Located in London, within 2.3 km of Lord's Cricket Ground and 2.7 km of London Zoo, Wilson House - Camden provides accommodation with a garden. This 3-star hostel offers a shared kitchen. The property is non-smoking and is situated 3.6 km from Madame Tussauds. Very good stay in the establishment. Directions and access information are precise. Wifi very good. Everything you need is available. Large towels and slippers, small bottles of shampoo and shower gel. The heating works very well and so does the hot water. The kitchen is functional, with crockery and cooking utensils. The location is really great, close to the Swiss Cottage subway station, on the Jubilee line which serves all the main points in London. There's also a bus stop nearby. A Tesco supermarket and grocery stores and cafés next door. Very quiet residential area We enjoyed the quiet, slept well, sometimes we had the apartment to ourselves as there were no other occupants so it was nice. The cleaning lady comes every day to clean the apartment and the shared rooms only. The host is friendly and can be contacted by message. The truth to be honest it's very good value for money in london!!!

Situated in London and within 2.4 km of London Bridge, Cricketers Hostel has a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. The property is around 2.4 km from Big Ben, 1.9 km from Waterloo Station and 2.6 km from Houses of Parliament. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. I like the place and the person who take care of it. His name is Robert. He was so warm hearted kind and helpful with my laundry. There are no doggie people around and you can have comfortable stay. Towel was included in the price. Typical hostels in UK are under all standards compared to the European and full with homeless people or delivery drivers but this property is keeping them away which is advantage for the travellers.. There are no smelly and snoring people to disturb your sleep.

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. It's a really great place. Highly recommend! Perfect location (tube, stores, parks, restaurants all around and very close). Very kind and welcoming staff. Tasty meals (both breakfast and dinner). Green and cozy backyard. Warm and well organized room: it had everything we needed. You just should remember, that it's not the 3* or 4*star hotel, originally it is a dormitory for students. And the type of room doesn't refer to standard "hotel expectations". But if you look at the photos and read reviews carefully there will be no surprise.
