Lee Abbey London features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in London. Located around 1.4 km from Natural History Museum, the hostel with free WiFi is also 1.7 km away from South Kensington Underground Station. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. Within walking distance of Earl's court subway station which has access to both the district line and the piccadilly line, which for visiting London is more than enough to connect you to any touristy spot of any kind, including the airport or the National Rail stations. The neighborhood is picturesque and the building itself shows that it is a students accommodation, which is not necessarily a bad thing, despite traveling only with other adults i can see this being a very comfortable option for families with children as it offers recreational rooms with a Ping-Pong table as well as kids playgrounds in the surprisingly spacious garden. The reception staff was very friendly and quickly explained me the process of entering the premises with a key fob for the automatic doors to ensure the guests safety in the after-hours when there's no one at the reception. The rooms are "roomy" in size, no AC options but good air circulation, as the purpose of my trip was tourism i barely spent time in the premises but i couldn't find anything negative to say, as i understand this is not a commercial chain hotel which is very clearly shown on the accommodation description (make sure to read the specifics ahead of time), which means it may not be available year-round for obvious reasons. The breakfast and dinner options are filling, delicious and varied with vegetarian options for those looking for that specifically. Adding to the location and the food included, there's simply no better option in this area of London for the price. Everyone in the staff was very friendly and i wouldn't mind staying here again.

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. I had a really nice time in Onefam. The beds were comfortable and it was a nice experience in general. Every day there are walking tours and dinner together, which gives you a feeling of family from day one and makes you feel included. On my first day here I arrived way too early, when my bed was not ready yet, so Jackson took me on the walking tour and it was lovely. In general, the staff is very friendly (shoutout to Jackson&Michael ;)) Thank you for the nice time :)
