This upbeat and well-run place has taken over a long-serving YHA hostel with over 300 beds. With a bright (fuchsia) and bold design, the hostel has dorm rooms with four to 21 bunk beds and twins with a single bunk, free wi-fi in the lobby and a fabulous location in the Jacobean east wing of Holland House in Holland Park.
There's a large and very comfortable bar and restaurant downstairs with mains from £6, a pool room and garden.
