Think the pluses are fairly evident- if you want to stay in central london at a decent price or if you are from India and would like to have fellow country people around then this is the place. However the food especially over the last two months leaves much to be desired- we remember seeing moss-ridden bread during breakfast and... more

The name YMCA Indian Student Hostel at first conjures up images of dorms and stark, bleak rooms and uninspiring, bland food. My 12 year-old Son stepped into the Indian YMCA, London with trepidation. However, reality was totally different. What we get in Indian YMCA, London is a warm, friendly, family atmosphere. Though the name says Student hostel, it is not... more

We stayed here for 3 nights last October. The hostel is in a good location, close to the tube. Price includes breakfast and dinner/supper, which is a real money-saver. The food wasn't bad. Our room was clean: one bed and a desk with very limited space around, which is nothing unusual in London. It did get a little too loud... more

This accomodation is a superb value for money!!! Great location, great food, clean rooms are the highlights of this place. It is very near to warren street and holborn stations. They provide excellent food and dinner and breakfast price is included in the cost when you book it. They have internet access terminals, a library and playing rooms. Overall highly... more

When we arrived our room wasn't ready so we left our luggage in their luggage room. This room is locked, but staff do not supervise when someone wants to retrieve something and it's sort of in an out of the way location, so I'm not sure how secure it really is. Our luggage was fine however. Checked in - I... more

If you plan to stay at this hostel, do NOT bring ANY valuables. My mother and I planned to stay here for a few days summer 2007. We checked in at the desk.....we had 2 suitcases, our purses and a laptop bag. We put our bags down in our room, locked the door behind us, and went to buy theatre... more

We stayed in this great hostel in London in June 2007. The Indian YMCA is close to all the tourist spots and we paid just 70 pounds per day for two people for breakfast,dinner and clean comfortable en suite accommodation.The meals were fairly standard but it was great not having to worry about cooking when you got home from sightseeing... more

My wife and I stayed in the YMCA Indian Student Hostel for 3 nights in December. We didn't liked this hostel. The building is old, rooms are dirty and the breakfast and dinner (included in the price) is terrible. Only the location is great, near two Tube-stations (Great Portland Street and Warren Street). But we never go there again. more

I was only in town for 3 nights on a stopover from italy, and i've been to London in the past, but this was my first time staying at the YMCA Indian Student Hostel. It was central enough to the activities i was interested in partaking in while i was there, very convenient to Warren Street Tube, and having both... more
