I was only here a few hours but I would have been very worried about the number of bathrooms/showers available per floor. It is a little hard to find and pretty far walk to the underground station. The hostel was very clean. You need your own lock for the lockers and it seems like the hole for your lock is a little smaller than normal. I took one look at it and said, "my lock isn't fitting in there". They do have tiny key operated locks available for purchase for 3 pounds. Wi-Fi is extra.

Great hostel. More expensive than most, but well worth it. I would definitely stay here again.

This hostel is clean, friendly and in an amazing location. It doesn't quite live up to the excellence of the YHA Oxford Street but unfortunately that hostel is near impossible to get into. I would definitely stay here again.

The location is good, very close to oxford circus. I stayed in a six beds dorm, all the facilities were clean and tidy, especially the toilet and the bathroom which the ventilation was really good. Everything dried off quickly. The staff were helpful. =)

I liked the way they decorated the walls, very original. Breakfast was good value for money. Rooms were clean and rather spacious. The only minus I feel about this hostel is that it costs extra to use internet despite bringing your own computer. And the internet does not reach the rooms. But that is not necessarily bad either since it enhances social contact and ppl can not stay up online all night. All in all I recommend this hostel.

I thought there was a slight shortage of cups in the kitchen. I also got the impression that the toilets were shared by a large number of people - although they were clean, it seemed like a minimal service on that point.

The staff was really awesome and helpful! We were also lucky to have great roommates. It was a little hard to find at first, but definitely worth the money.

The showers were awful (impossible to adjust water pressure & direction, making it impossible to shower without getting your hair wet), but everything else was great.

I really enjoyed my stay at YHA London Central. The hostel is very clean and very well secured. The staff was very friendly too, I was on my own and they kept saying that I could always ask them if I needed anything. Location was perfect, just a five minute walk to Oxford Street! Breakfast wasn't included but there is a supermarket and Starbucks just around the corner. I would definitely stay here again and recommend YHA to everyone!

I am not a member of the YHA It would assist if websites used for booking openly revealed that a membership fee is payable in addition to room cost

We had an awesome time there. The staff were very kind and always ready to help. The kitchen was always clean and the rooms were small but comfortable enough. And what's more: the location is great!

Had a great stay at YHA London central. Staff were fantastic. The lounge area is brilliant, really nice area to have a chat to fellow travellers or unwind after a busy day in the streets of london. Rooms are spacious enough to handle the guest and the bathrooms are really well kept. Will be returning before my time in europe expires. Cheers YHA!

i've stayed here a few times now. I've previously stayed on the upper floors and had nice rooms. This time I stayed on the ground floor and found the dorm room to be a bit stuffy (no windows, except a sky light). Good location.

I really liked this hostel. It was in a good area & close to the tube. Helpful staff, clean rooms just a shame there's no free wifi.

We spend very nice holidays in your hostel. We particularly enjoyed the events organised by the hostel: the musical 'Wicked' and the Camden Pub Crawl. The staff was really helpful and nice. The kitchen was always very clean and well fitted.
