YHA London Central - Hostel

Sentralt hostel som føles trygt og godt.

Sov der en natt fordi jeg hadde fly tidlig neste morgen! Funket perfekt! Hyggelig bar/hengested å være også - trygt og fint med ansatte til stede..

Fellesområdet i 1. etasje var bra. Her satt vi mye, siden rommet var grusomt, hadde ingen stoler og det var håpløst å lade mobilene det pga SVÆRT ustabil strømtilførsel. Så foajeen ble redningen. Bildet viser "vinduet" til rommet vårt. Der sov vår familie på fire, og det var vanskelig pga varme og dårlig luft, siden lufta trakk dårlig gjennom disse hullene. På rommets toalett observerte jeg sølvkre. Det hører også med til historien at YHA ikke fant reservasjonen vi hadde gjort gjennom hotels.com, slik at vi var lettet over i det hele tatt å få et rom der da vi kom ved rett før kl 24 på kvelden.

I would of like the option of reserving a top or bottom bunk bed, as one was reserved but I don’t remember be given this option. Additionally I wish I had been made more aware of the ID requirements as there was almost a issue as I forgot my passport and only have my bank card for ID. Apart from that a lovely place that I am planning on visiting again

A member of staff did not allow me to use the kitchen until after I checked in. Also they were communicating with third parties about me.

Overall very good stay, staff very friendly and helpful. Only negative was a noisy fan alright on our room.

Good spot and had everything you needed

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 hostel in fabulous location. We had our kids with us and it ws fantastic. Thanks

I realise this is a relatively low budget option but for a couple, you are far better off at a travelogue or premier inn. Poor breakfast unless you like unhealthy food.
