Onefam Notting Hill 2 stars

Bayswater, London

Onefam Notting Hill provides accommodation in London near Portobello Road Market and Royal Albert Hall. This is a social party hostel designed for young backpackers and solo travellers. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, free WiFi, and free daily activities and evening events. The vibes at OneFam are so chill, and the crew there are like instant friends. They're super welcoming and always down for a chat or to give you the lowdown on the best spots to hit up in Notting Hill and London overall. Making friends here was a breeze. Whether we were bonding over morning coffee in the cozy common area or heading out together to explore Portobello Road, it felt like we'd known each other forever. And let me tell you, the memories we made are ones I'll treasure forever. The hostel itself is a total gem. The rooms are comfy and cute, and I felt totally safe and snug during my whole stay. Plus, being right in the heart of Notting Hill meant I was just steps away from all the cool cafes, and vintage shops. So yeah, if you're a solo traveler looking for a home away from home (with a side of good vibes and great company), I can't recommend OneFam enough. Trust me, it's the kind of place that'll leave you with a smile on your face and a bunch of new friends by your side.

Kings Cross St Pancras, London

Just across the road from St Pancras Station in the centre of London, Kabannas St Pancras offers easy access to Euston and Kings Cross. There is 24-hour reception, and free Wi-Fi is available.

Rooms are dormitory style and some benefit from an en suite bathroom, while others have shared bathroom facilities. The location is very good, as the nearest station has not only the underground, but also national rail and Eurostar service as well, and it's accessible from both Heathrow and Gatwick airports within an hour by railway. City of Westminster area is only 20-30 minutes away by bike, and the British museum is 10 minutes away by walk. The surrounding neighbourhood is very safe at night. The rooms, beds, toilets, and public areas were all clean. The public area / cafe of the ground floor is operated 24 hours every day. Staffs were nice. I will definitely stay here for the next visit to the UK.
