Hostel One Notting Hill

Great experience at this unique...

Liked: OneFam Hostel was good. The staff were very helpful, for example, Ellis Nunn at reception was really helpful and friendly.The location is excellent, making it easy to get around via metro and explore the city. The location felt very safe too.This hostel has a unique vibe that makes it easy to meet new people and discover the city together. I specially recommend it if you travel alone, I have never stayed in a hostel so social and friendly as this.
Disliked: Nothing to highlight, except perhaps that some rooms does not have AC at summer.

Good Social Hostel

Liked: Well located near underground district/circle/central lines to get you most places around London. Welcoming atmosphere with lots of social activities.
Disliked: The rooms were far too hot to sleep, but you didn't sleep much with the parties and clubs every night

Not great not terrible

Liked: The location is great, very classy neighborhood. The team made extra sure that I was aware this is a party hostel, but quiet hours were respected during my stay without problems. Showers at the 4th floor are by far better than the others. The price is pretty honest.
Disliked: I was given a towel for rent and it was pretty stinky. If I didn't discover this right after I was out of the shower, I would have brought it back. The facilities are generally cheap, toilets and showers are small and ventilation isn't really there. Rooms are basic, there is no side table of sorts to e.g. keep your phone while it's charging during the night. The mattress wasn't very comfortable either and the bunk beds were cracking quite a bit.

Liked: The location is great and you can do a pre-checkin and store your luggage
Disliked: The showers are mixed gender and offer almost no privacy. You either have to change in the wet cubicle or outside in front of a huge window with no curtains and a door that is open at all times. Sinks are also just out in the hallway. The building carries sound incredibly well so I heard people above us walking around all night. The entire hostel is very focused on getting drunk together in the evening and most people are below 25 so keep that in mind if you want to make friends and that's not your thing

Great staff, Social Hostel but...

Liked: Great Staff
Disliked: Rooms were way to hot. They had one fan for the whole room. And the staff was trying there best to accomodate us but just couldn't do anything about the fact that the rooms were not build for hot weather. I stayed in a 8bed dorm room and it was a little crowded. No more than one person could access their locked under the bed at the same time.
