YHA London Earls Court

The hostel has over 180 beds across 44 rooms with accommodation ranging from private double rooms to six- and 10-bed shared dormitories. Accommodation is basic with lockers in the dorms and many of the rooms do not have their own en suite bathroom facilities so you may need to use a shared bathroom.

What the hostel lacks in in-room facilities, it makes up in shared communal spaces. Common areas include a small in-house cafe and bar, a spacious TV lounge, another quieter lounge, and a fully-equipped kitchen where you can prepare your own meals.

There is also a nice back garden with outdoor furniture, which is a nice spot to relax if you’re visiting on a sunny day.

Free Wi-Fi wireless internet access is available in the hostel’s shared social spaces.

The hostel is located in a large house, typical of others in this part of London. It is clean and well maintained and it is brightened up with bed linen in YHA’s bright green colour scheme.

The hostel is in one of the nicer areas of Earls Court just a five-minute walk from Earls Court Tube station (on the District and Piccadilly lines) and from here you can get to South Kensington in four minutes, Kings Cross St Pancras in 20 minutes, Piccadilly Circus in 12 minutes and Westminster in 13 minutes. The Piccadilly line also serves as a direct link to Heathrow Airport with a journey time of around 35 minutes.

There are also several points of interest within a 20-minute walk from the hostel including the Chelsea Football Club Museum at Stamford Bridge stadium and the South Kensington museums, which include the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
