Hostel One Notting Hill

"My favourite hostel in London. Close to the Central line so you can easily get to London Bridge, SOHO etc for sightseeing or transfer to Victoria/Paddington station to get to the airport. They offer different tours and outings everyday for free. Washrooms, showers and common areas are super clean, and had no problems during my entire stay. I was traveling alone but I was able to meet lots of other travellers in the great environment. The staff are amazing, and are super friendly. Shoutout to Marta, Andrea, Isabella, Dani, Jonathan, Adam and the rest of the staff for the great time in London. Would definitely stay again!"

"I had a wonderful stay at Hostel One in Notting Hill! I had never stayed at a Hostel before and I think this place may have ruined the rest of them for me, from what I have heard. The showers and bathrooms were so clean, the common space was very fun and cute, the beds were comfortable, and the staff was great. Special shoutout to Staff member Jake who immediately made me and my travel partner feel welcomed. Amazing that it was just his first few days working there! The one warning I will offer is this hostel is a party hostel, so there are lots of younger people and events every night from 8pm (starting with free dinner) until about midnight. This was 100% great for me, but may not be for everyone. Again, 5/5, 1 would 100% recommend Hostel1."

"Absolutely the best hostel in London. It feels like a family! The staff and volunteers are all lovely and welcoming. The common area is great for meeting new people and the free dinners are an unmatched perk. There are organized activities every day so you can go out partying or stay home and relax with others. The beds are comfy and rooms are quiet at night so no problems sleeping."

"I’ve been to 5 other hostels in London and Hostel One Notting Hill is BY FAR the best one. Great rooms and facilities! At all times I saw cleaning staff hard at work. My favorite part of my stay was how easy the staff made meeting other travelers! I made so many friends. Every day the staff held events and games. All the guests were super friendly and I think everyone fed off the energy of this staff. The other hostels I’ve been to had great staff that made sure everyone was comfortable, though Hostel One was the first time I saw a staff that made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. They seem to only hire extremely fun people so they make party planning look easy. I could go on and on though I’ll just give a huge “thank you” to Vanessa, Marta, Laura, Max, Haide, Emily, Isabella, Andrea, Zak and the others who’s names I’m blanking on. Was an absolute joy meeting you all. Thank you for an incredible travel experience! One morning I was downstairs and Marta sat with me in the TV area and we watched Star Wars - I think part of her wanted to watch the show but I also think another part of her wanted me to have a TV buddy. That’s just one example, out of many, of how much heart these people have. If you want to stay in an amazing part of London and make a few friends along the way, I highly highly recommend staying here."

"The staff is very welcoming & inclusive of all ethnicities & identities (including queer identities). Location is also really good. Located in a safe neighborhood which is well connected to all major tourist attractions of London city. All basic services are provided at hostel. Cook your own meals in the hostel kitchen. Free family dinners & post dinner hangouts were the best part during my stay. A very good budget friendly option."
