Customer Review
Chaos at the Junction, Avoid the Noise
I'm not one to write reviews, but my stay at Kensal Green Backpackers was a disaster. The hostel's multicultural atmosphere, which I initially thought would be a plus, turned out to be more like a noisy, never-ending party. The rooms were cramped, and the showers, although in-room, were poorly maintained. I had to ask multiple times for towels and toilet paper. The continental breakfast was basic, to say the least - think stale cereal and warm milk. The staff, while friendly, seemed overwhelmed and disorganized. The 24/7 security was a joke; I saw people walking in and out without any checks. The storage for valuables at reception was a small, unlocked cabinet - not exactly reassuring. The events at the LeJunction Pub were more like a nuisance, with loud music and rowdy crowds spilling into the hostel. The location, while convenient for some attractions, was far from the main sights in London, and the Overground journey to the Olympic Park was a trek. For the price, I expected a lot more. Unfortunately, Kensal Green Backpackers failed to deliver on its promises of a fun and memorable stay. Unless you're looking for a party hostel where sleep is optional, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.
