This hostel has super friendly staff, ideal for a solo traveller as there is always someone to talk to. The kitchen facility is amazing and the lounge has Netflix and comfy couches. When I stayed we had a visit to the nearby park for a picnic and this was attended by staff and guests, a super fun evening.

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!

I stayed here from June to June. It was one of the reasons that made my best solo trip to London ever. It was the best place to stay in London. I want to sincerely appreciate the hostel employees for making me feel at ease and making new friends with fellow visitors. I will decide to stay in this hostel again if I visit London again for a longer period of time. The downside is that only two washing machines are available - one for drying and one for washing.

I really enjoyed my time here. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay than this hostel. An ideal location to travel from is not far from the tube or bus links. Situated close to all shops and restaurants within a short walk. The place is clean and tidy, and the staff is friendly. The manager was really helpful. If you want to eat breakfast, you will get free coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and juice, and they have a kitchen available for an additional 3 pounds.

I just wish you a safe and happy stay. Elisa Hogan, Adriana Ugo, Holly, and Leo make up the best team at Storkensington. I have been going there regularly and I adore the family atmosphere. Additionally, they can't do enough for guests. The hostel is always spotless and clean, and that is a credit to the staff.

Great location, right off Kensington Gardens with Bus and Subway stations two blocks away. Also at walking distance to Paddington Station. Premises are clean, staff is helpful, breakfast is cheap and sufficient.

Great priced place in a perfect location. 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.

This hostel is good for a night or two. 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. It's a very basic hostel. It's not dirty but not the cleanest. It can use some updating.

I have rented a private room with my friend, and the price and location were very good, close to verious shops and the Paddington station. 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.

It was alright. The people were very nice. The bed was clean and very comfortable surprisingly. It’s a shame the sockets weren’t working in my room. They had little wall mounted ones to charge phones with a usb but I wanted to turn on the fan.
