YHA LONDON ST PAULS

Clean, round the clock reception, decent beds, nice location, wifi didn't reach the room very well, pay for towels, windows are not very sound proof and allow in lots of street noise

Loved it and we will come back again.

If you're a traveler seeking an affordable and sociable place to stay in London, NX London Hostel is a solid choice. While it may lack some frills, the overall experience is positive, especially for those prioritizing a vibrant communal atmosphere over luxury amenities,free breakfast.

Really happy with my 7D6N stay here, eventhough the hostel is not as modern as other hostels I’ve stayed in.

The staffs were excellent. Always happy to help you and answer all the questions you have.

They only have one shower room each at two of the floors I went to, which initially made me worried. But I never had to queue to shower, and it’s always kept in clean condition.

The bells of St Paul’s does ring often, but wasn’t loud enough to disrupt your rest. I never needed earbuds.

They have two options for breakfast: English breakfast and the continental menus ie. cereals, croissants, etc. The English breakfast was always delicious and helps to keep you full while exploring London.

Location was good, only a few minutes walk to the bus stop and underground. To St Pancras was just 10 minutes which was important to me as I depart/arrive in London there. It was near to some of the places I want to go to ie. Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe and St Paul’s of course, and to other places around 30 minutes by public transport which makes sense to me because London is huge.

Downsides as I mentioned, not as modern as other hostels ie. Wombat’s, but YHA makes up for it in all the other aspects. I’ve stayed at Wombat’s hostels in Vienna and Budapest, so from what I read through the reviews, they have the same issues ie. stuffy rooms, need to make your own bed, too simple choice of breakfast and it was also the highly expensive compared to other hostels. For the price Wombat’s is charging, I would expect a level of service similar (or better) than YHA.

I would definitely stay at this hostel or their other locations next time I’m in London.

Overall, a good hostel in an excellent location. I was there for 4 nights. Hostel is clean, excellent location. Great food option near by.
