Notting Hill Youth Hostel

Had a great stay but may have encountered bed bugs :(. The location is great right near a subway station, you do stay opposite a school so be prepared to be flooded with school children in the morning. Great hosts always wanted to help

Good at this price. The guy at the reception was helpful

This hostel has a really nice and local vibe. It's not very centrally located but I like the neighborhood it's in. There's many delicious food shops nearby. I also had a really good time with my roommates! The bathroom is however a bit dated and the door doesn't properly close, which I'd say is my only downside. For the price you pay however, it's a very good deal!

The hostel is located conveniently with many shops nearby. They have a large common room that’s equipped with hot water, a pool table and several spaces to sit and work or eat. They also sell soft drinks. The dorms are fine. The beds are comfortable and large enough for a tall european. They don’t have curtains but that wasn’t much of a problem as most people just went there to sleep. There was no noise and everyone was very nice. The staff are helpful if you ask. My only caveat is the bathroom. Don’t get me wrong, it has everything one needs and is clean. It’s just not the most luxurious thing. If you are a solo traveler or backpacker who mainly wants a base and a place to sleep this is a great place. If you are looking for something where you would spend the day and have some quality self-time I would recommend to go for something more expensive. With that being said, everything is reasonably good, works and the price is good as well. So for a backpacker like myself I would recommend this place and I’d also stay again myself. Hope this helps someone ;)
