Astor Hyde Park

Astor Hyde Park won 3rd place as a hostel chain at the 2009 Hoscars and it's easy to see why. It's located in the upscale neighbourhood of South Kensington beside Hyde Park and close to several of London's best museums. Guests have praised this location for being a 'wonderful area close to everything [but] also far enough away to be off the tourist trail'. One reviewer said this is 'a great hostel if you're looking for somewhere central in London without paying a fortune'. We like their relaxed, friendly staff, who we've been told are 'very helpful, personable and informative'.

Welcome to the Astor Hyde Park - our newest addition to our hostel group and the flagship of them all!

After a year of renovations and rebuilding, we are extremely proud to be able to offer you accommodation in this building. Set in a large Victorian period house complete with original wooden panelling and a fantastic wooden staircase winding up through the middle of the building, this hostel resonates that which is traditional and English, with all the conveniences of what one is to expect in modern and newly built hostels.

Each of the 33 rooms are en-suite and spacious, freshly decorated with modern artworks and modern conveniences. We've fitted a state-of-the-art key-card access system as well as installed CCTV throughout the building, as your safety and security are of utmost importance to us.
