I can clearly recommend the hostel! It was a great place to stay, especially cuz the underground was 2min away and the night bus stopped directly in front of the hostel. The rooms were very clean and so were the showers. The only thing is that there is no AC in the rooms so it can be pretty hot sometimes. But u get a good value for ur money and the breakfast was good as well (toast, cereals, peanut butter, nutella, marmelade, coffee, juice). Hope I can go back asap!

Very nice location next to the train station and the food at Belushi's is quite good. I loved the staff and the cleanliness of the facility.

Other than the bar directly below my dorm room keeping me up till the wee hours of the morning on Saturday, I enjoyed staying here. Right across from the Tube station, breakfast included, very helpful staff, rolling bins under the beds that you can lock your stuff in, shower stalls have room to change outside the shower itself. I would stay in a St Christophers again.

There is no kitchen in the hostel which makes London ever more expensive for the budget traveler. A bit noisy. Find hostel if you just need a bed.

The hostels in a great location and very easy to find, and staff were really helpful especially with awkward check in times and changes of plan on my part. The club downstairs can be very noisy, but ear plugs sorted that problem out and it stopped at 2AM anyway. Nice/ comfy room, and toilets and showers were OK, although could maybe have done with an extra couple. Great value for the price.

The breakfast was simple, but what do you expect for 13 quid a night? We had full english breakfast the for the 2nd day breakfast, 2.95 quid with room key, really valuable, but i don't think i will be willing to pay 7 quid for the original price. The pub music were a bit loud, I guess that's the reason why they provide free ear plug at the reception. Toilet were clean but there would be a pond if there's someone came out from shower, great staffs, i would definitely recommend this hostel.

We stayed in a 6 bed mixed dorm. Beds were comfy, plenty of space in the room. Freshly painted. Plenty of bathrooms. But if you want to lock away your valuables, you have to pay to do this. Free breakfast is ok, the bar has good discounts on menu items. But even when there is not many people around, expect to wait up to an hour for breakfast off the menu. Staff were ok, but one in particular seemed like she didn't want to be there, and we got the sense we were a hassle.

Staff don't really have much to do with you. Ask any questions that you have when you arrive. Bar is great, shops and underground are just outside the door. It really is a great location. Could do with more showers and toilets, showers are a pain but atleast the water is hot. No locker in room but can hire if required. Breakfast is good, good supply of food.

It is conveniently located near a metro station, so you can quickly get to where you want to go. We have a hard time getting our room keys to work. There isn't a common area, either.

I enjoyed my stay at the hostel. It's right in front of the subway. Great athmosphere. Breakfast's great. Staff's nice & helpful. The rooms & bathrooms are clean, & cleaned everyday, which is great. However, the hostel bathrooms need to be renewed (i wish they were as great as the restaurant bathrooms!) : tap pipes, door lockers. And the restaurant needs to be cleaned more often: tables are sometimes dirty & kind of sticky, and i saw a few cockroaches. Thanks! I may come back!

Hi On its way!!! St. Christophers

Great location and atmosphere, clean rooms... recommended! However, the HostelWorld.com site said there would be hardryers available even though there weren't. Another thing that should be fixed is the Wi-Fi coverage and security: most cell phones weren't able to connect on the 3rd floor. Also the network didn't use any kind of encryption which allowed other guests to "sniff your packets" on non-HTTPS sites. Otherwise an excellent hostel!

Had to pay to put our bags in the lockers, but other than that, everything was good. Had peaceful and quiet roommates although the next room was partying loud.

Staff were great, and really helpful . However a few things to note for general visitors: 1) No lifts . If you don't have a backpack then staying in the all female dorms is 4 flights dragging your suitcase. 2) There isn't enough luggage storage in rooms- this isn't a massive deal but would have been nice to have rucksack sized lockers or under bed cages. 3) There isn't a common room or laundry facilities- no issue for me, but for others it was. Location isn't central, but has 3 underground lines

Well run hostel a minutes walk from the underground station. I stayed in a comfortable 8 bed female dorm. Lockers in the rooms were broken though and you had to pay to use the main lockers in the basement. I arrived early and they could not store my bag for free. Very clean throughout but the bathrooms are small and inadequate.
