Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

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.

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

Disliked: Amenities

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
