The museum location has 2 separate buildings. The 1st being the main building that has all the amenities and check in, and the 2nd being a kind of overflow building for longer stays and more inexpensive rooms. I stayed in the 2nd on the ground floor as my stay was for a week. The second building has your rooms, showers and toilets. If you want to experience the hostel’s amenities try and book a bed in the main building. The room I was in didn't have A/C, or a screen on the window so if you wanted some cooler air or airflow in general you'll need to turn on the large noisy fan and crack open the window. 1 night of my stays one of my roommates put his belongings on a table near the window and at some point in the night, someone reached in and stole them. So maybe keep your items in your bags locked overnight, or if you see your window doesn’t have a screen just don’t put items near the window.

Located very centrally, close to so many of the major landmarks. Has GREAT kitchen, spacious and well-stocked so you have everything you need to cook proper meals. It's very social—it really encourages people to chat with each other, which not every hostel does, and has fun events, so it's great for a solo traveller. GREAT staff, all are so friendly, the most friendly set of staff in a London hostel which again makes it so easy to be social! Thank you everyone; Tristan, Alex, Ben, Aitor etc etc who all made my stay a joy :) The hostel is clean, bathroom amenities are clean and rather spacious, and rooms are spacious, light and with high ceilings, which is great. Just great overall! I recommend to book rooms in the main hostel and not the 'annexe', to make it more convenient. :)

Good: - The room was a good size with simple furnishing, true to pictures - Showers are a good size but see below. - There is a phone which directly connects to the main building reception. Bad - The rooms and the stairs are not soundproof at all. Noise resonates a lot. - The doors are all heavy but the closing mechanism is very hard, and thus when they close they always bang loudly. The main house seemed to have dampened mechanisms. - You wouldn't expect to need a notice to remind guests, yet other guests feel it is acceptable to make a lot of noise after 11pm, ignoring that other guests might be trying to sleep. - Room 1 is right next to the external door, which is where we were, so the lack of soundproofing, selfish guests, poor door mechanisms, and noisy stairs, meant we got very little sleep. - We complained at 1:30am and there was some respite, but the noise continued through the night. - There is no internal door lock - it has been removed. - Despite room amenities listing a shower/toilet, it is in fact shared. There were 3 showers and 2 toilets on our floor and the one below. The problem with older buildings is you have to make the effort for them to be hospitable for sleeping. Astor hasn't, and thus the experience is terrible. Sorry.

Great walking distance to many city attractions, perfect access to most of area by bus (less than 5 mins walk to closest bus stop - connects to major area in London) or metro (less than 10 mins walk to Holborn). Clean and tidy room and bathroom - friendly supportive staff member through out the stay! One thing would be the staircase you have to use if you are staying at the upper floor - and have heavy luggage. Will definitely stay again for next trip.
