Gallery Hyde Park Hostel

This hostel is located in a good area of London, close to some of the main attractions including Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, Oxford Street, Soho, two underground stations, Paddington train station, Daina's memorial walk, etc., and is next to a street full of shops including restaurants of various food, cafes, takeaways, pharmacies, supermarkets, souvenirs, perfumes, shoe and watch repairer, bowling centre, and a Catholic church exactly behind the hostel. The staff running this hostel are all nice and helpful people, being at the same level as the residents, you will feel very welcome.

it is not spick and span, it requires general maintenance to be extremely neat and clean, very tidy. Toilets and showers are combined in the same room so when someone is using either the shower or the toilet is also blocking the other facility to other residents who will need to use this facility, almost on every floor except in floor two where few showers and toilets are separated cubicles.

I already sent complaint but no body bother to reply. Once I check in they sent me to 3rd floor with heavy bags via stairs. The second i opened the room it was stinking dirty and no air at all. I came back to reception but they refuse to refund . I am speechless

Ideal location. Lovely outdoor and lively community.

Poor infrastructure. Small luggage area and communal area. Crowded dorms.
