village . Sainsburys in walking distance. The man who ran it and I assume his wife are quiet and friendly people.

Good in a pinch
As the cheapest option we didn't expect anything lavish but the utensils and crockery in the cupboards were grimy and gross, our oven didn't have an ignition switch, there were frequent blackouts and we never received the second house key we were promised so when returning from work late at night I had to have my sister come down from the top floor to let me in. Also, the prices for the washer and dryer were incorrect as the machines did not allow for the correct change so it cost more than advertised. Having said that the staff were friendly and helpful.

No reception???
I have stayed in many hostels in many countries but this one was bit unusual. After the booking I received the automated email from the hostel that they own many buildings so I have to call the number when I get there and and someone will come with the key etc. They only accept cash and no change is given. Also the check in time was till 5:30 pm and late check in after hours is chargeable. None of these things are advertised when you actually book the hostel.

Can do way better.
The kitchen and commons area were ok. But the location and room cleanliness leave a lot to be desired. The rooms smelled terrible and little was done by the staff to make it better. Plus if you arrive after 5:30pm you are charged an extra 15 GBP. Even though that is not stated anywhere in the confirmation provided by Expedia. OK hostel in a pinch but would not plan to stay here again. The WiFi didn't work in the room. Not an enjoyable experience.

Never Again, Never EVER!!! I dont care how cheap
Oh I would never stay here again, this place is awful. The Hostel is in the end of zone 2 of the underground which is the only positive. When I arrived, I was told I needed to pay for my stay even though I had a prepaid stay, I prepaid through the website, even saw the paper work that said my reservation was prepaid on their paper work. The staff tried to get me to pay more, perhaps because they haven't paid for something, and maybe hotels.com is holding their money for advertising. I dont know, but if you prepaid, chances are you were already charged and dont owe anything and they do. The rooms are way over crowded, I was in a room that had 8 beds, but the room was probably for 4 maybe 6, but not 8, no room to move around. I should also mention that the hostel I stayed in which was advertised as 30 chatsworth, and that property looked better, I ended up in 39 chatsworth, which is across the road, and is a total dump. This place actually has people that have lived here for longer than 3 months, as one of the people I shared a room with has been here for longer than 3 months, I wouldn't even leave your valuables in the lockers provided, Provided the residents haven't already taken them. The neighborhood is nice, the train is directly behind the property and you can hear it running at night, on a Friday or Saturday when they start running nightly service on the underground be warned. I warn you about this place.

The accommodation was absolutely filthy. I‘ve never experienced something like this… First of all, we were perfectly on time for the check in, in the end we needed to wait 35 Minutes for someone to come by. We needed to call the management 2 times and still it took that long… Arriving in our room it wasn’t fitting to the pictures shown on the internet. Our room was tiny… there was a small fridge standing right behind the door and very small space to put your belongings in. (If you even wanted that…) The most important point is that the room as well as the bathrooms which you are sharing with different people, which seem to live there, were disgustingly dirty. The bed sheet had several stains on it and the room itself was very dirty. The walls were covered in something we don’t even know… and behind a picture they tried to hide a broken wall. The fridge hat black stains in it and smelled a little weird. The public bath had dirty showers and in the toilet were (you know) …. Stains. At the end we became an new apartment which was better and more private, still a bit dirty but compared to what we‘ve had before much better. Wouldn‘t recommend! Go somewhere else, the area the hostel was didn’t feel safe either many homeless people by night. The only positive point is that it was in Zone 2 Kilburn, with the underground you were quick in the City centre.

Ich war 4 Tage im Hostel, hat etwas lange gedauert bis ich den Schlüssel bekommen habe aber danach war alles super. Ich mein man sollte natürlich für so ein Preis nicht all zuviel erwarten von dem her fand ich die Zimmer und den Aufenthalt dort echt entspannt. Die Leute waren sehr nett und generell hab ich mich sehr wohl gefühlt.

Ein Zimmer in Kilburn
Das Zimmer war sehr dreckig und sehr klein. Für den Preis den ich bezahlt habe sollte man ein bisschen mehr erwarten können. Die Küche war sehr dreckig somit könnte ich vor Ort nichts kochen und musste nur von draußen essen. Welches mein Urlaub noch teurer machte. Investiert also in ein eher sauberes Hotel.
