Guest Reviews
- Fostier (9/5): Superbes moments, merci ! - Un accueil vraiment très chaleureux de la part de l'ensemble des membres, un vrai sentiment de sécurité et une ambiance très agréable grâce aux moments proposés en journée comme en soirée ! Merci beaucoup pour tout cela et pour les repas partagés le soir, notamment, qui permettent d'apprendre à connaître nos colocataires éphémères ! J'aurais apprécié un espace détente supplémentaire pour les soirs qu'on espère passer au calme en dehors de la chambre. Mais l'espace commun est très convivial !
- Shekye (10/5): Maddy, Michael and all the staff made our stay so much fun! Would love to come again - The rooms were comfortable and there were multiple showers and toilets. The kitchen is great!
- Ahmed (9/5): - Excellent location
Clean
Very nice staff
- Basel (10/5): Would stay there again whenever I am in London - The staff were awesome & always there to help. Also, the fact that everyone is almost within the same age range made the whole experience litt.
- Blaise (10/5): Would recommend this hostel to anyone and am going to stay here again in the future - The staff were 100% the highlight of my stay at Onefam. They were super kind and welcoming, especially Mikey, Molly and Selena!
- Chloe (10/5): - Staff are so friendly and helpful, the whole place is clean and everyone is lovely!! Location is great, rooms have good storage and the beds were comfy and private. The main shower room is a bit odd considering its mixed gender and there are no cubicles to dress in after getting out of the shower, just the showers and sinks and toilets separately, but I used the smaller shower/toilet on another floor which was okay just quite tiny.
- Eveling Claudia (7/5): - El precio La falta de privacidad
- Ryan (10/5): - The staff were fantastic
- Thiago (9/5): Adorei, pena que fiquei apenas um dia - O atendimento é incrível, as meninas são extremamente pra cima, animadas. As mensagens de whatsapp sempre tem mais letras e rostinho timpo "Hiii :)". Tem eventos e eles são gratuitos para quem está hospedado. Elesmlimitam a idade maxima e isso ajuda porque você que está viajando sozinho consegue se conectar com pessoas de idades parecidas. Cama é confortável, tem cortina, lampada e local para carregar delular na cama. Os banheiros, sobretudo os sanitarios, achei bem apertadinhos. O "buraco" para cadeado da gaveta disponibilizada para guardar as coisas, eu nao consegui usar o meu lá.
- Maquilang (10/5): Really great. I would definitely come back in Onefam Nottinghil. I had a great stay here during my birthday and met incr - Love the location. Easy access to everything and facilities are great.
- Matheus Antonio (10/5): -
- Naoufal (10/5): -
- Myriam (7/5): Great location - The location is amazing and the staff os very friendly. I only stayed for a night but it's a very friendmy hotel The "shower room" if you are only here for a night it,s ok but exept for pne shower the rest of them offer barely any privacy as there is no "dry space" and you directly enter the shower. It would be ok if the bathroom was not mixed... also other shower are located on intermediate levels in the staircases...
- Mohammed (10/5): -
- Greg (10/5): Lowkey fireeeeeee - Everything Nothing
- Ione (10/5): Fabulous. - Everyone was so friendly and the location was amazing. N/A
- Andreas (10/5): Incredible stay with the nicest staff. Had a great time with Fernando, Ahmet and Maddy. -
- Daniel (10/5): Werde zurückkommen! - Ungelogen eines der besten Hostels in dem ich jemals war! Die Betten waren sehr angenehm, jeden Tag wird ein Abendessen zubereitet, welches gratis ist. Es gibt jeden Tag Aktivitäten denen man joinen kann und die Mitarbeiter sind auch super nett.
Mikey get your free beer haha 10/10 Etwas was mir ein wenig negativ auffiel, war der Punkt dass das Hostel relativ klein ist und man im Badezimmer das auch bemerkt, es gibt wenig ablagen und aufs klo muss man sich regelrecht hineinquetschen haha.
- Simon (10/5): - The hostel was great, very positive people and great location. Maddy and Molly were super helpful and fun hosts!
- Luca Maria (10/5): -
- Corrado (10/5): - Onefam Notting Hill is fantastic, position is located on a quite street in notting hill but closely you can shops, pubs and diner. The restrooms and the showers are clean and the beds confortable, every bed has tend for the privacy and the drawers can ve locked with a badlock.
The guys at the reception are incredible,always smiling, focusing on helping you to ensure your best stay and they make great dinners and great parties around london. Real special thank to Max and Lucille, they make our weekend in london unforgettable. Thank you!
- Leo (10/5): - El personal y las actividades realizadas por el hostel. Podría haber más baños, en general debería haber mínimo una ducha cada 4/6 personas y hay 3 para todo el hostel.
- Adrianna (10/5): - The staff were just so lovely, and so helpful. Especially the girl I had the pleasure to meet, actually so involved in the talk about the gig I was going to during my stay x
- Ibrahim (10/5): Amazing! Mikey and the other staff memebers were amazing! - Everything was perfect! NA
- CAROLINA (5/5): Mucha expectativa para lo que era - La ubicación Mucho ruido, había vómito en los pasillos, en relación precio/calidad malo, muy caro para el servicio que ofrecen
- Ibrahim (10/5): Mikey was the best receptionist ever! - Everything was amazing! NA
- Ibrahim (10/5): Mikey was the best receptionist ever! - Everything was amazing! NA
- ABDULHAMID (10/5): The best hostel as always - Location and friendly environment especially from Michael,max and Molly Notting
- Daniel Salama (9/5): - Stuff were very nice and helpful. Location is good too, not far from the underground.
- RASMAL (10/5): -
- Ali (10/5): -
- Sophia (8/5): - friendly and welcoming staff, with good communication for events. good location bit dirty in places. felt like there was an expectation to go out drinking each evening
- Nicola (10/5): TOP! Super consigliato - Ostello fantastico! Ho conosciuto un sacco di persone nuove nonostante il mio inglese non fosse uno dei migliori, viene offerta tutti i giorni la cena e vengono fatte delle attività tutti insieme. Ovviamente si puo partecipare alla "vita" comunitaria come si puo godere della tranquillità se uno non vuole. Unica cosa il mio materasso era troppo "molle", al limite del sfondato, un piccolo dettaglio negativo in una marea di cose stra positive, super consigliato
- Sarah (10/5): Loved it - It’s such a great hostel to stay at!
Maddy took such great care of me all weekend.
We liked it so much that we are now staying at the other OneFam in London (Waterloo) and also heading to the one in Porto later this week!
I’ve stayed at hostels throughout the world, and OneFam def sets itself apart from the rest! The stairs lol we were on the 5th floor but it was so worth it. Our room on the top floor was sooo quiet and we had our window open the whole time.
- Samantha (8/5): Très chaleureux et bien placé mais propreté tout juste ok - Les activités communes et les repas aident vraiment à échanger avec les autres, ce qui est génial. Étant partie en voyage seule pour la première fois, j’ai pu rencontrer plein de gens et ne jamais me sentir seule. L’auberge est idéalement située, le quartier est magnifique. Les sanitaires sont très sales, il y a toujours une forte odeur d’urine. Le matelas et les oreillers avaient l’air d’avoir déjà bien vécu.
- A. Leywin (10/5): -
- Gabrielly (10/5): -
- Fotis (10/5): -
- benjamin (10/5): - The team at Onefam makes your stay at the hostel incredible! They take care of every detail: organizing group activities, providing breakfast recommendations, and always welcoming you with great energy.
Gracias por todo Maddy!!
- Jerôme (10/5): - I had such a great time at this hostel! The facilities were amazing, but the highlight was definitely the staff. Mikey at the reception was the best ever – super helpful and made me feel welcome from the second I walked in. 10/10 service, I want to come back already! -
- James (10/5): - Bed curtains
- Guest (10/5): -
- Alessandra (10/5): Bellissimo esperienza -
- Jake (9/5): Casual and fun, would stay again. - The location was great, close to a ton of restaurants and public transportation. Hostel staff was super helpful, Maddy especially gave me a bunch of useful suggestions for my trip. The showers and toilets are very small and cramped.
- vinicenteno (10/5): -
- massimiliano (8/5): -
- Leopold (7/5): - Für den sehr günstigen Preis sollte man keine Wunder erwarten. Das Hostel tut was soll.
Schön ist die Möglichkeit abends für kleines Geld Abendessen zu bekommen.
Die Kommunikation funktioniert während des Aufenthalts erfolgt überwiegend über WhatsApp. Die Toiletten und die Dusche im 2. OG sind sehr eng.
Etwas befremdlich ist, dass man hinterher noch fast in einem Newsletter landen soll.
- Sebastian (10/5): Really awesome experience, if I find myself back in London I will be returning for sure. - The facilities and the culture. The staff are super welcoming, helpful and inclusive. Special mention to Mikey, made me feel at home and was an awesome host. Super friendly and knows the area very well. The multiple flights of stairs to get to the rooms
- Artem (10/5): - Had a great stay! Everything was clean, there were nice social dinners and activities, and Lucille was especially helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
- Stone (10/5): Thank you to Maddy for going the extra mile to help out! - Staying at OneFam is a great experience with interesting guests from all over the world. Amazing volunteers / workers taking care making sure everyone feels safe and included. I truly appreciated the hospitality from receptionists like Maddy who start up conversation when coming back to the building. OneFam is a 10/10 experience.
- Sebastian (10/5): - One of the most amazing hostels I've ever stayed in !
I loved the daily events including sightseeing and delicious food in the evening, the party games in those the stuff like Mikey and Maddy and as well the others took care that everyone enjoys and no one felt left behind.
I felt welcome there in the very first minute !
Definitely recommend staying there to find friends, good talks, and party. That I couldn't stay longer....
- Briggite Milagros (10/5): -
- Glen (10/5): Clean and comfortable. - Staff were very friendly.
- Jakob (9/5): Super kind staff, fun activities, great location. - Super kind staff, fun activities, great location.
- Ethan (10/5): Great Vibes - Thought the location and neighbourhood of the hostel was great, the daily tours and events were great for socialising, and the free dinner every night never disappointed. But the main highlight was the staff. The whole team deserves praise, but wanting to give particular shout outs to Lucille, Olivia, Maddy, Mikey, and Asante, all of whom made me feel very welcome and were able to give good recommendations for food and sightseeing. Even ended up extending my trip just to stay in the hostel longer, cant wait to be back Nothing
- Dominik (10/5): - All stuff super nice including Mike and another girls at the reception and programme leading
Great daily and night time activities Just positive experience
- Magdalena (10/5): - If you want to connect to new people and like to party, it's the right place for you. I had the best time at Onefam. It is so a social place and it was easy to find new friends. Like the name said, it's a kind of Family there. All the staff members a great and fun, especially Maddy did a phantastic job. Definitely come back to a Onefam Hostel.
- Quelennec (8/5): - L'équipe est très accueillante. Maddy nous a accueilli et était très amicale à notre arrivée.
L'auberge propose de nombreuses activités gratuites.
- Naomi (10/5): - By far the best hostel that I have ever stayed in! It’s located in the prettiest location with the most friendly staff, comfortable beds and a walking tour, free family dinner and pub crawl on everyday. It’s extremely easy to meet great people here. Would highly recommend! Nothing
- Li (10/5): -
- Jonathan (2/5): Affordable with great social vibes, but zero support in an emergency. - For a budget stay, this hostel offers decent value. One thing that stood out is their great lineup of varied social activities and daily outings. I didn’t join them myself, but it’s a really cool offering if you're looking to meet people and explore. The hostel is located in a nice and safe area, with plenty of public transport and food options nearby. My biggest issue was a security incident. Two of my credit cards were stolen from my room while I was taking a shower (the only brief moment I left them unattended). While I fully understand that securing personal belongings in a shared hostel environment is ultimately my own responsibility, the lack of support from the staff was deeply disappointing.
I asked if they could check the hallway cameras just to see who had entered or left the room during that specific timeframe. The receptionist took down my name and said they would look into it, but it felt like she only wrote it down to make it look like she was doing something. There was no actual follow-up, and the final response I received was just a dismissive, "We are very sorry. We can't do anything."
I wasn't expecting them to magically recover my cards, but when you are hundreds of kilometers away from home and feeling vulnerable, you at least hope for a bit of basic empathy and assistance from the place you are staying. Keep this in mind if you decide to book here. The facilities do reflect the low price tag. The mattresses, for instance, are way too soft and already have a permanent dent in them, making it tough to find a comfortable sleeping position.

- Sophie (10/5): Unreal Hostel, with the best vibes!! - 10/10 Hostel, my first hostel experience and was absolutely amazing. All of the staff were incredibly fun and kind and so welcoming.
Super social and inclusive, with everyone always welcome to join both the day and nighttime activities, all the guests were super friendly also. Everything was always super clean!!
Mikey, Maddy and Poppy were amazing, brought the best vibes and were so accommodating!!
- Sergio (10/5): - Todo muy limpio y correcto, buena ubicación y súper social
- Erica (9/5): -
- Pablo (10/5): Great experience, and amazing company! - The place was tidy, clean and above everything else, full of lovely and friendly people! Including guests and the people working at the facilities N/A
- Loïc (9/5): - I kinda love everything the personal was really cool shoutout to Michael Maddy Lucille and the other I sadly don’t have your name but really good atmosphere Kinda far from the center but honestly it could be worst
- Anne-Kathrin (9/5): - Really friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Especially Maddy at reception does a brilliant job and was incredibly helpful and attentive.
- Aleksandra (10/5): Stay was nice. - Evening and night activities where great. The whole stuff was nice and helpful. Maddy was the most kind and helpful person that I have ever met in the hostel. There should be shelfes in every bed and hangers in the rooms - it will be helpful to store the personal belongings.
- Stephanie K (10/5): Absolutely stunning - Absolutely amazing, the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was very clean, and the receptionists were very kind, Lucille was incredibly lovely.
100/10 the beds are quite spacious and have curtains, which give you more privacy. The bathroom and shower are a great size and very clean.
The location is excellent, with very easy access to the Underground and buses just a few minutes walk away.
- Itay Gutlansky (10/5): - This hostel really has good vibes and good people. The staff is super friendly and nice, especially Maddy! The location is a bit far from the center, but 8 minutes to the metro was easy
- Ibrahim (10/5): - Everything! This was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at! The staff members are amazing! Fran was amazing and made this stay 20 times better. Dylan is an amazing friendly person and gets along with all the guests. Lucille and Olivia were really friendly and I enjoyed everything about the hostel.
- Alessia (10/5): -
- Elena (10/5): -
- Schubert (10/5): - The employees were nice and Maddy was really welcoming at the reception. I had a great time hanging out and partying with everyone of them:)
I made great friends
- Lourdes (8/5): - La modalidad de que tienen de hacer diferentes actividades para los huéspedes. Un poco la limpieza. Había baños que no estaban en condiciones de uso y muchas veces estaban sucios
- Senay (8/5): Some areas of improvement - Highly recommend for the social activities if you're under 25! If I have to complain about anything, the bathrooms were often times dirty, especially after the 8pm pregame! It'd be beneficial to do a quick wipe down after everyone leaves to party
Also, it's a shame that the kitchen is closed from 6pm till 9pm (this should be listed on your FAQ since I wouldn't have booked had I known). The TV area also closes pretty early :(
- Théo (9/5): - L'accueil chaleureux, la localisation et la cuisine accessible. Les serrures des douches sont en mauvais état mais c'est un détail.
- SONE (10/5): - I had the best time staying here — it was a great experience. The atmosphere was welcoming and everything made my stay really enjoyable. A special thanks to Maddy and Michael, who helped a lot and made things much easier. I’d definitely recommend this hostel!
- Mare (10/5): - Maddy, Michael and Lucille were great hosts! Really friendly and helpful. This was my second time at OneFam and I had the best time once again! Will for sure come back again in the future.
- Anna Lerong (10/5): Stay at Onefam Notting Hill - Onefam Notting Hill has been the best decision for my first solo trip in London. Not only because of the facilities, but for the workers and their aim to help since the moment you step in and the vibe of the people that are hosted in Onefam. They offer activities so you can feel integrated in the group each day, on the morning and on the night. Big thanks to Maddy and Michael, who were in charge during my stay at Onefam and made my experience the best it could’ve been! 🫂✨ If I had to complain about something it’d be about the space in some of the bathrooms, never had one door that close to my face first time in the morning… Still, this is just me complaining about something; it really wasn't that dramatic.
- Jennifer (6/5): The heavy drinking is not my scene, but if that's what you're into then it would be a fun choice. - They have free towels and free luggage storage available--the latter even after you have checked out. Along with the free (veggie) dinners every night made by staff, it is a very cost-effective stay. The laundromat was out of order. The other guests were a mixed bag, I met some great people, but there was also a depressed man using the hostel for some kind of bender. Most guests were just there to party and drink every night.
- Donna (10/5): Reccomend - I agree with every good reviews about this hostel, 10/10, recommend. The hostel has everything i wished for, and what i expected. The room that i got had a nice view, and we had a large window that we could open, so there was good ventilation which meant that the air inside the room was not stuffy.
- Jana (10/5): Gran experiencia para conocer gente - La estancia fue genial, lo que más destaco es el team y las ganas con las que organizan todas las actividades. La manera de dinamizar las actividades y la energía que transmite muy buen rollo.
Está muy bien situado y las instalaciones son buenas.
- Ester (7/5): -
- Takumi (10/5): Nice staff - This hotel is located in a quiet residential area, so you’ll be able to sleep soundly before you even start counting sheep. And the staff are wonderful. I’m especially grateful to Maddy for her kind help. It would be even better if there were a hair dryer.
- yeonatan (9/5): - Super social and good vibes

- Rodolfo (10/5): - The staff is fantastic!!
- Adina (9/5): Great hostel - Super social hostel. The staff are nice, helpful, and plan lots of activities. The beds were comfortable and the hostel was clean. Also had a great location in a quiet and pretty neighborhood. The showers didn't drain very well. Pretty minor, just the drains probably need to be cleaned out.
- Jenna (10/5): I stayed here 3 years ago and I really enjoyed it. But it’s even nicer now, with new comfortable beds. Def recommend as - Great staff. Super comfy beds. Yummy dinners. Beautiful neighborhood. Good vibe.
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Junheok (10/5): -
- Tea (10/5): - Everything! Great food, great entertainment, brilliant location, cozy vibes, comfy beds... what more could you ask for? Shout out to the staff for making the atmosphere so nice, especially Michael! Also, if you're a woman travelling solo, you'll feel safe and comfortable there :)
- Carla (10/5): - Es perfecto para estancias tanto con amigos como solo porque tienen un montón de actividades para viajeros y para hacer que se conozca la gente del hostal. Cuando vuelva a Londres definitivamente me volveré a alojar aquí.
