YHA London St Pauls Reviews

Very bad price for a so small and so cheap room and cheap service, not confortable, no double bed, no charmed, old and bad shape of bathroom.... No information available from the reception. Very expensive for a old youth hostel. Only one good thing : the location.

They need more plugs! There's no plugs inside de bathroons or inside the rooms

It is a great delight to stay at this hostel. I allays find the staff to be friendly and helpful. The hostel is just around the corner from St Paul's Cathedral ....

The hostel is located about one minute away from St Paul's, which means very convenient access to the Central Line (underground). The room was clean. Shared bathrooms for an entire floor will of course hardly ever be really clean (particularly in the morning). But there were plenty of bathrooms available.

Not so cheap hostel in the heart of the city of London. No other impressing features unfortunately, as it wasnt the cleanest or most comfortable hostel i ever have been to. The job it can do: sleep (strange matchbox like beds) have a shower (not very clean tiny shower cabins), put your luggage in the room and leave for the daytime. There was a very good looking cqnteen but it was closed all day, so i could only guess, when it's open it is cheap and good food (?)

Although the location is great, I would't stay there again or neither recommend it because - the bells of St. Pauls are very loud - most of the showers don't work (it took us ages to get ready in the morning) - showers and toilets were dirty - lacked the nice and easy going hostel atmosphere (no fun people) - they put us into a room next to a construction side where they started at 8am on a Saturday and that although others were available I would look for another hostel

This was a nice enough hostel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Internet was expensive, however, as was the breakfast. Great location, nevertheless, although the sound of the St. Paul's bells tolling all night might drive some people crazy!

I chose to stay at this hostel after reading very good reviews on Hostelworld. My stay was okay but I wouldn't recommend St Pauls to friends. The staff were very friendly though and the place was clean enough, but the building is in desperate need of a makeover. I stayed in a single room so I can't say anything about the dorms, but the mattress I slept on was at least 100 years old (or almost ;-) and the bathrooms were quite grotty. In my experience, YHA standards are usually a bit higher.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hostel has everything one needs (soap, locks, etc.) at the front desk, and good large lockers in the rooms that can fit even a large duffel bag. My only complaint is having to pay for wifi access.

I had a single room for my nights in this hostel and was really impressed with the value for money. For £20 I had a cosy private room with a TV, a washbasin area, drawers, a locker and a desk so lots of storage. The room was also a reasonable size so fantastic for the price in the location. It's a shame there isn't a kitchen for everyone to use. I didn't find this hostel as sociable and friendly as others in London but I wanted a quiet trip.

Previously breakfast was included and I would like to see this re-instated.

If you want good location, you should be at YHA St. Pauls. There you can even hear the rings of the St. Paul's bells. Rooms are clean, although the showers are a little bit old and dirty sometimes. The reception desk staff is very polite, but the restaurant staff is very impolite and rude. The gentleman that used to serve us was really rude to everybody. He even threatened me. He said, "Don't EVER ask for food 10 minutes before 8:30, when I'm CLOSED!". Good hostel, bad guy! Don't eat there!

situated next to Saint Pauls Cathedral, very nice Hostel, dedicated staff members and a very good value for money !

Really nice people, and loved the feeling that people (stuff) take care of their customers.

Perfect for a quick stop over, bed was comfy and everything clean. Toilets and showers were in need of updating but fantastic for price and location. Great if you are doing something on the South Bank or at Tate Modern and very close to the St Paul's tube station.

excellent hostel overall. good staff, clean rooms, enough bathrooms and toilets, excellent location. only defect is no fridge and cooker, so impossible to cook and store food.

Very well located, but overall a bit oldfashioned.

Once again I had a pleasant stay in this hostel. The beds are comfy and the duvets crisp and warm. Enjoyed being able to eat in the hostel and luckily was given a room with some like-minded women (visiting London for art and history) who I had some interesting conversations with and will remain in contact with. So I appreciated not being given a room of young partygoers!

Internet is very expensive.

I enjoyed my stay here. The bathrooms and rooms were decent and the cleanest i've seen so far. There is a heater in the room as well as a sink and mirror. The shower has no ventilation though, so that was uncomfortable but at least the water was hot. The eating area is pretty nice as well. Hostel is a little hard to find for the first time. You need to walk around from the back of St. Paul's Cathedral to the front and then cross the street next to YO Sushi and Strada restaurant.
