Stayed just the one night at LSE Carr-Saunders Hall. It was everything I expected it to be. Comfortable, though basic student accommodation. Reception staff very friendly and courteous. Delicious breakfast included in the price. Tip: Get your hot food first as it is served to you and they include cereal, yoghurt etc in your 6, but then there’s nothing to stop you going back for another! Great value for money considering the location and included breakfast. Goodge St tube is less than 5 minutes away.

Never done a Hostal before but… Carr Saunders Hall was Excellent! The location is near on perfect, top of charlotte street on fitzroy st, mins walk to oxford st, trafalgar sq, leicester sq absolutley brilliant. After arriving at around 9am(check in is at 3pm) we were allowed to place our bags in an office and head out for the day bagless. On returning to check in, we noticed you have to enter 2 secure doors to get in and we were checked in very quickly. Only niggle was we had 3 rooms on 3 different floors, not ideal. Ok this is not a hotel and you have to remember that. The rooms are small with 2 single beds in them. cupboard wardrobe and a sink. thats it. toilets and showers are located outside the room and are shared but they were very clean & well looked after. The whole place was. Breakfast is included in the ridiculously low price(£22 pppn) where you are allowed 6 items(eggs bacon sausage etc) and all the coffee, tea etc you want. For the price it is perfectly adequate, friendly and you really cant go wrong. Shame its only open during the summer months. Would I go again… already looking for a convienient date. GONOW!

Very convenient and affordable hostel in the heart of London. It’s a college dorm, thankfully a clean one. The first night we were there they were having issues with the hot water so I had to take a luke-warm shower, but it was fixed the next day. I would have given this hostel 3 stars, but the breakfast is worth an additional star. You get a breakfast card good for 6 items of your choice, everything from fresh fruit to baked beans to scrambled eggs, plus free toast, tea, and coffee. I was really surprised they offered such a complete breakfast, and they will even give you a paper bag to take items to go =D.
