Astor Museum
Juste à côté du British Museum, et entourée de stations de métro, cette auberge très centrale de 100 lits se trouve dans un hôtel particulier typique de Londres avec des chambres (mixtes) de différentes tailles. Astor's Museum Inn possède une cuisine commune et un salon avec télévision et lecteur DVD pour les soirées pantoufles, mais vous ne serez pas loin à pied de Covent Garden et du royaume des théâtres.

Hôtel pratique pour les jeunes
Avec mon ami nous avons passe trois a Londres. Par economie, j'ai choisi cet hotel car il est tres bien situe en plein coeur de Londres. Proche du British Museum et des quartiers animes (Soho, Covent Garden, China town...), le personnel se compose de personnes jeunes, forts sympathiques. L'hotel comptait surtout des jeunes entre 18 et 25 ans donc l'ambiance etait sympa.
Nous etions loges dans l'annexe de l'hotel, situee a deux minutes a pied. Certes, les chambres etaient un peu sales, sans salles de bain (mais a ce prix la a Londres c'etait normal) et les murs etaient effectivement tres minces (beaucoup d'aller et venus a tout heure, portes qui claquent, il faut s'attendre un peu a "vivre" avec les autres) mais comme nous etions toute la journee dehors et que nous ne rentrions que pour passer la nuit, ce n'etait pas genant. Le petit dejeuner etait simple, chacun preparait le sien et faisait ensuite sa vaisselle : c'etait plutot convivial et original.
Bref quelques defauts mais pour un jeune couple ou des jeunes amis qui veulent faire des economies et simplement s'amuser, l'hotel est parfait !
Not the best of choices
This last february my husband and I travelled through Europe. Of course in London we could only expect a lower quality room for the same price we payed elsewhere, so it was the only city (together with Paris) where we had to settle for a different thing (for example, a shared bathroom). Being 30 years old and not in a really "hostelling" attitude, then, we didn't quite enjoy our stay at Astor Museum Inn. First of all, we still don-t know why, we couldn't be accomodated in the actual inn so we had to sleep in another house they own. Although it was only two blocks away so you still had the great location near British Museum, you had to walk this two block distance in the mornings just to get breakfast.
We were in a third floor and the bathroom was in the underground level, so we had to travel down and up a very steep staircase just to get there. I wear contact lenses and without them are really short-sighted, so going to the bathroom at night was quite something.
The rooms were very small and the walls very thin. Next to ours was a room for 6 persons and whenever we went out of the room we had to put up with the strong smell coming out of it (the door apparently couldn't close completely), and the noise could be heard constantly though the wall.
On the good side, we had cups and an electric water boiler in the room so we could fix us tea and soup. And, of course, the location was unbeatable. So, overall, what can I say? Just that we are going back to London in two weeks and this time we'll try a B&B.
Great location
I stayed here for 6 nights as a solo traveler in one of their 4-bed female-only rooms (which I highly recommend). I was on the 4th floor, and the stairs were very steep to get to it - if I'd had a larger suitcase, I don't think I could have made it to the top. The bathrooms on my floor were clean, and the beds were more comfortable than I expected. Breakfast was typical hostel fare - bread, cereal, and coffee. One nice perk is that you get a voucher for 40 minutes of free Internet when you arrive. The location is excellent - right across the street from the British Museum and easy walking distance to 3 Tube stations.
A few problems: During the mornings, the water wouldn't reach the 4th floor because everyone else was using it. It was also incredibly noisy at times -- especially when people stumbled in drunk at 3 am.
Overall, it was a good place to stay and was what I expected.
Don't Do It - Biggest Headache Ever
This hotel was nothing but problems. Despite the location, the rooms were filthy and the bathrooms needed a good scrub. The kitchen was tiny, you barely had room to move around and there were never enough tables & chairs.
To make things worse - the security was lacking. Quite a few of our personal items were stolen from our room. Even the police told off the manager for the pathetic locks they had installed, but she didn't seem to care.
The staff were more interested in partying than providing a service and weren't exactly helpful when we told them we were robbed.
I've stayed in my fair share of hostels throughout Europe, US and Australia and this is definitely one of the worst ones.
Very good!
Astor had huge bedrooms, a kitchen that you use to cook, a frig to store food, a free, excellent breakfast, and a very friendly staff. The bathrooms were ok. It was right behind the British Museum, and was close to several grocery stores and tubes. A very good value.
