The hotel room is okay, but the night receptionist that we met was very unfriendly, I drove a hire car and ask for parking space, and was quoted 25GBP to park in the hotel's small garage, to enter the garage, I have to drive down to basement through 2 doors which the receptionist hold one of the door key, and the other was automatically open, but to get out, you have to press a button. On 2nd time that I wanted to drive to the garage, I was told by the receptionist that the 2nd door was already opened, and so she didn't give me the key, but when I drove to the garage, the door was not opened, so I was stuck between the two doors, there was no intercom at the entry, thus I have to reverse my car, and while I was reversing, the automatic door closed on my car, causing the side liner to come off the car, oh, what a bad experience that I had. I will like to warn any person against parking at the garage especially with the high parking charges. There were ample public parking spaces in front of the hotel. All the poor ratings that I gave were due to the night receptionist who was very unfriendly and not helpful.

i have stayed at bp house on several occasions over the last 10 years and this has probably been the worst stay of all. the breakfast which used to be free and good is now just a load of rubbish and not worth the extra expense. It also took 3 days for us to get a remote control for the tv unit. on a positive not the girls on the front desk were most helpful and polite.

Family with 3 adults and two youngs (15 and 11 years old). We stay in a nice and clean room with 8 beds (4 bunk beds), an small table, Tv and with an small bathroom (useful and clean but all in the minimum surface you can imagine) Ask for the Baden Powell House, not for the Meininger City Hotel (nobody knows this name). Good breakfasts and friendly staff

The best you can expect for this price in London. Not luxury but we were there only to sleep. We had a 4 beds bedroom (we were 3)large enough. Carpet not very clean. A very thiny bathroom (kind of plastic cupboard). Breakfast not included (3,50 GBP) in a very noisy place. I think I've become a little bit too old for this kind of accomodation (we are 48 :-). Not really the best after a day of shopping... I need a little bit more of luxury. But this is pezrfect for younger people and groups.

We are a familiy of five (kids 6,9,10) from Norway. We got a room with 8 beds so there were not much free space in the room. We found it clean and practical for our use. it was a BED room, and nothing else. Very close to intereseting museums and tube station (circle line). Just a walk away from Harrods. We took the sightseeing bus just around the corner. We would be pleased to come back.

Very well situated. Toilette minimous, just like in a plane. It´s OK but not a HOTEL, it´s a hostel for teen´s and scouts, nothing like spanish´s

there wasn`t any interaccion with staff. All of them were young and not very professional, just correct. The best thing is the location, oposite the Natural History Museum and close to tube station. Rooms are big enough, full with four berth and the bathroom is tiny and no hairdryer, you have to pay extra money if you ask for one. Breakfast is ok. I think it is good enough to be a hostel but a bit overpriced as hotel.

Liked the Hostel. The only thing that I was disappointed off was, that they did put me into a hotel across the street - without notice in advance. Had booked myself into the Hostel because a friend of mine was staying there with a group. Staid there the second night. But thought it was not too nice to not even ask me before not offering me a room at the Hostel. Cannot recommend the Hotel across the street!!

It's a really nice hostel near Kensington Gardens in London and we (3 adults, 1 child)enjoyed our stay there. There is a bus stop next to the hostel and it takes you abot 15 minutes to get into the city by bus! There is also a underground station (South Kensington) near the hostel. The breakfast is also very good... We wil come back!

Vorrei segnalare la mia soddisfazione per la piacevole scoperta. Siamo stati benissimo, la stanza è stata confortevole e spaziosa, forse il bagno un po piccolino ma i miei tre bambini mia moglie ed io abbiamo trascorso un ottimo soggiorno. Lo consiglio a chi vuole trascorrere un soggiorno essenziale ma confortevole, ideale per chi ama dedicarsi alla scoperta della città. Dimenticavo l'ostello è situato in uno splendido quartiere centrale e tranquillo, ed non ha nulla da invidiare ad un albergo.

Hotel Ubication is very easy, because in a few minutes of Tube you can arrive in London City and all major attractions. Rooms are poor but cleaned the first day. During the day spent there (5 days) none clean the room, just the rubbish and none change the bathroom towels. Inside side rooms are quite, externe side room not quite because street traffic. Breakfast is English, not biscuits, cake and hot milk. But quality good.

Very family friendly hotel. Nice with all the Scouts. Breakfast room light and has a nice view. Breakfast buffet simple but good. Nice quiet area, close to underground/bus. Within walking distance to many attractions, such as Hyde Park, Harrods, museums etc. On the downside: Very small bathroom. Shower curtain too short (wet floor). No drinking water in the room, but OK since there was a water fountain in the corridor. TV remote was missing. Overall we had a very pleasant stay.

It's Scout House so it's full of noisy kids, and adults feel a bit out of place and no alcohol allowed in rooms. (These kids possibly give this place its high rating!). The "ensuite" single room was just like a tiny student dorm with single bed and a cavernous disabled bathroom attached. TV pretty useless. Nonetheless good location (Gloucester Rd tube station - though watch for massive queues for tickets in the morning).

I booked a single room and was given hostel room - which makes the rating scheme usless.. because it was a hostel room 2 bunks 2 beds and shower toilet module and not a room with ensuite as they had run out. Other than that it was clean and a bed for the night, good breakfast canteen, good location.

Somos una familia de 5 personas (3 niños) y nos dieron una Ensuite room... La calidad del servicio fuè excelente, desde la bienvenida en la recepcion, siempre con gente joven y cordial, hasta la limpieza de la habitacion... Ah, y ni hablar del desayuno: "all you can eat" excelente para empezar una jornada turistica con las baterias bien cargadas.... Sencillamente un buen hotel comparado con tantas otras estructuras en Londres que por el mismo precio ofrecen mucho menos... Recomendado al 100%... Siamo una famiglia di 5 persone (3 bambini), quindi ci hanno dato una ensuite room... POsso dire che la qualità del albergo fu eccellente... Dalla accoglienza nella reception, sempre gestita da persone giovani e cortese, fino la pulizia delle camere... La colazione: Magistrale! con un "all you can eat", giusto per iniziare una giornata di turismo con le batterie belle cariche. Senza piu parole: un buonissimo albergo. Altre strutture a Londra allo stesso prezzo non offrono tanti servizi come questo albergo, senza lasciare fuori la qualità... Raccomandato al 100%

Family with 2 older children (16 and 19) for 6 nights staying. Very nice hostel, well located, nearby the National and Science museum and the South Kensington underground station (10 mins walk). Our room was large and quite - only the bathroom is relatively small. The breakfast included in the price :-) was good. All in all, it is an excellent choise for people not looking for high rated hotel. I would certainly go again in case of a further visit to London.

The welcoming offered by the staff were nice. However, there was a little problem about the room arrangement on our first day. They sorted out quickly on the second day and they offered a reasonable reduction of price because of that. The rooms were clean, yet you need to make bed by yourself for the upper bed. The breakfast were great as well. A cozy and comfortable hsotel.
