Great bed - bad shower

It was great. The only downside is the combination of the toilet and shower. They're so close to each other that there's bound to be urine crossing from the toilet floor into the shower.

My experience at Smart Hyde Park Inn Hostel was truly exceptional. The hostel's prime location in Central London was perfect for getting anywhere in the city, and the easy access to public transport made getting around a breeze. The staff at the hostel “ Monalisa, Ali and Lucrezia” were incredibly welcoming and helpful, ensuring that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were always available to provide recommendations on local attractions, restaurants, and events. The hostel's cleanliness was top-notch, with well-maintained rooms and bathrooms. The custom-built beds offered privacy and comfort, ensuring a good night's sleep after a long day. Overall, I would highly recommend Smart Hyde Park Inn Hostel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and centrally located accommodation in London. The exceptional staff and excellent facilities make it an ideal choice for budget-conscious traveler's.

I stayed in a private. It was clean, comfortable and great AC and hot water. Water heater and blow dryer as well. Loved staying here. Since we had a private, it was free to use luggage storage which is super big and digital lock code! Cooked some breakfast in the kitchen each morning. Reception was super nice and helpful. Super close to underground tube/subway. Good to know: The room is pretty small. Put your luggage under the bed to make space. You need to pay to rent a towel or bring your own. We were on the 4th floor. It was a lot of stairs. Not a con for us, but may be difficult for others especially if you have big luggage.

You will collect your own beddings when you check in at the reception, and make your bed on your own, if you stay at a mixed dormitory especially your bed is on the top floor that would be difficult for you

Wasn't sure what to expect from a hostel. Linen was clean, bed was fine if a bit small. Got unlucky with room mates - top bunk snored loudly, and when they moved the whole bed frame (including bottom bunks) shook. Shower was cramped and tiny; I didn't end up using it. It may just be that I'm not cut out for hostels though!
