Astor Museum Hostel is a perfect base for exploring central and or even wider London. It's perfectly situated close to tube stations and all the shops and bars you could need. It's a 10 minute walk from Soho, which is the perfect place for an evening out for food and drink. The staff at Astor Museum are super friendly, they made me feel so comfortable when I arrived and are very sociable and more than happy to help you out. Sleeping was no problem, all the guests I stayed with were very respectful and the room had fans to ensure the room was cool during warm nights. For £5 you can rent a lock to secure the cages underneath your bed for your belongings, which you are refunded for when you check out. For £3 you can have breakfast provided for you in the morning. There's always a staff member around to help. Really can't recommend this place enough. I'll definitely be back
