Great location and very clean facilities, but the atmosphere was a bit on the cold side... not a particularly "social" hostel. Also, I would advise going elsewhere for breakfast. While its only 5 pounds there are much better options in the area for the same amount.

The price was too expensive for what was available. Internet prices were steep, as well as towel rentals and breakfast in comparison to other hostels in London. The "courtyard" was gloomy and uninviting.

I think the hostel could do with an update. It is looking quite tired and grubby, especially the carpets. The coat hooks in our room fell off the wall, and the bin was dirty and difficult to use. The staff in the canteen could also be a bit friendlier!

We ordered/paid for a 6 bed, but we got an 8 bed in the furthest corner of the hostel (up 3 flights of stairs). Luckily for us, our fellow roommates were nice and quiet. Some of the receptionists were confused.

The hostel was comfortable to stay in but definitely had its negatives. There was not a lot of atmosphere as a lot of the other people were school groups or middle aged. The internet was expendive and I had to walk to another floor each morning as there were not very many. Excellent location though and close to a tube station

Very good hostel and I would stay here again. It's great if you want a hostel which isn't grotty and at the low end of low end! My main criticism would be that, given to all extents and purposes, you are just paying for the bed (no wifi or breakfast included) it is quite expensive. And the beds are very creaky. But I would stay here again.

I stayed in Room 2 on Sunday night, 21st April - it was far too hot and difficult to sleep in, please turn off the heating!

The 24h reception was really useful as we had to check-in in the middle of the night due to delays in our flights. It was a bit annoying to have bunk beds with 3 "layers" - I felt a bit cramped. Unfortunately there was only one plug socket for a whole room of five people which is not enough. Other than that we really liked the hostel and thought it was good value for money.

The members of staff were very helpful. I have stayed at the hostel numerous times and its location is ideal for my requirements.

Two showers weren't working, soI have given a lower mark for 'facilities'. The staff were v. helpful It was quite a warren - more 'signposts' e.g. to luggage room, would have been a good idea. There were not enough accessible lockers. Because the luggage room was full of luggage,to get to locker I would have had to climb over a huge pile of other people's stuff. It was a shame that they have nowhere sI could stow my folding bike. Room was too hot. What would happen in a fire? It wasn't clear.

The Hostel is really old. The facilities are not the best. But it was clean and for a weekend away on the good location it is a good place. The staff was very friendly.

Thumbs up for YHA St. Paul's, in spite of a few minuses - bathroom and shower facilities are inadequate, electrical outlets in rooms are definitely inadequate, and the argument that it's an old building is not acceptable. Dining room and other areas do have additional external wall outlets installed, so why not the rooms? The most serious criticism: Gross overcharging of the Wi-Fi use by the hostel, or rather by the 3rd party used by the hostel, Global... The hostel should use their own Wi-Fi.
