Harlow International Hostel

in Harlow town park.BUT Needs major upgrade. It isn't a hotel it's a grubby hostel with a nasty toilet and shower separate from the room. The stained shower looks like a refugee from the 1960s It's a very sad place to be. The mattress was terrible, extremely uncomfortable so I didn't get much sleep due to the pain generated by laying on it. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

A gem. An old YHA hostel and run by the same guy for over thirty years. If you want modern, hi tech, all singing all dancing then go to one of the big chains. If you want quirky, no frills, basic and a classic old hostel experience th3n this place has to be for you. I will certainly return.

I have come after a long journey to stay here and since I was desperate and I booked the room due to wonderful reviews I had to sleep here. First of all they didn’t give me the door code up the very last minute and because I terrorized them with phone calls. Then it smelled horribly like urine in the room and the worst thing BED BUGS all over the place.

Lovely area - Harlow Park. The property has a beautiful well- kept garden. The owner and staff were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere in the house was homely. Food and drink available to buy and prepare on site in the well- eqipped kitchen. Books and board games galore.

Wonderful family run hostel in the centre of the Town Park. I enjoyed an extended stay here and will be returning for sure when I am back in the area. All the facilities are well maintained and the hostel is kept very clean. Very close to the train station with quick connections to both Central London and Stansted Airport. Special thanks to Richard and his wife, their son Raymond, and member of staff, John. See you again!

Customer service is amazing. I just booked in not realising it was a hostal. I suffer from mental health and anxiety from trauma in the past. So being in a room with other men made me very anxious. I spoke to a member of staff and explained. They kindly moved me into a room on my own. Absolutely amazing Customer service. They understood straight away and were very kind and understanding. Thank you.
