Such a great stay! Friendly staff, easy check in, great area, comfy beds for bunk beds. The fan in the room really helped with any city noise, and we didnât even hear the church bells once we were asleep even with the window open!
Possibly one of the best places to stay in London if you take pricing into the consideration. Great service, location and everything just worked as expected.
It's a good choice for a weekend, In and out of London. It has the basics a bed and a roof over your head. they do offer private rooms which is the one I got and it was perfect for me.
They offer food on site,(didn't get the chance to try it, but it smell delicious) all the transport options are within walking distance.
No WiFi in rooms
Room smells mouldy, unable to open the door to the balcony, can hear noises next door easily
Showers not adjustable heights and low pressure
No lift in the building and no staff assistance for carrying luggage up and down 3 floors of stairs
No tea making facility or fridges to store foods in.
Have been to other yha hostels and this one unfortunately is subpar.
The room carpet really needs re fitted, dirty around the edge and lifting. The building stairs look like they also need replaced as there are metal supports in place.
Very very basic however it was clean and staff are friendly and informative.
Great location

No elevators, consider this if you have large luagges. Very close to the cathedral, the bell ring every 15 min to 1 hour, even in mid night (12 pm). If you are light sleeper, think carefully.
The staff is friendly and helpful, neibours are polite and noise from neighbors are less than I imagined
Convenient for transportation
Iâve stayed in many YHAâs over the years and this wasnât one of the best. There is external work going on and I wonder if they will be updating the interiors as itâs looking somewhat shabby. The shower closest to our room didnât work properly. I checked in very late at night and just wanted to get to bed and for sone reason the check in process took much longer than necessary
Excellent hostile but I was surprised to find that there was no fridge or microwave for the guests. Bonus having a sink in the room. Loved the breakfast buffet option tho. Convenient location, close to many restaurants, tourist sights, and shops. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Allowed us to check in early since room was ready. Was a bit pricier than most hostiles but would definitely go back. Only thing we did not like was that no one kept the noisy guests in line. Our room was between rooms with young, foreign girls who seemed to be drunk and were extremely loud (laughing/screaming, slamming doors, running in halls) very late at night. Had absolutely no regard for other guests. They truly acted like children
Not bad for a youth hostel. I booked a two-bed private room for my friend and myself to split. It was comfortable enough, and it was nice having a wash sink in the room so that we didn't need to go to the shared toilets every time we needed a sink.
The beds had built-in power outlets, however they didn't really work well. We ended up using the wall outlets to charge our electronics. We were also right next to the showers but one of them was out of order. The toilets were at the end of the hall but one of them was out of order as well, so I ended up needing to wait for one to become available a couple times.
It wasn't too noisy considering we were facing a busy street and some people complain about the bells coming from St. Paul's being distracting as they ring essentially every 15 minutes, but I got used to it pretty quickly and was able to sleep just fine.
Wifi is only available in the shared spaces and not the rooms, so that might be difficult for people who rely on wifi connection.
We didn't take advantage of their breakfast offerings, though they seem to have a nice variety of hot and cold food to choose from. They even seemed to have a couple vegan items that I could have eaten, but I wasn't going to pay nearly ÂŁ10 just to only eat like two items.
Check in and check out were easy.
