Great stay. All of the staff were super nice and seemed like they genuinely enjoy their job. Every day was packed with fun activities (walking tours, free dinners made by the staff, drinking games and pub crawls). Perfect if you enjoy a social/party hostel experience.Also pretty central (close to Hyde park)

I had the most amazing time at Onefam Notting Hill! From the incredibly welcoming atmosphere to the tidy rooms and clean facilities. As a solo traveler, this hostel was an amazing way to meet other people and also see parts of the city with the free walking tours provided by the staff. Every night the talented staff also cook amazing family dinners “always veggie and always delicious.” And if you want something else, there are plenty of shops/restaurants/cafes a short walk from the hostel.All the staff are very inclusive and go above and beyond to ensure that their guests are having a good time. The reception staff always greet you with a smile and are always free to answer any questions you may have.The hostel is well maintained and cleaned regularly to ensure the comfort of all guests.Every night there are fun drinking games to join in on before heading out or, if you are staying in for the night, guests are encouraged to keep noise down when entering exiting the hostel so you can sleep soundly.Will definitely be back for another stay. My favourite place in London to stay. Thanks to all the staff; Holly, Nico, Riley, Ollie, Meg, Greta, Yamil and Holly 🫶

Amazing hostel!! This was our favorite hostel by far out of our trip to the UK. Great staff, location is beautiful and felt safe, clean and comfortable rooms, quick laundry service, free “family” dinners and pub crawls every night, tours and things to do with the hostel daily, and a fun hangout space downstairs to meet more people daily. The staff creates such a welcoming atmosphere that we made so many friends just because everyone felt comfortable talking to one another. If you like to stay out late and party there are options for you. If you like to go to bed early, the hostel works to keep people quiet at late hours to make it easier to sleep. The family dinners each night are always good and a great way to talk to new people. Every night they play drinking games before going to the pub crawl which is perfect if you want to hangout with everyone but not fully go out. Everything is cleaned daily and never felt gross. We LOVED our stay and definitely want to go to the other locations!! Thanks for being awesome, staff.

Had a lovely stay. Best hostel for solo travellers as you’ll meet new people in no time. Rooms and facilities are basic, but very very clean. Shared dinners are lovely, and the program is amazing. Couldn’t have thought of a better place to spend my first few days in London.

I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, and the facilities were clean and comfortable. The real highlight, though, were the people you get to meet and the incredible staff. A special shout-out to Leah, who made my trip so much fun and memorable. Her enthusiasm and energy were infectious, and she really went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time.The city tour she led was a unique experience I won’t forget. She has a one-of-a-kind way of showing the city that’s both entertaining and insightful, offering a perspective you won’t find in a guidebook.I highly recommend this hostel for anyone looking for a great place to stay with a friendly vibe and staff who truly care about your experience. I’ll definitely be back!

Amazing experience. Very close to multiple tube stations.Extremely helpful and friendly staff that actually seem genuinely interested in talking to you and not just doing it because it’s their job.The bed is very comfortable (but it’s very very squeaky, every single move can be heard and felt), showers and toilets very clean (cleanest i’ve seen in a hostel, could use a few more hooks inside though).Free dinner and social events are a huge plus as well

This is a fun place with a great atmosphere (vibe). The staff is not only friendly but they will go above and beyond to help you and make you feel welcome, the take good care of the building, making sure it stay clean and presentable. Accommodations are nice. This is a hostel for drinking and going out on the town at night, if that's not your thing this isn't your place. I never locked up any of my belongings and never had a worry of anything go missing.The location is perfect for the tube or the bus.

Absolutely loved my stay at Onefam Notting Hill! The vibe is super friendly and welcoming, you feel like you've found a second family when you walk in the door. The space is clean and cosy, and despite having 40+ people during my stay, it never felt cramped. The staff are super friendly (especially Mark and Meg!!) and will absolutely treat you to a good time around London. Plus, the location is unbeatable. If you’re looking for a place to stay in London, this is it! Highly recommend!!

I stayed here for three nights. The hostel describes itself as a social hostel, but that is not the case. The building and the room were in poor condition. The shower and toilet were too small, and there was only one of each per floor. Additionally, they gave my bed to someone else. When I arrived in the evening, my belongings were not on the bed but somewhere else in the room. I was offered another bed, which was just as uncomfortable as the previous one.
