  • "For the young at heart!"

  • The 99-bed Astor Quest Hostel is like a diamond in the rough compared to its dull neighbors on Queensborough Terrace. Music was blasting throughout the lobby when we came in, which gave off more of a frat house feel than hostel reception area vibe.

    This place really isn't for the young at heart-it's for the young and the young only. In fact, management rolls their eyes at those who are older than 35, but in all honesty, we can't really see anyone older than 28 getting attracted to this place. But backpackers with a desire to make friends fast will find Astor Quest a dream come true.

    The Quest is lined with double rooms that have toilets in the hall, and a series of nine-bed dorms with attached bathrooms.

Property Description

Please note: We only allow guests between the ages of 18 and 35 years old.

Great for all backpackers, close to Notting Hill Gate, the Quest is perfect for the independent traveller and small student groups.

The hostel offers a friendly intimate atmosphere, great murals, and brand new beds with security lockers underneath them. It's also close to heaps of great attractions like Hyde Park, Kensington Palace (Princess Diana's residence), Portobello Market and Whiteley's Shopping centre. The Bayswater area is also full of friendly pubs, cafés and restaurants that keep you busy during the evening.

The dormitory rooms range in size from four to eight beds per room. Most of the rooms have en-suite shower and toilet facilities. There are toilets and showers on each floor for the few rooms without facilities.

The Quest is a great hostel for making friends and to enjoy all the sights London has to offer. All staff live on the premises and are young travellers like yourself!
