Harlow International Hostel

Customer service is amazing. I just booked in not realising it was a hostal. I suffer from mental health and anxiety from trauma in the past. So being in a room with other men made me very anxious. I spoke to a member of staff and explained. They kindly moved me into a room on my own. Absolutely amazing Customer service. They understood straight away and were very kind and understanding. Thank you.

I've stayed here before. Friendly staff, great facilities. Super organized kitchen, dining area and a garden to enjoy the sunshine. Rooms and bed linen were clean. Bed was comfy. There is parking across the road. It's paid parking - but cheap !

If you expect friendly staff and welcoming garden plus a well equipped kitchen, this is the place for you to stay.In addition to beautyful garden to enjoy at this hostel , guest also have the use fridge and freezer , together with well equipped kitchen is ideal for self catering if you are on limited budget.

Friendly staff at hostel run by landlord, wife and sun. Provide service, japanese cuisine from Osaka, found it very tasty with many flavour range in the meal Hostel situated in a park, quiet location. Great self caring facilities, has additional kitchen with gas hob with microwave and oven. Also additional food added occassionaly, ideal for budget and also close distance travel to london and Stansted Airport. I want to book to come back to again here in the future, I enjoyed stay here.

What a complete and utter dump ! Me and my partner needed to cancel as I had a hospital for my heart , wanted to cancel 48hours before , and he said and not my problem ! What rude rude people, explained my situation and he said he couldn’t care less about me and is glad I’m not even coming now, going off other peoples reviews too what a complet and utter dump !

I stayed at HIH several times and always felt warmly welcomed. The landlord, his lovely wife and son are a kind-hearted family. They put much care and love into running the hostel and make it as home-like as possible. It takes about 7 min walk from the station to the hostel. It's in the middle of a beautiful park with a peaceful ambience. There's a huge Sainsbury's nearby (about 10 min walk) which is very convenient. Great self-catering facilities. They've also got free food, e.g. bread and vegetables, donated from Tesco. All the bed sheets are of good quality and comfortable and the entire hostel is very clean. It also has a lovely garden, a great spot for meditation when it's not too cold or windy. The fast train to Stansted Airport stops at Harlow Town and it takes about 15 mins to get to Tottenham Hale (Victoria line) and about 30 mins to Liverpool Street. One of the lodgers (who's very much into architecture) told me that the building was built in the 16th century (if I remember it correctly). So quite historic.
