YHA offers cheap no frills accommodation. They deliver this well with clean rooms and facilities and friendly staff. I would not hesitate to go there again. If all other YHA premises are as good, I would use these also.

I just stayed for one night, with my grandson, pre Christmas London break. Great location, 5 mins walk from Earl’s Court station. Friendly , helpful staff, clean hostel, with comfy dining area. I do think youth hosteling is becoming quite expensive, £90 for a room with bunk beds and a basin is a bit steep, when a travelogue type would be so more comfy, but I’ve been hosteling for 45 years and trying to visit all the English ones, so we have another one ticked off and a stamp in the book!!!

You may like it or don’t
When assigning rooms for people if it is possible to consider the age of customer not to put people of aged at the top floor without the convenience of an elevator. Its a stuggle to go up the stairs of 4-5 levels. I know its beyond your control but its a gamble if you have companion in the room that acts like he owns the whole room and snores through out the night.

Great property. Cleaned daily. Perfect spot for transit on the Piccadilly line. Booked a 4 bed (6 person) private room for me and 3 other people. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. A true steal.
