YHA LONDON ST PAULS
Youth hostel close to Saint Paul's Cathedral underground station. In the heart of the City in London.
This youth hostel is located in the former choir building of Saint-Paul Cathedral and just 100 m from it, close to the metro station of the same name. Very well located to access the city's main historical sites, it also has all the necessary comfort. Library, television lounge and games room are at your disposal. Cleanliness and quality breakfast, continental and english breakfast, are also two arguments in favour of this cheap address where you will always meet people.

Members' reviews on YHA LONDON ST PAULS
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
The staffs were excellent. Always happy to help you and answer all the questions you have.
They only have one shower room each at two of the floors I went to, which initially made me worried. But I never had to queue to shower, and it’s always kept in clean condition.
The bells of St Paul’s does ring often, but wasn’t loud enough to disrupt your rest. I never needed earbuds.
They have two options for breakfast: English breakfast and the continental menus ie. cereals, croissants, etc. The English breakfast was always delicious and helps to keep you full while exploring London.
Location was good, only a few minutes walk to the bus stop and underground. To St Pancras was just 10 minutes which was important to me as I depart/arrive in London there. It was near to some of the places I want to go to ie. Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe and St Paul’s of course, and to other places around 30 minutes by public transport which makes sense to me because London is huge.
Downsides as I mentioned, not as modern as other hostels ie. Wombat’s, but YHA makes up for it in all the other aspects. I’ve stayed at Wombat’s hostels in Vienna and Budapest, so from what I read through the reviews, they have the same issues ie. stuffy rooms, need to make your own bed, too simple choice of breakfast and it was also the highly expensive compared to other hostels. For the price Wombat’s is charging, I would expect a level of service similar (or better) than YHA.
I would definitely stay at this hostel or their other locations next time I’m in London.
