Ibis Styles London Gloucester Road
HOSTELS
For groups of students or those on a tight budget, these hostels offer dorm rooms and some limited single/double private rooms. BOOK EARLY – they sell out fast.
These are both within a 15 minute walk of the V&A and the after-party venue. Slightly further afield but in a lovely setting is:
