Astor Kensington is a great stay for people who want to live close to all the important sights and in a beautiful neighbourhood with a lively area nearby. The rooms are sufficiently sized and ours had a sink, which was great. Towels, padlocks, and hairdryers can be borrowed. Bedsheets are nice and clean. The bunk beds are just fine, as well as the cages underneath to store your things. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly. The kitchen and lounge were a great plus as well. Although we did not join many activities, there is room to get to know the other visitors and staff. As to the Astor Kensington Team, thank you! It was lovely meeting you all, you were all so attentive and fun, it was great chatting with you! You made our stay exceptionally good! We were happy to come back to our cozy hostel after long days of walking which says it all! We would definitely recommend this hostel.
