This was our first stay in Baden Powell House. IWe read the other reviews after booking and subsequently felt a bit anxious about what we might find. However, there was no need to worry.

We stayed here with my two children at a very busy time of the year. Yes, the "ensuite" was tiny but we had a quiet and spacious family room with clean bedding. The hostel was basic but clean and all that we wanted as a base for our trip to London. My kids loved the buffet breakfast - especially the... more
