My bunk bed was against a window which was alongside the road and therefore quite noisy the first night
This is the very first hostel that I've patronized and I must say that YHA Lodon has set the trend and the bar. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.
Very convenient as a stop over before catching Eurostar. However, room was very warm, even though temperature outside was not particularly high. A fan was provided, but was noisy. Did not make for a good night's sleep. Bracket for shower hose was broken, making showering tricky.
We enjoyed our stay at YHA. The accomodation is conveniently close to everything. We loved that restaurants/cafes/bars and shops were within walking distance.
It is really good for its price among London's other accomodation options. The staff was really nice in helping out with my check in, luggage storage as well as finding my lost items. It is good for a short stay, just remember your own pad locks.
Great location and friendly reception.
The beds are clean and comfortable although the room is small. No issue if you are out all day and only come back to sleep.
