This hostel is located very conveniently. I had booked a shared female room. Shared with another female who is boarding there long-term. Simple room, enough for what you need it for. Don't get much info from reception regarding touristy things as this place is moreso for long-term boarders, from what I heard they open beds to the public over the summer period. In saying that staff were always helpful when I interacted with them. Allowed to leave luggage with them pre checkin and post checkout. They offer breakfast, you can join them for their dinner at a reasonable rate. Shower facility very simple, does the job Enjoyed my stay.

My stay at LHA London was truly fantastic and made my business trip all the more enjoyable. The staff, including the management team, were exceptionally welcoming, professional, and always ready to help. The hotel's location is ideal, with easy access to public transportation and nearby amenities. The quality of service exceeded my expectations, and I felt well taken care of throughout my stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting London—whether for business or leisure

You can check in-out anytime. The staff and also the people who stayed there were kind. The location is perfect, 2 min from Hyde park, Notting hill is also 15 min away with bus&walk. big spacious closet. The showers were a bit too small, but overall clean.
My only problem really was that my bunkbed was missing a step to the top bed, so it was a bit harder to climb up.

Breakfast was basic but coffee good.Good central location.It also has a gym.Which guests can use.
Hearing that done strange woman staying there intimidates guests by insisting the lights are left on all night and has done it to several people several times despite warnings.She should be booted out pronto.

I was pleasantly surprised by the hostel as a whole. Excellent location, very good breakfast, spacious room, unbeatable value for money. And pretty high average age of those who lived there. I wish I could stay there in the following two weekends too!
I wish there were a single or twin room available to reduce the chance of a snoring roommate. Staff experience was mixed, there were friendly and not so friendly faces. Street was a bit noisy but it's not the hostel's fault in central London, so ignore this ;-)

Great location, wonderful project for accessible accommodation
I understand keeping the toilets clean is challenging, the rest is great. Breakfast has a few options but sufficient

the property is nice and hot inside. I enjoyed the heat because few nights have been cold. my check in was also prompt and professional, everything was ready, and Laurent was very informative and explained everything to me. also they have a gym, this is very handy and shows that they care about peoples wellbeing and health. the breakfast is very good too, kitchen and dining area is very very clean, all staff are very happy and always smiling. as a professional chef, I really appreciated the happy smiling faces from all the kitchen staff, this make the food taste better too, when it’s served with vibrant energy from the staff. the breakfast shift was served promptly and they never ran out of food. food was all hot, and looked good. all tables were super clean. All this adds to a great dining experience. this has to be one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in, in London uk 🇬🇧.
not really anything to dislike, my stay here has been very good.
