Had an amazing stay at YHA London Oxford Street Hoste in London! The location was ideal, close to major attractions and transport links. The staff were welcoming and attentive, making sure every detail was perfect. My room was comfortable, clean, and stylish, with a cozy bed for a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options – highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our 6 days in YHA London Oxford Street. We had a quiet, simple but clean room. The showers and bathrooms were tidy as well. The staff at the reception was very friendly and helpful. But of course the main plus was the location parallel to Oxford Street in the very nice Soho neighborhood and though (or because?) we had booked the room just a few days ahead we got it at a very reasonable price considering where we were.

If you want a great location for a reasonable price, I would definitely recommend this place. It was kept very clean and it was very quiet, with most fellow travelers being extremely respectful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. …

I had a great time staying here for six nights! The location was excellent, right close to several tube stations and parks and places to eat as well as not far away from major attractions. The room was cramped, but at least there were only 4 beds in it rather than the big loud rooms I've had at other hostels! The kitchen was also cramped with not much space to store food. However, the communal spaces were big and open, and the staff were super friendly. There were a few families staying here while I was there who seemed like they liked it too. Everything was clean and it was definitely good value for money. I'd choose to stay here again!

This YHA has a fantastic location. However, it is hard to connect to WiFi, and you would need to go to the third floor to connect (and sometimes it still does not get you online).We were also surprised to find a single two-person bed in the private room instead of a bunk bed that we were expecting.The breakfast is good and standard with milk, coffee, bread, fruits, and cereals.

Very friendly and helpful staff, super price point for the location (stayed in a private room - and the size was perfectly fine for a city). Other guests seemed pretty nice, looked like a broad mix of ages groups, and no overnight loud parties. In room sink useful, and the room was clean. The only reason for 4 not 5 stars was the temperamental lift hence a hike to the 5th floor, and the broken wifi.
