Holland House Youth Hostel

YOUTH-hostel = NO sleep

Drunken & horny teenage groups all night long.

Anything more to say?

Hostel close to centre

I've stayed in the Holland Park youth hostel a few times over the past few years. I have been with a group and the group dorms are in the rather nice listed building that you see on the photographs. Smaller rooms are in the main 1970s style building. The location is great and in the centre of Holland Park you can spend some time in the park for your green fix. I don't think that there is any parking though. I found the hostel clean, the food good value, staff helpful, everything was fine really for us but as it was a group of 40 teenagers maybe not for everyone else staying there LOL. I suppose your choice depends on how close you want to be to the centre of London. The photos of Lea Valley look to have a much more 'out of town' feel compared to Holland Park so that would be a bonus but then again I think London has so many great parks that traveling out of the city would not appeal to me.

400 years beauty for 20 pounds!

In the middle of Holland park hides the hostel named Holland Park hostel.
Very nice place , breakfast are included in price and whats important when staying in London - you can come and leave anytime! Reception 24 hrs! Internet though is expencive , would suggest using it in town - lots of places to choose from - much cheaper.

Ideal for those interested in visiting museums

Some 6-8 bedded rooms, but mostly 12-20 bedded rooms. Meals available include breakfast, picnic lunch and evening meal. The evening meal is served from 5pm.

Unique Quality: One wing of the hostel is a former Jacobean mansion, built in 1607 for Sir Walter Cope, Chancellor of the Exchequer for James I. In the 19th century, Lady Holland had a salon here, attended by such famous names as Sheridan, Sir Walter Scott, Lord Byron, Wordsworth and Dickens.
Large, comfortable rooms that overlook the park. You may be in a historic old building or an uglier concrete one
YHA Holland House is part of the Youth Hostel Association and membership of this organisation or the International Youth Hostel Federation is required. It can be purchased on arrival.

My Favourite Youth Hostel

My stay, for about a week, in Holland House was my best days in London.

This youth hostel allowed me to meet the most unforgettable people I met during my trip, with who I shared my visit of the city, every day.

I've been welcomed like no other hostels or B&B. So far.

Unique Quality: Rated 3 stars on YHA site.

The hostel is right in Holland Park, a park in the western part of London. It feels like sleeping in the country. It's very quiet.

Two wings can be found at the hostel, one of them has been built in 1607 (where I slept!) .

It has picnic tables outside, plus a cafeteria, which gives you the choice of eating inside or outside.

You can also cook your own meals in the kitchen the hostel has, or buy a meal at the cafeteria.

Breakfast is included.

No curfew.

• Opinion of Price: less expensive than average

HOLLAND HOUSE

YHA hostel in Holland Park, Kensington, situated in a former Jacobean manion. Kensington is a very nice area and the hostel is convenient for the tube and bus routes as well as being within walking distance of many of the museums & sites in Kensington as well as Hyde Park and local shops including supermarket.

Unique Quality: I was in a dorm with about 12 beds but it didn't feel overcrowded. Each bed is provided with a large locker so belongings are safe enough through the day. Choose from continental or cooked English breakfast. Self catering kitchen but evening meals are also served in the cafeteria. TV room & quiet room plus internet access. Open 24 hours

£21 per night although I got a discount for some reason & it was only £15

There is a youth hostel in Holland Park in South Kensington which offers accomodation for people at a fairly reasonable price. For the price, you got bed and breakfast and shared toilet facilities. Not bad for people on tight budgets.
