Belsize House (Belsize Park)

Although the staff was friendly, we did not enjoy our stay at the hostel. It was unbelievable how dirty it was. Upon entering the room on our first day, it had not even been cleaned...dirty sink with a dirty sponge left in it and the floors had piles of dust in every corner. Only thing that was cleaned was the sheets. I could not believe it...I mean its basic standards of cleanliness. The carpet in the hall constantly smelled of feet and you can see the dirt all in it as if its not been vacuumed in months. The kitchen was unbearable, it was so disgusting all the time and the showers made me feel more dirty after going inside of them. Its very unfortunate because at the price you pay and location you are in, I would have expected basic standards of cleaning at least. I've stayed at hostels all over the world (much cheaper than this, mind you) and never experienced one this gross. We were planning to stay here for 3-4 months until realizing it was unbearable then when we put in our notice after the third day we were told that we would be forced to stay the two week minimum which was never mentioned upon arrival and was extreemly frustrating.

I would like to say that thank you to all the staff for doing such an amazing job. Since i arrived here everyone made me feel welcome and part of a family. Also during the coronavirus and current situations that is going on the staff and management have been excellent with cleaning and also making all feel safe and over come any problems

Thank you for the good work keep it up

Great place to stay long-term in London. The location is one of the best in town, well-connected and safe. The facilities are cleaned thoroughly every day and it's affordable. The team does an excellent job at running the place, from the management to all the volunteers :)

Great value at 40 pounds for my own room, which was fine for the price. Had my own sink. Shared shower was too small to bend over in but I just about managed. Good location with a 5 minute walk to metro. Renato helped carry my big suitcase to the top floor which was very kind. Would recommend and would stay again at that price.

Great place to stay in London long and short term. Great location. Rooms are spacious and each floor has 2 shared kitchens, bathrooms with showers and baths and separate toilets. The volunteers clean everyday to maintain the place as clean and tidy as possible. Management is always helpful and they go out of their way to make sure they can accommodate everyone's needs. I've been staying on and off at LHA for the last 3 years and I can call this place home. Renato and Linda are always kind and helpful which definitely adds to the experience.

I had a very pleasant stay at Belsize House. Will stay again in future.

Thank you

I stayed at LHA Belsize last year and thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I am back again this year as all the staff have been so friendly and helpful to me, not to mention the fantastic location and very affordable price. I would definitely recommend LHA to students or anyone looking for a great place to stay in London.

A special thanks to Linda and Renato from the management team for their warm and hospitable nature, they have gone above and beyond, and I am truly grateful for their kindness. Other staff including volunteers such as John and Ossard, deserve recognition for their hard work in keeping the place clean and tidy and for helping you get back into your room at 2am when you have accidently locked yourself out. It has been a pleasure to stay here, and I would happily recommend this fantastic hostel to friends and family alike.

Excellent. This hostel is located close to the centre of London. It has several underground stations nearby, restaurants and supermarkets. The staff is very friendly and will help you with anything you ask for. There is a shared TV area and a beautiful garden where you can relax. They also comply with COVID sanitary measures, respecting the safety distances and the rules.
