I chose the Astor Hyde Park Hostel because it offered a private room, and it was only a three minutes walk from the Royal Albert Hall. The place surpassed my expectations. The staff were extremely welcoming, especially Rafa. The vibes of this hostel are so cool, everyone seemed happy and chilled. The room itself was very clean, the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of hot water with good water pressure. There was a clean towel and some hand soap in the washbasin. The room had a safe and kettle. It was also warm with an extra heater in case it was needed. The communal lounge is a great space with comfortable seating, work areas, and room to chill. There were leaflets with local information, a giant TV screen, and good WiFi connectivity.
It is also a 10 minutes walk from the Natural History and V & A museums.
