The YHA central London has a great location advantage. The staff very helpful and warm. The lady who took us on Sunday June 9 for a free walking tour was friendly and knowledgeable. The locker facility was useful. I hope there are private rooms made available at an affordable rate say 40 pounds per night.

Yha London Central is a hostel that I'll look for a future stay for sure, it's a place when you feel really comfortable and secure. The only little problem about this hostel is that lots of services of them are paid and its really expensive like Internet.

Walking distance from Oxford Circus and Great Portland Street underground stations. We had 4 bed private room. It had sturdy bunk beds with clean sheets, bed lamps and charging points (charging points were not working on lower beds). Staff was very friendly, gave us good advice about nearby attractions. The hostel also has free London maps for tourists. Food was also good and not very pricey (we specially liked Nachos and hot chocolate). Will stay again if I get chance.

I suggest putting mops in the shower rooms, so the floors can be left dry
