Male Housekeeping volunteer in London

My experience at the hostel was great! It was my first time volunteering, and everyone was really kind. My work shift had two days off, which I used to explore outside the city. The housekeeping work can be tiring if you're not used to it, but it's easy to learn and manageable. The best part was the meals, they have vegetarian options, so I didn't have to worry about food and saved a lot. The other volunteers were great, and the atmosphere was really friendly. I learned a lot and met people from all over the world. Thank you, the hostel team! Thanks to Susanna, Dinkle, Barry and Mohamed

Volunteering at the hostel was a magical experience for me, one I would undoubtedly repeat. I met incredible people, each day bringing something new and exciting. Living so close to everything in London gave me plenty of opportunities to explore the city and enjoy some sightseeing. It's a fantastic experience for digital nomads, and as a bonus, I made friendships that I will cherish for a long time.

It was a good experience to meet and connect with people from different countries, the volunteers are amazing, the work can be hard sometimes but it depends, it is a team effort. The location is excellent for getting to know London, close to Paddington station. I have good memories.

This was my second time volunteering for the hostel and I appreciated being part of the team again. The recent expansion to two buildings (the hostel purchased the hotel next door) significantly increased the workload for both management and volunteers. While additional volunteers have arrived, most days come with high expectations for the workload. The General Manager does his best with the resources available and genuinely cares about the volunteers. It's a fun atmosphere overall, thanks to the other team members, and the dinners provided are very good. I look forward to volunteering again.

It was my first experience as a volunteer and it was incredible. I had never worked in hospitality before and I can say that I learned a lot about teamwork and customer service. The work is not difficult, but you need to be dedicated and responsible. Many people count on you to deliver a good work. The team at the hostel/Paddington are amazing. I want to especially thank Isabel, Susanna and Aliou Barry who gave me all the support when I needed it. It's a wonderful experience for you to make many friends from around the world and get to know the city. Thank you, the hostel Team, see you soon!

Thank you to the hostel team for the trust, I'm glad this was my first volunteer experience cause I really enjoyed, in general the staff were very friendly, kind and helpful; tasks and hours were clear and respected, on top you get nice recommendations of things to do around the city. The place is well located and easy to commute around the area. Finally, I got to meet and work with amazing people that I can now call my friends ! So I would recommend this host for you experience.
