    Fantastic value and wonderfully clean room

    Nothing considering the price, parts of the building look a little tired, but considering the prices are a fraction of Budget chain hotels I cannot complain, nor expect 5* hotel levels of oppulence, Well, maybe one thing, the Bells of St Pauls do not have any sort of mute functionality and are loud, even with all windows shut, if you are a light sleeper then bring some earplugs.

    Great location about 200m from St Pauls, easy / friendly check-in with staff available 24 hrs. Important to note I stayed in a suite so had the place to myself, it was very nice, spacious, well equiped, immaculately clean and looked as if refurbished not so long ago (or kept to high standard) Bed was very comfy, and kitchen looked good - not that I used it, but it looked good.

    The private apartment is three floors up with no lift. The staff helped with my luggage but it was a fitness test of a climb! See picture. There is no hanging space and no comfortable seating or tv. They could make more of the apartment by putting in a sofa bed and small wardrobe or hanging unit. For the price, it should include towels

    Convenient location Clean and comfortable

    That we left too early to enjoy breakfast!

    Our family group of six stayed in the large dorm room with four bunk beds. We were in London less than 24 hours with an early train to catch, and we were pleasantly surprised by the hostel’s cleanliness and location. Bathrooms were clean and the property was well maintained. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    Wifi service need to get upgraded. Couldn’t connect to it for more than one minute. I’m unsure but it seems like they get constant school visits, and I can only imagine every kid having a device that needs to use the wifi service.

    Good location. Family friendly. Sink inside the room.

    It was noisy from all the young people partying and coming to the last floor and trying our door thinking it's a way for them to get to the roof (the door didn't have a number on so I assume this is why they were tempted). The room was very basic and the bed needed a second mattress

    Great location and a very big room

    It's a little far to travel from the front door to our room. The massive kitchen is not available for guests to cook for themselves which is a big shame. It's right next to the St Paul's church so we hear the bell every hour all night.

    We booked a 5ppl family room, they don't have any vacancy on the day so they gave us an 8 ppl room. There's a little courtyard right outside as well. The bathroom and toilet are not too far away, WIFI is strong. The bedsheet seems fresh, the kitchen is massive! properly the biggest kitchen compared to other hostels I stayed before. Super location, 2 mins walk to the St Paul's church, Along with restaurants, bars, and shops. The breakfast looks great but we didn't purchase it.

    the only minus is probably that there is no soundproofing at all. at night they could not fall asleep for a long time and often woke up because of the noise from the street

    very good location and very reasonable price

    because of my late booking, I was on the top floor and I have a bad knee. but in saying that I was ok.

    The room was great. most of the roommates were respectful. The staff were exceptional and very friendly. I arrived in the evening and was greeted and looked after. The showers and toilets were clean and in very good condition. The location is second to none in London. Being in Black Friars is a great place to base a London adventure. The towels were clean and breakfast was great. I didn't get chance to eat at night but from what I saw it looked great
