The bed in the dormitory was excellent but the light didn't work. One tap in the en-suite toilet didn't work and the sink blocked.

I was disappointed that there wasn't a tomato, cucumber, egg option with breakfast but the fruit was very good and I enjoyed the yoghurt.

Generally I felt very comfortable and the location and value for money were excellent.

I love staying at YHA hostels around the world you know what your getting (great staff clean and tidy) the only issue that I had was in the room I was staying in (which I can’t remember the number) had no lockers to store your stuff. So any valuable items you would need to take with you, luckily I was there for one night so I had no issues but I know some other people in the room found it odd

Ideal location and staff were super helpful when i had to stay another night. When i was visiting there were massive groups of children visiting on a school / summer school type trip so just something to be aware of - if you're use used to hostels with just adults. otherwise great stay.

Fantastic common area, friendly staff, useful kitchen amenities, fairly comfortable bed and the blackout curtains helped a lot.

People were quiet so I could have a good sleep. Bathroom was large and clean.
Location on a side street meant the whole area was quiet but still 10-20 minutes walk from lots of attractions/points of interest.

One thing I didn't like was the confusion about double-booking beds/ wrong assignment of beds - but it was sorted easily and everyone was happy in the end.

I stayed in a 4 beds dorm for two nights and I had a group of polite roommates. The staffs in the reception were very polite. This hostel is located not far from Euston station and Oxford circus. Both are walkable. The four-bed dorm has its own bathroom within the dorm which is quite convenient. However, it’s a little bit too warm during summer as no aircon in the building. And there is no locker in the room and no curtain for each bed.

There were three of us and we stayed in a private room with a private bathroom. There were two bunk beds, no TV, you have to rent the towel and no toiletries. There's hardly any space for our luggage. We have to go to the laundry area in the basement to use our hair dryer-- I was told the power plug in our room bathroom can't handle it. This is a hostel so the lack of space and amenities is understandable. It's pretty close to train stations and a Tesco, some restaurants around the area, but we never tried any. The one elevator broke two days before our check-out. Luckily, we were only on the 2nd floor so, not it wasn't a big deal bringing down our luggage using the stairs. This is our first time in a hostel and although the experience isn't bad at all, I will most likely not book another one.

Unfortunately it was a very noisy night so this gets off to a bad start. There is no air conditioning so on a hot summer night we needed to open the window. The noise from outside and then inside at 3am resulted in little sleep.

Yha review

I booked five nights at the YHA but ended up having to check out and find another place to stay after two nights because I couldn’t get much sleep at night. In my room there were a few guests who always came back past midnight and move around loudly to wake me up. One night they were up until 2am and so was I :( The hostel staff was kind to offer me to switch to another room, but I didn’t want to risk not getting sleep for another night so I declined. I was not offered any refund.

That said, on the positive side, the hostel is at a very central location, has a nice common area, and the bed is comfortable.

Place is clean enough, there is no wifi in the rooms so you must go down to the lobby to connect, not a big deal. Most of the staff was very kind and accommodating. However, on our final night, in the early morning of Thursday 07/11 all the outlets in our room stopped working. A friend and I went downstairs to charge our phones so that we wouldn't miss our flight in the morning. We were rudely told that we couldn't lie down (not to sleep, just for comfort) while we waited for a charge, even after explaining the situation. The two young men and their hostile behavior that night really soured our stay. Their attitude remained cold and indifferent as we packed our things at 3 AM and left, feeling very unwelcome.

This is a great place to stay for a short trip to London. This was my first experience in a hostel and it was pretty good. The staff are really great and provide a lot of information about the area! There's also a free walking tour that starts at the building every morning. I stayed in a 4 bunk room with an attached bathroom and it was great for what it was. Honestly, it felt like I was back in a college dorm room, which is not a bad thing. They provide lockers to keep your stuff safe when you're out and about and I was able to fit my backback and carry-on sized luggage inside. They also have a separate room for storing larger luggage and a full size kitchen/lounge area. They do not provide padlocks, but they are available for purchase at the front desk if you forget to bring one like i did. It's also within walking distance to a tube station and within walking distance to the British Museum (highly highly recommend if you care anything about history) and SoHo. I would definitely consider staying here again, but probably not longer than a few days as I like my personal space. Overall, it was a good experience and if you like packing light and don't mind just the bare necessities it's a perfect place to stay.

Great location, Friendly staff, Not enough toilets

The hostel is a 8min walk to Oxford street, and it's pretty close to several underground lines. Staffs are friendly and helpful, feel free to ask! The only problem is the amount of toilets and shower room. For example, in second floor, there are two toilets and two shower rooms in total for around 30 visitors (when its fully booked), and that may lead to you to wait. Not a major issue, but I think that should be improved. All in all, I had a pleasant stay at YHA, cheers.
