Kensal Green Backpackers Reviews

Not the best hostel as it is not the cleanest but it does the job - pay attention that it would be great to have a 10 pound with you for the key deposit. The wifi was not working.

Good links into central London and Elizabeth line. Notting Hill and Ladbroke grove close and W12 Westfield. The shops close early though about 9 pm . Have to walk 1/4 of a mile to petrol station at Wilsden junction. In this weather, 🤣 crazy. Good hostel. Warm and loads of different people from around the world.

I was not informed that there will be a 10£ cash only deposit for the key, when I arrived at 11:40pm without cash I have no choice but only their ATM, yes there is a ATM machine right by their reception, and it charge me 1.5£ to withdraw 10£.that’s how they make the money. And there was only one plug per room and my pillows and quilt smelled horrible.

The amenities were kind of hard to find even with the signs, but overall, it was a rather good stay.

The location is not that good. And they need cash for key deposit without card payment. It’s not convenient.

Excellent So they don't refund no show Need to be better for that way

The entire hostel was kept clean and I had a comfortable stay.There is a train station in front of the hostel, making it easy to get to central London.The hostel also has a fully equipped kitchen, bar, entertainment room, and above all, the smiles of the hostel staff. The quality of the customer base was impressive.

Reasonable place for spent money. So close to the Kensal Green train station.

the worst attendants I have ever seen in my life

Avoid this one! It’s less a hostel for backpackers and more a hostel for longer term residents. It was so much cheaper than anywhere else in London, so we booked it and hoped for the best. The external door has lots of signs about no knives no hoodies no *****, and you have to buzz through two doors to get in. There’s a £10 deposit for the (real) room key. Everything was very clean though!

Very near station. People are friendly as well. But the area at night is quite dangerous

It was a bad experience for me Bad smell 🤢🤢🤢

The common spaces were spacious, the rooms were kept clean, and it was very easy to use. Also, perhaps because the renovations had just been completed, the shower and toilet facilities were especially clean and very comfortable. However, the problem was that the kitchen was located at the end of the 4th floor, and it was quite a pain to reach it. Although it is far from the city, it is easy to access as it is right in front of the subway station.

There isn't really a traveler atmosphere, it's a dark place and it feels a bit dense, nothing bad really happened but I didn't like the atmosphere
