    Nice staff........helpful, friendly......... Excellent location++!! The bunk beds have an awkward set up, being 3 rather than just the 2 beds. Therefore, it was a bit strange to have someone needing to be on your bed to get up............but even that was O.K. Just great !!! Thanks. connie

    Although we had help bring up our luggage I think a dumb waiter would be good to bring up the luggage. It would help the more elderly people and the staff wouldn't have to do it. Also when minors are staying the staff should patrol the halls to keep the noise at a minimum after 11pm. The kids next to our room were having a good time till 3 in the morning the night before we left. All in all a great week staying with you.

    Hostel response:
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, it is very valuable to us. Hiring an extra member of staff just to carry the luggage would increase the price of the beds, which would defeat our purpose of offering cheap accommodation. Also, in reception we are happy to help whoever needs a hand with their luggage! Our night staff do patrol the hostel at night, but it's always useful to report any problems at the time they happen so we can spot the source and fix the problem there and then. Thank you again for your comments. YHA St. Paul's Duty Manager

    The rooms were very smelly and there were no charging outlets in the room. Very inconvenient.

    Hostel response:
    We appreciate your feedback, it is very valuable to us. Unfortunately we haven't got many power outlets in the rooms, but we now have a charging station in reception where all guests can leave their devices safely charging. Best regards, YHA London St. Paul's Duty Manager

    The staff was extremely helpful--even when they were at a busy time. Marius was especially good.

    maybe free wifi would help, it's free everywhere, gaming room with billiard, darts, or other games would help to people know better each other.

    Hostel response:
    Thank you for your feedback, it is very valuable to us. We try to keep our prices at a minimum by leaving all the extras such as the meals and internet access as an option to purchase if needed. The network is looking into implementing a different wifi option in the future but at the moment it's not possible. A gaming area as you suggest would be great, but unfortunately we haven't got the space for that. We are trying to get better every day, so we appreciate feedback like yours. Thank you, Soledad YHA St. Paul's Duty Manager

    My first trip to London was very enjoyable. St. Pauls is central located in London, and walking distance to many attractions. My next visit include staying at St. Pauls again. Bill from Spokane, WA, USA.
