YHA - accommodation in Penge

We booked a room for 6 nights and arrived extremely early in the morning. We asked for an early check in and was told that there weren’t any rooms available. After a few minutes of checking the computers we were offered an upgraded room and early check in for a minimal charge. We accepted and were in our room a few minutes later. The employee was extremely helpful. The room was clean and everything were in order. The complimentary mini bar was a nice perk. We had a beautiful view of the London Eye and Elizabeth Tower from our room. An overall amazing hotel. Would definitely stay again.

Everything was great and met our expectations especially the staff. However the hotel has been recently painted on the exterior a very unwelcoming color. Also guests should request outside view room because the inside view room they gave us had view of dead birds caught in protection netting.. really unpleasant.

No mirrors in the rooms, had to lean over the sink to apply makeup. The room while nice was dark with little natural daylight! Great complimentary bar and excellent breakfast!
