What I liked the most about Bell House Hostel is its location. I was able to get to college (UCL) within 10 minutes by taking bus 18 to Euston, the bus stop is one block from the hostel, which is amazing. It's very close to Baker Street, where you can find all kinds of restaurants and coffee shops, including my favorites: McDonalds, Nandos, Starbucks, KFC, Pizza Express, Pret a Manger, but also there's a Beauty Salon, everything you need is there. Also, it is very close to Edgware Road, where you can find pharmacies and a 24-hour open Noor Supermarket. If you have time you can go walking to Piccadilly Circus, only 20 minutes walk or you can also go to Oxford Street, a 15 minute walk. To sum up, you can get it all by walking. Besides the location, I really felt comfortable in my bed and I found it to be very clean and tidy!

Amazingly convenient location, free parking Fri eve through to the rest of the weekend behind Stockwell tube station. Nicely furnished, clean, tasteful design. Comfy bed. Pretty well sound insulated, bedroom is more isolated from the street than other rooms so good for sleep. Very easy and clear check-in and out procedure. Fantastic value for money for the location.

I'm really picking holes here as it's a fantastic place especially for the money. Some laminate tiles in the kitchen don't fit, so watch your step a little. And the tap in the toilet (not en suite) isn't fitted well. Bedroom got really hot and couldn't figure out how to contain the heating. But we still slept well!

Well appointed room, comfortable and clean. Views across the park from 10th floor room lovely. Easy to walk over to shopping centre for an evening meal as some food places open until 9-10pm.

Was a pain to get to and parking is not free. It is at least £8 if you arrive after 6pm (add £2 if you arrive even 30 minutes earlier). Sound proofing of the rooms was not great for such a new hotel. Hot food at breakfast was disappointing as only option for eggs was fried and there were only tinned tomatoes. Fruit etc was good.

Location was great. We did not actually stay in this particular property as there was a plumbing issue upon arrival. We were moved to another property which perfectly matched our needs.

I was extremely unhappy with the fact that after making payment for the property I was then referred to a 3rd party site to pay a £250 security deposit. I have no problem paying a refundable security deposit but was not at all happy with the amount of information I had to give to a 3rd party company who hold onto the information for 7 years. Information required was all your personal data, plus photo of your passport or driving license. At no point in the booking process were we informed that we would be referred on to this company called Superhog and I would not have proceeded with the booking had i known. I have never once been asked to do that before when booking with booking.com / hotels.com / airbnb etc.

Very spacious rooms, ideal location for us to stay while walking the SW Coastal path. Breakfast and tea/coffee ingredients very welcome, as was the washing machine.
