Ok enough to stay for a few nights. Great bar downstairs. Rooms arent so roomy. Very poor lighting as far as indoor lighting and windows.

We spent a wonderfull time there, it's a fantastic place! The staff is absolutely amazing, fun, nice, helpfull, welcoming... The place is right in camden hight street so it's perfect to move around. The food is great too, and very cheap (so as drinks). There is nice pubs around, but it might be better to come in the week end because it's more busy around. We have absolutely nothing bad to say about this place, it was a fantastic stay. Thank you to everyone at St Christofer's Camden!!

Thanks for you review. there are no lifts this is due to the fact the building is hundreds of years old. The WiFi does work. The chill out room is well signed and not that hard to find. Other than that your comments are very helpful.

Some staff were amazing and really went the extra mile, some were horrible. I came back one evening and used the toilet at the bar, only to be challenged by a member of the staff. Presentation of my key card was insufficient, he wanted to know my name to track because drunk guests have caused messes in the past. I did not use our room toilet because the main light was broken, the floor was covered in months of dust and had a termite trap, and had the remnants of a drunk guest's evening on it.

St Christopher's Camden was a nice hostel, close to two tube stops and a quick walk from the Camden market. The rooms had lockers and key card access. The staff were super friendly and helpful, even when attending to bar business. Having reception in the bar was surprisingly not weird, but all the effort and character was clearly in the bar. The rest of tje hostel was less exciting, but no complaints and I'd recommend it!

The best thing about this hostel was the staff, especially Cat (Kat?) who was just lovely. The light in the toilet was broken and despite reporting it several times, it was never fixed. I had to use it on a number of occasions with the door open so I could see. The hostel itself is pretty cramped but then again, it's London so it wasn't too bad. My key (and another girl in my dorm's key) was faulty and wouldn't always unlock the door. Not the worst hostel but not the best hostel either.

I really liked this hostel its in a great location, camden with the bars and markets on your doorstep. the only down point is that there is no kicten but the bar does good food and you get discount as a guest and drinks to. the pub does draw other pweople in besides guests to espacially on the weekend. i was only there one night but have stayed in other st christopher hostels before and it lives up to there standards easily

St. Christopher's Camden was awesome! I stayed there last week October 5-8th. The location was great, so close to the markets, bars and live venues. The staff (Tom, Nick, Fridge...especially Cat!) were really outgoing and funny. All of them were amazing at telling me where to go and how to get places quickly. Even when I booked in the online I had done it last minute, so I emailed St. Christopher's and they hooked me up with 3 nights instead of one!

Book in advance because its popular and for good reason! Reasonably small hostel with friendly staff keeping it personal. Bar with bar food and the option of a pub crawl any night of the week. Great location - Camden town is awesome! Fun and social atmosphere downstairs and peace and quiet upstairs in the dorms. The dorm I stayed in was a good size, had large lockers under the beds and was cleaned every day. Would definately stay here again!

This was my first hostel stay after many years. I experienced a fine stay in Camden town. The staff is nice and helpful. The lodging is clean, well organised. Given the fact, that I slept in a gender-mixed 10 person dormitory I would even call it comfortable. Concerning Londons conditions for accommodation this hostel is very high value.

The only negative aspect of my stay was the lack of cleanliness in the bathrooms.one member of staff in particular appeared to show no regard for customers queries and displayed a lack of commitment to ensure customers stay was enjoyable. Great character by all the other staff members in particular one lady who was very friendly. No telephone or computer access which I was surprised about considering these are now considered to be normal amenities in a hostel

Rooms were clean, but the shower had no lock and the windows wouldn't close all the way. Near a tube station and several grocery stores, but they have no self-catered kitchen. They have a microwave in the chill-out room, but that's it . And their chill out room has lockers (good), but 1 footon couch and maybe 5 high chairs...so it's not much of a chill out room. Beds were good. Because London was hot the rooms were too. But relatively close to the main attractions of london.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to review us! Unfortunately your stay fell right in the middle of the Chill Out room getting a facelift. Next time you visit it will be fully refurbished. Hope to see you soon! Regards, The St Christopher's Team
