Astor Hyde Park

Please note: We are a backpacker hostel and therefore cater strictly for the 18 to 35 year old age bracket only. A passport, photo ID or drivers licence is required upon check in.

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.


Situated in trendy South Kensington between Kensington Gardens (once the residence of Princess Diana) and the Natural History Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum as well as the ever-so-cool Science Museum, you’ll be minutes away by tube from Oxford Street, the West-End theatres in London, Harrods and the ever popular High Street Kensington strewn with designer boutiques and eating places.

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.

The Hyde Park hostel boasts two separate lounges, a spacious dining area and a brand-new installed stainless steel kitchen.

With SKY and digital TV as well as a projector for major sporting events, you won’t be at a loss for things to do in this hostel.

Feel pampered and special, book your bed at the Astor Hyde Park! We can’t wait to see you!
