Staffs are nice and willing to help. Good location, near bus stops and tube stations and also attractions.

Pongsathon, United Kingdom

Thank goodness there is a floor fan that oscillates as there is not a bit of cross ventilation possible. Besides the inner court yard/garden, there are two lounges. The staff are great. I told one about a toilet floor filled with water and he checked on it and cleaned it up immediately. It seems people try to wash their face in the tiny sink and end up spilling all over the floor, even though there is a sink in each room which is bigger. The kitchen was cleaned every night and it was well stocked. With designated lockers/beds and reading lights/plugs, the place is organized.

The hostel was in a safe location with transport and supermarkets very close by. It provided good options with a onsite café, kitchen and pleasant garden area. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Good location and very clean! I had a private room (first time at a hostel) bathrooms are very clean and was right next door to my room! Would definitely stay again in London

Holly, Australia

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Accommodated my late check in with ease. Bed was really comfy so had a really great nights sleep. Great facilities in hostel and around the individual dorm rooms too.

Proximity to Earl's Court Tube station (Pro tip this station is perfect for Heathrow passengers as it's outside the central Tube Zone 1 which means the fare is only £1.50 to LHR YHA properties are my go-to hostels for London and the UK.

“Ol' reliable.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveller
- • Bunk Bed in Female Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The building is old and the floors are very loud--lots of loose boards and squeaking. Also, although the doors close securely, they also bang loudly if left to close by themselves. I'm "older"and I am careful to hold the door so it closes as quietly as I can manage it. "Younger" or newbie travelers don't seem to be quite aware of quiet-verses-loud door closings. I wish the management had some sort of "help this door close quietly" signs around. Also, it seems every door needs oiling, the hinges also squeaked.
눇Thank goodness there is a floor fan that oscillates as there is not a bit of cross ventilation possible. Besides the inner court yard/garden, there are two lounges. The staff are great. I told one about a toilet floor filled with water and he checked on it and cleaned it up immediately.

“Quite a nice hostel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
눉The breakfast was a disaster for 5 pounds. Awful bread, awful "croissants" no selection of fruit, just super cheap supermarket ham and cheese. The only saving grace was the Coffee. Better to get the tesco or boots "meal deal" for 3 pounds. I made a mistake on one of my orders, I accidentally booked a room the day before I arrived. Although the member of staff was very polite he suggested we may be able to transfer the credit of the room if i decided to stay. Unfortunately that turned out to not be possible and I had to pay quite alot. It was of course my mistake, but it would have been nice if they could have mitigated some of my losses.
눇The staff were amiable and friendly. the atmosphere was generally good and as expected with an upper-tier hostel, the patrons were also very friendly and outgoing The beds were quite comfy and the rooms were spacious.

눉Knew and appreciated that there was a charge for towels but the cost wasn't made clear on the website. We were shocked to be asked up front for £35 for use of 5 towels. It was explained that part of payment would be refunded but this was of no use to us.This stay was at the final part of our trip so money was tight. If we were aware of the charge we would have budgeted for this extra cost.
눇Close proximity to tourist attractions.

눉There was a fan operating all the night close to my bed, I woke up early morning tired. Also malice female from other room who was not happy with her sleeping condition she started loud conversation complaining to other female at the corridor - despite she knew that people are still sleeping in other room.
눇You feel relatively safe and comfortable.
