Disliked: Amenities
There were three of us and we stayed in a private room with a private bathroom. There were two bunk beds, no TV, you have to rent the towel and no toiletries. There's hardly any space for our luggage. We have to go to the laundry area in the basement to use our hair dryer-- I was told the power plug in our room bathroom can't handle it. This is a hostel so the lack of space and amenities is understandable. It's pretty close to train stations and a Tesco, some restaurants around the area, but we never tried any. The one elevator broke two days before our check-out. Luckily, we were only on the 2nd floor so, not it wasn't a big deal bringing down our luggage using the stairs. This is our first time in a hostel and although the experience isn't bad at all, I will most likely not book another one.

My bunk bed was against a window which was alongside the road and therefore quite noisy the first night

This is the very first hostel that I've patronized and I must say that YHA Lodon has set the trend and the bar. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Very convenient as a stop over before catching Eurostar. However, room was very warm, even though temperature outside was not particularly high. A fan was provided, but was noisy. Did not make for a good night's sleep. Bracket for shower hose was broken, making showering tricky.

It is really good for its price among London's other accomodation options. The staff was really nice in helping out with my check in, luggage storage as well as finding my lost items. It is good for a short stay, just remember your own pad locks.

It started with lovely staff member.

Reception staff were nice. Room was clean but dark. On suite bathroom clean. I was reserved a bottom bunk because of disability. I would use again.
