Housekeeping/Canteen/Kitchen help in London

Slovenia

4

I was here for 3 weeks. My first job was cleaning showers and after a few days I started working breakfast shifts. The working hours are always respected and you will have enough time to explore London. Just make sure what is the task you're going to do on the interview. The location is perfect, everything you need is just a few minutes away. The food is fine. Room atmosphere depends on your roommates. If you're looking for socialising and meeting new people this is not the best place (everything has to be silent after 23.00). I did build a good friendship with other volunteers :)

It was my first experience and it was so good. I've been working in the kitchen with Gigi (chef) it was easy and nice work with him, he is a very good person. The food is good and the room it depends of your roommates. The location is perfect, it has near underground, bus and you can walk to many places like Hyde park, Oxford street, Buckingham Palace, etc. The only bad things is that the place is not a hostel so is difficult to socialize. Anyway I recommend to have this experience.

The people were all very nice, respectful, and generally helpful. The problem was, they put me in a room that was infested with bed bugs. Not cool I eventually learned that they've had a bed bug infestation in this room for well over a year, maybe 2. To their credit, they have tried to use chemicals to exterminate the bed bugs, including twice during the month I was there. But obviously they're not willing to do what's necessary to actually solve the problem once and for all, which would require leaving the room empty for a couple months and replacing all the beds. So beware.

The hostel is well located, in the middle of London; the food is good; the host are polite and respectful; I met good volunteers there, made good friends for life! P.S.: always make sure what is the task you're going to do, for no surprises 🤭

My experience in the hostel was good! The people over there was nice with me. The only point is there is no social room to interact to another people. The dinner room closed at 10pm, so I didn't feel the hostel vibe, 'cause the hostel is quiet, but it was good. The task was easy an the schedule was really nice for me. I enjoyed my job on dinner. I just work at evening, so I really could enjoyed London.

A minha experiência no hostel foi muito especial! Conheci muita gente boa, pratiquei bastante inglês, fui bem recebida, mas há pontos importantes: faltou mais clareza de informações (treinamentos) e o trabalho no dining room é um pouco puxado, pois só há 1 day off e no final de semana trabalhamos dobrado. Além disso, os chefs são um pouco difíceis de lidar e alguns colegas voluntários também podem dificultar o processo. Mas em um geral, adorei! Voltaria e recomendo!
