Holland Park Hostel: "Holland House YHA" Greater London Hotel Tip by leafmcgowan

Accessible via the High street Kensington stations, this historic hostel house is in the heart of Holland Park and is impeded with the park hours, though it has day and night access entrances that loop its members through the park after hours. 201 beds it's built into the Jacobean wing of Holland House and overlooks Holland Park - its very large, very busy, rather institutional looking, but its location is one the best spots in the city. There's a cafe, kitchen, and breakfast is included with the 22/night quid(pound) rate. Friendly staff, lots of information, guides, and directions for wandering around London. Beautiful courtyard with peacocks and chickens wandering around, fish pond, green space, and outside patio. One of the better hostels I've stayed at, and my favorite next to the Jericho Beach Hostel in Vancouver, B.C. which shares similarities. Rating 5 stars out of 5.
