The property is around 2.7 km from Liverpool Street Underground Station, 2.8 km from Victoria Park and 3.1 km from Tower of London. The accommodation features karaoke and a shared kitchen. It is clean and cosy, not so far from the Liverpool Station. I like this place because it is easily accessible & safe. The reception is 0-24, the hostel colleagues are very helpful and you also have everything you need (kitchen, nice and tidy hostel rooms).

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. It's a really great place. Highly recommend! Perfect location (tube, stores, parks, restaurants all around and very close). Very kind and welcoming staff. Tasty meals (both breakfast and dinner). Green and cozy backyard. Warm and well organized room: it had everything we needed. You just should remember, that it's not the 3* or 4*star hotel, originally it is a dormitory for students. And the type of room doesn't refer to standard "hotel expectations". But if you look at the photos and read reviews carefully there will be no surprise.

Astor Museum offers accommodation for guests over the age of 18 in Central London, situated directly opposite the British Museum. Free WiFi is available in all the rooms.

Rooms are fitted with a shared bathroom. You will find a 24-hour front desk at the property. Beyond AMAZING staff! As a solo female traveler, I was looking for a safe place to stay and Astor Museum was the perfect choice! The hostel was very well located, everything was clean and the environment was lovely. There are daily activities which are great to meet people, make new friends, and have fun in London like a local! The staff also gives you great tips on what to visit! This was my first time in London (and in a hostel), and I’ll be definitely booking a stay with them again on my next visit!
