Safestay London Kensington Holland Park Reviews

Great place to stay over as a solo traveler, clean and nice personnel. Loved the atmosphere in the night. Even the bed was very confortable.

The demographic of people that stay here is a bit older. The walk through the park from the bus stop to get to the hostel is a bit inconvenient, especially while lugging bags and being tired. The site itself is nice. The bathrooms were nice and clean with sufficient water pressure. The photo is the view from my 6 bed all female room on the top floor. The stairs were not fun, but you do not often get a rooftop patio. My roommates were not my favorite, as I had a very loud snoring woman in my room that argued with me as I was checking out. I complained to management but my stay had ended so there was nothing to do about it. At the least it would’ve been nice to NOT have to pay £1.50 for the earplugs I bought.

So far everything is okay, just the reception customer service got a bit rude.

Fine stay, although the room was not an en-suite as advertised. Good location with public transport and nice parks.

No towel, but other than that a great place, bed is already made and the building and facilities are great

The direction to the hotel is not clear and up the hill and with not clear signs, can easily be missed. I kept calling the reception, but no one answered and there were 2 people on shift when I arrived, they just decided not to answer the call. I called on Sunday morning of April 14, 2024. The seems okay and well organised, just that the bathroom and toilet can be separated.

yaaa always good for travellers to sleep in there

Reception kept my Id and returned it to me two days after, good attitude Comprehensive recommendation Great common area I will stay here again

good. nice. good. nice.

1. The location is very good! It is indeed safe! It is integrated with the park (it is not an exaggeration to describe the parks in London as small forests!). It takes about 10 minutes to get to High Kensington Street Station. There are also many buses. It is very suitable for backpackers who come to London for the first time. People who have the habit of morning jogging must not miss it. You can start from Holland Park and run all the way to Kensington Garden, Hyde Garden, Albert Concert Hall, Imperial College London... 2. Ctrip says that the breakfast is 4.5 pounds, but it is actually 8 pounds. I guess Ctrip has not maintained the information for a long time. You can experience breakfast once, but it is not recommended. You can buy it in the nearby M&S Food supermarket and eat it in the dining area. You can borrow tableware from the restaurant. 3. Cards are only accepted here, no cash is accepted, and WeChat and Alipay are not supported as of the time I wrote this review. I strongly recommend using a contactless credit card - VISA. I use the ICBC study abroad card because it has a contactless function. This card is very convenient and can be used in subways, trains, buses, roadside snacks, etc. No need to exchange cash! I basically don’t see UnionPay in daily life! 4. Each person has a bed with a curtain. The hygiene is OK! You can bring your own hangers and hair dryer. 5. Customers: Although it was May Day, I didn't see other Chinese during my stay. It was mainly European backpackers, a Korean lady, a few families with babies, and I occasionally met a group of more than 20 French elementary school students staying and having breakfast here. It shows that the safety level of this hotel is very high. There are also long-term guests, and they are all very friendly! 6. Luggage storage is 3 pounds a day 7. The service staff are very friendly and they are all working hard to provide service. I saw a comment before that the entrance is hard to find, I attached a video. It is recommended to use Citymapper to find the way, which is better than Google map!
