YHA St Pauls London looks out onto a truly iconic London scene. Opposite St. Paul's Cathedral, the hostel provides a truly international environment for people to meet and is close to many of London’s most famous attractions.
Once the school for St Paul’s Cathedral choir boys, the hostel retains many original features such as an oak panelled chapel, now a meeting room, and the headmaster's study now a lounge with views of St Paul's Cathedral. It’s minutes from the West End by tube or bus, yet provides a quiet retreat after a hectic day exploring. Discover the city’s past at the nearby Museum of London or venture across the Millennium Bridge to Tate Modern and other South Bank attractions.
Evening meals are available in our licensed restaurant. Facilities include internet access, TV, games room, common room, laundry, WiFi and lockers. There are a total of 210 beds and family rooms are also available. The hostel has no self-catering facilities but excellent meals are available in the restaurant.

Customer Reviews London - St Pauls YHA

| The toilets and showers need to be kept more clean. They always smelled very bad and we used them as little as possible. I tried the shower once, but felt more dirty when I came out than before I came in. Also there was no hot water.
The window of our room couldn't be closed or locked (the lock was broken), which is not very secure. | ||

| I can only say that a few rooms people were smoking as It lingered in corridor, I smoke myself but refrained even though my room had a outside window, otherwise excellent! | ||

| The dorm room had an unidentified, bad smell. I was sad to find out that breakfast wasn't included in the price - especially that London is quite expensive. The member of staff who gave us our keys was very polite but not particularly friendly, which made me feel like I was bothering him when I asked a few basic questions such as check out time and such. The bathrooms and sheets were clean, that was nice. I didn't know where to leave my sheets the next day though. Also, I would have used the very practical drawer alongside my bed if it was on the wall side and not the outer side, where anyone could access it in my sleep. The location was fine, just close enough to tourist attractions to be able to walk there on a sunny day. | ||
