Fabulous
Place was very clean - staff cleaned all facilities thoroughly and daily. Staff were also super friendly and helpful - a couple happily gave me some recommendations whilst I was staying there. Rooms were fairly spacious (I was in the 4 person mixed dorm) which came with a couple of locked drawers, bedside tables and hooks to hang your clothes. Generally most travellers were respectful of sleeping times (hostel had friendly reminders posted up) so it was easy to get a good night's rest.
The room I was in got a bit smelly if we didn't open both windows during the day (though that could also have been due to one or two of the other travellers' hygiene...). It was totally fine if we did vent the room though.

Good hostel for travel & self-catering
I stayed in a 6bed girls room at the top of property I personally liked this as in other hostels you can hear guests walking over you or cleaners early in the morning. It is close to bus stops and the mile end tube station + travel is approx 25mins to Central London. The kitchen was much bigger than expected plus got space for bar stools on both sides; there was an airfryer & 2 fans to cool the room. We had single induction hobs, this meant 4 people didn't need to crowd to 1 oven + settings were easy to use - having 2 microwaves was a good idea so it wasn't over crowded in kitchen. WiFi is good everywhere but not so good in the kitchen, I preferred to be online in my dorm and signal was always good there we also had a desk and shelves for each roommate. Laundry was cheap but we had to use coins : a staff member had to help me as a coin got stuck but after this it was fine I also used their dryer and it made my clothes fully dry. If you take a bus to Stepney green they have more shops like German donner or Sainsburys in that area there is a post office plus a nice gelatto shop by bus stop - opposite here is a good Chinese takeaway shop but it's cash only. In our girls room we had an ensuite shower toilet which was convenient and it was a good size plus it had a window you can open in case it was too steamy - the other option is to go down 2 flights of stairs if it was busy I love that they had many toilet areas -there was even a small toilet room by the TV social room on the lower floor. Nearby this hostel is KFC & CO-OP and I usually don't shop in there but they had good ready meals especially vegan stuff.
the mattress was extra firm so it felt hard if you sleep on your side also there was storage under the bed but narrow so you can't fit a cabin size suitcase. At night inside dorm can be really dark yet we got 2 windows - the biggest 1 had roman blinds I think it would be nice to have venetian blinds instead so we can adjust outside light plus more privacy for when we get dressed in the daytime. Despite this hostel being on a residential street the traffic noise was quite loud even at night, there was 1 other dorm at the top and you can hear the door slam but this is normal in most hostels. The tv social room was smaller than I'm used to but it had loads of books to read

Great
Everything ok.

Amazing!
The staff was amazing. Daily cleaning keeps all facilities clean and ready to use. Well-equipped kitchen, where everyone does his dishes and then staff puts all the dishes in the dishwasher for additional disinfection. The lodge for work and socializing is quite nice and warm. Buss station in front of the door, underground station 5min walk away, amazing Victoria park 10min walk away.
During my 22-day stay, once someone removed my food from one fridge to another even though it was labelled well. Once someone ate all my vegetables. Also, room 6 (6-bed female dormitory) is near the road and is pretty noisy all day and all night, one must use earplugs.

Good location, close to rail & bus links. Good for the price, staff were friendly. Check in and out was quick and easy. Rooms were good, beds were comfy. Can't complain.

It was good to have easy access to underground station with many choices of directions of travel.
The room I was staying had shower and toilet facilities.
small siting room.

Best hostel for solo & budget travels.
The atmosphere was very much family like in the Park Villa Hostel. The small common/Tv room was a good place to connect with other residents. Free Kitchen and related equipment (Microwave oven, tea kettle, fridge, toaster etc) were available to use 24-hours. Everyone was cooperative among the staff. The small blinds at the edges of bunk beds provided extra privacy. I would definitely come back, if i got chance to visit London again.
I am used to staying in hostels. To be honest, nothing was below my expectations in this hostel.

Good Value for money
Space full bedroom. Clean bed cover. Well maintained washroom. washing machine and kitchen. Strong wifi. Good location. Affordable
Tiny share area. Dusty on top of the double decker bed. But at least the bed sheet is clean.

Good hostel for budget traveller
Good location, very close to the Mile End subway, and there are nice coffee shops nearby. Staffs are nice. If you arrive early, you can store luggage for free. The bed is comfortable and has a private socket on the bedside. All bed has curtains. There is a big mirror in the room, also a desk and chair as well as a shelf.
Nothing not like for the price paid.
11 April 2024
Conveniently located hostel. Quite boutique but clean and decent.
Near Mile End tube station, conveniently connected to District Line leading to Central London. Decent neighbourhood near Queen Mary university, daily essentials available nearby.
I lived in the twin room which is located in basement level. Can imagine that it would be stuffy and hot if it was in summer.

I needed a bed after attending a concert in the area and Park Boutique hostel met my expectations
It’s a nice hostel with comfortable beds. Bathroom was clean but a bit small
There wasn’t a lot of room in the bathroom to put your clothes while showering
21 March 2024
Good value (6-bed female only room)
Convenient location, clean room and other facilities, privacy curtains, outlet next to bed, locker under bed, lock and outlet adapter got lent for free, towel rent and unlimited exchange for 4 £.
Poor sound isolation (noise coming from the street), bed 'vibrations' when someone walks next to it (bottom bunk bed). Still would stay again, but would try another room.

Second stat at the Park Villa
My second stay, so you know already that I find this place convenient and reasonably priced. It has the feel of old-style hostels from the 90s and I like that. Still, you find mod-cons like microwave oven, fruit blender, and air-fryer in the kitchen. You can cook your own meal, store food in the refrigerators, or you can pay for breakfast in the morning. In the rooms, the bathrooms are very clean, which is what brought me back to this hostel for a second stay! WiFi signal was excellent and if you forgot to bring towels, padlocks ( for the safety box by your bed) or adaptors, you can have them lent by the Reception against a small fee.
Nothing negative to report. The area is not the most attractive in London but at this very affordable price you do not expect to be located in Chelsea, do you? I did not feel unsafe, to be honest, and I quite like the proximity with Whitechapel and the City
15 March 2024
Very good
The cleanliness
I was hoping to get the lower bunk, but I got the top bunk, that didn’t make my bathroom trips easy

Recommend for short stay if on a tight budget
Convenient location
Too many steps
8 March 2024
Mostly good but a bit confusing
Good bed, good location, like how there’s women’s only rooms good for solo traveller
The lady at the front desk must of mistook my bed as someone else’s bed as I came back to the hostel at midnight to prepare to sleep. However someone was laying down on my bed and my stuff was inside the cabinet. Very awkward having to explain to the person that the lady earlier assigned me to that bed and i had to sleep in another bed…

Highly recommended hostel, in the heart of Mile End
The property is in an excellent location in Mile End, very convenient for connections to nearby Stansted Airport. The staff was friendly and helpful. Padlock and electrical adapter offered free of charge. The towel instead is to be paid. Very clean bathroom and the room itself. The bed was very comfortable and the arrangement of the luggage compartment under the bed to be closed with the padlock and the personal locker placed next to the bed were really tactical.
The breakfast for 5 pounds was a little sparse and poor, it could perhaps have been a little more supplied with some other food, such as fruit. Perhaps the bathroom was a little cold as it is not heated inside.

Fabulous
Unfortunately the only communal places are the kitchen or the lounge room, but they don’t have any windows. The kitchen only has counters and high chairs, which doesn’t make it very cozy or comfortable. The lounge is quite small and a closed off room and therefore not really inviting.

I like how the staff was always ready to assist and help ...check in was nice and easy. Place was always nice and clean.

Perfect place to stay cheep but comfy in london
The beds are super comfy. It' was bunk but well designed with plenty of storage space. The team is lovely and super helpful.
The main complain I have is that it's WAY to hot in the rooms. I understand people want to be warm but it's too much and it impacts the sleep quality.
18 February 2024
great place to stay
Park Villa was a good place to stay in London, everyone there was friendly and answered my questions, the bed was very comfortable and squeaky-clean, the vibe there was excellent. is close to many bus stops and the Mile End underground station, the neighborhood is quiet but safe, there are a lot of parks close to the hostel (Mile End park [1 minute]- Victoria Park [15 minutes] - Olimpic Park [40 minutes] ), the area is totally walkable.
I would like if there has an special area for coworking, because nowadays the lounge room is also the coworking area, maybe an specific room with desks for working or a non-noise spaces for meetings would be wonderfull.

Nice place.
The staff was very accomodating. The room was clean and very nice. Altogheter the space was lovely.
The room was very warm over night.

Very good
I was in 4-persons room, which is not that usuall in hostels like this one. Normally you sleep with 10 other people and it is much harder to fall asleep. Wifi was also reachable in the whole building.
The bathroom could be cleaner. Toilet seat in both bathrooms should be repaired because it kept falling down. And bed sheets could be also cleaner because i had lint on mine. Other than that everything was ok.

Very nice and cosy hostel well located with friendly staff
The staff was really friendly, the house was very nice and the rooms were cosy. The kitchen had everything it needed. The location also very good and not too far from center (and very practical to go to Stansted Airport!) It was also nice to see people respected the silence rule after 22h. The lounge / living room was cosy.
The room was a little bit small, and the shower was pouring water very poorly. The only big "minus" was the heater just next to our bed and it was sooo hot and we could not regulate it at all.

Very nice people who work there
At first I was placed on one bed and the mattress was very uncomfortable with springs, but later I changed the bank bed and it was much better
24 December 2023
Very good
I loved the kitchen, it was very well organized and helpful
The shower was broken and leaked, poor water pressure, all the water flowed out at the base of the tap and practically did not reach the shower

Around the hostel there are many places to eat, many shops and many bus stops as well as a tube stop. They provide free padlocks as well as free power adapters.
I was on the top floor so whenever someone was walking you could definitely feel that someone is walking. The breakfast they offer it's not worth five pounds I will rather skip it.

Great choice if you don't mind distance from Heathrow
Very clean, bed was already made, quiet (not a party hostel). Plenty of showers (never had to wait!). Staff was nice. Lots of public transport options within walking distance.
Quite easy to get into central London (30min) but very far from Heathrow airport (this reason alone will keep me from staying here again although the place is nice). Hard to charge my phone as the adaptor didn't fit in the locker. Having the locker directly next to the bed is not very comfortable.

A comfortable stay for a honest price
The room was very clean and quite spacious for a dorm, equipped with hooks for jackets, scarves and towels and a small security box by the bed ( nothing of that kind in a more "luxurious" hostel in the area where I had stayed previously); the bathroom in the room was always clean and the shower very comfortable; the kitchen is well equipped in case you wanted to have breakfast, either provided by them ( at a very honest 3 GBP paid on the spot) or made by yourself. Hairdryers, towels, padlocks and adaptors were available at reception and promptly offered to me at check-in, in case I needed. Wifi signal was perfect at all times. Hostel not far from tube station of Mile End, which makes it easy to move around London. Bus stop right in front of hostel, which goes directly to Canary Wharf. A Co-op supermarket at a few minutes walk from the hostel.
It is such a pity that in a potentially lovely place, I found only one receptionist that was always smiling and truly welcoming ( the portuguese-speaking girl who checked me in). Refrigerators inside the kitchen need some good cleaning. Pillows very flat, not particularly comfortable. The location is still not the safest one in Whitechapel and definitely not the prettiest, compared to other areas nearby.

Great to stay!
All staff are super friendly and helpful, very prompt check-in, location is great and close to most key tourist spots, good security for luggages with padlocks provided, worth to stay and I will come back again!
Nearby traffic made loud noises and the bed has stable mattress problems…The hot tub has drainage problems as well…but overall worth to stay!

Lovely stay once again. Highly recommend.
Staff super friendly and accommodating. Breakfast VFM! Quiter than other hostels I’ve stayed at. Good location for West End etc. with nearby TUBE station. Plenty of eateries and café close by.

Great hostel
Really safe hostel for solo female travellers. The vibe is easy-going and I always meet interesting people when I stay here. Kitchen is well-stocked and toilets and other shared spaces are cleaned regularly. Very close to the tube station and located in a calm neighbourhood. Would recommend!
Most staff are really helpful and friendly, but one of the women at the reception was quite clueless and unhelpful when I had to get my second booking processed. She didn't know how to process any of my cards, even though her colleague had processed my payment for the first booking just fine only two days apart. Had to go to the ATM and withdraw cash in the end, as she had no idea what to do, and she just sat there subtly placing the blame on me, without even bothering to seek a solution or help from other staff. Would have given my stay a higher rating, if not for this negative experience.

Welcoming staff and peaceful environment
The staff is absolutely amazing and helped me a lot to solve some problems that I face in the city. The room was pretty comfortable for a hostel (silent, spacious and clean), the curtains in the bunkbed provided great privacy and cosiness, the closed shelves are very convenient and the cards to access the rooms makes me feel safer. That's not a party hostel, it's for people that look for a peaceful environment.
Unfortunately the shower in my room was not in a good shape (low water pressure and a blocked drain) so I used the other one on the hall

Hallways could do with an upgrade.

Good Stay for good price.
The hostel is located next to a bus stop and 5 min walk from the Mile End tube station (Zone2). The room is spacious and have curtain for privacy. Bed lamp and small locker with socket provided at each bed. The in-room bathroom is clean and handrub and soap is provided. Powerful shower with sustainable hot water. Equipped mini-kitchen for self-service.
Everything is good for the price in London.
