Astor Museum Hostel Lodging Business in London

   Stayed for five nights and had a great time! For a hostel it was quite clean, people were quite respectful too. i made some good friends and joined in on group activities and had so much fun! The showers dont have any shelves or baskets or ledges to set your toiletries, so make sure you have a bag of some sort since there are 2 hooks on the walls. storage baskets were a tad noisey but i had no issues since my roommates and i were all considerate with our noise and we all woke up/slept around the same time. staff are super friendly and anthony took a group of us out to a pub! location is right in central which was really nice. overall it was my first hostel experience, im a big germaphobe and managed just fine so would definitely recommend!

   Absolutely wonderful experience at the hostel. Location is as good as it gets, the rates were super affordable and the staff is the most lovely and welcoming I’ve ever found. The kitchen and lounge areas are a nice plus! Free luggage storage too!! Big shoutout to Aitor and Collin for being super helpful and lovely all the way through, will definitely stay again!!

   This hostel is more than suitable for a short stay with good transport access. I stayed 4 nights in a 4-bed female dorm, and while it’s not the nicest one I’ve been to, it provided me with the bare minimum of a clean bed to rest my head. Additionally, having a basin with a soap dispenser in my room was very convenient as I didn’t have to worry about waiting to use a sink in the communal bathrooms. Staff are friendly and helpful. Laundry detergent pods sold for £1 at the front desk. Bathrooms were relatively clean, but shower curtains felt a bit unhygienic. One of my biggest criticisms, however, is the laundry situation which is pretty dire, so I strongly suggest you to do your laundry elsewhere as there are only two washer-dryers and it was almost a competition to try and get your washing load in before someone else did. While not the fault of the hostel, it also didn’t help that some people wouldn’t pick up their laundry up in a timely manner so clothes would be left in the dryer for hours leaving you waiting for longer to use the machines. It’s also behind a door in a hallway that blocks access to people entering or leaving from the kitchen behind it. I’ve included a photo of it for reference as there don’t seem to be any photos on their website. Wifi was pretty patchy too and often forced me to burn up a lot of my mobile data. Power sockets near my bed didn’t work. Also no lift/elevator (like many hostels), so don’t bring any massive bags or suitcases with you unless you’re prepared to drag them up several flights of stairs if you’re assigned a top level room.

   Me and my sister felt totally safe here as young adult females. We booked an all female suite. The staff were so friendly and kind! Everything felt clean enough for a hostel, the showers had nice hot water and good water pressure. Great location right next to the British Museum and close to all the main sightseeing attractions. Would definitely come back if ever in London again!

   Really friendly staff, clean and well-maintained dorms and washrooms. The hostel location is great to explore London. It’s very close to the British Museum

   Astor Museum Inn was my first stay in London while I was searching for a permanent accomodation. The hostel had a great role in making me less homesick and more enthusiastic about the future here. The hostel is always clean and the rules are simple which keeps it a very efficient place with so many guests. The kitchen is the life of the place, I got to meet some amazing people and hear their stories, so different to mine. The staff, all of them are very professional and equally friendly. Their commitment to the hostel is quite evident because they are just a call away at all times. The hostel is right in the centre of London which makes it more appealing. I loved my stay there and I will miss the happy vibes of Astor.

1. Annie-Pier Lavallée ★☆☆☆☆

   We were in a private room on the third floor right next to the restrooms. I had terrible nights of sleep because of the noisy water pump you hear whenever someone opens the tap or takes a shower. You could also see light from the hallway through the door. There was only one toilet per floor which is not a lot. The mattress and pillow were really not comfortables. On a good note, the staff was really kind and helpful.

   Uncomfortable, poor wifi, and there is an annex several blocks away you may be placed in. Poor ventilation, forgetful staff. Do not recommend. Much better hostels elsewhere in London. Astor Museum is a scam. I booked for 7 nights, left after 3.
