Unbeatable Prices.
Set in an opulent Victorian Terrace in Bayswater, you'd expect to pay over the odds for the stay at this hostel. In fact your stay at the community-based accommodation will cost next to nothing, which a rarity for a city like London.

All you need is the basics.
With rock bottom prices comes bare essentials - but this hasn't bothered past visitors of this no frills hostel, as long as they have a bed (for a few nights) after an eventful day in the West End.

No Connection At Top.
Past guests who stayed on the top floor at Central Hostel have difficulties receiving a Wi-Fi connection. However you will receive a good reception in the communal room on the ground floor.

Rooms Needs Revamping.
There's serious concerns regarding the conditions and cleanliness of the rooms: chipped wall paint, mold on walls, holes in the ceiling, unstable bed frames and bed bugs in linen are some of the common issues raised by visitors.
negative:
A Service Without A Smile?.
While some guests received good customer service, a considerable amount of visitors states the staff were unwelcoming and inattentive when it came to dealing with customer issues.
