Nice place with kind people! Great location to explore all of London and the work is not too difficult. Hours are respected and you often end up with lunch as well as breakfast and dinner if you take leftovers. Over all I had a good experience but since a lot of residents are staying long term, the environment is not like a regular hostel (less travelers and tourist and more students or workers). Thanks the hostel for a good stay!

I had a great experience at the hostel, the hostel is very well located, the schedules are respected, the food is great and so is the staff. I met wonderful people there. Thank you very much to Barry, Mohammed and the entire the hostel team for the experience!

My experience at the hostel Paddington was amazing! I met a lot of great people and made really good friends. The hostel is very well located, the meals are great, and the hours are respected. The amount of stairs provides a good daily cardio workout tho 😂 I highly recommend it to everyone and can't wait to go back!

My experience at the hostel Paddington was positive. The place has a good location. The contact with the other volunteers is pleasant. The reception staff are friendly and understanding. I changed rooms a few times, but I understand that they were undergoing renovations. The hours are respected and they are ready to be flexible with the needs of the volunteers. I was in the kitchen and the work was quiet, but intense and dynamic. Depending on the chef in charge, the atmosphere can be peaceful or you can count down the hours until your shift is over. It was good and I will remember it fondly.

I really had fun meeting volunteers and residents from different parts of the world! The location is really nice, there are 4 tube stations nearby(Paddington, Lancaster Gate, Queensway and Bayswater). Free laundry once per week. Two meals a day(not very vegetarian friendly though), and it's really nice to have kitchens to cook in! I hope the volunteers' rooms were more spacious, or at least don't sqeeze 4 beds in one room. Fortunately if you speak to the manager they can try to solve your problems. Hope all of you can start friendships lasting your whole life :)

Heads up fellow travelers! This is a nice place to make international friends. I'm so lucky to have met my life-long brother and sisters here! The tasks are not difficult but communication is the key. Make sure to check your rota with the management and tell them in advance if you need a day off. The food provided here is fine (not so good for vegetarians though); two meals a day and you can keep left overs for yourself. Shared dorms can be great or bad depending on whom your roommates are. I stayed in a 4 bed room with bunkbeds(which I don't enjoy), but most rooms are better than this.

I had a positive experience. Everything they offered was delivered, and they stuck to the schedules. The managers are respectful-friendly. The offer mentioned that you get 2 meals, but most days they actually provided 3, which was a pleasant surprise! My volunteer work ended on September 17th, and I made sure to notify them 9 days in advance. We discussed my days off (September 16th-17th),making sure everything was fine in the end, just as I needed since I had an upcoming trip. All of this, once approved, was documented on the platform to keep everything clear and avoid any possible confusion
