A student hostel, this place is bustling with life. Location's very good, at the west side of London allegedly the more prestigious side (noticeable for several other high end hotels in the vicinity). Besides, tube stations are only short minutes walk away, Bayswater on the Central/District line and Qeensway on the Central line. Both stations are on major tourist lines which shall not require transiting hence saving time. Tesco extra and several other fast food restaurants are on this street, with the famous chinese restaurants Four Season and Gold Mine here makes this area even more 'strategic'.
Room condition was nothing much to shout about, as I lived in the 16 bedroom dorm with my friends, and toilet as previously commented is the pitfall. Compensated by the lucrative rates, the whole scenario is mitigated.
