I've been staying at Leinster House Hostel since September 2022, and overall, it has been a fantastic experience. The welcoming atmosphere and strong sense of community among staff and guests make it a truly special place. The location is perfect for exploring the city, and the facilities are well-kept.Cyril, the house manager, and Nadia, the assistant manager, have been exceptional in their roles. Their dedication and support create a positive environment, ensuring that everyone feels at home.However, one aspect that could be improved is the volunteer accommodation. The current six-bed bunk rooms can feel a bit cramped, making it challenging to find personal space. A shift to smaller configurations, such as three or four sharing, would greatly enhance the comfort for volunteers.Despite this, Leinster House Hostel remains a wonderful place to volunteer and connect with people from around the world. With a few adjustments to the room setup, it could become even more enjoyable!

I had a fantastic experience here! The location is perfect—just a short walk from both Bayswater and Queensway tube stations, making it super easy to get around London. The hostel itself was clean and well-maintained. My room was cosy and comfortable, just what I needed after a long day of sightseeing.What really stood out to me was the staff. They were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with any questions I had, whether it was about the best local restaurants or directions to nearby attractions. For the price, it’s great value, especially considering the central location. Highly recommended!
