Belvedere House (Gloucester Road) 6 Grenville Place, London SW7 4RT

"Spent over a year at Belvedere House. My experience here has been nothing short of incredible. Efficient management, clean rooms, kitchens and toilets. Living right in the heart of London for such a reasonable accommodation fee, it can’t get any better!"

"Not recomended for long stayng, unless you are lucky enough to have great "floor mate" to share the kitchen and the bathroom. Stale air because it everything close and full of doors wich need to be kept closed for "safety". And there is dust around. I ve never seen a deep cleaning in almost 2 years. The area is really good, the price kind of good as well.(but not so good for a charity maybe)."

"Warning volunteers! Attention!! Total disorganization and poor management to volunteer. In previous years, I had very good comments from volunteers at the Belvedere, now when you apply for the vacancies, they tell you that you are going to be a receptionist and when you arrive from your trip tired and confused, not only they don' t know about your arrival but they also tell you that you are going to be a housekeeper! Very unprofessional. They do not provide the necessary information about the services and benefits in exchange for volunteering. This Hostel does not provide basic kitchen utensils such as plates, cutlery and glasses. The included food service is in another hostel 40 minutes from there, which means that you may not get to have breakfast or dinner depending on the volunteer schedule. The trainings for the volunteers are not properly explained and the current reception volunteer demands that you should ask her how things should be done in an unrespectful bad way, without having previously given the correct training. Very confusing. And as a colleague volunteer not even empathic. If you want to volunteer here, keep in mind all these details. And hopefully you can work with colleagues who are willing and friendly to explain and/or help. Very sad to know that I have recommended this volunteering to someone and had a bad experience."

"I'm staying here since last year and complained regarding shower so many times but they are not even replying to my email. As per the management they are waiting for the parts to repair the shower since last year. As looking for the accommodation in London isn't easy that's why have to stay here."

"Excellent Administrative staff and a pleasant stay. Regularly cleaned rooms and common area."
