Such a great stay! Friendly staff, easy check in, great area, comfy beds for bunk beds. The fan in the room really helped with any city noise, and we didn’t even hear the church bells once we were asleep even with the window open!

It's a good choice for a weekend, In and out of London. It has the basics a bed and a roof over your head. they do offer private rooms which is the one I got and it was perfect for me. They offer food on site,(didn't get the chance to try it, but it smell delicious) all the transport options are within walking distance.

这里没有楼梯，如果你有大行李，最好慎重考虑。由于离教堂非常近，钟声每隔15分钟或者一小时敲一次，半夜十二点连敲十二下。睡眠轻的容易被钟声弄醒。员工很好态度很好，旅客们都很有礼貌，邻居的噪音没有想象中的大。 No elevators, consider this if you have large luagges. Very close to the cathedral, the bell ring every 15 min to 1 hour, even in mid night (12 pm). If you are light sleeper, think carefully. The staff is friendly and helpful, neibours are polite and noise from neighbors are less than I imagined Convenient for transportation

Basic

The room carpet really needs re fitted, dirty around the edge and lifting. The building stairs look like they also need replaced as there are metal supports in place. Very very basic however it was clean and staff are friendly and informative. Great location

Excellent hostile but I was surprised to find that there was no fridge or microwave for the guests. Bonus having a sink in the room. Loved the breakfast buffet option tho. Convenient location, close to many restaurants, tourist sights, and shops. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Allowed us to check in early since room was ready. Was a bit pricier than most hostiles but would definitely go back. Only thing we did not like was that no one kept the noisy guests in line. Our room was between rooms with young, foreign girls who seemed to be drunk and were extremely loud (laughing/screaming, slamming doors, running in halls) very late at night. Had absolutely no regard for other guests. They truly acted like children

Ok

I’ve stayed in many YHA’s over the years and this wasn’t one of the best. There is external work going on and I wonder if they will be updating the interiors as it’s looking somewhat shabby. The shower closest to our room didn’t work properly. I checked in very late at night and just wanted to get to bed and for sone reason the check in process took much longer than necessary

Decent for youth hostel, needs better upkeep

Not bad for a youth hostel. I booked a two-bed private room for my friend and myself to split. It was comfortable enough, and it was nice having a wash sink in the room so that we didn't need to go to the shared toilets every time we needed a sink. The beds had built-in power outlets, however they didn't really work well. We ended up using the wall outlets to charge our electronics. We were also right next to the showers but one of them was out of order. The toilets were at the end of the hall but one of them was out of order as well, so I ended up needing to wait for one to become available a couple times. It wasn't too noisy considering we were facing a busy street and some people complain about the bells coming from St. Paul's being distracting as they ring essentially every 15 minutes, but I got used to it pretty quickly and was able to sleep just fine. Wifi is only available in the shared spaces and not the rooms, so that might be difficult for people who rely on wifi connection. We didn't take advantage of their breakfast offerings, though they seem to have a nice variety of hot and cold food to choose from. They even seemed to have a couple vegan items that I could have eaten, but I wasn't going to pay nearly £10 just to only eat like two items. Check in and check out were easy.

Flott og hyggelig service

Var bra nok i forholdet til priser og nok plass til klær i skapet og kofferten under senga og eien vask på rommet, dusj og toalett var utenfor rommet. Hadde gjerne kunne satt opp micro om varme litt mat ellers vannkoker/ minikjøkken om kunne lage litt mat. Service var veldig hyggelig og behjelpelig. Kort vei til buss/tog og ikke mye lyden fra veien som er i nærheten , bare noe lyd fra klokka fra katedral men ikke plagsomt.
