Park Villa Boutique Hostel, London

the location is great

the beds weren’t very comfortable and all the showers i used had drainage problems so i’d be standing ankle deep in water

Excellent staff, comfortable beds, clean facilities

Nothing

they gave free adaptor and locks which is really great because nowadays hostels charge for that.

very far from main attractions of London breakfast is very simple but also cheap.

The hostel is clean and the location is great. The staff are all nice and accomodating especially Ali who gladly change my room to a more convenient one.

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!

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.

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.

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

Good hostel fooms were clean.

Hallways could do with an upgrade.

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.

Great location for All Points East Festival. Helpful staff and they have locks (offered for free which is rare) for lockers to store your belongings.

The staffs are friendly, breakfast at £3., clean, as promised there is a parking for my motorbike. Nice location, short distance to town. Welcoming with smiling face. Good WiFi. The locker to keep belongings is beautifully designed. And there is bottom cabinet too. Very nice

Clean. Friendly staff. Designated areas for chilling out at and eating.

Room was a bit stuffy. Could use some fresh air

The staff were great, and the location is very handy so close to Mile End tube and some supermarkets, cafes and kebab places. The beds are nice enough, though some small issues (see below). I arrived late for 1 night and left early the next morning, and it worked well for that especially given the location.

The bed was mostly very good, with a combined plug and cupboard for keeping vaulables/charging phone at night, also with a hole for a cord to come out - nice touch. Good lockers provided too, with no nonsense fee for using a lock. However, the bed wasn't pushed against the wall, so there was the risk of things falling down the side onto others below! An easy fix. The bathroom was fine but cramped and in need of better tidying - not dirty, but needs clutter removed.

Convenient location, showers and kitchen were regularly cleaned and communal area for eating and laptoping.

A lot of rules, posters like threats 😂. But I guess that's understandable with how many people are staying in the building. The receptionist is clearly a bouncer somewhere or was, and anything you forget they charge you for, which I imagine is pretty standard but just a heads up. Oh - I had a constant feeling or not being clean though, because of nine of us sleeping in one room, I sweated through by PJ's most nights, near the end I was starting to get the impression that there was mould somewhere in the room but in a place that couldn't be cleaned or something, everything constantly smelled damp and I don't usually shower everyday but I felt I had to because I couldn't work out if it was me or not. Also, the plug sockets and every bed - which is good, but you can hear the whirring through the night and (I was top bunk) I could see down the back of the bed to all the extension plugs plugged into the wall, there's no way that's fire safe, nine bed plugs to two wall sockets (I could only see one side of the room so I'm guessing the total). Felt worrying in the brain back burner but overall I didn't feel unsafe for my personal safety etc

Common baths very clean, kitchen available( cleanliness depends on guests…),breakfast worth the price . Room ,private bath and linen perfect. Not really central but tube and busses very convenient

Staff was very friendly and attentive, I’ll give 5 stars just for their attitude. The room and the bathrooms were very clean .

May need one more fan for the room. The location is not the greatest.

This hostel has a nice, calm environment and affordable breakfast. beds are equipped with one large locker near the floor and one as a console on the bed itself. It seems like the bunks were custom made.

Beds don't have railings on all sides. Using the laundry machine is only possible if you have exact change in specific coins. Though the tube is close, it still takes a long while to get to most places in the city.

Friendly staff, clean beds, safe storing of property provided free of charge.

Gets very warm in the room when outside temperatures are high, no AC and fans were not very helpful.

Located approximately 6 minute walk from Mile End Underground Station

......................

The staffs are friendly

The WIFI is not very stable

Comfortable bed, clean environment, silent guests, cheap breakfast, excellent location near the underground and the bus stop to Stansted. Helpful staff.

Toilets may use some renovation

the Staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly and helpful. The location is superb near Mile End tube station and a bus stop right outside the property. Plenty of supermarkets, cafes, restaurants nearby. Top bunk pretty comfortable and linens clean. I like also that they have space to lock away your belongings and give padlock and converter plug at no extra charge. I will stay here again.

I think it could be cleaner, the cleanliness in the common areas was ok/good, but it should be excellent in my opinion.

Fantastic value for money in a great location. Kitchen was great. Parking was also fantastic.

Bathroom felt a little basic but no complaints

good location great staff and very accommodating. in room bathroom is great.
