I had to stay in London to visit my friend and open day at the court Chambers near Temple. So I stayed with them for weekend. I started off with this location because my friend had organised a birthday party at Kensington Roof top gardens. And these clubs area are close to this hostel. Closest tube is actually Kensington and... More

Stayed for one night at the hostel. Checked in late on a Saturday evening and was greeted by an unfriendly lady that spoke very poor English and tried to speak some other language to me first. The room keys worked when they wanted and it usually took 3-4 tries to get in. The room had 12 beds, but only one... More

Hefty lady gave out to me on morning I was leaving - very unpleasing: she said I shouldn't be in the building - lovely thing to say, it was only 10.10 a.m. She's a typical Y.H.A. Robot who'd be better employed at a holding centre rather than place of hospitality of which she seemingly has no concept.

yep - Holland Park is worth staying at. As a last minute booking for a Pipe and Drum band it couldnt be faulted. Excellent position in London and staff very friendly. If we are looking for accomodation for next year's St Patricks parade, Holland Park is a definite consideration !!.

I have been in London for over 2 months, experienced several styles of accomodation, and can honestly say that, value for money, you cannot beat Holland Park. The saying, 'you get what you pay for' is relatively true, however, in this instance, HP provides so much more, in the form of extremely clean linen, bathrooms and toilets, and the staff... More

I can't fault the staff, location, security or price, but I thought my room 10 bunk female dorm, was extremely cramped, with beds criss crossing each other,so it felt like sleeping in a 'pod' and the lavatories a good way away, although there was a shower in the room. During the day the location in Holland park is very picturesque,... More

Was very good for what I paid, £14 for a bed in London. Cant complain. Staff very friendly and helped sort my New Years Eve ticket for me, breakfast was great as well, fantastic location in the middle of a park, never know you were in London. Only negative was you had to pay for WIFI, quite expensive,

I was there in December 2012 and early January 2013. I was in a room with a woman who was really crazy. She kept disturbing me at nite because she said I snored too loud. On top of that she used peoples things while they were away, I complained agt the reception but there was no solution. I finally left... More

The hostel to me clearly had a lot of potential but staying here was an overwhelmingly negative experience. On arrival I was assigned a room not in Holland House but above the dingy reception block. There the shower in the room (Room One) reeked of urine with exposed, mouldy insulation, as did the communal toilets. There was a ridiculous amount... More
