Guest Reviews
- Soni (10/5): -
- FRITZ (3/5): I didn’t enjoyed! - This is not a hostel it’s a long stay students or people that can’t afford to get an apartment in London, it’s my opinion base in my experience.
It’s not a hostel vibe at all. Not chance to meet an another travelers in this place. The location

- Lidia (5/5): -
- Tridha (7/5): -
- James (10/5): - £42 each for a private en-suite twin room in Paddington, it came with free dinner which we didn’t expect further making it one of the best value accommodations I’ve ever stayed in!! Nothing
- Rabia Işık (9/5): Keyifli bir deneyim - Konumu çok iyi, çalışanlar güler yüzlü. Odalar temizdi. Saç kurutma makinesi, buzdolabı vardı. Su seviyesi için kötü duş alınmıyor yazılmıştı yorumlarda ama öyle değildi gayet güzeldi. Bu fiyata çok iyi performans. Her şey fotoğraflardaki gibi Duşta şampuan yoktu ve bu sorun değildi bence
- JINGPENG (10/5): -
- Marco Z. (10/5): - Bella struttura, elegante e pulita. Non erano scritti gli orari per fare colazione, che variano fra il weekend ed i giorni lavorativi
- Nadine (4/5): Great location, poor room experience - Great location, great value, nicely furnished rooms for a Hostel. Housekeeping didn't prepare the room. There were no towels, no soap, no cups to use the kettle and no toilet paper.
- Lian (3/5): The rooms where not clean. Where was dust everywhere. And the beds felt like the 1950s. On the pictures online everythin - The location was great The mattresses and beds were horrible, the room didn’t look well. Online the pictures looked okay basic room but this was not the case

- Marc (7/5): Calidad-precio correcta y buena ubicación - Ubicación inmejorable ya que estaba cerca del metro y de tiendas donde comprar. El precio no fue ni muy alto ni muy bajo y la atención al cliente bastante buena ya que nos atendieron en todo momento bastante bien. La habitación no se parecía en nada a las fotografías, las camas estaban separadas y muy incómodas. La habitación en sí no estaba muy actualizada pese a ser un hotel por fuera que está bien y el baño algo pequeño. Pero para dos noches en general, correcto.

- farid (8/5): Overall it’s really good in this price. - I wasn’t expecting the room will be like this good in such a price. Highly recommended The breakfast and dinner time is too early and short.
- Phurichaya (2/5): - Free foods I got a room in the basement and it was awful. There is one small window but you can’t see anything outside it’s completely blocked and you can open it just like 1%. I don't know if the bedding has been laundered. It looked dirty and there was a lot of dust in the room. The smell of food enters the room almost constantly. And we can hear a very loud noise of chairs being dragged from above during every meal. This accommodation gave me the worst experience ever in London and probably in my entire life. Just don’t trust the picture. So fake.

- Abu Alkossim (6/5): Good location, clean, value for money and helpful staff - Food could be improved, l found no hangers in the rooms. Food
- Saphfya (7/5): It was okay but they can do a better upgrade than that - I like that it was near the carnival and quick access to nearby stations and shops That when i lay on the bed that i can feel the bed spring the bed is way to small for one person the mattress itself is way to thing and the bathroom had some mold
- Miroslaw (2/5): -
- Ellie (3/5): -
- Elissa (10/5): -
- Paula (4/5): Decepcionante - El personal de recepción fue amable.
Buena ubicación. - En 3 días no limpiaron la habitación, no cambiaron las toallas ni repusieron el papel higiénico ninguno de ellos.
- Para ser una "habitación doble DELUXE" parecía más bien una individual...no era muy espaciosa. La ropa de cama bastante escueta para el frío que hacía, las cortinas estaban que se caían y la ducha funcionaba a medias.
- La TV tampoco funcionaba porque según el recepcionista no tenían licencia
- El desayuno también era bastante pobre
- Yiğit (2/5): -
- Mohammed (7/5): -
- Anna (7/5): - Great location and reasonable price. Beds could have been comfier, breakfast offering was limited.
- Corinne (1/5): Je ne retournerai jamais dans cet hôtel et je ne le conseillerai à personne - Petit déjeuner : pas de choix alors que sur la présentation on nous dit qu'il y a un buffet. Le week-end, petit déjeuner entre 9h et 10h30 et la semaine de 7h à 8h30... Quand on est en vacance c'est un peu trop tôt !!!
Il n'est nul part renseigné que c'est un hôtel pour étudiants....
Il faisait froid dans les chambres et dans la salle de bains.
Nous dormions dans le sous-sol, la fenêtre était opaquetée....
Personne ne parlait français alors qu'il était indiqué que oui....
L'emplacement est bien. Station de métro à proximité.
- Claudia (1/5): Soggiorno di 4 notti a Capodanno in una stanza di studentato con bagno privato: struttura molto essenziale, ma sufficien - La posizione comoda per la stazione metro Paddington Riscaldamento non funzionante in camera (a Gennaio), Infissi con spifferi, Nessun cambio asciugamani durante il soggiorno
- Antonio (7/5): -
- Nouble (10/5): Je reviendrai tellement j’ai aimé - Tout absolument tout, propre, idéalement situé, bien fréquenté. Rien tout est parfait
- Barbato (8/5): - struttura comoda. posizione ottima. colazione buona. camera non tanto grande ma essenziale (noi avevamo camera privata con bagno in camera) un solo asciugamano a testa (forse basta chiederne uno in più)
- Siva Kumar (8/5): Acceptable for a short stay. - The location is fantastic. Good value for money. Room was generally clean. Initially the check in staff wanted to move me to another property or refund my last night as they were overbooked. Not a positive first start.
The was a long staying guest in the room and his belongings were everywhere. It made me feel as if I was imposing on him. Only 1 thin pillow was provided.

- Iris (9/5): The perfect blend of hotel and hostel - As a building that used to be a hotel, LHA Paddington gives you the welcoming atmosphere of a hostel but with added comfort. The price reflects that. You're paying for the prime location and the lovely meals that are included. But at its heart, this is still an LHA hostel, a true charity. It's heartwarming to see volunteers helping out from all over the world, giving the human touch to an otherwise pretty elegant-looking building. My stay was perfect, a real home away from home for Christmas. Thank you!

- Veronica (10/5): -
- Angela (8/5): - Location, private bathroom and food. No towels provided.
- 7aloom (8/5): -
- Caroline (3/5): Un risparmio che è costato inoltre - Vicina a due fermate Sporca, la stanza per tre giorni non era mai stata pulita, la stanza era troppo fredda e sporca, non mi hanno datto neanche una tovaglia per la doccia, e il piumino era chiaramente sporco. Se sei una persona a cui piacciono i posti minimamente idonei, non andarci proprio !
- Lauren (7/5): -
- Diya mariya (5/5): -
- Maria bb (10/5): - First time stay. Very clean room, great amenities. Staff were very friendly. Quiet location, close to train station and shops; all walkable.
- Andrea (10/5): Buena estancia - Era muy tranquilo muy bonito insonorizado buena cena La ducha salía muy floja y se pasaba mucho frío para bañarse
- Elena (9/5): - Good location, helpful staff, lift - convenient for luggage, ensuite room, good meals, nice canteen The room was not very spacious
- Luca (8/5): -
- Dawoon (10/5): - Great location, and facilities for price! Breakfast and dinner included which is a bonus. Twin room was in the basement but only went to sleep for a trip so didn't spend much time in the room. Lacked towel and toilet roll for the first night.. And couldn't find anyone in reception in the evening when I got back which was unfortunate.
- Joana (10/5): Muy bien - Muy céntrico. Buena conexión con transporte. Personal amable El desayuno deberían de mejorar. Solo había croissant y tostadas.
- Luis (10/5): -
- Guey-Mei (7/5): Reasonable price and good stay! - Excellent location, reasonable price, staff was kind and alert about acess and non-guest visits. I feel safe.
- Alecsandra (7/5): - It’s central, good value for money, you can have a snack in the morning for free Rooms in the picture are some in the property, i stayed in the basement unfortunately in a creaking bed
- Armando (8/5): Ottima esperienza da solo in ostello - Prima esperienza in ostello da solo, magari sono stato fortunato avendo avuto un coinquilino veramente eccezionale, si tratta di un ostello per studenti ma per un paio di giorni riesci a stare molto bene, sono incluse colazione(inglese) pranzo e cena nei giorni settimanali. Consiglio l’esperienza
La zona di Paddington è ottima per girare Londra Al check out sono venuti a bussarmi in stanza dopo 3 minuti quando ero in procinto di uscire dalla camera
- Maureen (7/5): -
- Raquel (6/5): Agradable en general - El lugar y el personal.
Calidad precio bien Un ruido que aparecía a las 7 de la mañana como de un motor, bastante molesto

- Cathleen Hobson (10/5): LHA London Paddington was the Best! - Very welcoming reception, plus was upgraded to single ensuite bedroom. Comfortable bed plus quiet room meant good sleep. Plus the curry dinner was superb ( plus dessert yum). Thanks so much. Will definitely stay again when in London.
- Natalie (5/5): -
- Celine (5/5): - the staff has been really kind and it was close to the paddington station :) it wasn't really clean at all
- Tamara (9/5): -
- Metin (1/5): -
- Liu (8/5): -
- Oludamilola (3/5): Not worth it - Only positive was proximity to hyde park and welcoming reception staff. It looked like some sort of air bnb with the host still living in it. The bed was creaky , beddings flimsy, bathroom dirty. I've stayed in cheaper hostels that offered a more decent night sleep.
- Kyle (7/5): -
- Mercedes (7/5): - Bel emplacement. Le personnel très gentil et avenant. Petit déjeuner????
- Durán Tejonero (1/5): Para no repetir - Su ubicación, lo único bueno del alojamiento. Las habitaciones no tenían nada que ver con las fotos de la página.
Habitaciones sucias, camas muy incómodas y el desayuno pésimo.
- katiuscia (7/5): - Carino in se. Bagno in camera spazioso. Letto abbastanza comodo. Il plus sono i pasti Gli ospiti a lungo termine che praticamente colonizzano le camere occupando tutti gli spazi. Il mio letto non aveva luce e una delle ragazze della stanza ospitava una sua amica quindi eravamo in 4 anziché 3. Gente che mangia, vive dentro la stanza, e si appropria di ogni spazio. Il mio armadio occupato. Ogni cassetto pieno. Il bagno idem. Ho subito chiedere in prestito due stampelle che ho potuto poggiare solo sul mio letto. Un’altra delle ospiti passava il tempo a dormire e quindi non ci permetteva di aprire la finestra o accendere la luce di giorno.

- Ambar (6/5): Insatisfecha - Cercanía a todo caminando Que nunca hicieron aseo, cambio de sábanas y la comida cero variedad
