Opinions YHA LONDON ST PAULS London

I had a lovely time staying here. It was really clean and the staff were lovely. In a brilliant location and very cheap. Would again!

showers in the hall and almost no toilets

Possibly the worst nights sleep ever. So loud. Had school group that arrived late shouting in the street and then banging up the stairs with shouting from their teachers. They then set off the fire alarms no less than 5 times at midnight after I’d finally fallen asleep from their arrival. And then multiple times in the morning. Ridiculous, hope they were fined and banned. Had constant deliveries through the night for across the road. If you are unfortunate to be staying on the road side and off course the bells going of every 15 minutes at all hours. Surely you would have double glazing knowing this constantly sound would disturb guest.

Very nice hotel, room are good and service is also very nice. Food is also good.

Oooh marvellous

Clean, round the clock reception, decent beds, nice location, wifi didn't reach the room very well, pay for towels, windows are not very sound proof and allow in lots of street noise

Loved it and we will come back again.

If you're a traveler seeking an affordable and sociable place to stay in London, NX London Hostel is a solid choice. While it may lack some frills, the overall experience is positive, especially for those prioritizing a vibrant communal atmosphere over luxury amenities,free breakfast.

Really happy with my 7D6N stay here, eventhough the hostel is not as modern as other hostels I’ve stayed in.

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.

Overall, a good hostel in an excellent location. I was there for 4 nights. Hostel is clean, excellent location. Great food option near by.

La ubicación inmejorable. Precio muy bueno para ser Londres.
La habitación era un poco antigua y pequeña, poco ventilada, pero para ir a dormir más que suficiente.
El edificio es antiguo pero está bien. Tiene varias salas comunes que están genial para descansar.
El desayuno ok.
Personal muy amable.
No recomendable si vas con carrito de bebé. Tiene unas escaleras muy empinadas para llegar hasta las habitaciones. No es accesible. Nos dejaban aparcarlo muy amablemente en una sala en el sótano, pero era un poco engorroso y poco práctico para todos los días.

Une auberge très bien située qui sert un excellent petit déjeuner britannique.

Excelente ubicación y personal muy amable. La cadena debería ofrecer cocina o algún espacio para almacenar un básico de comida

Decent hostel, good for one nights stay. I had a 8 bed dorm, beds were comfy but quite narrow. St Pauls bells rang every 15 minutes even during the night! Service and location were excellent, but only good for 1-2 nights

Hostel très agréable, très bien situé, petit déjeuner pas cher et à volonté, personnel très sympa. Seul défaut : l’auberge n’est pas toute jeune et du coup mal isolée dans les chambres (bruit, odeur humidité le matin, assez froid).

Good staff, pretty good breakfast. We got really lucky and got a room to our selfs. Unfortunately wifi did not reach our room.

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.

great location. modest rooms. Unfortunately, there were night parties and it was impossible to sleep... ;(
And grate breakfast for 10€ ;)
