YHALondonSt Pauls

I stayed in this hostel for 5 nights from 1st of March to 6th of March. Pros: + I slept in a 4 bed room + The best thing of this hostel is his location. There a lot of ways to get from A to B. Underground is 5 minutes to walk and there are a hand full of busses next to the hostel that go down to favorite places. + There are small rooms if you want to take a shower. They are clean as well. + Toilets get clened up every morning + WiFi is available (but didn't work as I was there) Cons: - Hand sinks are very bad. Its even hard to wash one hand. - If you buy a breakfast you get every single day the same things it's not worth to pay 5£. I recommend you to get some breakfast outside the hostel and further you don't need to pay the breakfast when you book the hostel. You can get the breakfast for the same price at the reception. - The badest thing of this hostel is that due the age of the building there is only ONE plug for recharging your devices. There is no option to get an multi socket plug so you've to share the one plug. - When you want to do your breakfast in my oppinion the service team there is rude. They should be a little bit more friendly. Overall if you can live with the cons you get a good hostel for a good price which has a very very good location in Zone 1 near to underground an busses.

I stayed in a 6-bed dorm for two nights in Feb 2013. Hostel is very convenient with a bus stop 100 yards away which takes you straight to Trafalgar Square. Very quiet at night even though you're right at the side of the magnificent St Paul's cathedral. The bells ring in the day and are lovely to hear. Very clean and well organised. Only slight drawback is no self-catering kitchen but this is a minor quibble. Brand new loos and shower rooms too. Highly recommended.

The five of us (Parents & 3 kids) stayed in a room which was perfectly suited for our requirements whilst we spent the weekend doing the sights of London. We had evening meal and breakfast in the hostel and a few beers which were all very good value for money. Would highly recommend for a family as it feels more kid friendly than most hotels.
