Best Place Inns are a unique group of three London Youth Hostels set above Traditional English Pubs, providing backpackers with a different sort of London hostel experience. Historically, many traditional British Pubs or Inns would have had cheap rooms to let for weary travellers and Best Place Inns have set about restoring pubs and re-creating the traditional Inn experience for a new generation – London Backpackers!
Our three central London locations are The Green Man Hostel Paddington, The Steam Engine Hostel Waterloo and The White Ferry House Hostel Victoria. Each Hostel and Pub has a different look and feel, reflecting the unique character of its London neighbourhood, so take a look through our site and decide which fits you best. You can Book Online at any time by clicking the Book Now buttons!
Best Place Inns has stayed true to the local character of each Pub, both in clientele and décor, offering British Real Ales on tap, as well as a fine selection of lagers, wines and spirits. Each Pub hosts regular events including live music, karaoke and all major sport fixtures.
Best Place Inns Limited was set up by company director Ben Stackhouse in early 2007, when he took over the lease of The Green Man Pub in Paddington. His idea of providing cheap youth hostel accommodation to complement underperforming local pubs has proven successful, following the two subsequent openings of The Steam Engine Hostel Waterloo in 2008 and The White Ferry House Hostel Victoria in 2009. The Best Place Inns team are young and energetic, often visitors to London themselves, but fully committed to providing Pubs and Hostels which are a pleasure to run, work in, drink in and stay at.
Everyone’s welcome who welcomes everyone!
