“ Great place to stay. One of the best hostels I've ever been. Would return for sure. Close to Oxford Street. A walk distance from parks and Madame Thusseaud's Wax Museum. ”

“ great hostel. very clean and secure. some reviewers have said that it lacks character, but i disagree. it is not full of drunk teenage backpackers and has a friendly atmosphere. really probably the best value accommodation in london. ”

“ LOVED the Alternative Bar Crawl in Camden- great work Marco and Sam!! Clean facilities, nice staff, a little lacking in the excitement department (suggest to allow outside alcohol for more variety...) internet was costly, but was a very very nice stay indeed :) About 6 blocks from the nearest... ”

“ The hostel has the best location: just 10 minutes walk to Oxford Street. And there's a subway station wihtin 5 minutes. The staff is very friendly. During our staying (march 2010) there weren't that many people so maybe in the summer it's more fun in the hostel. The kitchen is big and clean so... more ”

“ The lobby hours are a bit of a bummer but the staff was extremely helpful and this hostel is a very short walk to the main center. Free interent is a plus and a pretty fun common lounge when open. ”

YHA's newest addition to the London network, YHA London Central, boasts seven floors of modern, stylish, budget accommodation just five minutes walk from Oxford Street. Perfect for young backpackers who want to be in the heart of this vibrant capital. Enjoy a relaxing glass of wine or a more lively head-to-head on our plasma screen Nintendo Wii.
