Mapesbury Hostel London

The accommodation was absolutely filthy. I‘ve never experienced something like this… First of all, we were perfectly on time for the check in, in the end we needed to wait 35 Minutes for someone to come by. We needed to call the management 2 times and still it took that long… Arriving in our room it wasn’t fitting to the pictures shown on the internet. Our room was tiny… there was a small fridge standing right behind the door and very small space to put your belongings in. (If you even wanted that…) The most important point is that the room as well as the bathrooms which you are sharing with different people, which seem to live there, were disgustingly dirty. The bed sheet had several stains on it and the room itself was very dirty. The walls were covered in something we don’t even know… and behind a picture they tried to hide a broken wall. The fridge hat black stains in it and smelled a little weird. The public bath had dirty showers and in the toilet were (you know) …. Stains. At the end we became an new apartment which was better and more private, still a bit dirty but compared to what we‘ve had before much better. Wouldn‘t recommend! Go somewhere else, the area the hostel was didn’t feel safe either many homeless people by night. The only positive point is that it was in Zone 2 Kilburn, with the underground you were quick in the City centre.

Worst Nightmare ever! We booked it through airbnb. The house is fully packed. Families living and cooking in one room and doïng their dishes in the shower. To dirty to take a shower. Grease everywhere and a very bad smell. We paid 500 Pounds. And never get to reach Gareth the owner. We made a complaint through Airbnb but it was waved by paying back 50euro :((
