Astor's Victoria Hotel - Review from Jason B

Let me start off by saying this is not the hostel of choice for me in london, there is much better around! However what this place has going for it is it's proximity to victoria coach station, very ideal for all of those needing to get to/from stanstead airport early/late for those cheap ryanair flights. Another good point is that it's within easy walking distance Buckingham palace. Also the beds are reasonable. Other than that the rooms are terribly stuffy (you will die in the summer time) and the 'common room' is really flawed...not a good place to meet travellers, the staff could also learn to loosen up abit. Go there if ya need to get to victoria coach station really early or late or if you've just arrived from some long overseas flight and need to get over jetlag for a couple of days. It's all about snooze rather than booze at this little hostel.
