EuroCheapo Review print this page

The Lancaster Hall Hotel is located one block from Kensington Gardens and provides clean hotel and hostel accommodations in a very '70s setting. Informally called the “German YMCA,” the hotel is in fact affiliated with the German organization. However, guests from all over the world fill its rooms. The Lancaster Hall provides hotel rooms for business and leisure guests, while hostel rooms fill mostly with student groups.

Constructed in 1973, the Lancaster has the brutal concrete façade to prove it. Upstairs, hallways are lined with wooden paneling and florescent lighting, reminiscent of a '70s office building. (It's only missing the smell of the mimeograph machine.)

The 80 rooms in the hotel section are basic and clean, with slightly more recent furnishings. All baths are equipped with tubs and are quite clean.

The hostel rooms at the Lancaster are less like a youth hostel and more like a tidy budget hotel. In fact, the only thing that makes them "hostel" rooms at all is the fact that they contain three or four beds and share facilities in the hall. Towels and soap are provided.
