Guest Reviews

- Balk (9/5): -
- Enes (10/5): Çok iyi bir hostel deneyimiydi, konumu gayet güzel, odalar temiz ve büyük, lavabolar ve banyolar temizdi, sonraki londra - Temizdi, odalar gayet geniş, konumu harika Tuvaletlerdeki lavabolar çok küçüktü
- Renee (9/5): - Every staff member I spoke with was lovely and hospitable! They were a real highlight. The location was perfect, within walking distance to attractions, bus stops, groceries, take aways and restaurants. The wifi was spotty in the rooms but was good in the common areas.
The shower water went everywhere in the cubicle and it didn't have anywhere to drain to.

- T'homs (8/5): Emplacement de l'établissement est exceptionnel. Chambre propre et le personnel est serviable. - Emplacement exceptionnel, locaux et chambre propres. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et le personnel serviable.
Toutes les portes sont sécurisées et l'accueil est ouvert 24/24H. RAS
- Minyoung (7/5): - 중심가에 위치해있어 접근이 쉽고 청결한 편이다 객실 내 세면대 존에 간이문이나 커튼이 설치되있다면 생활소음에 대한 방음이 더 잘 될 것 같다.
- Max (7/5): just about managed to get some good sleep, but it was touch & go for the first few hours with bells - Everything except... cathedral bells throughout the night
- Moreau (3/5): -

- David (7/5): -
- Fanny (10/5): Super, je recommande, facile , propre et excellent service et emplacement ! - C'était super, nous avions pas pris de petit-déjeuner mais tout était parfait Peut-être les lits étaient un peu petits, et nous entendions nos voisins tard dans la nuit.
- Katherine (8/5): -
- Rosângela Cassante (8/5): Ótima localização e acomodação boa - Camas confortáveis e roupa de cama limpas Do carpete no quarto
- Simone (9/5): - Un ostello pulitissimo e affascinante per la sua struttura (l'antica scuola di coro della Cattedrale). La mia stanza, nell'antico solaio, è forse la più ampia che abbia mai avuto nei miei viaggi (in rapporto al numero di letti, 8), con grandi armadietti, spazi d'appoggio, lavandino vicino alla porta, ampie finestre, bella vista, letto comodo e con mensolina... Davvero tutto il necessario.
La posizione, anche, è eccezionale, in pieno centro e vicina a bus e metro (Mansion House, Blackfriars), oltre che a bar, ristoranti, lungofiume, cattedrale, ecc.
Credo che a Londra tornerò sempre a dormire qui. È come un porto sicuro in una città molto costosa. La prenotazione è possibile solo senza rimborso.
Non ci sono ascensori e l'interno è un po' labirintico, ma è OK, vista l'antichità della struttura! È una piccola "avventura".
L'unico servizio di pasti disponibile è il catering a base di pizza. C'è una mensa che prepara colazione e cena a vista, MA a quanto ho capito in reception, è un servizio riservato ai gruppi numerosi (es. classi di scuola).
Si può comunque consumare il proprio pasto nella sala, e ci sono i rubinetti gratuiti dell'acqua.
Essendoci la cattedrale accanto, aspettatevi un po' di scampanate (brevi) anche a tarda sera/mattina presto. Utili, se siete sensibili, i tappi per orecchie.
- Philippa (7/5): Love the location but not for these old bones! - The location is exceptional, surrounded by old buildings & of course the Cathedral itself. And despite the constant bell ringing, it didn’t stop me from sleeping. The hostel is a short walk to the tube that can take you all over London. I think £100+ per night with shared bathroom facilities & seventy steep steps to the room is a bit much.
Disappointing they only serve a continental breakfast these days.
- Lucille (7/5): Clean rooms with a lot of space - The emplacement The stairs are a bit dangerous
- no one (8/5): -
- Brooklyn (7/5): -
- Alenka (10/5): - Zelo čisto, prijazno osebje, prijeten hostel.
- DalilaDiniz (9/5): Excelente - Funcionários extremamente simpáticos e prestativos. Quarto e wc limpos e confortáveis.
Espaço para guardar a bagagem antes e após a estadia. Bastante seguro. Tinha aquecedor. Muito bem localizado, perto do metro e de várias paragens de autocarro. Supermercado e restaurantes por perto. Toalhas não incluídas. As tomadas no hotel têm USB embutido, mas nenhuma funcionava, no entanto um funcionário forneceu-nos prontamente um adaptador para USB. Instalações um bocadinho antigas, o chão era de madeira e rangia, carpete não é muito higiénico.
- Krystyna (10/5): Na budżetowy wypad w sam raz, polecam! - Dogodna lokalizacja, można zwiedzać Londyn praktycznie pieszo. Pokój czysty, wszystko ok. Obsługa bardzo miła i pomocna. Polecam
- Jorge (8/5): Calidad, precio bastante aceptable - La ubicación tenía buena conexión y permitía moverse con facilidad. Buen trato del equipo y las habitaciones para ser un hostel no estaban mal Si es cierto que las escaleras estaban apuntaladas y daba la sensación de que podía caerse el edificio en un momento a otro. Por lo demás bien
- Lisa (3/5): - Hostel is redelijk rustig gelegen, goede locatie! Hygiëne is middelmatig, er hangt geen frisse geur, het is er erg warm, ziet er niet proper uit.
- Rosemary (8/5): Having walked past so many times, it was so much better than expected, really fab stay - An old school repurposed for a yha- lots of original details kept in place. Very friendly helpful staff - really quiet, wonderful to hear St Paul’s clock bells and they were no disturbance at all. Ability to leave left luggage an absolute godsend. Fab location Lugging luggage up and the stairs
- mmar.alvarez (7/5): Ideal visita a Londres - El Hostel està bé i compleix la funció de dormir al centre de Londres.
LEs habitacions estan bé i els serveis eren nets, i en el nostre cas, just al costat, cosa que ens va anar molt bé. Pels clients del Hostel el deixar les bosses a les guixetes hauria de ser gratuït.
- Christophe (8/5): - Petit déjeuner trop simple pour le prix
- Susanna (7/5): Convenient and basic - Conveniently located Inaccessible for those with mobility needs, with lots of steps and ups and downs.
- Claire (8/5): -
- Denise (9/5): - Localuzaçao, staff, A cortina do duche poderia ser mais comprida, molha o chão da casa de banho
- Lucia (9/5): - Very good location, walking distance to many tourist places. Clean shower and toilets, room (female only) was spacious, each bed with a lamp and an el. socket. :) I would appreciate a shared kitchen, but that's just my personal wish. Other than that, my stay was nice.
- janan (10/5): A clean, convenient, and safe place to stay. Ulubeq was very helpful. I would recommend it highly. - Everything went well very convenient Nothing
- Paulina (4/5): Cheap stay - Location Flooded shower, staff spoke Spanish thinking that the customers wouldn’t understand, noise from street
- Nicolai (8/5): -
- Radoslaw (10/5): - Undoubtedly, the hostel's biggest advantage is its location. Everything is close by, with all attractions within a 30-minute walk. The staff is wonderful and helpful. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back. Best Regards Radoslaw

- Ben mohamed (8/5): Très bon séjour, tout était très propre et le personnel toujours là - Le personnel est vraiment très sympathique et toujours là en cas de besoin. L’état du bâtiment
- Marcel (8/5): -
- Capucine (7/5): Endroit propre et bien desservi - L’emplacement est parfait, proche de tout, en plein centre.
La chambre, la douche et les lieux sont très propres.
Le personnel est très gentil et serviable. Le bruit la nuit était assez désagréable et dommage.
- Natalia (8/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): Magnifica estancia para ir con la familia - Si
- Claire (8/5): Welcoming and excellent service - The staff bent over backwards to support me. I found them kind, friendly and welcoming. The room was spotless and the bed v comfortable. The shower was hot. The USB port in Rm 4 doesn’t work.
- Debby (8/5): Amazing location, friendly staff, scrupulously clean - Excellent location, extremely clean and well organised, friendly staff and able to hire towels and buy anything else needed either there or locally. Surrounded by excellent restaurants and lively bars. Love the sound of the cathedral bells! All was as expected- the shared toilets and showers were scrupulously clean - must be done throughout the day and night to be that good. All communal area were clean and homely. Excellent youth hostel.
- Kun (10/5): -
- Madita (7/5): - Die Lage ist toll. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und für den Preis war alles wirklich gut Leider ist es etwas hellhörig, sodass man einen Großteil der Nacht noch Gepolter im Flur gehört hat
- Lucy Margaret (8/5): Decent hostel, good location. Staff very friendly and helpful. - Decent hostel, good location. Staff very friendly and helpful. They don’t provide towels

- Christopher (8/5): -
- alexandra (8/5): - sijainti on todellakin lyömätön, ikkunasta näkyy st. paul's katedraalin kulma, joelle muutama minuutti, tate moderniin kymmenisen, liverpool streetin rautatieasema on lyhyen kävelymatkan päässä (20minuuttia rentoa kävelyä).
huone oli iso, sängyt yllättävän mukavia ja petivaatteet ihanantuntuisia.
puolenyön jälkeen hiljeni myös ulkomaailma.
vessoja ja suihkuja oli tarpeeksi, ei kertaakaan tarvinnut jonottaa, mutta paikka ei ollut täynnä, 10-hengen huoneessamme nukkui viisi.
päivärespat olivat erittäin ystävällisiä. en epäröisi tulla uudelleen. yhteiset tilat vaatisivat hieman kohennusta, WiFi toimii ainoastaan yhteistiloissa ja aamupala (ekstramaksusta) on edullinen mutta melko vaatimaton, mutta hintaan nähden ei oikein ole valittamisen varaa.
- Maria (7/5): - Excellent location - steps from St Paul's Cathedral, a short walk from the Millennium Bridge, a coffee shop just across the street, Tesco 3 minutes away.
Clean bedding, sink conveniently located in the room. Friendly staff, especially those in the kitchen area. Going to the room through the corridors with 6 or 7 sets of key-entry doors, through narrow winding staircases with a carry-on was a workout.
Sugary breakfast (pastries, toasts, jams), the only protein was ham/pork, no eggs. There was fresh fruit though.
The kitchen / breakfast area had loads of tables but only 2 electric outlets in the entire hall, so first come/first serve if you're planning to work on a laptop or charge your phone.

- Victoria (10/5): -
- Andrea (7/5): - Die Lage und das Gebäude Die Lautstärke durch die Schüler Gruppe um 6Uhr morgens und die unglaublich laute Glocke von St Pauls. Und die Dusche - naja....
Aber für ein Youth Hostel alles grob in Ordnung. Personal sehr freundlich!

- Dominique (6/5): Schlaflose Nächte - Gutes Personal, Lage und Sauberkeit Die Zimmer und Betten sind sehr klein. Das Hostel ist direkt neben dem St. Pauls Dom, dessen Kirchturm alle 15min 1-12 mal läutet. Generell war das Zimmer sehr hellhörig und zu warm.
- Umarah (9/5): -
- Sema (7/5): - Location is perfect 👌 Toilets could have been cleaned more frequently.
- Neary (3/5): Get what you pay for - Was central in London,a nice cafe over the road and 6 min walk from the underground. The noise is very loud you will be waking up throughout the night people screaming, banging, door slamming and st.Paul’s bell going off throughout the night. Next, the room was clean enough to use however, the mattress on the beds are like sleeping on a blue physical education mat used in primary schools. Could feel the structure of the bed in our backs and had pain when we woke up. The picture I have included is what the “mattress” is :

- Airton (5/5): It was cheap, but wouldnt go again... - It's well located near a metro stattion. The carpet made the corridor to enter my room be stinky.
They dont tell you but here is a church near, you need to wear ear plugs to sleep. The bell rings every 15 min (including between 0am to 6am).
The breakfast was not worth it. A lot of industrual stuff, they were not tasty. Better to go buy your breakfast in another place.
- Jannis (8/5): - Für das, was es ist, völlig in Ordnung. Lage mitten in der Stadt unschlagbar, dazu noch zu dem Preis.
Toilette/Dusche sauber. Es waren in unserem Flur 1 Toilette & 1 Dusche für 16 Betten. Wenn die wirklich alle belegt sind könnte es vermutlich unangenehm werden.
Insgesamt schon recht abgewohnt.
Das YHA Earl's Court ist mMn besser.
- Abraham (8/5): - Helpful staff, cleanliness, comfortable bed, worth the money Too loud outside to sleep. Walls too thin, no soundproof.
- Vikram (10/5): - Friendly staff Only one shower room for 16 beds. This is limiting.
- José Pedro (8/5): great location for a great price. - great location for a great price.
- Migal (9/5): - Розташування, привітний персонал Трішки щумно
- Ainsworth (8/5): Positive - Great location, lovely staff. Toilet/shower and bedroom could have been cleaner.
- Ajay (5/5): It’s average - Location is okay but room table is not clean all electronic socket are damage it’s not working Location is okay but room table is not clean all electronic socket are damage it’s not working
- David (8/5): - Clean, comfortable, decent sized lockers, helpful staff No kitchen for use, but that can be common in city hostels these days sadly. Just wanted some hot water to brew myself a quick coffee.
- Gobbo (10/5): -
- Vishwakarma (7/5): -
- Chloe (7/5): Cheap and cheerful for a short stay (but it's noisy here!) - - perfect location, it's so close to St Paul's cathedral.
- it was a last minute booking and definitely a good value for a hostel.
- good sized room for a family of 4
- free earplugs
- little activity packs for the children
- lots of facilities and handy for being on the go - it's noisy on a night. If you have ear plugs, bring them with you. Or take advantage of free ones on the counter.
- the communal toilets were unclean and one of the nearby showers out of use.
- Joana (10/5): -
- Desmidt (4/5): - De locatie is zeer goed en het personeel vriendelijk. Het is zeer goedkoop, waardoor je ook niet te veel mag verwachten. Er zaten verschillende scholen, waardoor het zeer druk en luid kon zijn. Over het algemeen is de staat van het gebouw een beetje vergane glorie. Je kan bagage enkel veilig achterlaten indien je cash ponden in een locker steekt. Zeer beperkt sanitair.
- oliveira (10/5): Thank u so much - ❤️ ❤️
- Thatiane Caroline De Oliveira (9/5): -
- Fernando (9/5): Perfect Hostel - It's my second time there and its perfect to stay for a few days. The location is perfect. Maybe the bathrooms are too small.
