YMCA Indian Student Hostel — Hotel in London

This is my honest review just wanted to share my experience without being prejudice to anyone particular. I have been discriminate by one of the serving guy (presumably he is one of the chefs dressed white with white short beared). All the stuffs in YMCA are wonderful & friendly except this serving guy (presumably he is from South India). As this place advertised & charges for dinner BUFFET so I presume everyone can ask for food as much as you can. Anyway as per my experience goes I have noticed this guy have some attitude problem & he does not seems like people comes back for food second time that's strange! I love Indian food in the YMCA which is delicious & feels like home cooking however when ever I returned back for the second time especially I don't eat rice at the dinner so I ask for chapattis instead of rice & this guy always gives 2 chappatis first time then when I ask for another 2 for the second time he seems does not like that. I don't understand what is his problem? In my last visit in the month of September I have noticed he has been talking & laughing with his colleagues about me because I ask for extra chappatis. Also in a previous occasions I have seen he gave me 2 chapattis from 2 different container presumably first one was freshly made & the second one from the morning as per the taste was two different. I don't know if anyone of you have noticed this as I am thinking of making a complain to the YMCA senior management about this guy. What is really bother me that I don't understand south Indian language so I don't understand what he is talking about regarding me behind my back but as per expression of his face & attitude I can feel uncomfortable & I am sure something is wrong with this guy. I have seen this guy always there in the evening & he is the main person serves everyone food at the counter . Please share your experience if you gone through similar...

The YMCA Indian students hostel is a very disappointing place. I stayed there a week this month and this was my experience:||1. The single and shared rooms in the basement are highly avoidable. Badly ventilated and noisy, they do not have lift access and you get there through dingy passages and many steps, so too bad if you have luggage. ||2. My room had a noisy heating mechanism, which sounded like loud water droplets the first two nights and then nothing short of a train track on the third. This can be a problem with old buildings, but my written and oral complaints to more than 5 people at the reception and maintenance went unheard. I was sleepless for most of the week, and the response of the staff was between tepid to simply ignoring my polite repeated requests for repair. A room change was not possible since the hostel was fully booked.||3. Knowing their location and their price, the Indian YMCA student hostel knows that they can get by with taking their guests for a ride. This they do by charging the full tariff amount at checkin (not checkout like most hotels/hostels) and then you are simply trapped into staying there. ||4. The food timings are restricted, the chefs mostly loud and rude in telling you to finish up eating, and the dishes are poor. The rate card for guests at meals is simply not worth it. Coming from India, I can say that the Indian food here is really below average. ||5. IF you stay a week, your room is not even cleaned once. Only if you stay more than a week do you get cleaning - why these strange rules?||Overall, avoid staying here despite the great price and location. It is uncomfortable and not worth ruining the rest of your...
