    Wifi service need to get upgraded. Couldn’t connect to it for more than one minute. I’m unsure but it seems like they get constant school visits, and I can only imagine every kid having a device that needs to use the wifi service.

    Good location. Family friendly. Sink inside the room.

    It was noisy from all the young people partying and coming to the last floor and trying our door thinking it's a way for them to get to the roof (the door didn't have a number on so I assume this is why they were tempted). The room was very basic and the bed needed a second mattress

    Great location and a very big room

    It's a little far to travel from the front door to our room. The massive kitchen is not available for guests to cook for themselves which is a big shame. It's right next to the St Paul's church so we hear the bell every hour all night.

    We booked a 5ppl family room, they don't have any vacancy on the day so they gave us an 8 ppl room. There's a little courtyard right outside as well. The bathroom and toilet are not too far away, WIFI is strong. The bedsheet seems fresh, the kitchen is massive! properly the biggest kitchen compared to other hostels I stayed before. Super location, 2 mins walk to the St Paul's church, Along with restaurants, bars, and shops. The breakfast looks great but we didn't purchase it.

    the only minus is probably that there is no soundproofing at all. at night they could not fall asleep for a long time and often woke up because of the noise from the street

    very good location and very reasonable price

    because of my late booking, I was on the top floor and I have a bad knee. but in saying that I was ok.

    The room was great. most of the roommates were respectful. The staff were exceptional and very friendly. I arrived in the evening and was greeted and looked after. The showers and toilets were clean and in very good condition. The location is second to none in London. Being in Black Friars is a great place to base a London adventure. The towels were clean and breakfast was great. I didn't get chance to eat at night but from what I saw it looked great

    Very beautiful old building on the outside but more run down on the inside. Oil heater takes a long time to heat the room. As the building is old, there is a lot of noise in the corridors. Weak breakfast.

    The location is brilliant! Easy transportation to the centre and easy to walk to the main attractions. Only 2 steps from cathedral and river. Nice staff. Very nice old building.

    Unfortunately, the showers on the 2nd floor were in poor condition. One was under maintenance, another had a broken latch, one more had a malfunctioning shower, and the only functional one had an unpleasant odor. The croissants were not flaky and seemed below average. While there were positive aspects to my stay, the issues with the showers and the I hope the hostel can address these concerns for a more enjoyable experience for guests.

    The hostel’s proximity to St. Paul’s Cathedral and Blackfriars Station is a major plus. Cozy rooms with convenient charging stations made the stay comfortable.The breakfast offered was decent with limited options (£10 for English and continental buffet), and the reception staff was friendly and accommodating.
