    the rooms were spacious and clean, and the shared bathrooms were acceptable. the staff at the check, in counter could have been friendlier, but the manager was very nice. I shared a room with a long, term resident who was a wonderful person. I felt safe leaving my belongings in the room, as many people stay there long, term. it was a good value for money. Cons: All good 😊.

    During my stay at Halpin House, I had a fantastic experience. The location was excellent, situated in a beautiful area with charming surroundings. The neighborhood was safe and well-connected, making it easy to explore London. I appreciated the modern and well-equipped kitchens on the third floor, which allowed me to prepare my meals comfortably.

    Although I encountered a minor inconvenience with the towel situation upon arrival, the issue was quickly resolved by the attentive staff. The only other drawback was the cleanliness of the showers and toilets, which could be improved and maintained more regularly.

    The location of the accommodation was perfect, with both South Kensington and Gloucester Road within a short walking distance. the room I stayed in was exceptionally clean, spacious, and properly ventilated. the common bathrooms were always available and never had to wait in line. the kitchen by the room was modern and convenient, allowing guests to prepare their own meals. the friendly staff also made the stay more enjoyable, providing excellent service and creating a calm atmosphere.

    There was a negative experience with a long-term resident in a shared room who insisted on keeping the room extremely warm, which made it uncomfortable for others.

    Clean and well-equipped kitchens, spacious rooms with comfortable beds, friendly staff. One night during our stay at Halpin House, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the kitchens were spacious and clean, with all the necessary equipment. We were able to cook our own meals without any issues. The rooms were also spacious and the beds were comfortable, allowing us to get a good night's sleep. The staff at the hostel were friendly and accommodating. our experience at Halpin House was positive and we would recommend it to others.

    We had an amazing time at the hostel. Carmen made our stay truly memorable with her exceptional hospitality and friendly nature. the rooms were spacious and clean, and we felt safe leaving our belongings there. the location was excellent, and the value for money was great. the manager, Mederic, was also very nice and ensured we had a pleasant experience. We shared our room with a lovely long-term resident named Cristina, who added to the enjoyable atmosphere. Cons: All was perfect! 😊.

    The staff at the front desk were friendly and polite, making the check-in process smooth. the location of the hotel was convenient, with key attractions and public transportation within walking distance. - the room I stayed in was clean and comfortable, providing a good night's sleep.

    The carpets in the hotel were in poor condition, which was a bit off-putting. The elevator was quite small, causing some inconvenience during peak times.

    Great value for money, with spacious and clean rooms. The location was excellent and the staff, especially Carmen, were amazing.

    The morning meal could be improved with a wider variety of kitchenware.

    My recent stay at Halpin House was surprisingly pleasant. The location was fantastic, with easy access to public transportation and nearby attractions. The room I stayed in was better than expected for a two-night stay, and it had a comfortable single bed. The building itself was nice and had a convenient lift. I appreciated the ample storage space provided, including a lockable cupboard and drawer. Though there were a few minor inconveniences like a broken lock and lack of kitchen amenities, I managed to make do and even used the microwave to heat water for my coffee. The wireless internet was reliable throughout the building, and I found the lounge area to be quite useful. The front desk was superb and even allowed me to hang around until my bus departure due to bad weather. I would recommend this hotel for its location, comfortable room, and helpful staff.
