I can 100% recommend Halpin house for short and long stay. South Kensington is the best location in London and this is the best place to stay if you are lucky to book a bed as Halpin always fully booked! Imperial Colledge, The World famous Museums, Hyde Park, Chelsea - ALL walking distance and Oxford Circus within 15 min! Big and small Waitrose, Sainsburry and Tescos all around. I also would like to say big thank you to the Management and the staff - they are really doing amazing job for keeping the place very clean and functional with happy atmosphere. The Management takes their responsibility very serious and doing their best to sort out problems. I and my friends here are very happy with the Manager as he is always pleasure to deal with! He is very professional with exceptional Management skills and attend any issue with the best care. He is also so knowledgeable, super nice and polite and efficient at the same time - he is really doing amazing job ! We also noted the new Assistant Manager Rizwan - he is exceptionally good with residents (we all noted!): he listens to you and attend any issue with no delay and moreover he effectively achieves the result! He is very efficiently fix the problem or sort out any issue. He is very smart and knowledgeable with excellent Management skills and also pleasant to deal with. He always attentive to each resident and give professional answer or immediately attend and fix the problem. Rizwan is the best addition to the Management! And we just hope the current Management team stay very long time in Halpin house. Overall Halpin house is the best hostel in London with currently the best team! If i could give 10* I would. Rooms: Renovated rooms, showers, self catering kitchens. Great facilities.

It was good but the services in the house is not good. Once a guy opened my room without knocking the door. He would tidy up a bed but he didn't ask to get in. I lost money with the app for use the washing machines and dryers and they didn't get my money back. Once I moved my night tabe to check if it was clean but it was very dirty. Etc

The quality is reflected in the price 😅 I was in a two person room and it was pretty spacious. The room has a bed, wardrobe, and sink/mirror that are relatively clean. The beds are not the most comfortable but that’s fine. The communal showers are okay, kind of small, but make sure to bring shower shoes and a robe to make it easier for yourself to change in your room. 2 out of 3 of them always had a weird smell. The communal toilets are something to be left desired, not the cleanest and often ran out of TP. There’s two kitchens on the first floor. Not the best, but it gets the job done if you want to microwave something. A lot of construction going on during my stay here. Overall, do not expect a 5 star hotel. This will give you a place to sleep and shower when you stay in London for a really good price - that’s really it.
