The hostel wasnt too bad at all and I will more than likely stay there again at some point but the worst thing was the cleaners in the morning. Had no respect for the fact we were sleeping in there and came in and out over 2 hours about 10 times. Just walked in making loads of noise etc. They also started window cleaning on the inside whilst we were in bed. VERY RUDE and we couldnt believe it when they kept walking in and not caring. It put us off and it worried us about our possessions.

The hostel has a great bar with good music to have a drink and enjoy yourself at night but take your ear plugs with you if you're planning to sleep, you can hear the music really too loudly from the rooms.

Great Hostel, Great Location. Stayed here with a mate of mine for 2 nights and had no hassle whatsoever. Bar is great for food and a few drinks. Also watched the football there one night, bit of a buzz around. Great bars all around as well, especially The Blues Kitchen across the road. Excellent live music and food. Overall, value for money in a great location.

I got in, totally exhausted, booked into my room, then was yelled at by the owners of that room for being in their room. Turns out it was a 'system fault' that put me in an 8 person room which had 8 people in it already?! I was really unimpressed. The next morning, I sed my prepaid breakfast voucher to purchase a bacon bap, which was 2pound 50, and I had paid 3.50/3.95 for it, and when i ordered my bap, I was asked to pay an extra pound! which does not make sense on any level.

Yet again I will apologise profusely about the situation that happened when you had checked in. But we did try our best to fix the problem as painlessly and quickly as possible. Yet again I do apologise for the inconvenience. As you, I am also unsure why you were asked for an extra pound when ordering your breakfast. I will make sure that this issue is taken up with staff. I at least hope that the rest of your stay wasn't all unsatisfactory. And that it won't put you off from giving us a second chance. Enjoy the rest of your travels

Don't plan on going to sleep before 2am if on the first floor, the music from the pub downstairs is really loud. That said, everything else about this hostel was good, and would stay again. Camden is fantastic.

I am sorry for the noise, Fridays and Saturdays we are open till 2am with a DJ. We know it can get loud. But next time you stay with us, please don't hesitate to come down to reception for ear plugs that we give away for free to all the hostel guests. But I am glad you enjoyed the rest of you stay and hope that you will come and stay with us soon again.

First of all, I thought the staff terrible. There was a girl very very boring and had no patience to help us. The security was poor since I saw many times one girl from another room inside my room, using the bathroom, toilet, energy, and so on. The bath was terrible since we must to push a button to get some water... A mess! And the flush in the toilet didn't work. I gave up of my staying from 5 days to 2 days only, and I can garantee that I won't be back, and I won't recommend to my friends.

A really good location. It's a nice hostel, but they don't have lots of facilities. It doesn't have kitchen. The breakfast is ok. The staff were good, but they made a huge mistake with my reservation and i had to chance rooms three times!

The hostel wasn't so bad, but toilets and showers wasn't the ideal. The pub had a wide choiche of beers (especially Guiness, my favourite) and the music was good. I could return overthere but I would like finding a better showers.

Great hostel! The bar is really cool and the canden pub crawl passes in the bar of the hostel. It's was the best pub crawl i've ever been. Everything was great! I though the hostel had really fit my homossexuality =))

I was at the hostel on weekdays, so probably I've lost a lot of what Camden really is. Besides that, the hostel is ok for the price, has a nice bar downstairs and is close to the metro station. If you care too much about cleanliness and comfortable bed, this may not be your place. The common area isn't that great if you're alone, but it's not hard to meet some people at the Camden's Pub Crawl. If you're on a budget, it's a good choice.

This hostel was very average, considering the price. The room was unbearably hot and stuffy and the windows did not open. I dealt with three staff members - two were useless (told me heating could not be turned down and were generally apathetic) and one was lovely (thank you Dave). I thought it was a bit cheeky to advertise a room as 'ensuite' when there was only a shower, no toilet. Breakfast, kitchen facilities, cleanliness and upkeep were all average, but the washing machines were cheap!

The rooms were not very clean and a guest that wasn't actually in my room left her stuff there and the staff seemed to be ok with that, this guest kept entering our room at odd hours during the night making a lot of noise, turning the lights on to get her stuff (and occasionally even "forgetting" to turn it back off) and showing no respect to others, what bothered me the most was the fact that she shouldn't even be there...

Good location, near underground. Breakfast could be better. Cleaness is something they really have to improve, and staff, as usual at St. Christopher'ss is not very Nice
