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.

At the hostel, the rooms include a wardrobe. All rooms are equipped with a safety deposit box and some rooms come with garden views. I really liked the room — it was clean and comfortable. The location of the hostel (or hotel) was also very convenient, just a short walk from the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. I also appreciated that the kitchen was always open, so it was easy to make tea and relax at any time. Overall, the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Pax Lodge is a hostel tucked away in the Belsize Park area of London and 5 minutes' walk from its Tube station. Free WiFi access is available. bed linen, towels and a fan are provided.

The hostel is 500 metres from Belsize Park, 700 metres from Hampstead and 900 metres from Finchley Road. London Heathrow Airport is 22 km away. Everything - the staff, facilities, room, bed, etc. I love the fact that it's run by girl guides (girl scouts) who I was once growing up. I'd definitely would like to come back to thus place.
