The YHA was fine really, although it had a few issues - the worst being that the lift was broken and I was on the top (fourth) floor! Still, it was good for me... *g* I think it needs refurbishment - it seemed to have the older harder mattresses still, and I've noticed that most YHAs I've stayed in over the last few years have much better mattresses. But it was much more handy as a tube line than I was imagining, and it was a nice ten minute walk to get there, and nice to have the Thames walk right there too. I'll definitely give it another go sometime! Also, a private en suite room for just me wasn't all that much more expensive than a dorm bed in the more central hostels, so that worked rather well too... *g*
