Five star location for budget travelers to London, & the only night noise are Cathedral chimes!

6.0

The location was incredible, and in a reasonably safe area of the city. The canteen was a good size, but I wish I had found some coffee making area. I did not purchase meals, as I found it a bit expensive ie I only like a small light breakfast and did not want to pay out for a large cooked breakfast. I liked my room location, and happy that I did not have lots of stairs to get to it. Also very much appreciated that my request for lower bunk was honored since I have arthritis and top bunk would have been impossible.

− After staying in many hostels (both YHA and private) I really didn't find much that I disliked about the St Pauls hostel. I had wanted to stay there for several years because of the proximity to the Cathedral and area. I didn't see that there were any activities or tours or bbq dinners, and that would make it even better I believe. I'd also love to hear from the YHA about hostels for older adults/retirees etc - if there are any most suitable, and if there is a reduction for seniors? Elder Hostels are a way of the future I believe.

Great Location & Value

6.0

Price, Location, Female Dorm option, clean bedding, spacious room. Male on Reception was friendly and informative.

− Female Receptionist was very unfriendly and unwelcoming which wasn't a good start, could benefit from customer service training as was the opposite of warm and friendly.....buzzed the door, she let me in and listened to me lug my very heavy suitcase thudding up the stairs to Reception for her to then tell me the luggage store is back down the stairs and down another long flight of stairs. No help offered from the other 5 Male workers behind Reception.

bon rapport qualité/prix

8.0

l'auberge est très propre, conforme à nos attentes. Elle est idéalement situé, nous avons pu faire ma majorité de nos visites à pied. Le petit deg simple mais efficace. Le rapport qualité prix est imbattable. Nous avons pu laisser nos bagages en arrivant dans un lieux sécurisé en attendant le check in et nous les avons laissé aussi le jour de notre départ pour éviter de porter les bagages toute la journée. c'est assez calme. Très securité car il faut sonner ou la carte de la chambre pour rentrer dans le bâtiment puis dans chaque espace.

− On voit que l'auberge est assez ancienne quelques travaux de rénovation seraient à prévoir notamment les escaliers. Le wifi ne fonctionne pas très bien dans les chambre.

Se encuentra muy bien ubicado, y en una zona muy bella. La habitación (masculina compartida) era muy comoda, con espacio suficiente para guardar los espacios personales

Teleurstellend.

4.0

De locatie, 24 uurs receptie en gratis oordopjes bij de receptie.

− De kamers/bedden/kluisjes zagen er niet uit zoals op de foto tijdens het boeken. Het waren gewone stalen stapelbedden zonder eigen gordijntje. Het bed onder mij stonk naar overgeefsel en de douches + wc’s waren niet schoon (en werden gedurende ons verblijf ook niet schoongemaakt had ik het idee). Ook liep het water in de douche niet goed weg, waardoor er continu water in het hele douchehokje bleef staan. De deur had een dranger, maar ging niet zachtjes dicht, waardoor je iedere keer wakker schrok. Ook was er heel veel lawaai aangezien wij onder de trap zaten, dus iedereen die de trap op liep hoorden wij als een soort olifantengestamp boven ons hoofd. En de kluisjes sloten ook niet goed. Je moest er heel hard tegenaan duwen/schoppen om het dicht te krijgen en als je geen eigen slotje bij je had, had je pech.
