Staff were super nice and the location was quiet and accessible by tube. The room I stayed in was clean, it had a sink in the room, lights and charging ports for each person, and lockers. Bathrooms were clean too. It’s a simple place so don’t expect anything extravagant. The pillows are slightly uncomfortable but if you need a clean and safe place to stay for a few nights this is perfect.

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.

A nice quiet base for being in London. I really like this area and would use the hostel again, although at £140 for one night (own room) it is expensive.
