I really enjoyed my time at the hostel :) I had to leave early because of a family emergency, and they were very understanding of my situation. The work is easy, and the organization of the schedule and days off is really nice. The meals are delicious, and sometimes you can have leftovers to cover the third meal. The location is perfect for exploring London, close to different tube stations and bus stops. I hope I can come back another time. It was very sad leaving this place and the wonderful people I met during my stay.

I truly loved being part of Sandeman. As my first volunteer experience through Worldpackers, it was very meaningful. The work was smooth, my kitchen partner became a great friend, and the girls in the cafeteria were amazing as well. The head chef was on medical leave, so I didn't have much time with him, but everything went well. Some of the substitute chefs were a bit challenging to work with, but nothing impossible. Beyond that, the hostel team was incredible they became my family, people I will carry in my heart forever. I am deeply grateful for this experience.

I had an incredible five weeks at the hostel! A very good choice for my first volunteer experience. The tasks I had were easy and fair, and my working hours were always respected. I worked in the mornings, which left me free to explore different places in London in the afternoons. My days off were also always honored. During my time there, I had the chance to meet amazing people, not only the other volunteers, but also the residents. It was incredible to see people from all over the world connecting in one place.

The staff were absolutely lovely (shout out to jacob!) & the volunteers as well, though mostly stay by themselves the housekeeping work feels social & you finish quickly with great teamwork the food is also delicious :) however, i didn't like the dependency i needed to have, for exp the laundry is off sometimes & you need to contact the reception (which could be empty & take a while) or how the lift doesn't work well, we laughed about it but it gets frustrating, esp when working also not much privacy or a place where you can have your own space when needed but overall a good place :)
