I thoroughly enjoyed my short stay at the hostel and would definitely use it again and recommend it to others. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, the accommodation was excellent and the bar seemed very popular with residents and non-residents alike. Although travelling alone, at no point did I feel lonely. As I left after only one night (having stayed for a gig) I actually felt a little sad that I wasn't stopping longer!

Good hostel. The bar below does good special offers on beer, some of the cheapest you're likely to find in London. The same bar is basically a nightclub at night. Whilst this was fine with me, don't stay here If you want to sleep before 2am, it won't happen. Staff were friendly, Dan was very helpful. Good stay, would use again. Very easy to find as right outside greenwich DLR station

Facilities could be better taken care of, for example the microwave could be in a more decent condition. The place is great to spend a weekend if you are going to a concert to the O2 Arena or visiting the Greenwich area for example. Otherwise I would recommend staying somwhere else. The place gets really loud at night (you are warned about it) and there was no heating at night in December. The provied duvet keeps you fairly warm tough, except if you measure more than 190cm like me. Average.

It was particularly the shower and toilets that let the place down. The showers were in poor condition, not clean and rarely any hot water. Same for the toilets as well, they were very dirty most of the time. I will avoid staying there for these reasons in future.

second booking other there and just as good as the first time, if you want to sleep during the weekend ask for a bed on the second floor, or you have to party downstairs till two in the morning......so bad, kiding! Great party, good fun, thanks to all the team wich make our stay easier and funnier. Will come back soon.

There were a lot of things that occured in this hostal that led me to rated it like that. Eventhough it's easy to get there is a little bit to far away and you have to know the "short way" to get there, if not it really gets complicated. Then we were in a room for 8 people but I don' know if it was just luck but there were really strange people that got us scared by entering in to the room really drunk and doing weird things. Then the noise, as the bar is down the rooms it gets really noisy.

Potential visitors: read the reviews--the bar on the ground floor is VERY loud, the music can be heard clearly in the rooms and does not stop until 2 AM on the weekends. If you are early to bed, early to rise, this may not be the place for you. However, because of its excellent proximity to Greenwich Park and the Maritime Museum, I was willing to put up with the racket. The staff were friendly--hey Aurelien!--and the breakfast was minimal but there. The chill out room is absolutely gross.

had a nice stay in Greenwich, met some nice people, could do better concerning the shower but i've seen worse. The price/quality for the food and drinks is quite good, and there's good vibes in the bar, met a lots of funny people, the staff is helpfull. Just 30 minutes from the downtown , in the nice borough of greenwich, you wont be next door from covent garden but in a countryside and chill out atmosphere.

Hostel was in a good location, easy access to metro and restaurants around. The hostel was extremely cold at night because of the two big windows in our room. The heater in the room wasn't putting out any warm either. If you stay during winter make sure to bring plenty of warm clothing.

St Christopher's Greenwich is a great place to stay. The staff are very friendly, and the bar has a great vibe. Toilets and showers are however mixed for guys and girls.

Twin room: clean,comfy bunk beds, heater, big mirror, faces East (nice in the morning!) A bit far from the centre, so not the best option if you are in London for the first time and just want to see the sights - but perfect if you need to be around Greenwich (and there's plenty to see in the area.Perfect transport connection: located right opposite the DLR (the overground city train) station. The pub on the ground floor is lovely. All the staff were incredibly helpful. Definitely staying again.

I like St Christopher's Greenwich very much! By the way, the noise which they are say about was not so crazy!))) May be it cos I stay on November or my room was at second floor. But cleane quite well, staffs very frendly (Olly, thanks!) and breakfast simple but tasty. And it is a very good location at the centre of Greenwich, near Metro and just across bus177 station. And easy to find. Very cheap lanch and bar with good choice. Hostel is just classical as it is.

Very clean hostel. The workers were very pleasant and willing to help with just about anything. Only downfall was that I went to rent a towel in the morning and there weren't any left.
