Hostelle - women only hostel London

Tower Hamlets, London

Set in London and with Brick Lane reachable within 1.4 km, Hostelle - women only hostel London offers a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is situated 2.8 km from Victoria Park, 3.1 km from Sky Garden and 3.3 km from Liverpool Street Underground Station. The accommodation features karaoke and a shared kitchen. I don't have words to describe how satisfied I am with my stay at Hostelle. I confess I wasn't expecting so much from it because I've been to quite a lot of hostels and they were not what I thought, to say the least... But since I arrived at Hostelle I felt welcomed, the location is PERFECT, many many stores close by and the station is just around the corner, very reasonable for ones that love to go out and come late at night... Everything was always as clean as a whistle and I don't have anything to talk about! 10/10 to me!

Barmy Badger Backpackers

Kensington, London

Popular points of interest near Barmy Badger Backpackers include Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington Underground Station and Royal Albert Hall. The nearest airport is London City Airport, 20 km from the hostel. Staff is super friendly and accommodating, they accommodated my late night arrival, and kept my bag on the last day until I left for the airport so I wouldn’t have to carry it all day. Breakfast was good, toast, selection of spread, fruits, cereals and tea and coffee. If you’re visiting for the first time and want to do the main attractions in the city centre you’ll have to get a bus or underground at some point but the hostel is a 15 mins walk away from beautiful Hyde Park and a few of the museums. Really convenient Sainsbury supermarket 2 minutes away for essentials and there’s loads of nice places for food in that same street. Common areas are clean, cosy and welcoming. I stayed in a 6 bed room and there’s everything you need there, large locker/wardrobe, the beds are comfortable and the room is pretty large so it doesn’t feel claustrophobic at all even sleeping in the top bunk bed.

Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage 4 stars

Hampstead, London

Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage provides award-winning budget accommodation in a beautiful Victorian Grade II listed building. The Lodge offers a bar and free Wi-Fi access in public areas, just 2 miles from the West End. Did a bit of 'remodeling' post pandemic - beds are more solid, sturdier. The new lockers are a very nice touch, feels more safe to leave luggage behind. Everything else was just like before - everything was clean, beds were comfy.
