Everything is perfect except the Internet, which is extremely slow and you will spend more than 10 minutes to open google.....

The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast provided was very filling. Location was excellent, a few minutes walk from Covent Garden Market and Leicester Square.

USED TAMPONS on the floor in the toilet that were still there 3 days later. Need i say anymore? .. I will...Our room was occupied by previous people who should have already left, and the showers are automatically activated by an infrared sensor so ended up doing a NAKED HULA DANCE in front of the shower before realising that IT DID NOT WORK. Oh and THE INTERNET IS BROKEN. and the SWIPE CARDS to get into the main building DO NOT WORK.

The only thing is that fresh towels were not provided on a daily basis. Also, there waws no hot water on the first day which we were not aware of.

The hostel was in a good location with good security to the building, the beds were clean and comfy and considering the price for a central london hotel its a bargin in my books. However the kitchen was dirty and the shower wasn't great, though it did work! The kitchen had no pots or pans and no crockery either so was useless, however if you plan on eating out this wont bother you.

Really great location in central London, 2 minute walk from Holborn underground station. Room was clean and reasonably quiet seeing as it is in central London, brilliant breakfast too. Would definitely stay here again.

The LSE-Hostel is well located in centre of London very close to Oxford Street and Covent Garden. Is very clean and I can´t stop rhapsodizing about the breakfast: wide range of fresh bread, toast, croissants, sweet bread, lots of fresh fruits, jam an so on. It´s comfortable to sit there also with your Laptop. In the basement there a lots of freetime-activities like kicker, TV, great sitting area. Rooms are ok with bed and wash-bowl, what prove to be quite convenient, also wardrobe and desk.

Only the very unreliable internet access was a little disapointing, everything else was excellent. I loved the breakfast :-)))

Excelente ubicacion, entre el British Museum y el Covent Garden, estaciones de Metro cercanas. Habitacion individual muy comoda, amplia, con ventana. Cama confortable, cambian la toalla y ordenan a diario. Silencioso. Los baños compartidos estaban limpios. Tambien la cocina. Unico detalle que le agregaria es caja de seguridad a la habitacion. Personal super atento!!! Gran desayuno: yoghurt, cereal, fiambres, tostadas, jugos, te, cafe, leche, frutas!!!

Very loud Germans staying in my 'flat' (I was room 1004) they were constantly banging doors, slamming doors, shouting, loud music, generally making a racket and keeping me awake until I screamed at them. Then they stopped. Shouldn't have had to have gone that far. Except for this, I was very impressed with LSE for location and value for money.

Simple, easy and in a great location. Didn't eat there so no idea of "atmosphere" but great cost for a private single room in central London. Shared facilities were fine and generally clean, although the push button shower was quite annoying. Basic student accomadation really. I was happy and really liked the location.
