Disliked: Staff & service
Property not well maintained and needs updating. Person at today’s check in was quite rude. I checked in around 9 pm and asked him for directions to nearby places to eat. He just said go out and either turn right or left and walk 3 minutes. I asked for more detail than that since I am new to the area and he did not answer, just ignored me and started attending to another customer and did not bother to answer me. When I reminded him that he had not answered me, he got upset and told me I was being rude and will be reported!

Go to the place early if its your first time

I book a stay for a night since I'm gonna be watching a concert. The area is a bit hard to locate since it's located inside a park. The staff were helpful. I completely forgot to bring my passport with me (good thing was the man who's in the front desk was being understanding and accepted the photo and my e-visa). The size of the bed is fine for a single person you just need to be careful with your head if you're on the lower bunk bed. The bed and the sheets were clean. The floor is a bit dirty the time I checked in though (I need to sit on the floor to sort the things out of my bag since you can't sit on your bed with your upper body straight. There's only 1 toilet with shower on our floor but then, you can go to other toilets. I'm having a bit of a problem with the shower since there's no thermostat and I find the water way too hot for me.

Good enough for a quick stay for a good price. Very noisy with a lot of children out screaming in the courtyard just outside the sleeping room windows at 6:30am for some reason. Staff was not doing anything to quiet them, despite all the signs regarding quiet hours and respecting your roommates. There were also people smoking directly outside our room's open window. Lots of room for improvement here.

This is a small hostel located in the middle of a very large park. They don’t provide any directions. There are two total entrances Hyde park each a long walk to find the property which is not easily located. The one entrance is a steep hill that bikers are going up and down. It’s unsafe and dark even in the daytime. The park near it is beautiful. The rooms are poorly ventilated and the beds are not appropriate for anyone with disabilities or that are short. They will book you without saying this even if you ask questions and they won’t accommodate you or work with you on a refund after you arrive and discover this. I hope they let me post photos. When I arrive there were so many people with disabilities and ambulation issues in the lobby begging for refunds and water because it was hot and difficult to find in a national park. They should be ashamed of themselves and so should Expedia for allowing them to continue booking people without these warnings posted.
Staff unhelpful and not accommodating for those with disabilities
Beds are like prison beds and tiny cages in poorly ventilated rooms.

Amazing deaf friendly place

This place was very accommodating and even went the extra mile to accommodate me given my disability. I was super impressed with the staff and their courteous behaviour towards me as a Deaf person. This says a lot about this establishment and their selection of staff. This has to be by far one of the best places I have stayed in to date for their kindness and friendliness towards deaf people. It’s a big deal for someone like me. The only complaint I would have is the other occupants of the room being chaotic with their dumping of bags right next to the beds so I would have to navigate them in the middle of the night. This aside I have rated as fairly as I can.
