Youth Hostel Association

This is a fantastic place for all ages to stay. I live in London, but had friends down for a night of clubbing in London. They managed to get a 6 bed dorm for only around £30 each, and as someone had dropped out I stayed with them rather than braving the nightbus home. Amazingly clean, there was a pleasant atmosphere about the place. When we checked in there were young backpackers lounging around, a young family here for sightseeing and a few adventurous looking pensioners whatever age you are you will not feel out of place here even though it is a youth hostel. The reception staff were friendly and accepting that we were likely to come back hammered (I image being a youth hostel they are pretty used to it) but when we did so, there was a quiet serene atmosphere and no youngsters shrieking or getting messy etc.
There is a 24 hour bar, perfect when you get in from a nights clubbing but arent quite ready for bed, and they serve food too.
The dorm was clean with all the amenities. The only gripe was the shower room was a wet room, and the floor was pitched so that after 6 showers the water started leaking under the door into the room! But that was a minor gripe when you consider the cleanliness, the value for money, and the amazing location just a short walk from Oxforxd Street and next door to Radio 1 (for those celeb spotters)
