Smart Hyde Park View Hostel

I’ve stayed at the Smart chain before so I knew what t to expect. It’s good value for money, dorm beds with privacy curtains and a power outlet, reading light and large locker. Was nice to have an en-suite bathroom. This location is just a tad nicer than their Hyde Park Inn location, but that one is considerably closer to the tube stations. Room was quiet and window opened to let fresh air in.

I really liked the whole place: the room was comfortable, the bed AMAZING, we had the tv in the room and the heating on everytime. They come clean the room EVERY DAY so everything was sparkling. The reception was on h24 and they were super gentle and cool to exlain everything. I also loved the room with the kitchen and the games. Also it was put near the Hyde park and in a road next to the central line and a lot of eating places so that in the evining you could stroll with a lot of other people without worry.

The classic entrance. This is making it a part of old London rather than some modern eyesore. The location was very convenient. The room was a surprise. Really cute. Excellent care in restoring the antique windows with some original features staying. Bed comfy. Sheets crisp and clean. Well designed areas to spread out my cases. The tea station was generously supplied with real milk and real tea cups. Although I mistakenly reserved it as a dorm, it was interesting to be around so many young people. I was able to change to a private room.

We traveled together with a friend, this was my second time in London. Excellent place, optimal location (train station, metro, shops and some cafes nearby); accomodating stuff (we had a late check-in around 1:00 am) amd answered in Booking quickly. Beds were quite comfortable, mattress of medium density (not too soft, not too hard), clean linens, ventilator in the room (there happened to be quite a heatwave for London). As we were mostly out sightseeing and returned usually quite late, me and my friend were absolutely satisfied with out stay. Early check-out was also fine because of the same reason.

Hostel staff were attentive and responsive. Facility was placed just a few minutes away from Hyde Park, making it an excellent location for reaching public transport and restaurants, especially Paddington Station. Ensuite showers were kept very clean and offered a bit of needed privacy. There was also access to a lift and rather large kitchen for cooking and hotdesking. Can't complain!
