Safestay London Kensington Holland Park

We had a great stay with my kids in a private room with a bunk bed. Towels are provided, so no need to bring any. The big plus of this hostel is its excellent location, on the edge of the magnificent Holland Park, where we strolled every evening after our city tours. In this park: squirrels, of course, but also a great playground and a Japanese garden that are absolutely worth seeing.

Overall, the place is nice. However, there are a few things worth mentioning: many windows no longer close, some panes are broken (which means the heating is on full blast to compensate for the cold entering the rooms, which is not very environmentally friendly), the showers attached to our room do not work, and the public showers lack pressure. Also, the 8 euro breakfast is rather poor. However, considering the price we paid, all this is not a big deal in terms of value for money. That said, the beds are comfortable, the sheets are clean, the lockers are secure (remember to bring a padlock), the welcome is warm and the location is ideal, close to a nice park.

Quite special

Hostel far from everything, we changed the bed 3 times. Someone was in our bed and this person was not even part of the inn ... To flee!

The hostel is perfectly located in the middle of the park, it is beautiful with a courtyard / garden very nice. Finally, the rooms are immaculate, the curtains very practical and bathroom very clean.

We arrived at night (29/10/17) due to the schedule of our flight. The two people who greeted us were very rude, not warm at all as we arrived with 5 tired children. Moreover, on the site of "hostel" we can not specify the number of children and we do not have the possibility to reserve a complete room. I booked 7 places so I could detail the reservation. On arrival we are told that it is not possible: that people have been dispatched and as they are children it is not possible to put them with other adults than parents. Is. very good, that's for sure, but I thought we were not separating the groups. But the booking site was not suitable? (To do !!!!) and in the meantime it was 1am .... In short, they finally found us a dirty and wet room ss élecricité. Good the next day they caught up: a room for us 7 (while at night they told us that we should find accommodation elsewhere !! (and I was tt settled by internet) In short, not a chic welcome at all but a good catching up which is certainly the manager, otherwise the place is very nice, the dining area pleasant, the lil bit perfect and the population heteroclytes and friendly.Another negative point: the baggage deposit is completely insecure (all the world has access to the code !!) and very dirty, I think we will not come back, but no regrets.

An excellent address to discover London!
