Guest Reviews
- Janessa (2/5): - The room had no heat in the mixed room and the bathrooms were filthy.
- Lewis (8/5): - Excellent location for shops, transport and the park for a walk. The staff I met were very nice and helpful. The social area was great with lots of room etc. and the facilities in/for the dorms were good. I wish there were notices (on the walls or on the paperwork), however, asking people to be considerate of others. Playing games on telephones/eating noisily are no fun for others at well past midnight when you're trying to sleep. It's bad enough with snorers!
- John (8/5): - PHOTO ID REQUIRED - not stated until arrival. This is a hostel and we were required to provide photo ID (passport/driving license) on arrival which were NOT stated in any hotels.com literature provided. Usually in the UK you are never required to carry these documents but luckily we had passport photocopies available on email on our phones. Staff were fine, location was great, room was noisy as underneath a multi-occupancy hostel room with people arriving and clomping about until all-hours.
- Tofael (2/5): - When I was booking here mentioned one room but There was a lot of beds in a single room & No toilet facilities in my floor.
- Husein (8/5): - немного нечистый
- Muhammad Uzair (10/5): - Excellent location room clean and nice good environment and friendly people
- Kerstin (6/5): - The conditions of hostel were shabby as wefe tbe imediate grounds. The showers smelled of urine. Everything could use some care. The location was the positive and staff receptive.
- Nathalie (2/5): - No internet in the room, bedbugs and bathroom disgusting.
- Abbey (2/5): - bedbugs. they had bedbugs. i am covered in bites. also the power socket at my bed didnt work for my entire trip. despite asking the front desk for help, they offered no alternatives and the socket was never fixed over my multiple night stay. however the location in the park is beautiful and its not far from the high street kensington tube station
- Carol Mae (8/5): - Central location.
- Doreen (10/5): - Staff were very nice and helpful. I felt safe here as this was my first hostel experience which I was extremely anxious about but i have been put right at ease. Met some lovely people here as well. The location is ideal, very good bus links into Central London. Tube station within walking distance and theres shops everywhere for essentials, all within walking distance.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Average Stay – Basic but Not Comfortable - Overall, my stay at this hostel was pretty average. The facilities are basic, nothing particularly noteworthy. Unfortunately, it wasn’t very comfortable—I struggled to sleep because guests would come into the room making a lot of noise late at night. The breakfast offered (a croissant, ham, and coffee for £8) wasn’t very nourishing or good value. If you’re looking for a place just to crash for a night or two it’s fine, but don’t expect much in terms of comfort or atmosphere.
- Faith (6/5): - Beautiful setting. Convenient location. Seemed clean however I woke up on the morning after my first night covered in about 20 bug bites clearly from something in the bed.
- Lina (2/5): Bad hostile - This was the most horrible place I have ever stayed at. The staff were rude and arrogant. And I did not appreciate them at all. I do not recommend them at all.
- joann (10/5): Nice one night stay - Really enjoyed my stay. I did have a 4 bed dorm to myself so not sure what it would have been like if I'd have shared as this was my first hostel experience. Staff were really nice and the facilities were great. Nice surroundings and very chilled vibe. Would definitely stay again
- Jody (10/5): Fantastic - Perfect! Fantastic from start to finish
- Tracey A (4/5): - From the night I arrived, I kept getting bug bites while in the reception area and bathroom. I reported it to the staff and send photos of the bites as they suggested to management. Didn’t hear anything for two days. I was scratching so badly and couldn’t sleep well because of the bites and woke up in the middle of the night to find a huge bed it crawling on my shirt. I immediately went to reception to report it and they assigned me a new bed in the same room. I assumed they would fumigant or take down the curtain next to my bed which I told them I suspected was were the bugs were living. Later that night when going to bed, I noticed they had assigned the bed to someone else and the curtain was still up. So they clearly don’t care about addressing the issue properly. I suspect they also have bugs in the reception area too as anytime I send along a wall, I had several new bites. I learned to sit in the middle of the room after that. Management didn’t apologize for the trouble. Besides the biting issue which turned my dream vacation to London into a nightmare, the wi-do didn’t reach the room in which I was staying so had to stay near reception tk use it. Mark on the staff was very nice and quite helpful through my ordeal. Had breakfast one morning and that was good. Property is quite and occasional the opera next door has a performance and you can hear it from the courtyard. Great location and easy to reach bus lines and tube stations. Was able to go over all the city from here
- Tony (8/5): - Great location for parks and recreation
- Cynthia (8/5): - Fair price
- Yangsong (4/5): - It’s not hotel. It’s more like an upgraded camp side. You have to buy bath towels, shampoo, soap, etc from them.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Poor service and loud - The floor made our socks black. We had to wait ages for someone to be able to check us in. So loud, we stayed in a 3 bed room with only one other room above us but the doors slam at every open, meaning each time the room upstairs decided to go out and back in again (which was a lot), it was heard throughout the night.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Rats around the rooms - Worst place to stay.
- Chris (8/5): - Overall a pleasant experience, clean and simple place to stay. I haven't stayed at a hostel before, but this place made me much more comfortable with the experience and will stay there again in the future.
- Lesley (2/5): Worst place for random night out if no physical ID - I had booked a night having stayed a bit late after work in London but was refused to stay as didnt have a passport or driving license, even though i had a digital valid Totum student card and a work photo ID. Who carries their passport or license to work!! As if someone if a driver license is more reliable than other forms of ID.
- Martin (10/5): Great hostel - Great hostel, very clean and lovely helpful staff was a little hard to find but once we did it was pretty obvious
- Timothy (6/5): - It is a nice place for the amount
- Joshua (8/5): - Solidly good hostel- especially considering the price. Had a few issues, with my keycard not worked twice after I extended my stay, but the staff was very helpful and polite.
- Verified traveler (10/5): 10/10 - Exceptional
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place to get ya head down, no dramas no fuss
- Verified traveler (10/5): Good vibes - 10/10
- Verified traveler (2/5): Bed Bug Infestation - Room 214 had bed bug infestation.I booked for 10 days but had to leave after three days after findind out the source of my skin allergy.
- Joanne (10/5): - Have stayed here a few times now, but this was my ‘favourite’ to date. The rooftop terrace was a very welcome surprise and gave me views of the park I would never have seen. The fact the Opera was on at the same time was the icing on the cake! The People working this time were as friendly as ever. Thoroughly recommend staying here to anyone looking for somewhere central that is very budget friendly and clean.
- Helena (4/5): - The double room is very small (the door hits the bed as you walk in) and room is located on the walk in from the property front gate - unsafe alone at night and hear everyone walking past the window.
- Deepak (6/5): - Property not well maintained and needs updating. Person at today’s check in was quite rude. I checked in around 9 pm and asked him for directions to nearby places to eat. He just said go out and either turn right or left and walk 3 minutes. I asked for more detail than that since I am new to the area and he did not answer, just ignored me and started attending to another customer and did not bother to answer me. When I reminded him that he had not answered me, he got upset and told me I was being rude and will be reported!
- Grace (10/5): - Toilet was locked on our level
- Sarah (10/5): - Great hostel, really nice area. We stayed in a 4 bed en suite and it was a good sized room. We were provided with our own towels and kettle. The outside area is lovely. Would stay here again
- Deepak (6/5): - Close to transit. Nice gardens around. Not far from shopping, restaurants etc. Old property not fully maintained. Washrooms not clean
- Rosh (8/5): Go to the place early if its your first time - I book a stay for a night since I'm gonna be watching a concert. The area is a bit hard to locate since it's located inside a park. The staff were helpful. I completely forgot to bring my passport with me (good thing was the man who's in the front desk was being understanding and accepted the photo and my e-visa). The size of the bed is fine for a single person you just need to be careful with your head if you're on the lower bunk bed. The bed and the sheets were clean. The floor is a bit dirty the time I checked in though (I need to sit on the floor to sort the things out of my bag since you can't sit on your bed with your upper body straight. There's only 1 toilet with shower on our floor but then, you can go to other toilets. I'm having a bit of a problem with the shower since there's no thermostat and I find the water way too hot for me.
- Don (6/5): - Good enough for a quick stay for a good price. Very noisy with a lot of children out screaming in the courtyard just outside the sleeping room windows at 6:30am for some reason. Staff was not doing anything to quiet them, despite all the signs regarding quiet hours and respecting your roommates. There were also people smoking directly outside our room's open window. Lots of room for improvement here.
- N (10/5): - Beautiful environment and lovely staffs
- Deneyia (2/5): - This is a small hostel located in the middle of a very large park. They don’t provide any directions. There are two total entrances Hyde park each a long walk to find the property which is not easily located. The one entrance is a steep hill that bikers are going up and down. It’s unsafe and dark even in the daytime. The park near it is beautiful. The rooms are poorly ventilated and the beds are not appropriate for anyone with disabilities or that are short. They will book you without saying this even if you ask questions and they won’t accommodate you or work with you on a refund after you arrive and discover this. I hope they let me post photos. When I arrive there were so many people with disabilities and ambulation issues in the lobby begging for refunds and water because it was hot and difficult to find in a national park. They should be ashamed of themselves and so should Expedia for allowing them to continue booking people without these warnings posted.
- Richard (10/5): - Any negatives were far outweighed by location and the atmosphere. I didn’t want to leave as I loved living in the park!
- Marcus (2/5): Sleepless - Very noisy all night hard to sleep no respect for other guests avoid.
- Anna (8/5): - While not the fault of the hostel, my stay was ruined by a very noisy person in the dorm. I have never shared a room with someone so inconsiderate.
- William (10/5): Great value - We stayed Friday - Monday for London marathon weekend.
- TIMOTHY (10/5): Amazing deaf friendly place - This place was very accommodating and even went the extra mile to accommodate me given my disability. I was super impressed with the staff and their courteous behaviour towards me as a Deaf person. This says a lot about this establishment and their selection of staff. This has to be by far one of the best places I have stayed in to date for their kindness and friendliness towards deaf people. It’s a big deal for someone like me. The only complaint I would have is the other occupants of the room being chaotic with their dumping of bags right next to the beds so I would have to navigate them in the middle of the night. This aside I have rated as fairly as I can.
- Saleem (6/5): nice quiet location - friendly helpful staff nice location and room
- Wei (2/5): Expensive hidden costs - Stayed over a few nights. The purposes of choosing this hostel suppose to be economic and try to save up some costs. Firstly laugh or any kicthen, just a few desks if you prefer est in rather spend lots of money est out. Foods are no allow in the room, also no hot water and microwave as well. Personal experiances - Highly recommended some where else as in their are charging a huge price for your storage cost. And the unfriendly front desk staff no even giving the right trainning to give the right information. 3 of us are struggling for the expensive storages charges and actually there are a 2 pounds locker services which they never telling us. And the lady are refusing to admitted even we find out this information with a "no care" attitude. If you are after a nice quiet evironment, this is a good place to sleep but not a good customer friendly and warm welcome positive place for your holiday if this is the case!! Could be cheap cost for sleep at this hostel but when adding the storage cost if you got some baggages, some where else could be better!
- Mehrunnisa (10/5): - First time in a hostel , felt very safe and it was very clean too . 10/10 would recommend . For the price the location and the accommodation was very good
- Sancha (10/5): - The room just only for female not mixed
- Joseph (8/5): - It was a work booking, I only spent few hours overnight, left by 0600.
- Kader (4/5): - No internet in room ! Very inconvenient
- Miguel (10/5): - Great place .actually my favourite in London
- Imran (6/5): - Scam
- Saleem (8/5): nice location - friendly staff nice clean room.
- Mohammad (10/5): - Good behavior staff and very clean rooms and transportation near here
- David (4/5): - Hostel equivalent of spirit airlines. Both you and the staff know they are there because they don't have better options
- Amal Jose (2/5): - Staff was very rude
- MD ZUBAER AZIZ (2/5): - Simply horrendous
- MD ZUBAER AZIZ (2/5): - Avoid at any cost,whole hostel is full of junkies,people doing drugs every corner,in 2 nights i was there police came in atleast 4 times,not safe for girls/women specially,although they clearly mention no “no check ins after 10pm” the staff have let ppl check in after 12 as well ,so you wont be able to sleep, staff will give you access cards which wont work,will give you beds where someone else is sleeping,last but not least this is a steep climb from holland park station approx 15 mins and you wont find this place as there is a tiny sign at the side of the park, but no where it says “ safestay hostel” or anything, when we were checking in there were 12ppl checking in and only 2 staff who quite conveniently disappeared while arguing with each other, in a nutshell anything but safe,horrendous mockery of a hostel!
- sergio (10/5): - Excellent for my needs
- sergio (10/5): - Easy and friendly
- ANTONYRAJ (10/5): - Good
- Wojciech (8/5): - Great place to stay
- PENI (10/5): Best Hostel in London - Enjoyable
- marie (4/5): Standards are slipping - Iv been stying here for 12 years and never had to complain before..showers in femal ensuite dirm bot working..shoulhave been made clear before or a partial refund offered...also floors are dirty, especially under the beds.just stayed one night and iv got three bed bug bites..room need a deep clean..very disappointed
- Philip (8/5): - The price is right for a room in central London. However, be advised that there is no maid service and you will have the same sheets and towels for the duration of your stay. Finding the place is also a bit tricky so email ahead for directions.
- Missy (10/5): - Mo and Sara exceptionally helpful. Mo talked me through directions using google maps at midnight as I was lost. The dorms are spacious compared to other accomodation. Bed is comfortable and cosy linen. Bathroom is spacious and clearn modern. 24hr reception as I locked myself put staff are friendly. Vending machines and lounge area
- Ethan (10/5): - It was an easy walk to good places, near a lonely park with a cafe for breakfast.
- Moon (10/5): - Lovely stay
- Abdullah (10/5): - Perfecto
- Ibukunoluwa Maria (8/5): - The cleanliness of the hostel is fantastic. Really enjoyed my stay. Easy accessibility to transportation. Good customer service
- Abdullah (10/5): - everythinh
- Abdullah (10/5): - Amazing
- Verified traveler (2/5): - The ad said the windows were open and facing the park, but the sidewalk passed by my windows and door, and there were sewers and manhole covers on the sidewalk. In the middle of the night, people walked across the sidewalk dragging suitcases, and the suitcase wheels made a loud noise. Advertising is fraud. I demand compensation.
- Isabella (4/5): - Would definitely not recommend this place for solo females. Labelled a “youth hostel” but I felt like the youngest person there by far. To get into the common area and my room I had to walk past groups of significantly older people (I would say most looked above 40) smoking/drinking etc, one guy was fully passed out. Didn’t make me feel safe at all. I got the vibe that they weren’t even travellers, just looking for a cheap place to stay. This also made it really difficult to socialise, as the hostel didn’t put on any social events. Location wise it was good, close to Kensington Gardens. Not overly close to a station and being located in a park made it really difficult and unsafe at night, given that Holland Park locks most of its gates. Due to no communication about this from the staff, I spent one night walking the entire perimeter of Holland Park which you can imagine was quite scary in the dark, alone. Overall rooms were fine, except for the shower which was so poorly designed the floor was wet the entire time and only one temperature. Lockers were also broken. Would not stay again and highly recommend that you don’t either
- Gbenga (8/5): - Nice place but not easy to locate.
- Samuel (6/5): - The location of the hostel is fantastic in that it is in a beautiful park and in a very safe neighbourhood. It is at the top of a pretty steep hill (if approaching from the North). The lounge area can get a bit cramped as there is only one. The washrooms are tight but work - though the water cut out several times for myself and others during showers/brushing teeth. The expedia advertisement states a gym (though now looking through other websites' listing they don't) - but it doesn't have a gym. WiFi works okay, I didn't try the breakfast.
- Luke (10/5): - Clean and tidy, well maintained facilities, lovely surroundings. Super cheap for the lication.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Just wanna u know that this is a hostel not a hotel even it’s listed on Hotels.com. The place is inside of Holland park, so u do need to walk a little bit to reach the place. The area itself is very nice. It’s quiet and safe. The beds are all on the firm side. We booked a private room, so we had our own shower. You have to keep pushing the button to get water out, so it’s very frustrating for us whenever u take a shower. They did offer our private room towels. Otherwise you have to pay to have it.
- aa (8/5): - Nice staffs.
- Francesca (8/5): - It was absolutely great for the price i paid. It was a pleasant stay.
- Chiaki (6/5): - It was a little difficult to climb a ladder
- Sadiq (10/5): - Whe need a kitchen or a public fridge
- Jenny (6/5): Great location and super cheap - Great hostel and excellent value for money ! Only £15 per night . Best location from all the ones I tested in summer . Just be prepared for the insane noise of all the youngsters at night sometimes it feel it is a stable rather than a hostel
- Haitham (10/5): - I want to book with you again from 8/19 to 8/26
- Jeremy (8/5): - Unique setting with the opera next door, which could hear from my dorm room. Good beds with adequate light & sockets, easy to find and great location for many different sights
- Andrew (10/5): - Great property in a great location
- ERIC (8/5): Good place but tricky to ge it! - I stayed for 2 nights and the room was very comfy and the bed was great. My only problem was that I never saw and nobody told me the the Holland park will close all the gates at some point of the day. There I was at 8:45 pm looking to see if i could get in to the hostel and walking around the park. I ended up jumping 2 fences because the only leave just 1tiny entrance to it. It was very inconvenient not knowing about it. Besides that everything else was good. Will i stay again?? Yes, cuz i already know how to get in and out.
- Carol (10/5): - I love the history of the Holland Park hostel, which is set in the park created by Lord Holland, who inherited the 17th Century Holland House from Sir Walter Cope, who built it on the land that is now Holland Park. The gardens and multiple areas used for a variety of activities are beautiful. I have stayed there in 2020, and the changes made are significant when you get over being unable to find your way around.
- Sophie (6/5): - Property is easy to walk to, can be noisy, room cleanliness average.
- Po Yan (8/5): - Surrounded by a park is both a pro for day, con a bit scary going home night time
- Rawle (10/5): - I loved the location in the middle of Holland Park.
- Debbie (8/5): Good Customer Service - The customer service was great. The room was clean. Bed comfortable. Negative points: (1) No hot water in the shower (2) The building sits within a city park. You must walk through the park to get to the building. The taxi cannot drive through the park
- Verified traveler (4/5): No option for hot water throughout - The environment is okay, there is no microwave access but thats not the issue. Dont ever plan to use the showers. The entire hostel does not have hot water. Get it- Its not like hot water is broken, there is simply no option for it. Its only cold water from all the taps and shower. I'd never use this place again
- Kelly (4/5): - Was put in room 11 and barely got any sleep at all with people coming in and out late night and early morning
- Nicholas (10/5): - The place is really nice. staff were very welcoming and very helpful with questions I had. There is a really good vibe around the place. If you want a hostel in a great place, this is the place.
- Jean-Jacques Paul Bonga-B (8/5): Mr - Very good emplacement facilities transport, park, shops
- Marie (4/5): Not worth the cost despite the nice location. - Everything is just barely okay, it's not incredibly dirty but also not very clean. Several days bins weren't emptied and shower not cleaned. Staff isn't motivated to do a decent job and no one checks their work. Most of the curtains in the room were broken, mattresses on the bed are covered in plastic (like in prisons) so they are noisy and hot to sleep on. Lots of smokers outside day and night, mostly young men who seem to hang out all day. You are not allowed to bring in outside food or drink and there are no cooking facilities so be prepared to eat all your meals out or eat in the pricey cafe on site. The hostel charges for everything, even bag storage if you arrive before check in time. £3 per bag. While the hostel is in a nice location it's not worth the money.
- John (10/5): - Perfect hostel!
