Reviews of Barmy Badger Backpackers
R. G.By far the best hostel i have stayed at in London, the owners Ken and liz made me feel at home there and they will go the extra mile to help you out. The rooms are super comfortable, proper beds, the bunks are solid wood so there no rattling noise when people go on them, you have a own personal locker for you're luggage plus a safe with a code inside which makes life so easy. The kitchen is great and people that stay there are nice as well. So if anyone is looking for a hostel to stay at in 2022 in London go to barmy backpackers without a doubt.
M. A.Very clean, extremely friendly & helpful staff! The hostel kitchen is clean & spacious. It's a lively, social and chill atmosphere. Loved our stay here!!
C. F.Super friendly staff, really clean hostel with much more faciities than you would get at a regular hostel. Long term stayers are really cool and give the place a homey welcoming feel.
f. p.Excellent hostel great for young people looking for a chill place to Enjoy London with a fun social atmosphere!
Great rooms lovely kitchen , lovely staff I'd highly recommend to anyone passing through
J. P.Very nice staff and nice facilities. What one could expect from a hostel, no complaints from our side.
R. R.People were absolutely adorable, we arrived there in the middle of the night but everything was planned and perfect. The room we had was cool and for the price it was more than OK that was really cool.
The location of barmy badger is great, it's easy to find something to eat or drink in the neighbourhood and public transport are really close to the hostel.
I'll keep the address for a long time and I wish I'll be able to come back before you leave Europe!
M. M.Nice and easy going guys at the reception. It's a clean place. You can use their kitchen to prepare a food. Free breakfasts (mostly toast with nutella..... Real nutella :) which is good as it's an energy to sight see London. This place is a bargain because it is cheap, clean and close to most London attractions. Been there in 2015. Sorry for the late opinion.
L. S.The Badger truly excels because of its atmosphere. Few places feel this welcoming and I definitely felt like I was being welcomed into the Badger family after only a few days. The facilities are also swell. The kitchen has all you need to cook just about anything. Staff are respectful and helpful. The 6-person dorms are a bit more roomy than the 4-person ones which can feel a bit cramped but all the spaces are really great. The location is ideal for heading downtown since it's so close to the tube. It's also surrounded by loads of traditional pubs and a couple grocery stores so you have plenty of options when picking out food. Cleanliness could be improved but overall it's a great space. I'll definitely be staying here again the next time I come to London
R. H.Overall, I had a pleasant stay while here. The beds are not made and there are no towels provided but the rooms are quaint and the water pressure is outstanding. The beds aren't that thick and are made out of foam but they are so nice to lay on after a long day of adventuring. There's food downstairs in the morning for breakfast that consists of toast with various spreads and fruits but you must go early. Earl's Court is also a great place to be for food. I would recommend this place to my friends.
C. A. S.Good facilities. Awesome free breakfast. Helpful and friendly staff. Very quiet, even at weekends. Comfortable dorm room with window and radiator.
The showers do work and they are hot, but the knobs are fiddly to get right and the shower heads are not the best.
Be aware the hostel is split across five levels so you may find yourself going up and down stairs a lot to get to the kitchen (basement) and to find a free shower/toilet (one on each floor)
E. R.We stayed at the Barmy Badger for three nights in a double room (with shared bathroom). The people running the hostel were nice, relaxed and were very helpful. The location is good, near the Earl's Court underground station. We didn't experience any issues with this but we were on the top floor and the stairs are very steep, and there's no lift. The room was comfortable and clean, no complaints.
A. R.When we arrived we were greeted in a very friendly and professional manner. The rooms are older but still very nice and taken care of. The only issue with them is the creaky floorboards and potentially feeling like you are an elephant in the morning.
Free fruit and toast for breakfast is nice but it would be nice if there were a little more options.
Overall it was a great stay.
D. C.Good hostel at a good price. Pretty well located. Clean rooms, friendly staff, feels secure. Not the biggest breakfast in the world but can't complain when it's free. Better than many other London hostels for half the price.
M. K. H.This was such a wonderful experience! Liz was so helpful and welcomed us warmly upon arrival. We stayed in the cutest room with our own shower and sink and we were right down the hall from the kitchen and bathroom. The garden is so beautiful and we had a great time hanging out. It's a quick walk to the underground and to tons of restaurants and shops. Liz was kind enough to give us some great recommendations. Best of all, we got to hang out with Tinker, Liz's dog, who hangs out at the hostel five days a week! We were sad not to stay longer and would highly recommend!
B. G.Great hostel in a very central location. Amazing staff who are very helpful. Someone conplained about having to put sheets on their bed and return them at checkout. I can only guess they have never stayed in a hostel before, or never done much by themselves in their life to date. This is amazing value for money for London. Very good atmosphere in this hostel.
A. A. R. G.Price was expensive for a hostel, but very worth it. The atmosphere was very nice, staff was incredibly kind, rooms and the place itself was clean. They also have free breakfast. I would definitely stay again if I get the chance.
R. N.Great value for money. Floorboards make a lot of noise. mattresses are quite thin but, hey, for this price you can't be too demanding. Love the proximity to the subway and the fact that you can use both District and Piccadilly lines. Also has a supermarket pretty close by and some cheap places to eat.
d. p.Great Hostel. Kind hosts and relaxed atmosphere. It is very close to Earls Court underground station. Good WiFi. Lockers are included in room(bring own lock). 10/10 would visit again
T. F.I have never stayed at a hostel before and this place blew me away with the quality and hospitality. London was a last minute trip because of missing a flight to somewhere else. I had to plan accommodations on the fly and I came across Barmy Badger on the hostel world app. After reading hundreds of reviews between Barmy Badger and other hostels. I chose to book here and glad I did. It is located close to to a train station that makes commuting back and forth into the city center a breeze. There are plenty of restaurant options close by and this store called Tesco. It is kinda like a walmWal with low price foods you can bring back to the hostel to cook. Everyone that wotkwat the hostel was full of smiles and just so helpful. I stayed in a mix dorm and the room slept four people. Each bed had a locker that you could put a lock on and each locker had a safe inside. The beds were very comfortable and solid. The frames we're wooden and made into the walls. Which stopped the beds from making a lot of nosies. The common areas were really nice with the kitchen having plenty of room and the TV had a huge couch in it for everyone. Everyone I met were very cool and chill and had a blast getting to know people and share stories.If you are looking for an awesome hostel not to far from the city center in London. I highly recommend this place. For the value and experience you can't go wrong with Barmy Badger.
N. M.Clean, great fully equipped kitchen, lots of bathrooms, good showers, interesting short and long term guests. Great location near Earls Court tube station...restaurants, pubs, tons of good food stores. Best hostel I've been to.
A. C.This was the best hostel I stayed at during my 2 month holiday in Europe. Clean, relaxed, friendly, safe and provided everything I needed. I would definitely recommend it.
N. T.Quite and very friendly stuff and owner!
I have been to a lot of hostels in London now and this is the best one I have been.
Very good: The rooms have their own bathroom and the kitchen equipment.
Not so good: The mattresses ;)
M.Yes, just like everything in London, it is a bit expensive.
Good place to get a solid night's rest. Staff is nice, there is a carb-heavy free breakfast, and the building is quiet.
Not too much smell of cigarette smoke (as is often the case with most hostels), which to me is priority #1 when in Europe.
Tall people beware - beds are cramped, as are the bathrooms and common areas.
E. U.Friendly staff, small but nice room (we got a private single), very clean, and in a lovely area near an underground station. Would highly recommend. Lots of hit water and good shower pressure.
O. C.an very friendly and homely hostel. the patrons are welcoming and hospitable. it's located right near earl's court station which is extremly comfortable. the facilities are clean and there's never a line to the bathroom.
since half the visitors are actually staying there for an extended period, they maintin the very cool and relaxed atmosphere.
(march 2014)
Z. M.Super clean, super quiet, friendliest staff I have ever met... Room was superb.. if you have not stayed here, then you are missing a true 5* hostel. I will be back. Best stay ever.
D. R.Good estructure, nice staff, very well located and organized. Despite the small box, I've had good shower there. My only critique is about the space in the kitchen, sometimes is no space for everybody, so some have to go outside to eat.
J. D.Beautiful culture where I felt welcome within 2 days. Great airy rooms and atmosphere. Location isn't great if you cycle. Bedding isn't great, but the atmosphere, culture, staff, and overall family feel are lovely.
S. P.Great staffs (including adorable puppies). Close to the tube station, so easy to reach othe r tourist places. Very clean and breakfast is basic but good. Would visit there again!
N. L.Nice ambience! Flexible and kind staff. Left my baggage until late, used the kitchen and etc. nice location. Met a lot of recurring guests so seems that I was not the only one to feel comfortable!
J. E. C. L. V.Good hostel for sleeping after a whole day walking in London. Clean, good facilities, good bathroom x guest ratio, nice staff. Would stay again.
T. T.I really loved this super friendly hostel. Comfy beds, nice TV room, great staff in a lovely building in a great location. Top marks.
O. J.1ts time I've ever stayed here. Best Hostel I've been to. Super friendly and decent. If I'm in the area again i won't be going elsewhere. Thanks you ! 😁
M. O.Great staff, comfortable rooms with plenty of storage space, and all the facilities you could ask for from a hostel. One of the best I've stayed in.
N. L. S.The staff is great and the location is good. I stayed up on the top floor which was too much for me. The other people in the room were some of the most annoying people I have ever encountered and some of the drawers in the kitchen fall off when you open them.
M.Very friendly staff, perfect location, clean and comfy rooms with everything needed (locker, safe, lamp, usb plug on the wall so no need of UK adaptor), decent free breakfast... I definitely recommend this place and will certainly come back! :)
C. K.For the price is a good place. Pretty close to the tube, breakfast included, decent Internet, my room was a bit musty, and the layout is a multilevel stacked flat tire building. Very friendly staff!
M. G.A quality Hostel- not another soulless chain. Friendly staff and good sized rooms for a London hostel. Large lockers, and free breakfast.
E. C.This place is perfectly located if you want to spend a peaceful weekend in London. We really appreciated the service and the staff was really kind and helpful, they also helped us with a map of the city and an explanation of what to do.
E. C.Convenient hostel with all the expected facilities and free breakfast, within a very short distance of the Tube station. Friendly staff and lovely residents.

S. T.Staff was very nice, people living there were great, location was awesome. I would recommend this place to any person. So much more worth it then a hotel.
J. G.Great, cozy little spot in a charming and convenient neighborhood. Very comfy beds and very clean. Give it a go if you'll be in London!
J. B.Enjoyed my stay. The front desk was very helpful. The Bathroom to people ratio was high but this is London eh? So I think most are like that there.
Y. T. M.The staff are so pleasant, and the beds and bathrooms comfortable and clean. A lovely respite from icky hostels.
P. H.Excellent hostel the only thing to be aware of is they are really resistant to accepting credit cards even after I made it clear I did not mind the 3% surcharge.
X. E.Almost a house share hostel that you can come and go as you please. Can be noisy at night time, but it is fairly clean.

A. C.(Translated) I used the quadruple room for 4 days. It is a wooden bunk bed. There is no sound in the room. There is a private bathroom in the room. The bathroom is also outside. Breakfast is included. It was very nice because it was possible to cook. Staff is very kind. It's not a crowded party atmosphere!
(Original)
4일동안 4인실 사용했어요 나무로된 2층침대라 소리도 안나고 방안에 개별욕실 있습니다 화장실도 밖에 있고 조식포함이고 취사 가능해서 너무 좋았어요 직원분들 정말 친절합니다~ 시트 다 따로 주고 깨끗했어요 추천! 시끌벅적한 파티 분위기는 아닙니다!
D. S.(Translated) In relation to the English standard well cleaned and kept. The rooms are a bit small and the presence of only one common room jeopardizes the fifth star
(Original)
In relazione allo standard inglese ben pulito e tenuto. Un po' piccole le stanze e la presenza di una sola sala comune pregiudica la quinta stella
E. P. (.(Translated) THE hostel. Really very comfortable and calm. The staff's attention was first. Very clean and spacious. The breakfast is also very good. I highly recommend it.

A. A.(Translated) The place is very ordinary and not what I expected

A. M.(Translated) Convenient to the metro, comfortable common areas, clean but we had no hot water for one evening ...

Comodo per la metro, comodi gli spazi comuni, pulito ma siamo rimasti senza acqua calda per una sera...
