The Court Hostel Reviews - London

This was the first hostel I was staying in, as part of my backpacker trip in the UK. I stayed for 2 nights - 13th and 14th nights. I liked the place. Very quiet area, stone's throw from the Earl's Court tube and filled with tons of Aussies and Kiwis - all v friendly and all. Nice atmosphere.

Only -ves I have against this place (mind, lovely place, but in comparison to YHA St. Pancras) are that there was some kind of stale smell in the rooms, the rooms need better ventilation. And somehow the website seemed very misleading to me (or mabye b'cos it's my 1st time in a backpacker's hostel?). Things like "safe provided to keep your things securely" whilst all that was provided to me was the safe and not the keys. Thank God I'd brought my own.

Also the concept of shared bathrooms for the floor isnt such a good idea. The bathrooms arent that well maintained too. One of the bathrooms was leaking and the whole area was wet as a result.

But very nice overall, had a good time and I will definitely be back!
