Hostel-operators, Safestay, are planning to open a second property in London. It will be a new 380-bed Safestay hostel in Holland Park, west London, in a building which until recently operated as a YHA hostel.
The building, located in the centre of the park, is a Jacobean mansion and dates back to 1607. A 1950’s extension created a central courtyard and garden space.
The Safestay hostel is scheduled to open in April 2015 following a comprehensive refurbishment costing in the region of £2million.
Safestay at Elephant & Castle, the group's first London hostel, was formerly the Labour Party Headquarters. It opened in 2012.The group also operate a hostel in the centre of York.
