Astor Museum

I stayed at the hostel about a week ago and have to say that I really enjoyed my time there. The facilities were good and the hostel seemed to be run in a very efficient way. The staff were really helpful- I mainly dealt with the english receptionist who was very friendly. I would definately recommend this hostel to anyone who is looking for a great location to stay in. I would be sure to stay here again when travelling back through London.

Nice Staff. Big breakfast included. Rooms are large and spacious (at least in 10 bed mixed dorm). Good location: right beside the British Museum; supermarket and underground nearby; within walkable distance to Leicester Square/ Convent Garden....The neighborhood is safe and quiet also. ISIC cardholders are applicable to a 10% off discount .

But, the kitchen is a bit small with limited number of seats and there is not much space to explore and hang around within the hostel. Only a session of 40-minute free wifi is given to each guest in each stay. There are only 1-2 shared bathrooms in each floor (since there are only 1-2 rooms in each floor, it is not a big problem though~)

Astor's Museum Inn will be the place if you're looking for some not-so-expensive accommodation with good location. Just don't expect too much--its price is reasonable for what you are going to get.

I stayed in a private 2 bed room with my sister on this trip. The staff during our stay was excellent and very helpful. We each got a free 40 minute internet card with 2 computers available to use. We had to stay in the separate building a few blocks away. Our bathroom was down a flight of stairs and the free breakfast was held in the main building (2 cereals, oatmeal, bread, jams and spreads, milk, and meat and cheese slices). The location is excellent. The reason I give it such a low rating is partly because we had a mouse in our room. In all fairness, there is a rule against food in the rooms, but I had forgotten there was food in my bag as we were exhausted after our plane flight. I hated the room because it was rather depressing and looked out onto a ledge of beer bottles and cigarette butts. Our fellow hostellers were quite noisy and the slamming of doors can be heard throughout the night (although this fact is true at Astor Quest and Victoria, as well). The floors are also rather squeaky. My sister and I stayed in three other Astor hostels and this was the worst. I liked the free internet access the best and the mouse the least.
