    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 most uncomfortable beds i've ever slept on, i think if the floor was heated it would have been preferable! Other than that it was pretty good, very friendly staff but guests very transient..

    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.

    I stayed in this hostel during Thanksgiving last year. The location is perfect once you find it (cause it took my some time to find it...) Very close to Oxford Street and the staff were extremely friendly. Only downside is no free Wifi available in hostel and need to pay like 9 pounds for 7 days...

    The hostel was in an excellent location. However, this hostel was very noisy if you are wanting a good nights sleep. The staff at times were unhelpful. The room was very clean. However, the bathroom smell was disgusting. Not something I expected for what I paid.

    The terrible night in YHA London Central. Our room (Room 222) is flooding after we took shower and the next day, our room have a horrible smell came out from the bath room! I will never visit this hostel again. However, the location of the hotel is easy access to the Oxford Circus.

    The sinks in bathrooms should be changed - they are so small that it's impossible to brush teeth in this hostel, without flooding the whole bathroom!
