Overally a nice place but some monkey business is happening there, they weren't able to issue me an invoice for my stay despite my numerous requests at reception desk and via email.

For London conditions, the property is reasonable priced. However, the bathroom facilities are very poor. 2 showers for, I can't tell how many but, a lot of girls, no space for your belongings while showering... 3 toilets only. If you get up to a normal time, it's a mess. Check out by 10 am is pretty early, too. Wifi is 3 pounds for your stay. This should not be priced any longer as you can have it for free anywhere else.

Positive...The place was pretty clean for a hostel, hot showers- no long queses for the showers. Great location, you can walk to Camden, Regents park in 35 mins. 5 mins to the tube Bunk beds - my partner is heavily pregnant, we were both given top bunks and she was unable to climb into hers, the foot holes on the ladders arent the easiest to climb. She ended up sleeping on the floor on her duvet all night, as the other people in her room refused to bunks. No large lockers in the room.

The rooms remind prison's cells. The internet is paid, slow and doesn't work in the rooms. The breakfast is poor. There are no lockers for the luggage. The guests are much too noisy regardless of the "keep quiet" signs. Within the staff I met only a couple of people willing to help while the others were in a bad mood speaking too fast with a horrible accent (not British, indeed). There are no super markets nearby. The Union Jack on the front desk is upside-down.

The guy at the reception was in a bad day. The bathroom isn't comfortable to take a shower, and I almost got burned with the hot water.

The hostel is good but could improve a lot better. The staff need to ask can i help you rather than ask what do you want. Its not very nice coming into a hostel. When sitting in the TV room. We where told to get OUT. That they had to clean. Then it was really loud at night. The secuirty guard did not want to know about it when i told them about the noise. The rooms where very small. No air con in the rooms. With the rooms being very small. Need to get the doors looked at.

I only checked in briefly after getting the last train from Paris and waiting for a flight the next morning. It seems like a nice rowdy place with the bar downstairs if you're up for that. Very easy to find from Kings Cross Station.

UGHHHH this place was absolutely filthy. The bathrooms were just gross. And my standards aren't exceptionally high....the room was SO HOT. Just filled with nasty bodies, and no ventilation. And the ladders up to the bunks were an absolute death trap! I fell off! Just an overall terrible experience here. And when we checked in, the staff was super aloof and just weird. Not welcoming like at other places. Stay at St. Christopher's.

Overcrowded. Approximately 700 beds. Not many toilets / bathrooms. No free Internet (already expected - they say it). One of the roommates was there for 2 days, and when other people arrived, the hostel staff told him to change his room once he 'had not checked in'. I probably will not stay there for a second time.

Absolutely class!! I've travelled around a lot and spent a lot of times in hostels and this one definitely ranks close to the top. Really friendly staff, really cool funky environment...and most importantly the bar doesn't close untill 3am! BOOM! Clink78 was awesome.
