Acacia Hostel London is ideally located for visits to the local museums in Kensington. You can also walk to Hyde Park from the hostel. Hyde Park is London's largest open space and combines beautiful gardens with a boating lake, art gallery and historic monuments. This is a very wealthy area of London, so there are plenty of upmarket boutiques close by, as well as more affordable high street shops. |

| The acacia is a very nice cheap and cheerful hostel, very central, with friendly staff. It is currrently being renovated. They stop serving breakfast at 9.30, and they mean it! |

| "I liked and survieved the stay - yes it could be cleaner and yes the madresses could be softer.
But location is the best... and at such a low price! The breackfast is poor - but we had toast and some cereal. The kitchen is dirty and have no plates or fork/knife.. so buy disposable cutlery at the very near store. We also bought some cleaning meterials for the toilet.. LOL... and borrowed the vaccum cleaner. heh. All in all a pleasant stay!" |

| Unfair really to rate Acacia Hostel London at this juncture as it is under extensive refubishment, and it needs it! The refurbishment was distruptive and not ideal to stay the least! Staff v friendly & location fabulous (i.e. beautiful area of kensington, with the natural history museum at the top of the street). |

| I've been there, it's really not very clean. Especialy the bathroom showers. But it's also very cheap. Only book the Acacia Hostel if you really need to save every single penny. |

| I was impressed by the room and location of Acacia Hotel. My stay was very good value for money, and the facilities are perfect for students and backpackers.
My only criticism is that upon arrival at the hotel in the afternoon the reception was closed and there was no clear method of how to check-in. Fortunately we were able to get hold of a member of staff by phoning the hotel from the entrance hall, although I think this should of been made clear or another method of contact made available. I will definitely be using Acacia Hostel again, most probably next time I visit London. |

| Acacia Hostel London was ok, if very very basic, but it had clean rooms and linen.
Friendly guests, and the staff were fairly friendly. Some bathrooms out of order, some under maintenance, so can be a bit inconvenient. Great location for Science Museum and Hyde Park. A bit far from the center, but still a Zone 1 tube location. |

| The Acacia Hostel London was not as clean as it should be and the staff was not very friendly and not at all obliging. The dining room includes only 2 tables and so it gets very busy because of the guests who assemble in the corridor to check in. All in all, this hostel is more suitable for short trips than longer stays. |
