The staff was very nice and helpful. Location of the hostel is near all the sights so you could even walk everywhere you intend to. The main complain is towards the food, that part could be a lot better. Also, they could put a couple of charging devices for tourists from other countries, for example for tourists from Croatia. We don't have that kind of plug-ins. Rooms are nice and clean, very functional.

Great place to stay, found it clean and had nice staff. Just one downside, my room was way up the top of the building. As my luggage was quite heavy it was a struggle to get it up and down. I felt they should have let it be known that there were so many stairs, don't think I would have taken it had I known. Back is sore after lugging it up there. Apart from this all good!

We stayed only one night, however it was quite comfortable and clean, the beds were pretty confortable and the bathroom was really clean. The staff was really polite and check-in and check-out was really fast. The building is 1minute walk far from Bayswater tube station.

Showers/ toilets are ok. Beds are dirty! A bit expensive. Free Wifi only 1h per day. Luggage room is not free. The hostel is fine if u clean the bed and don't spend much time there.

This hostel has a great location. It is close to the tube. However, it is cramped. The showers and toilets are in extremely tight spaces. People tend to stay for only one night. This leads to a long lines at check in and check out. There is a small common area with two outlets for charging phones.

very nice hostel: you've got what you pay for (don't expect a 5 star hotel) and it's clean, people are cool but not "partyyyyy" so you can still sleep. Good stuff.

It's very near to the undergroud. Near Notting hill, nice area. The hostel is not so clean, they try to clean but sometimes the people are so dirty...I was in a 20beds bedroom, I think is better a room with less bed also if you have to spend some $ more.

It has a great location but the conditions are poor, the rooms are cramped, the showers are improvised and so the bedrooms are too small for all the people with few little windows, wich makes for a bad smell all around. I would have spent more for more decent accommodations, its only serves the bare minimum and it's the only choice if there's nothing else.

Good choice for just a couple of days: fairly clean and good atmosphere in common areas. Only one shower per room, which is pretty tight for rooms of 14 people. They charge you for even breathing...

We were very very very late for Check in, but the Staff waited for us =)

The Hostel is not directly in the city, but the underground Station is near.

The rooms were very clean. Breakfast included =)

You pay for the bed, shower and toilet and that’s it. Everything else is charged; there is no option for renting anything (towels, power adaptor) and you have to pay for leaving your luggage there too.

good: Good location. Good staff.

Bad: Dirty, loud.

I shared a room with others, and one time is one time to much, i will never share a room again. I couldnt sleep, the persons in the room very loudly, and once a couple had sex.

So never never again

Lovely staff, good location right next to the tube station, good atmosphere and not too expensive. Only downside to this hostel are the showers, they are clean and warm enough but the water pressure is so low that hardly any water comes out at all.

Good atmosphere, the staff always present and available. Toilets and showers aren't clean and in particular showers are in bad condition (little water and no pressure).Good for internet and the tv room. The kitchen hasn't so much stuff to cook!

Very well!! Just the breakfast is not good, but for this price is sufficient enough. The position is perfect, in front of the underground (Bayswater. The staff is fantastic, very funny! In my opinion the Smart Hyde Park Inn is a good hostel to spend time with friends or alone. More, it's possible to meet guys who come from all around the world ( i met spanish, french, australian, german, austrian, canadian, czech, american etc...)

it is a nice hostel with friendly staff in a great neighbourhood.

for breakfast: toast, jam, cereals and coffee was fine.

20bedroom is too small (bad air), too loud and the lockers are not includet (1.50 / day).

the shower/toilet is low standard and very small.

in the basement is a tv and sitting opportunities.

all in all, it was ok, but next time, i will take a smaller room.

Staff aren't very helpful, don't speak english very well.

Rooms are full and dirty, but beds are clean.

No free lockers or internet, the free breakfast is not as good as other hostels.

Location is great, and price for location is excellent,

Don't go if you want privacy or luxury, but backpackers on a budget will enjoy staying here.

the people not friendly and helpful, kitchen much dirty, I'm really unhappy with this hostel...

I already stayed at others hostels with the same price and were 10 times better than this.

I dont recommend.

friendly staff, best location, great price, no-party people in hostel, a lot of pubs and restaurant in next street (about 50m form hostel). Clean room and toiletts.

Určitě doporučuji - milý personál, bezkonkurenční cena, v centru Londýna. Prostě je to hostel, takže žádný luxus, ale zato čistý a klidný.

Hostel was easy to find 2 minutes from the underground. Staff wasn't too knowledgeable about what to do or how to get places. Free breakfast was toast and cereal. Curtains on the beds were nice. Fairly clean.

It was a totally unpleasant stay. Toilets were dirty. At breakfast we were like 20 persons in a small kitchen, coffee instantaneous, all cutlery were of plastic just loose in a big drawer, there were no ceramic cups. The place was no more than corridors and stairs, a lounge at dining-room and a small lounge near to the reception... The only good were the curtain in every bed and free wifi...

I'm not coming back!

I really liked Smart Hyde Park Inn, the staff was helpful and very kind, the room was quite small but confortable. I think it's quite confortable because there are many services (cousin, internet, tv,...) and it's very close to metro station. The amosphere was calm and friendly so I really enjoyed it!

Staying in this hostel was very comfortable. In spite of high amount of people in very small room (16!), there were good conditions for hygiene (three shower and two WC for this room) and sleeping too - each bed was separated from othes through dark curtain. Only one window in room can make it a little hot, especially in the summer. We were here in september and there were about twenty degrees here, so we were very pleased to stay here. The staff was very friendly here, clasical breakfast (jam, butter, coffee, tee..) comfortable. Very good impression!

Staff was friendly, rooms were fine/clean. Check-in/out was OK! Very fast. I'd recommend to bring a thin! sleeping bag, because it's quite hot in the rooms (with only 1 window for 16 people).

Showers were the worst: water flow was so weak that we needed to, litterally, rub against the wall, water was warmish, and we had to wait until it flowed down so that your things would not be wet. Also, there was no shelf or smth to put yur things on. Breakfast and TV, and position were great.
