This is the very first hostel that I've patronized and I must say that YHA Lodon has set the trend and the bar. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

My bunk bed was against a window which was alongside the road and therefore quite noisy the first night

It is really good for its price among London's other accomodation options. The staff was really nice in helping out with my check in, luggage storage as well as finding my lost items. It is good for a short stay, just remember your own pad locks.

Excellent location
Great location and friendly reception.
The beds are clean and comfortable although the room is small. No issue if you are out all day and only come back to sleep.
