The hostel has a beautiful setting inside Holland Park, providing a tranquil atmosphere while being close to central London. However, the service can be inconsistent, with some staff members being unhelpful and the room cleanliness not meeting expectations. The value for money is decent considering the location, but communication with staff regarding room assignments could be improved.
