Well it's overall a good hostel - central location, not too expensive for a bed 10 minutes aways from everywhere. I stayed there for one night, so the only two things to complain is the bed in the boy's dorm didn't look quite clean, and that the wifi is neither free nor accessible in the room. But given it's just... More

London accommodation is SO expensive and it made sense to us to use a YHA. The location was brilliant, the people warm and friendly, funny things happened to us here eg the lift broke down and we were on the 5th floor but an athletic guy very happily ran (!) up the stairs with our bags. We got excellent deals... More

The room is clean, high security, nice staff, great lounge because it's cheery, big kitchen. There is toilet and shower in my room hence its convenient. Lights and power beside each bed is very useful. The location is good- near to Oxford street and also regent park. I'd love to stay here again. More

This March was the second time I've stayed at this hostel in the past year. I loved it before and I still do now. You really can't beat it's location as it lives up to it's name of being "central". Easy access to most all London Attractions. As some other reviews have said they do charge a lot for extra... More

All of the above, and I'm not going to complain because the amenities were so...basic, because it is what it is: A hostel. What kept me from giving it an "Excellent" rating was 1) the nickel and diming really added up, for towels and lockers and wifi, and 2) the locker room situation was Not Good. When we went to...

Spent 3 nights with family (all adults) in this hostel, and I am happy to say that it was a right choice. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable and importantly the place was quiet. The staff was friendly and you have all the basic facilities you need. But the most important advantage was the great location -... More

I stayed here with 5 other individuals on a weekend trip to London and found that it was just average. Rooms were okay, and bathrooms were lacking a bit. It was a place to sleep, so I can't really complain! More

I stayed here in March in a four bed girls dorm. I found my stay quite comfortable. The staff were friendly and always around. The room and bathroom were clean and it was handy having a kitchen, dinning area and laundry to use. The cafe and reception area was a handy place to sit and chill out. The location was... More

This is one of my favourite hostels. All the things you need from a good hostel. Locker room for luggage provided although I wouldn't say that it is the safest place to put your luggage prior to checking in. But good enough. Laundry room, with ironing facility and hairdryer (yesss). The pantry room was the loveliest one with vibrant interior;... More
