Onefam Notting Hill 2 stars

Bayswater, London

Onefam Notting Hill provides accommodation in London near Portobello Road Market and Royal Albert Hall. This is a social party hostel designed for young backpackers and solo travellers. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, free WiFi, and free daily activities and evening events. I had the best time at this hostel. It was my first time in a hostel and solo travelling and I could not have picked a better hostel than this. The stuff is awesome. I loved the social aspect as it helped me to have an amazing time and it was definately never a boring minute. A lot of the reviews have a negative about the showers being small with no space to have your things but once you get there you really do not care about this. You make it work because everything else is amazing. I am definately going again.

YHA London Central 4 stars

Westminster Borough, London

Male and female dormitories at YHA London Central feature bunk beds and have lockers for secure storage of valuables. There are shared bathroom facilities with showers, which in some dorms are en suite. Private rooms are also available. The room was clean and bigger than I thought it would be. Having our own bathroom and shower was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Being able to leave our luggage before and after was incredibly helpful.

Kabannas London St Pancras 4 stars

Kings Cross St Pancras, London

Just across the road from St Pancras Station in the centre of London, Kabannas St Pancras offers easy access to Euston and Kings Cross. There is 24-hour reception, and free Wi-Fi is available.

Rooms are dormitory style and some benefit from an en suite bathroom, while others have shared bathroom facilities. Maybe I shouldn't write this because everyone who reads my review probably wants to stay at Kabannas in the future which will make it harder to get a bed there. I have stayed in a lot of different hostels in London, this was my first stay at Kabannas but definetly not the last. Absolutely the best I've been to in London. Great location, great and friendly staff, clean everywhere, nice showers and toilets and breakfast to a fair price (compared to London prices at the moment). What more do you need?
