HARLOW INTERNATIONAL HOSTEL 3 stars

Harlow

Situated in Harlow and with Stansted Mountfitchet Station reachable within 21 km, HARLOW INTERNATIONAL HOSTEL features a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. This 3-star hostel offers a shared kitchen. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar. Its a very quirky hostel in the middle of a beautiful park with farm animals. Harlow is a very friendly town although it can be a bit rough. The formerly horrific town centre is halfway through being rennovated and already has some really nice parts to it. I've been to over 100 countries and I view Harlow as a very unique, special and authentic place with a strong identity.
