Couldn’t beat the price for a private room with private bath. The bathroom was very tight, however still nice to have our own dedicated bathroom. We were on the 5th floor and it felt like a hike up the stairs as it seemed to be a floor and a half of stairs per flight, but for the price and location I’d stay again as it met our needs perfectly. ##### Sarah Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suying 23 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very friendly staff The staff here are amazing.

Our room was on the 5th floor and there wasn't an elevator available, which wasn't a dealbreaker for me, but something to bear in mind if you have mobility issues. Facilities in the room were new, shower pressure and temperature were good, but there was no extractor fan in the bathroom, so the bathroom and the room would get very steamy. I have been unlucky and my stay happened during the heatwave in London, which made being in the room practically unbearable. It would get extremely hot, and while the hostel provided a fan, it did little to nothing. Would not recommend staying here in the summer, but I'm sure in spring/autumn it will be fine. ##### Yuliia Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kasam 1 Apr 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities After staying here for 5 days, I am very confused about some of the low/poor reviews. People seem to expect 5\* hotel experiences on a hostel budget... Considering this is a hostel and the very low price, I am impressed - FAR better than I expected for such a low cost. Every hostel and dorm-share will have small issues regarding other guest behaviour and bathroom cleanliness but the staff here do everything they can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. From check-in to check-out, staff and the other guests here are so friendly and great to talk with. There is a lounge/common room and a kitchen dining area to cook and eat in. You may have to wait a little for a bathroom but not long and they are cleaned very regularly. If you expect 5\* luxury and absolute perfection, hostels may not be for you. If you expect friendly service, a comfortable bed, a cosy environment and great people - Astor is VERY highly recommended. I have absolutely no complaints regarding value for the money I paid. The staff do everything they can which is all that can be asked. I am VERY happy I chose Astor and will DEFINITELY be back on my next return to London. Thank you for having me and making my stay in London so pleasant! ##### Kasam Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zeta 29 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location and perfect for solo travelling ##### Zeta Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Olushola 21 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Yes it was easy to locate all you need nice location ##### Olushola Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig 6 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely staff, good location, close to Paddington Heathrow express. ##### Craig Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gianluca 5 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good place, I recommend it ##### Gianluca Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rawle 17 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the kitchen and dining room.

I stayed there because arrived very late the first night and knew I'd spend all day exploring London the next day & walking distance to Paddington Station to take the Heathrow Express.
