This was my first volunteering experience and it was better than I expected. I was welcomed by everyone. The volunteers' rooms are for three people, spacious and comfortable. The tasks are pretty much the same as you would do at home. It's nothing out of this world. They respect your working hours and someone will help you during the first few days to explain how to do it. The £20 is enough if you cook your own food and have a healthier diet. Mariela and Csaba were always helpful, which made my experience even better. I would love to come back in the future.

I had a great time at the hostel. The amount of weekly hours is very fair and the room is great. You get 20 pounds weekly to buy your food which does help a lot, besides the free laundry. The staff and volunteers were also very nice. I totally recommend this experience.

Volunteering at the hostel was a great experience. People were so welcoming and warm. Mariela, Czaba, other volunteers were really understanding and helpful. The location is definetely amazing. It wasn't a very social hostel, as mostly people were staying long-term. So, if you're looking for a more social atmosphere, keep that in mind. Though of course, you can always go out and socialize on your own terms. The work was manageable, 4 hours a day. Some days were lighter, others a bit more demanding, but overall, there was plenty of free time to enjoy London. Thank you everyone :) !!

It has good and bad things, the good stuff is that the room they offer is pretty good, you have your own space and it's only shared with 2 other people, also the schedule is respected and it's not different from what they tell you before coming to the hostel. The managers are super nice and they try to change your days off if you ask for it or even if you have to be off for some days, they will try to arrange it. On the other hand, it's not a hostel so if you come here to socialize with people and get new experiences, it's not the best place. The people here are more “long-terms”.

**Good points:** - Location (Zone 1) - Lovely, helping and well organized team (manager, staff, and volunteers) - Shared rooms (max. 3 people) - 20£ per week for food (enough for me) **Bad points:** - Not the best place to meet locals or practice English (you have to force to do it) - It's a residence, not a hostel (completely different experience) - Work is demanding and physically tough (since you have to carry all the stuff and the load of things to clean) - Elevator is out of service about 2/3 of the time, making tasks harder Was a good experience but quite tiring!

It was an experience I hadn't counted on. Although I wasn't able to practice English as much as I'd have liked, I learned the tasks and cleaning protocols used in the hospitality industry. The team is very helpful and has a GREAT human quality: EVERYONE makes sure that you feel good and enjoy volunteering. They're 4 hours full work, they respect the schedules, and the hostel has good facilities except for the lift that was out of order during most of my stay. They gave the option of breakfast, dinner, and 20£. Also, they pampered us with delicious pastries at midnight. Would I repeat? SURE!!

The hostel was my first volunteer, my first time in another country and speaking English. From the moment I arrived I was very well received. The place is comfortable, the people are kind. The work is as I expected it to be and the hours have always been respected. I thank Mariela for always being kind and for her patience with my English and Csaba which made my experience incredible! I really hope I can come back one day!!!!!!

My days at the hostel were incredible. I met wonderful people, improved my English, explored London and its beauties, and will always cherish this experience as a dream come true. Mariela, Czaba, and the entire team were extremely patient and kind with my challenges in English, and I felt safe and welcomed by everyone. It was my first volunteering experience, and it exceeded my expectations. The weekly £20 shopping allowance made a big difference, and I made the most of it. I hope to return someday. To everyone I had the privilege of meeting: Thank you so much for everything.
