Central London Budget & Backpackers Accommodation

Ace Hotel - Kensington

Located in fashionable Kensington, Central London, Ace Hotel is a pioneer in the new generation of budget accommodation in the UK. To mark its success in achieving high standards and low prices, it's been awarded the accolade of Three Stars by the Quality in Tourism Board. This comfortable, friendly and safe hotel occupies four beautiful Victorian town houses, and provides a lively bar, internet access, a TV lounge, a great games room and a wonderful garden where residents can have BBQs, beer, outdoor fun and sunbathing! All the public areas are fully air conditioned. And there's an extensive choice of rooms, including doubles with en-suite bathrooms, ranging through to family rooms and fun dormitories - and the prices can be as low as £15 per bed, which includes a free breakfast! This unbeatable value comes with full facilities, and no matter what you want, Ace appear to provide it! All the rooms have a security locker, comfortable bunk bed and security guaranteed with electronic swipe card access. Of course there are many hostels in London, but Ace has several features in its favour: it's a friendly, exciting, safe and very easy-going place to stay with perhaps the highest housekeeping standards in this section of the market! What's more, the hostel is in the thick of things, only a few tube stops away from the epitome of London shopping, Harrods!

This is an international (but aren't they all?) more-than-800-bed hostel in Bloomsbury. The cheapest dorms are in demand, and you may have to wait for them, so a better plan might be to pay £17 to stay in a 4-bed room. Close at hand are the Vegetarian Paradise restaurant and another excellent outlet, Alara Wholefoods (where vegans can satisfy their breakfast urges). In theory for 18-35 year olds, but just act young and you're in! As you might expect, there's a busy bar, and you might want to bring earplugs as well as a padlock for your locker. Towels provided.
