The Spotlight on YHA London St Paul's

Central London Stay Just Minutes from the Music

Modern hostel vibes meet unbeatable location at YHA London St Paul's. Set in the heart of the city, this budget-friendly spot is only a 5-minute walk from St. Paul's tube station and just steps from iconic landmarks like St. Paul's Cathedral. With simple dorm-style rooms, shared facilities, and a relaxed community feel, it’s perfect for those who want to be close to the action without the high price tag.

Why Concert-goers love it

YHA London St Paul's is all about convenience. You're within walking distance or a short tube ride from venues across the West End, Southbank, and beyond. The nearby Central Line gets you to London's top music arenas in minutes. Despite being in the city centre, the hostel stays relatively quiet at night thanks to its tucked-away location. While check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is at 10:00, the 24-hour reception means you can roll in after a gig without worry.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget base near the music scene
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
  • Couples exploring London with a gig on the side
  • Fans needing quiet for post-show recovery
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who'd rather spend on tickets than accommodation

Food and Drink Options

  • On-site licensed restaurant serving evening meals
  • Vending machines for late-night snacks
  • Plenty of walkable eateries and pubs nearby
  • No breakfast included, but options abound in the area

Nightlife Options

  • Close to bars and pubs around St. Paul’s and Southbank
  • Easy access to live music venues in Soho and Camden via tube
  • Chill communal areas to wind down after a show

What People Say

Guests love the central location, especially the quick walk to key tube stations and attractions. Reviews highlight the hostel's cleanliness, friendly staff, and good value for money. Many mention it’s a safe and social place to stay, especially for solo travelers.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are basic and most have bunk beds and shared bathrooms, so don’t expect luxury. There’s no air conditioning, which can be a bit warm in summer. Breakfast isn’t included, though affordable options are close by.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a clean, central, and affordable base for your London concert adventure, YHA London St Paul's hits the right note.

Great value for a couple...

Liked: Amazing price for the location. Spacious room. Despite being downstairs, there was still plenty of natural light. The decor brought back memories of backpacking in the early 90s.
Disliked: I can only refer to the dorm. There are no facilities. You can't even use a kettle or microwave. This means you spend more money eating out 3x/day and buying tea/coffee. It's a choice to weigh up when making your plans, especially in colder weather. The room is partially under the main staircase, so when the place is overrun with school groups, there's a lot of stomping. Wifi kept cutting out downstairs. Upstairs you had the company of school kids. But that's the nature of a YHA and so the price matched the experience.

Liked: Fabulous location, on fourth floor so lots of stairs, exceptionally clean. Able to rent a towel as I had forgotten mine. Near to evening event, good transport links, staff really friendly and welcoming.
Disliked: Number of stairs but they did me good!
