I had a great month at the hostel. Laurent, Sam, and Shequita were such great hosts. I'm a student and they were able to accommodate my schedule. I'm also vegan and the chef always made me delicious food. I did housekeeping at first and then dinner shifts later on. The tasks were very straightforward. Also, the area is very wealthy with a lot of things to do. 💗💗

The hostel Sandeman is a great way to enjoy London. The location is great and the hours are really practical. I was on breakfast shift and worked from 7 to 10am. You meet a lot of international travelers which is great in a big city like London especially if you don't know anyone. You get two meals a day and the food is always good.

My stay at the hostel was very good. I made friends with all the volunteers, I practiced English/Spanish and a little Italian with the chefs... all the staff were very welcoming. The food is amazing and both chefs are so friendly... I'll miss Gigi and Eugenio. The only problem was some crazy and rude guests, but just talk to the managers and everything is easily resolved. I really recommend the experience

The place complies with what is described on the Wordpackers platform. Apart from a few rude residents who are an absolute minority forcing us into uncomfortable situations to command our respect, the rest of the people I met there were super nice, volunteers, staff and residents. Thank you all

The hostel's location near Hyde Park was great, and I enjoyed daily runs there. The team's room was decent. My tasks mainly involved serving and cleaning in the dining room, but the work organization was chaotic, with staffing levels fluctuating unpredictably. The training was minimal, with only brief instructions from another volunteer. Chef Gigi, initially fine, became rude and unclear in communication. In the kitchen, I was dismayed by the wasteful food disposal practices. Overall, as my first volunteer experience, it was okay, teaching me to handle disorganization and difficult people.

Thank you to everyone I met. The location of the accommodation is perfect. The accommodation is near Hyde Park, so you can take a walk anytime. The volunteers I worked with were friendly and had a good time. They serve breakfast and dinner and it's so delicious. Thank you.

My experience was great, even though more than a hostel, it is something for long term guests. However i had lot of fun with the volunteers, always happy and willing to hang out :) The staff is good, not so happy but respectuf. Unfortunately the nightworkers are very rude and often annoied. The location is great, well linked between the Subway station and the neightborhood is lovely and quite. The job was quite easy and the hours were never more than 18/20 per week. A big thanks to all the volunteers i met during my stay <3

I worked serving food in the hostel, it was an ok job with the schedules a bit confusing but I could take it. My relationship with the cook was not so good, he started to treat me with lack of respect for no reason. I tried to talk to him, questioning if there was something wrong and he didn't say anything. I don't know if he had some problem related to my nationality. I made friends there but I missed the common areas to hang out.

The hostel was my first volunteering experience and it was great! The place is more like a guest house, so there isn't a common area and you'll talk more to the other volunteers. That said, my tasks were easy and I didn't have any trouble with that. The receptionists, assist manager and manager were great with me whenever I had some doubt or needed something. The guest are fine in general. There are some that see you as their employee at first, but after some time they smooth 😅 others are extremely kind. I ended up actually meeting and having insightful conversations with a few of them.
