Liked: Amazing kitchen facilities and friendly atmosphere. Internet access could have come at the cheaper price but I remember to take my own laptop next time. I will definately be back!

Liked: I was disappointed with the fact that breakfast was not included but 3.95 pond each time, on top of that the internet is so expensive there. With your own laptop to use wifi, you have to pay 5 pond for one day or 3 pond for 1 hour with their computer. I know some hostels that i stayed in Paris offer both breakfast and wifi for free, included in the original room rate. Soon, I learned to use an internet cafes elsewhere that cost only 1 pond per hour, thus the hostel is knowingly taking advantage of new visitors' ignorance or lack of time to research the prices.One of female staff at the reception was incredibly and totally unnecessarily rude to me when I asked her about the location of the hostel on the map and about buses. I have been to 100s of hostels and hotels in my life though, I never met any hotel staff, who couldn't point their own hotel location on the map, besides that she seemed totally justified with her ignorance and lack of politeness. My jaw dropped with the lack of the staff education at the hostel. I don't know how she could work at any hotel reception with that kind of rude attitude and lack of basic courtesy. She blatantly refused to point the location of the hostel (on the map) she is working for, and quickly told me proudly that "i don't have a compass!" No one needs a compass to be able to point the location of the place s/he is working everyday.However, I have stayed in other YHA hostel in London, and I never met this kind of bad attitude staff, so I know that it's not all about YHA but some particular individual at an individual hostel. This YHA hostel seems to be so proud of being somewhat cool & modern that the employees may have been becoming arrogant, which I found very unpleasant. I don't think I will go back to this hostel. YHA Saint Paul was better, offers English breakfast for free and closer to Liverpool station.

Liked: Good: Very clean hostel with friendly and helpful people. Good to meet people. Very central.Bad: I booked 4 nights with Hostelbookers, but when I was there they told my, I have to change the rooms after 2 nights, because they didn´t had free rooms for the 4 days. That meens I had to check out in the morning after 2 nights and check in in the afternoon again. Then I got another room with 2 more beds in it and less clean :(

16 January 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Close to the center of London, just off Soho, YHA London Central was a great place to relax after a busy day of sightseeing and exploring. I, personally, really liked that it was fairly quiet compared to some of the other hostels I've stayed at in big cities, even though it was very much in the middle of everything.
