YHA London St Paul's

“Five star location for budget travelers to London, & the only night noise are Cathedral chimes!”

The location was great, in a reasonably safe part of the city. The canteen was a good size, but I wish there had been a coffee‑making area. I didn’t buy meals because I found them a bit expensive; I only wanted a small light breakfast and didn’t want to pay for a large cooked breakfast. I liked my room’s location and was happy that I didn’t have to climb many stairs to get there. I also appreciated that my request for a lower bunk was honored because I have arthritis and the top bunk would have been impossible. After staying in many hostels (both YHA and private) I really didn’t find much that I disliked about St Pauls hostel. I had wanted to stay there for several years because of its proximity to the Cathedral and the area. I didn’t see any activities, tours, or BBQ dinners, which would make it even better, I think. I’d also love to hear from YHA about hostels for older adults/retirees, and whether there are any that are most suitable, and if there is a senior discount. Elder hostels are the future, I believe.

“Great Location & Value”

The price, location, female dorm option, clean bedding, and spacious room were all positives. A male staff member at reception was friendly and informative. However, the female receptionist was very unfriendly and unwelcoming, which was a bad start; she could use customer‑service training. She buzzed the door, let me in, and listened as I lugged my heavy suitcase up the stairs to reception, only to tell me the luggage store was back down the stairs and another long flight of stairs away. No help was offered by the other five male workers behind reception.

“bon rapport qualité/prix”

The hostel is very clean, meeting our expectations. It’s ideally located, so we could do most of our visits on foot. The breakfast is simple but effective. The price‑quality ratio is unbeatable. We were able to leave our luggage in a secure place upon arrival and also on the day of departure to avoid carrying it all day. It’s quite quiet. Security is good because you have to ring or use the room card to enter the building and each space. The hostel looks fairly old, so some renovation work would be needed, especially on the stairs. The Wi‑Fi doesn’t work very well in the rooms.

The place is very well situated in a beautiful area. The shared male room was very comfortable, with enough space to store personal items.

“Teleurstellend.”

The spot’s great, 24‑hour front desk and free earplugs at reception are handy. But the rooms, beds, and lockers didn’t match the photos when I booked; they were plain metal bunk beds without curtains. The bed beneath me smelled like stale food, and the showers and toilets were dirty and never cleaned during our stay. Water didn’t drain properly in the shower, leaving it constantly wet. The door had a latch but didn’t close smoothly, so it would slam and startle us awake. We were under the stairs, so every stair‑climber sounded like an elephant pounding above us, and the lockers wouldn’t lock properly—you had to push or shove hard, and if you didn’t bring your own lock, you were stuck.
