The location of the hostel is fantastic, with easy access to the underground station and bus stops. It is also conveniently close to the city center, making it easily accessible to all the major attractions. the hostel is situated on a high street with a variety of shops that stay open late, perfect for any last, minute essentials.
There were some cleanliness issues with the lounge room, which could have been cleaner.

We were impressed by the really good service and value for price at Astor Kensington. The staff, particularly Elliot and Josh, were really nice too make us feel welcome and ensure our stay was enjoyable. The ensuite bathroom in our room had good plumbing and a great shower with good water pressure. The breakfast options were fantastic, with milk alternative choices and a £1 donation going to charity. The hostel also offered free walking tours and luggage storage after check out. we had a nice and enjoyable stay and would highly recommend Astor Kensington.

This hostel feels like a home away from home with its welcoming staff and excellent customer service. the staff go above and beyond, making you feel like a part of the family. They also organize activities like movie nights and fun games to keep everyone entertained. the location is great, with shops and restaurants nearby, and Kensington Palace/Park right across the street.
Felt at home here, no complaints.

I had an excellent stay in a hostel near the underground. It was conveniently located to the Queensway tube station, making it easy to explore London. The hostel was also close to Hyde Park, allowing my family and I to enjoy the beautiful gardens. The staff provided phenomenal service, and the luggage storage option was a bonus. The room I booked turned out to be a private accommodation, giving us the comfort and privacy we needed.
The beddings could have been fresher, but it was not a major issue.
