Hotel Details

Location

A residential street in Earl's Court, within a 5-minute walk of Earl's Court tube station and surrounded by shops, supermarkets, and restaurants.
Earl's Court station is two stops on the District line from Victoria, with the Piccadilly line running directly to Heathrow in about 45 minutes. The hostel is within walking distance of the Natural History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Harrods, and Stamford Bridge. Olympia Exhibition Centre is a 17-minute walk away. The area has several bus routes and many takeaways, pubs, and grocery stores open late, making it practical for late returns. The street itself is residential and helps keep noise down.

Accommodation

Mixed and female-only dormitories plus private double and twin rooms, with either shared or private bathrooms and lockable storage in each room.
Rooms are of varying size, with double and twin rooms offering garden views by request. Each bed has its own reading light and power socket; top bunks can be harder to access due to a straight ladder. Some rooms include a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, while others have shared facilities on the floor. The property is quiet at night, and the garden closes at 10pm. The building is older with carpeted floors; some rooms have a work desk and wardrobe. There is no air conditioning, but a radiator allows adjustable heating.

Dining

A free continental breakfast featuring bread, spreads, cereal, fruit, tea, and coffee is served in the communal kitchen from 7:30 to 9:30.
The breakfast spread includes at least two types of bread (white and seeded), a selection of spreads (apricot, strawberry, honey, Nutella, butter), cornflakes or muesli, milk, fresh fruit, and hot drinks. There is no restaurant on site, but the well-equipped shared kitchen with fridge, cooker, and utensils allows for meal preparation. Numerous eateries, including Thai, sushi, pizza, and fast food outlets, are within a 5-minute walk, as are two supermarkets (Tesco Express and Sainsbury's Local).

Wellness and Leisure

Outdoor relaxation is possible in a peaceful rear garden with seating, while indoor leisure includes a TV lounge with board games and books.
The garden is a quiet space surrounded by trees, ideal for unwinding after sightseeing, and closes at 10pm. The TV lounge offers a library of books, board games, and gaming consoles. Nearby attractions such as Hyde Park, Holland Park, and the Royal Albert Hall provide additional leisure options. There is no pool, spa, or on-site gym.

Facilities and Services

Free WiFi, a shared kitchen, daily housekeeping, laundry (for a fee), and 24-hour security with CCTV are available.
The property offers a shared lounge, sun terrace, and outdoor furniture. Free luggage storage is available on both check-in and check-out days. Laundry is available at an additional charge. The hostel is adults-only (minimum age 18). Key-card and key access, CCTV both inside and outside, smoke alarms, and a safety deposit box are part of the security system. The shared kitchen is fully equipped with utensils, a fridge, and a hob. Hairdryers are available for loan at reception at no cost.
