Housekeeping/Canteen/Kitchen help in London

Good experience overall. I found a good team that made a difference. A bit tiring doing the same job for a month but serving dinner to the residents I had no complaints (good job seeing everyone). The room was comfortable, meals included which is a real plus in London! I would like to thank all the hostel team for your welcome and this experience!

As mentioned in a previous review, the place is not a typical backpackers hostel but rather has a lot of long term residents. As such, there are a few long term guests who are disrespectful to both the volunteers and the facilities. One of the male volunteers dorms seems to have a long standing issue with bed bugs which is slightly unsettling. However, Laurent and the team are lovely and it is in a perfect location to be able to see everything. Overall it was a good first experience and I am grateful for my time at the hostel.

I have mixed feelings about it. I was cleaning the showers so I got the best function, I did not had to deal with the rude guests or to talk much. The things are not clear. Laurent and Chaquita are okay at first, but they are very strict, sometimes you feel like you are owing them something and that is not an exchange, one time I heard that they were talking about me, that I haven't worked in my shift, which was a lie, just because I hadn't talked to them in the morning, and I didn't even knew I had to do it. I think I got it easy, I heard a lot of rumours of them being rude to the volunteers

I was feeling alone because there is no sharing place and anybody speak to each other so the mood its a bit boring and its very difficult to have fun there. Also, i slept in sheets where there were fleas that bit me at night... However the food is good, its nice to have a gym place inside the hostel.

My experience in this volunteer was cool, I met several volunteers from this hostel and from another hostel that I will take for life. The work is not difficult and I didn't have any problems with any other volunteer, guest or manager, the manager was always polite and clear with my tasks, but that's my experience. Some residents are ignorant and disrespectful and treat you badly. As a point of improvement, I think that better training should be given, since it is the volunteers who pass the training on to each other and sometimes end up having divergent information.

The hostel is great! Good location and plentiful food. I just think that there was not a good training for the new volunteers, I got lost several times with the activities because sometimes a person told me to do the job in a certain way and days later it was other... One more thing that I didn't like at the hostel were some guests and 2 night porters who are extremely rude and troublesome. Anyway, the experience was very good and I recommend it.

My time at the hostel was a great experience! The place is well located, has a good structure and the rooms are large and well equipped. Everything that was agreed on the platform was followed during my month of volunteering. Serving dinner for guests allowed me to bond and practice my English (and the food are great!). Some guests are VERY difficult to deal with, but that won't get in the way of my vision of the place. My only reservation would be the common areas... a wider and more open place is needed for the volunteers to interact. But I recommend the place. Thank you the hostel!

The location is very good, there is an underground nearby, many shops, very good! The hostel is a nice, comfortable place, I just believe that it should have an extra place for everyone to live together, but it is really very good, I loved my experience there! The hostel staff is very nice, Flávio cooks very nice people, Laurent too, he made some things more flexible for me, thank you very much!
