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. Loved everything about this place! The green backyard where you can eat the delicious breakfast and dinner is perfect. There is also complementary coffee service in the evening. The room was spacious. The neighbourhood was in the middle of Kensington, walking distance to pubs and museums. They had everything we needed in the room like towels, shampoo etc, tea, and hair drier. It was very quiet in the room, we had a good night's sleep. It was very high on price / performance. Would definitely come here again.

This is a social party hostel designed for young backpackers and solo travellers aged 18-40 years. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, with no entry curfews, free WiFi, and daily organised events. We have a shared lounge, dining room, outdoor terrace and kitchen. Free luggage storage is available for early check-ins and also check-out days. It was my first-ever hostel stay during my solo trip, and I absolutely loved it! The energy at the hostel was incredible—so friendly and welcoming. The moment I stepped in, I felt right at home. The staff were amazing, especially Brea! She instantly made me feel comfortable with her warm welcome. I was trying to get a football ticket from a tricky website, and Brea went above and beyond to follow up with more details and even gave me tips. If you’re reading this, Brea, a huge thank you for your kindness! What made the experience even more memorable were the fellow solo travellers. We just clicked! Being a Muslims, I didn't have much expectations but turns out they're all very welcoming (mind you it's my first time in Europe). Oh and this is my favourite spot! Though it's not my room level, but I went up here every morning to get ready and have my coffee/tea. It feels so peaceful!
