YHA London Thameside Reviews

I was there for 5 nights. Because there was a big group of school-kids coming and they needed the room, I had to move to another room with my luggage. Because I had a seminar that time, I left early and came back late. I couldnt take my luggage with me, so I had to pay a locker for my luggage, despite I was expecting to leave it in my room all time.

Excellent breakfast although bit pricey at £5

So lovely hostel. Only a little bit far to overground.Staff very very nice and helpful.

good location,kind staff,but facilities in room are not enougn,only 2 plugs for 6 people,no plcace can sit down in the room.

There was an unfortuate misunderstanding between our group & a member of staff (simple human error), which resulted in us being made to feel uncomfortable and we said so at the time. The member of staff apologised & reversed the situation - dealt with it very well. These things must happen regularly when dealing with so many members of the public, but it is how you deal with the aftermath which is so important.

great value for money

I liked the hostel. Nothing was really exceptional about it but I definitely don't have any complaints either. It's in a pretty quiet residential neighbourhood and the beds were comfortable so I got a really good sleep. It's a little far if you want to stay out late at night in the centre of town but if you want just a nice relaxing weekend in London it's perfect.

Everything was fine, but I don't really have anything positive to say, either. I wasn't there that long, for the record.

You have to pay for everthing, like internet and if you are not a member of (I don´t remember what) you have to pay an extra money to be a member to stay there.

it's a bit far from city. you should to transfer to bus from underground. Nevertheless at least YHA Thames side is much better than YHA Earls Court where was extremely terrbile having strange staffs and manager.

would be good if wi fi was included in price.nice location by river.

No hot water. Bad reception staff.

I had an enjoyable stay. The staff were very friendly and obliging, and were able to be flexible to cater for my needs.

i really enjoyed my stay, the location was very good, being right next to the thames was nice to walk along and have a look around, and close to an underground which was handy. the atmosphere was warming and secure which was a good feeling to a foreign traveller

There are no thermostats on the radiators - a waste of money and resources!!

Hello, My Name is Marina!. I have stayed in thia very pretty hostel from January 12th till January 18th 2012. And I slept in a 6 female bed dorm. I had a very pleasant stay. Tha people that I met in my room were very friendly and nice! And also so was the staff! Very friendly , helpful and available. The location is very fascinating, with Canada water Station only 10 min. by bus. And excellently connected to Central London. The facilities are ok. Quite clean, with all rooms ensuite. I'll go bac

It was cheap but location isn't the best. 5-10 min walk to underground or 3-5 to overground. The place itself was alright but didn't have any atmosphere, alot of people keeping to themselves and quite a few longtermers. Bed design was strange, hard to get to top bunk unless you're agile, good lockers though. Shower was also great. I do hate paying for wifi and especially when I still can only use it in public spaces which means no privacy for Skype. For the price however it's OK,

The staff there are excellent and hospitable, the location is a little far away to the central London but the traffic is convinent. We had fun there.

This hostel is much like a dormitory, which I find a bit boring. Other than that, there is nothing wrong with this hostel. It's clean and near the Underground.

You have to pay for the internet. The bathrooms were disgusting, the water in the showers could barely drain and there was mold. The carpets were so dirty and so full of dust that I kept sneezing and coughing the whole time I was there (allergies). The kitchen is very small with only 3 mini fridges for the whole hostel and every time you want to have a sharp knife you have to go to the reception to get one and put a deposit of 5 pounds. The location was alright, still wouldn't stay there again.
