We lodged at YHA London Central as a family of six children’s ages 14 and above. This facility was super clean. Hats off to the ladies who were constantly cleaning…they deserve a raise. …

The staff were really friendly, and the hostel overall seemed well-managed and clean. My shared room was fine, though there was a faint stale smell even with the window open. Surprisingly, my room didn’t have a locker, even though it looked like other rooms did. Luckily, the staff stored my bag for me. I’d have rated the room higher if there’d been a locker and the room smelled fresher.

Absolutely great youth hostel. The only complaint I could possibly make is my dorm room was small and tightly packed in (but to be fair this should be expected in a hostel), possibly only other complaint is that the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner (once again probably to be expected in a share male dorm!).Staff are very fun, welcoming a friendly, also very helpful. The luggage storage even after you check out is very helpful. Thank you guys. Would highly recommend for budget accommodation in a very good location

Great hostel experience near the heart of London. Rooms are very affordable and the staff very helpful. Very good location within London Central as you are <15 min from everything via bus/underground. Would highly recommend if you're going in groups of 4-6.My only minor gripe was that the booking didn't tell me what kind of room our group was getting. We were expecting a 4 person room, but got a 6 person room instead.

Simply Dire,I can take the stuffy rooms with no ventilation. The lack of lockers in rooms, the lack of privacy curtains.However. The staff simply have no way of resolving conflict. Any guest being a problem is allowed to stay. It simply ruined our experience. Despite this being a youth hostel that is not the case at all and it attracts a crowd that is very impolite.

the staff very friendly and welcoming. The hostel was clean and easy to reach. However, the mattress was really worn out in the middle, making it uncomfortable to sleep on and I could feel the metal bars under it. While I mainly used the hostel for sleep, this was my Main concern . Overall, a decent stay, but because of the mattress, I had a bad sleep and can only give 3 stars.

4/5
This hostel is very good as far as value for money goes. The staff is very friendly and the location is awesome. I had some really strange roommates while staying here, probably my worst experience at a hostel so far, but that’s not the hostel’s fault. What is the hostel’s fault is the beds. I slept on the upper level of a bunk bed, and there is a pretty huge gap between the bed and the wall, meaning you’re phone is very likely to fall through there while you’re charging it in the night and wake up everyone or even break. This is an issue that would be very easily fixable with some padding. There are also no lockers at all.
