Astor Museum Hostel
Go there and contact
Youth hostel close to the West End of the British Museum for the over 18s.
If the hotel's motto is a little exaggerated when it says that if heaven were a hotel, it would surely be the Astor Museum, it must be said that this youth hostel near the West End and the British Museum has a certain charm, reinforced by a young and smiling staff, welcoming common rooms, ideal for meeting other travellers and the dream location. The premises are reserved for people between the ages of 18 and 35. The rooms are clean and modern. Wide choice of dormitories from 4 to 16 beds.

Room was basic and bunk bed had no charging points, no back support. It's very cheap.
The problem was that there was no atmosphere, I just went to my room. There wasn't any common space or lobby to meet people in building. Even the basic thing like water glass or drinking water was missing. Only good thing was location was next to British musuem.
There are only 2 toilets and showers and in morning, I had to wait a lot.
rooms are quite depressing, and we actually booked a hotel 200mt away from it for 10 pounds more each, so price is not the best either.
Service was great until we actually had a complain, unfortunately we decided not to stay as the people in the room behaved very strangely and the room smelled very bad.
when we communicated this the receptionist was super judgmental and responded quite aggressively to the claim, he said this is a hostel, what do you expect. For me this is a terrible argument as ive been to hostels around the world and hostel doesn't need to mean a cheap place that is unsafe, dirty or horrible.
Luckily the manager assisted, and we could come to terms. we paid one night only but we didn't stay any (better to lose some money then having to deal with other issues later)
I would highly recommend if you are a woman to check other options as for example in our case, we were supposed to go in a little room with two guys that were a little strange in a building outside of the main entrance so no reps from the hotel were around. Is really not the best set-up.
