This hostel is in a great location. Fact. It isn't particularly cheap, however. For myself and two young daughters in a private room, breakfast and a YHA supplement it came to around ninety pounds. For that I would have liked the rooms to be much better maintained and cleaner. Washed curtains, fixed windows, a carpet that fits etc. The breakfast... More

I have stayed at the YHA St Pauls several times over the last 6 months. The facilities and dormitories are okay. Nothing to write home about, but okay. However, there is a fair amount of noise from the street and from the bells from St Pauls (every 15 mins throughout the night). I have been unlucky every time I've stayed... More

I've stayed in this Youth Hostel quite a few times now. It's right next to Saint Paul's cathedral (I love the sound of the bells chiming the time at night). But that in itself isn't why I go back. My main reason is that, as London Youth Hostels go, it's not a "party hostel." There are plenty of young people... More

It is amazing that you can stay so close to such an historic landmark as St Pauls. The hostel is old and there are not a lot of bathrooms (typical english haha) and you have to pay for breakfast (not unusual in England) but it is worth it as the hostel is so central. A short walk to the Millenium... More

Although I enjoyed my stay, it had its ups and it's downs. The beds were comfortable although to get to the top bunk you had to climb over the lower ones. There was only one plug socket in our room, leaving 6 people in a room to charge their phones in shifts. The breakfast was good though-a buffet with cereals,... More

I've stayed in better, I've stayed in worse. The St Paul's YHA is an average basic hostel. I found the bathrooms and rooms to be clean but they definitely are not the most up to date in terms of furniture and carpets. The location in London is amazing, the building itself is gorgeous, and there lots of attractions and restaurants... More

The house is somewhat derelict, but the beds and sheets are clean. We had a room with en-suite bathroom, everything fonctioned but looks somewhat old. Internet can be bought with a card, but only functions in the community rooms. Friendly staff. The place is located in the midst of the London financial district: plenty of good eating places around, St.... More

good location but thats all. I have stayed at hostels all around the world and this one is the only one so far who is trying to rip every penny in your pocket and where you even have to pay for internet! the most annoying thing is that they truly lack the hostel mentality. everything is charged extra; -- you...

This is my third time staying at the hostel in the last 5 years. Now looking worn and needs a refurb. Hooks no longer in the bathrooms. Description of rooms is interested. I thought I had booked a Twin, it was a set of bunk beds not good. Only noticed the bells at St Pauls in the morning, most annoying... More

I'm not sure whether or not it was due to the fact that it was my first experience in a Youth hostel, but I didn't enjoy the place that much. It's indeed ideally located, in a very calm neighbourhood, close to St Paul's Cathedral, and to lots of major attractions of London, but still not so easy to find. This... More
