Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The man who checked us in, was a nice fella. Beds were pretty comfy.
Check out time is a bit early but not the end of the world
Fabulous central and safe location, spacious rooms, excellent to have self catering kitchen (kept in very a reasonable state considering the huge people flow). Showers hot and plentiful, with very good pressure. Mattresses comfy and room very clean. Some staff extremely helpful/ above and beyond (Jaye: thank you very much). Breakfast was great value (as was the entire stay).
Initial welcome was flat, minimal eye contact: didn’t inform me of facilities/orientation: had to ask to speak up as was talking to computer screen not to me. Not very welcoming. Most other staff were functional vs personable.
Lokalita, cena
Raňajky, len suchý bufet, poschodové vŕzgajúce postele a gumené matrace, okna sa nedali zavrieť, hluk pred 6, na wc hlučne susice rúk, ktoré počuť až do izby, ako keby vedľa v miestnosti niekto vysaval. Samozatvaracie dvere, ktoré tiež búchali od rana
Great location, just a few minutes walk to the tube. Really nice staff. Nice kitchen. The Wi-Fi was weak in my room.
Not stayed with YHA for nearly 20 years, but it was excellent value for money and met my needs exactly (a good nights sleep before Thames Path Ultra)
値段が安いこととシートが清潔だったこと。受付の人が親切だったこと。
シャワーが足りないと感じる場面があった。
Garden to sit and have breakfast. Big kitchen with all utensils needed. Shower & shared bathroom was good. Quiet area and surroundings.
Sink in the room did not work properly. In-room window did not close completely. Garbage was not emptied upon arrival.
The staff is wonderful, and they will help you with whatever you need. It is affordable, and the location is wonderful. The tube station is very close, and it connects easily with different lines. There are bus stations nearby if you prefer. I loved having a kitchen available to guests. There are many bathrooms and showers. I would stay there again. Thank you so much. You've been very kind, and I had a great time in London, partly because I felt comfortable at the YHA Earl's Court and the area.
I know for a fact that they clean the bathrooms, in the morning, but I'm not sure what happens in the afternoon. I think they must be cleaned twice. Maybe add some more signs so that guests think of others when using the bathrooms.
YHA London Earl's Court is ideaal gelegen in een rustige straat op wandelafstand van winkels en de ondergrondse. Het gebouw is ouder, maar gezellig en netjes. De bedden en kamers zijn basic, maar comfortabel. Er zijn voldoende gedeelde badkamers en toiletten beschikbaar die dagelijks worden schoongemaakt. De keuken en ontspanningsruimten zijn gezellig om even uit te rusten tussen de uitstappen door. Er is steeds personeel aanwezig en wij hadden bij iedereen een aangename indruk. Wij raden deze accomodatie sterk aan als budgetverblijf in Londen!
Het gebouw is wat ouder dus er is geen geluidsisolatie tussen de kamers en de douches. Wij hadden net een kamer naast de gemeenschappelijk badkamers, op zich viel de geluidsoverlast van douche en toilet goed mee maar de handendrogers zijn erg luid en dat hoorde je fel in de kamer. Voor een drie-persoonskamer misten wij bijkomende haakjes, hier was nochtans voldoende plaats voor. Ook een plankje bij de wasbak op de kamer zou nog handig zijn, nu is er zo goed als geen plaats om iets van toiletgerief neer te zetten. Een extra plank in de reeds aanwezige kast zou ook handig zijn. Allemaal details, want wij hebben genoten van ons verblijf.
Loved the location in Earls Court. John and Shafiq night staff were so friendly and morning staff.2 Bedding really clean and bathroom facilitied spotless. Cant wait to visit to do Christmas Shopping. It was 11 years since i been to London staff here made it wonderful visit Also could leave luggage which was fab.
As a " mature 'disabled YHA member no lifts but staff helped me with luggage and i got ground bunk bed.
Accessible clean good facilities
入住前以为和其他青年旅舍一样人员混杂,到了才发现如此意外,英式居民楼内分区的房间,公用洗漱非常方便且私密。整体很干净,而且幸运的是,同房间仅有一位英国大龄绅士,去过中国,非常友好。隔壁房间的法国女孩也很阳光热情。
Отличное расположение и достаточно приветливый персонал
Когда я обнаружила, что розетка и лампа у моей кровати не работают, я пошла на ресепшен чтобы сообщить об этом. Сотрудник принял жалобу и сказал I'll be there, но так и не пришел и ничего не посмотрел и не починил. Я понимаю, что это был поздний вечер, но можно было бы тогда сказать, что сейчас нет возможности что-то сделать. В итоге я сидела на полу у розетки и заряжала телефон. Также очень не хватает шторок на кроватях. Некоторые соседки были шумными и всю ночь ворочались, в итоге я совсем не выспалась перед ранним подъемом в аэропорт. Думаю, что шторки все равно дают некоторую звукоизоляцию и приватность. В целом, для одной ночи это неплохой вариант.

Auberge idéalement située, proche du métro dans un quartier calme et sympathique Buffet du petit déjeuner bien garni
Certains résidents un peu bruyants en soirée
Das nette Personal und die junge Dame die dort volunteered hat
Die allgemeine Sauberkeit war teils nicht vorhanden, Zimmer waren ok aber manche haben nach Füßen gemüffelt
Good location and clean
Noisy. Cleaning in morning between 0700 and 0900.
That what was happened and happen again. Untimely towards great feeling for all the YHA STAFF. L.+L.

I really enjoy my stay definitely I am return I love it amazing everything perfect
Customer service is great
Staff amazing and very friendly and proficient Hostel to enjoy alone, with friends and with kids(schools, families...) Very clean Big areas to relax, lounge and garden, kitchen big, near the station, near the museum and central London...
The internet connection is sometimes lost in the room and in the kitchen
Well-mannered staff and good options for public transit. Private sink in double's room. Water refill stations and multiple bathrooms. Public garden space! Location is clean and in a pleasant neighborhood.
A/C is only available in reception room and room's window opens about 4 inches. Bring your own towel. Just enough floor space for two full size suitcases. I've slept on plusher camping pads than the provided mattress.
Clean and comfortable in a great location
Il personale è stato molto gentile ed attento a tutte le nostre richieste.
Nulla
Location, the environment felt great, big backyard. Great living room and staff and kitchen for you to cook.
The Locations
The Toilet always Wet and smell Urine..
L’emplacement et les installations sont bien.
Dans la chambre, la fenêtre ne s’ouvre que de 10cm, elle est bloqué par des fisse à 6 pans, quand il fait chaud, trés trés chaud, c’est impossible de refroidir la pièce malgré un gros ventilateur, il ne fait que brasser de l’air chaud. Ils mettent en avant la sécurité. Ils devrait mettre des grilles au Fenetre dans c’est cas la.
Clean, airy, fan as the hottest day of the year
Nothing
Konum çok çok iyi
Odalarda sadece 1 tane fan var ve yerde duruyor, hiç işe yaramıyor ayrıca fan çok pisti ve üstünde böcek vardı. Odalarda wc yok tüm kattaki odalarla (kadın ve erkek ortak) aynı tuvaleti ve duşu kullanıyorsun. Kişi sayısına göre tuvalet ve duş sayısı çok az. Lavabolar çok küçük. Odadaki yatağımın başında açık bir lavabo vardı ve sürekli kullandıkları için çok rahatsız ediciydi.
This clean
there is so hot summer in London.but this hostel only provide one small fan for 6 bed dormitory..this is horrible experience..I will not recommended anyone for hot summer for this Hostel
Good location, 24 hour reception.
Pictures looked much nicer than the reality. The room was quite hot, especially since I stayed in the basement. I chose this hostel because it was supposed to be better than the cheaper options, but honestly, I didn’t notice much of a difference.
La zona es estupenda, el hostal está cerca de una parada de metro y un súper. La habitación era bastante amplia, las zonas comunes estaban muy limpias, la cocina compartida era grande y tiene un patio con mesas fuera.
Que en la habitación hacía bastante calor aunque había un ventilador, pero eso ya sabemos que no depende del hostal, este verano está siendo duro en UK.
La gentillesse du personnel, la qualité de leur service notamment: Luggage storage.
L'impossibilité d'aérer la chambre car la fenêtre était fixée à un minimum d'ouverture. La chaleur des chambres..des nuits difficiles avec la vague de chaleur.
The staff and cleanliness and location all superb especially the courtyard for eating breakfast
Fan in room instead of air conditioning but understandable still very good fan!
Clean and comfortable
El barrio es precioso, el edificio antiguo muy bonito, el personal súper amable, el desayuno muy bien calidad precio.
Un poco ruidosa la habitación que daba al exterior.
not too far from the city centre, staff was very friendly and helpful, bathrooms and showers were clean enough, decent price
the building needs some renovation, there’s no ac in the rooms, windows cant be opened fully, no privacy curtains in the bunk beds, also not quite a youth hostel when you have pensioners staying with you but its whatever i guess, also one guy was butt naked walking in the room
Everything
Sehr gute Lage in Earls Court. Auch wenn es wie eine Jugendherberge einfach eingerichtet war, war es sauber
Das Zimmer war jetzt im Sommer sehr heiß. Ich habe mit meiner Familie nur mit Unterhose in dem Zimmer geschlafen. Das Perfonal hatte zum Glück einen Ventilator ins Zimmer gestellt, der nachts natürlich auch sehr laut war. Ich werde zukünftig stärker auf klimatisierte Buchungen achten.
One of the better hostels I've stayed at in London.
Checkout could be 11 instead of 10.
Accueil chaleureux, chambre très bien et bon emplacement

Emplacement dans Londres central. Check in tardif. Grand casier pour les affaires.
Ça reste cher mais c'est Londres. Salle de bain qui est pour l'étage. Ventilo bruyant la nuit.
L'accueil du personnel est soigné et prévenant. La chambre et les sanitaires sont bien entretenus Le confort est standard correspondant à celui d'une auberge de jeunesse.
Nous avons juste été gênés par l'arrivée peu discrète de voyageurs en pleine nuit.
Paslaugus personalas, puiki vieta.
Šiek tiek mažokai vietos kai kuriuose tualetuose. Bet kadangi jų keli, tai galima pasirinkti kitą.
Clean and lovely friendly staff
A little noisy in morning with kids running about, lovely and quiet in evening though.
The garden to eat.
The fact it doesn’t have air conditioning, it made it almost impossible to stay there.
Klidná lokalita, blízko do centra, pěkný dvorek s posezením.
Nešlo otevřít okna, na pokoji bylo nesnesitelné horko, velmi základní vybavení pokoje
Everything is perfect I can't complan
The room was very warm, needs better air circulation
Always fab.
Too hot.
My granddaughter said so cosy and welcoming. Thank you so.much. shall come again and again.
Las instalaciones muy completas, incluso con un patio exterior para cenar o pasar el rato. Muchos baños y duchas, sin problema para compartirlos.
Staff very friendly, nice facilities and great location
Kitchen door left open to the garden which is great for creating an atmosphere but not ideal with garden creatures around.
I always use to stay there but they declined a lot
Was rubbish around my bed in the single room
A localização é muito boa pois está perto de várias estações de metro, bus e a curtas distâncias a pé de vários locais. Todos os funcionários foram de uma simpatia extraordinária, estando sempre disponiveis a atender as solicitudes que apresentamos.
Boa localização, funcionários muito simpáticos. Cama confortável e quarto limpos.
O quarto estava extremamente quente. Pouca ventilação e apenas 1 ventilador portátil para todo o quarto. Creio que o hostel é mais indicado para o Inverno e não para o Verão.
Great location for accessing train lines and connections. Lovely vibe. Room was as expected for great value..
Clean, friendly staff, good facilities.
Bit warm on the top floor.
Prachtig oud gebouw, hele aardige medewerkers en de tuinkamers liggen echt geweldig!
Het was 30 graden in Londen, gelukkig stond er een hele sterke ventilator, maar met de deur dicht werd het toch te heet in de kamer met 4 personen
Location, staff, buildings, garden.
Some of the toilet rooms are far too small.
I really like YHA Earl’s Court because it’s budget-friendly and in a very convenient location. It’s just a short walk to Earl’s Court Underground station, where you can get direct trains to central London, including Westminster. I also love that the four-person room comes with two en-suite bathrooms, which makes sharing much more comfortable.
What I didn’t like was that the kitchen is quite small, with only two tables inside. You can eat in the backyard, though, which is a nice alternative when the weather is good. Between Earl’s Court Underground station and the hostel, there is M&S Food but no tesco express/sainsbury/lidl/morrison. Also, unlike some hostels, there were hardly any shared pantry items like salt, spices, or cooking oil. So if you plan to cook, it’s best to bring or buy everything you need yourself.
The location is absolutely amazing. Located in a posh area but very affordable. I loved that I could walk to high street fashion shops and feel safe. The location is excellent. The staff are exceptional. At the reception you meet kind, lovely and lively personalities which is an indication that you’re welcome. Generally the location is excellent, close to the Kensington park as well as the castle. I lived in London many years ago and I’d never been to the British natural museum which is a walking distance from Earls Court. I enjoyed my short stay in London. I know I have a home in Earl’s Court.
Nothing
Convenient for my purposes; outdoor garden; generally well maintained; courteous staff; clean; very safe and secure; clean kitchen.
The communal toilet and washroom areas need to be checked more regularly as guests fail to flush or clean up after themselves.
The staff is patient, kind and helpful . Location is great. The kitchen is helpful to make breakfast.
Possibly the organization may refurbish the place at some point.
C'est ma 2 expériences dans cette auberge et je compte revenir personnel au top souriant serviable .... Propre très bien situé dans les beaux et chics quartiers de Londres pas loins du métro et des musees le top dans tous les cas moi Londres c'est ma vie alors j'aime tout dans cette ville
I highly recommend this establishment. The establishment is listed as a dormitory/ hostel space but guests can actually book private rooms at a very decent price. The private rooms are large and clean and the bed linens are spotlessly white. And for a small fee guests can get toiletries such as bath towels and soap etc. The room was equipped with a sink and running water as well as a fan, which was very needed while London was experiencing a scorching summer with 30 degree celsius weather. Before I booked my room I was concerned about the shared bathroom facilities. But it turned out each floor had several impeccably clean private bathrooms ( meaning there were no gym type shower stalls ) so there was no queuing or inconvenience. In fact I did not encounter other guests on my floor. Overall I highly recommend this facility. In fact I left another more expensive hotel in the same area because those facilities were awful and not satisfactory. Had I known I would have booked the YHA London Earl's Court from the start.
If guests require somewhere to leave their luggage, the facility has a space for storing luggage but it is communal and therefore less secure.
The room was quite decent for its price. It had the basics. Comfortable beds overall, shared bathroom that was clean. It was in a basement though but had natural lighting. Was also quite quiet
Small room space management was uncomfortable. The sink of the bathroom was tiny, you could barely wash your hands.
I liked the friendly staff, it was clean and we felt safe.
There are many stairs and no lift which, can be a problem if lifting luggage is difficult.
Great staff and outdoor area.
The location is great. Much quieter and cleaner than other London hostels. Reasonable price for London. Helpful staff.
Staying there during hot weather is unbearable — one has to be able to open the windows more and/or doors at night to allow cool air in the room. The fan is not enough given the number of people staying in the room. You need to do better.
Good location ,reception is nice and friendly 。kichen is clean and have spacious backyard .supply hot water is very convenient !
Everything is ok
Staff were super friendly and helped us move rooms as my mum couldn't manage the stairs, clean place great loaction
Room was stupidly hot there was a fan but it was loud and we couldn't get the window to stay all the way open
周围环境很优美,员工态度也非常好
- great location, safe neighborhood, easily reachable by public transportation - comfortable bed, big room, plug at every bed - clean bathrooms across the hallway - lovely staff, I even got to store my luggage at the property for a few more hours after check-out!
- it was very hot during my stay and unfortunately (probably for safety reasons) the windows only opened a few centimeters; we had one fan in the room but that didn’t do much given the room size so it was very hot at night
Es hat eine gute Lage und das einchecken lief reibungslos
Es war verdammt warm im Zimmer und man konnte kein Fenster öffnen
Clean functional as described
Le rapport qualité prix et l’emplacement
Le problème d’un dortoir c’est de tomber sur des personnes qui ne respectent pas les autres….
Ross.Australia. Senior traveller.. Location is very good. ..Easy acess to tube & city. Very walkable area in a safe neighborhood. Staff were friendly obliging & helpful. Very pleasant people. Room was spacious even with 8 beds . Sheets & pillows crisp & clean. Were lounge & kitchen areass if needed.
Only winge was the lack of hooks in the bathroom. Just a small detail but 2 larger hooks be of practical benefit .. Was nowhere to drape clothes or towel as the shower glass screen goes to the ceiling. But really just a minor detail. Would easily stay again..
This is my go to hostel every time I’m in London. Staff are always lovely and rooms comfortable.
Nice location , pleasant and friendly staff.
There was someone in my bed when I arrived
I stayed there three nights but barely spent any time in the hostel since I was in London for music gigs and spent my entire stay at the venue except for sleeping and showering. For this reason I can't comment on much, but I can say the staff was extremely nice and friendly, even as I lost my key on the last day (a new one was made for me no questions asked). The showers and toilet were clean and the dorms had lockers.
The room was extremely hot and the fan sooo loud but not effective. Also still can't believe that in 2026 there are still hostels without privacy curtains around the beds... Finally, even though they were clean, the showers had nowhere to keep your clothes dry while you showered, which is something else I can't believe is still happening in hostels!
Great value for money. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and one of the biggest positives was the hygiene standards of the washrooms, which were regularly cleaned. Overall, a comfortable and pleasant stay with good cleanliness throughout the property.
Just a suggestion: I’m not sure if this is already available, but it would be great to have a dedicated drying room or space where guests can dry their hand-washed clothes.
ベッドもトイレもシャワーも綺麗でした!
エアコンは無さそうだったので、熱波の日はキツそう。涼しい日だったので何の不満もありません。
Location and facilities. Staff were great too.
Room was very hot... But not unexpected.
Czystość, lokalizacja, obsługa, części wspólne
Bez uwag
Reasonable distance from work. They have clean showers.
I didn't like being in one room on the 2nd floor first day and then in the basement the next day.
fabulous location, clean garden room, friendly helpful staff.
El mejor hostal de la zona. Excelente relación calidad-precio, instalaciones cómodas y muy buen ambiente. El personal es muy amable y profesional. Sin duda, un lugar muy recomendable.
Nice lovely place to stay easy to get around nice clean room nice clean kitchen generally you couldn't get any better
Clean comfortable and friendly
no wi-fi 😡
The location was excellent. The staff were amazing and friendly. Hot shower. Eco-conscience. I didn't use all of the facilities but I liked that they had them available. I would stay again as a solo traveler.
The room was a bit warm. It would have been nice if there were curtains on the bunks. Metal bunk beds are always squeakier. But the pros far outweighed the cons.
Ce que j'ai le plus aimé c'est vraiment la localisation, on accède très facilement et rapidement au centre de Londres, le quartier est également très sympas! J'ai aimé aussi la cuisine partagée
Les chambres sont très mal insonorisées, donc on entend les voisins de chambres, et les rentrées nocturnes des fétards, bref si vous avez le sommeil léger, il faut éviter. Egalement les chambres méritent d'être raffraichies et avec un gros nettoyage aussi, si vous êtes allergique aux acariens, ne regardez pas l'état de la moquette et toute la poussière sous le lit...
Le personnel est très gentil et aidant
Le bruit ! C’était infernal jusqu’à 3h du matin … des allées venues incessantes des cris des rires …. les jeunes font du bruit toute la nuit
