It's a good choice for a weekend, In and out of London. It has the basics a bed and a roof over your head. they do offer private rooms which is the one I got and it was perfect for me.
They offer food on site,(didn't get the chance to try it, but it smell delicious) all the transport options are within walking distance.
Such a great stay! Friendly staff, easy check in, great area, comfy beds for bunk beds. The fan in the room really helped with any city noise, and we didn’t even hear the church bells once we were asleep even with the window open!
Excellent hostile but I was surprised to find that there was no fridge or microwave for the guests. Bonus having a sink in the room. Loved the breakfast buffet option tho. Convenient location, close to many restaurants, tourist sights, and shops. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Allowed us to check in early since room was ready. Was a bit pricier than most hostiles but would definitely go back. Only thing we did not like was that no one kept the noisy guests in line. Our room was between rooms with young, foreign girls who seemed to be drunk and were extremely loud (laughing/screaming, slamming doors, running in halls) very late at night. Had absolutely no regard for other guests. They truly acted like children

Decent for youth hostel, needs better upkeep
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.
The room carpet really needs re fitted, dirty around the edge and lifting. The building stairs look like they also need replaced as there are metal supports in place.
Very very basic however it was clean and staff are friendly and informative.
Great location

I’ve stayed in many YHA’s over the years and this wasn’t one of the best. There is external work going on and I wonder if they will be updating the interiors as it’s looking somewhat shabby. The shower closest to our room didn’t work properly. I checked in very late at night and just wanted to get to bed and for sone reason the check in process took much longer than necessary
Room is not clean. It was half basement. Couldnt open the window to refresh the air. Flushing the toilet got problem. It doesnt flush all the way. No hair dryer. No wifi in the room. Staying in this hostel was terrible. Staff was really nice tho
The property is in angles almost to the perfect because it’s manned 24/7 which is great help to the customers. The property itself is well facilitated with big open lounge, kitchen, dinner and dormitories. They all were very neat, clean, tidy and well presented. Above all I felt cheap to stay in this property in the central London.
I am very pleased.
Thanks
Was clean and warm the beds a little bit uncomfortable.

It’s a hostel-
It’s a good location. Easy to find if using the tube. Good restaurants around the corner of the hostel. The building is old and of course be prepared to use a community shower and toilet. Staff was attentive.
The softest, fluffiest comforter blankets I've ever seen at a hostel!!! So cozy! Staff was friendly and helpful.
The showers and bathrooms beete Itsy bitysy and could have used some hooks, shelves, space for placing toothbrushes etc and hanging clothes while washing up.
Convenient location, right by train and metro!
