Welcome to Smart Backpackers! Be smart - stay Smart!
Thank you for choosing the Hyde Park View! We aim to provide comfortable, stylish, convenient and affordable accommodation in Central London at a price that can't be beat.
We reside in a partially-converted three-star hotel, featuring full en-suite bathrooms in every room. We are the only hostel in London to offer you this spectacular advantage! Our classic, listed building is set on a quiet residential street in the heart of London's bohemian Bayswater, one of London's most beautiful districts.
Our private rooms, including doubles, twins, our family triple and quad suites, are three-star accredited and offer in-room colour-televisions with cable reception, direct-dial international phones, full linen services including daily bed making and towels, coffee and tea making facilities, free personal safes and complimentary soaps.
There are security lockers in the rooms, available for €1.50 per day key rental.
We are also regularly health and safety regulated by the local government, ensuring a comfortable stay for you!
Our hostel features free breakfast, FREE WIFI, free linens and a free map! We have currency exchange and on-site self-service laundy facilities. Just ask at reception for pricing details. We also offer free tourist information and 24hr assistance.
With a 24-hour guest-only bar that offers drinks specials, theme nights, a high-definition 42 inch plasma television with Sky satellite reception for the sport and movie nights, as well as happy hour from 4pm to midnight, you won't be bored at the Hyde Park View.
If you prefer, there's also a spacious common room with comfortable sofas, a colour TV with Sky satellite reception and a book exchange to keep you busy.
Our entertainment directors spend all day thinking of ways for you to enjoy yourselves; from movie and game nights to pub crawls, we're there to make sure you enjoy your stay.
Of course, even with all of that you may be thinking about your lunch and dinner. Just down the road, we have two eateries that will set your mouth to watering and also keep your budget well sorted.
Our Pizza Factory restaurant features more than just pizza. With a menu full of enticing Italian-influenced dishes, we will satisfy your appetite without depleting your funds. And with a 20% guest discount off of everything but the buffets just by showing your room key, it makes it an even better deal!
Next door to the Pizza Factory is the more traditional Royal Bayswater Café. We have a special arrangement with them to get 10% discounts on all meals, from a full English breakfast to traditional Fish and chips; you'll find everything you need to satisfy your hunger!
And if you plan to visit the attractions of London, save yourself time and money by purchasing your attraction tickets right at reception! With up to 20% off of gate prices on attractions like Madame Tussaud's, Tower of London, London Eye and the London Dungeon, you will enjoy them even more as almost all of them are FastTrack tickets jumping you right to the head of the queue! That will save you up to three hours' at every attraction!
Set just a stone's throw from Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens, you can relax in the beauty of meticulously cultured gardens and large, open fields or go shopping on the local high street, Queensway, where you will find everything from Ice and Roller Skating to an historic shopping centre!
Notting Hill and its famous Portobello Market are just a fifteen-minute walk; Oxford Street, High Street Kensington, Marble Arch, Speakers' Corner and a dozen other famous landmarks are just a twenty to thirty minute walk; downtown London and Westminster, with the famous Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, the London Eye are all just one quick train ride away. Everything you want is within your reach here in Bayswater, and the Hyde Park View is your ticket to a fun, entertaining stay!
Our locations are always directly in Central London. We have found the perfect hostels for you to reach any destination in London with ease as each one is located near an underground station and a bus stop! This will give you 24-hour access to the capital city!
Our friendly 24hr reception and CCTV ensure excellent security at all times, and there's no curfew so you can come and go as you please.
If you have not satisfied with your stay for any reason, we take your comments and suggestions seriously. We encourage you to speak to your dedicated and highly-trained staff to help us improve our hostels. We will work our hardest to make it a pleasant stay, whether one night or a month!
Please note that children aged 12 and under must be booked into private accommodation; dorms must be booked out (all six or four beds) or you may be turned away and will be charged as a no-show. You must contact us after booking in order to reconfirm your booking is for private accommodation.

Latest Review
Very clean and a good standard for such a low price. I hadn't noticed that the beds were so short when booking, so for someone longer than ~180 cm that might be unpleasant. It was nice to have a simple breakfast included for those days when I didn't feel like looking for a coffee shop. All staff that I spoke with was friendly and helpful. It felt good to come back after a day in the city.
