Very good value for money. We got a twin private for 4 nights. Pretty comfortable and good value for money.

quite good for living just for one night. only one thing, I have to walk a few minutes from reception to find my room, which is a little bit strange.

This hostel could definitely use more washrooms for the amount of guests they accommodate. Also, this hostel is actually three hostels in one, spaced out by a few blocks between each. And the check-in, chill out room and cinema room are all in the same hostel, with no common areas in the other hostels.

The problem with this hostel are the two possible locations. There are rooms in different places, but the reception is in only one of them, so if you need anything, you need to walk down the street and go to the other hostel. It's pretty close, but when you're tired or have a problem during the night, it gets a little complicated. I stayed there for 3 nights and there was never a towel available for the guests. I also think there should be at least one computer available for the guests.

The staff was friendly, especially in the bar. I really liked having a singular bathroom, more private than a locker room type of bathroom. The comforter on the bed was amazingly comfortable. My one complaint was that when I arrived I asked about laundry and I talked to three members of staff about it before actually going to do laundry. When I got to the laundry room I was then informed I couldn't do laundry till after 4:30. I was just unimpressed that the staff wouldn't tell me that.

I know a hostel is different from a hotel, but compared to some others I stayed before and after this one, I can tell there were others at a lower price with better breakfast, cleaner bathrooms and more accessible. At the inn there is no elevator, the stairs are too narrow; therefore, it's very hard to carry your luggage up and down the stairs. Besides, it's very noisy. The good part was that I made friends in the 4 bedroom dorm and they were really nice. The location is good.

Not only did i have to have my card reprogramed 4 times during my stay, I know of another guest who was booked in a different room but her card opened my door. The free breakfast was pitiful. The rooms where clean but the staff was not friendly. The room was so hot that you had to keep the wind open at all times, but at night the people drinking would keep you up at night, and their cigaret smoke would come into the room. The beds where uncomfortable and the showers annoying.

I would recommend staying in the Village, rather than the Inn as the reception is a 5 min walk up the road from the Inn's rooms. As a result they are much less secure and more inconvenient.

Great Hostel! Excellent service and I enjoyed my stay very much. I only had one improvement, if the WiFi was available in the whole hostel. But, keep it going, very good!

The hostel has only SUPER HOT showers. In the summer and winter you feel like you leaving a sauna after a shower! =(

Overall a good hostel with lots of fun. However, the fact that I found a mouse in my room decreases the rating of the hostel!

The hostel was very close to London Bridge station and near a whole range of places which were easily accessible by foot. However, had to walk a hundred metres to Belushi's Bar to have breakfast and speak to reception. We extended our stay on two occasions and had to move once, but our second room (6 mixed) was a lot better than our first (8 mixed). Found traces of a mice trying to eat my friend's lollies in a plastic bag (small bite marks). Wireless is also only available in the main building.

I was in a different building, which is a minute walk from the main part, which was a pain as you don't feel a part of the hostel, so its hard to get into the whole atmosphere. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable. It is in an excellent location, a couple of minutes to London Bridge station & walking distance to a lot of attractions as well. Security wasn't great, I heard about a lot of thefts & I wasn't surprised, as I left my card in my room & they just gave me a new one, no questions asked.

Great location and very good location - close to the tube station and a lot of tourist attractions. The staff were amazing and the place had a great vibe in the bar section and common rooms. Movie room was cool too. I met a lot of awesome people there. The breakfast was good too. However, there was a lot of theft taking place when I stayed there and unfortunately I had stuff stolen. Still a cool place.

It was a good hostel, nothing special. The shower room was really worn down, but the rest of the hostel was clean and lived up to normal English standard (which isn't a positive thing).

There are 3 St Christopher's Inn at London Bridge. The most disappointing aspect of staying here is that only one of them has reception, common area and provides breakfast. If you are staying in one of the other two buildings you need to walk to the main St Christopher's for breakfast and to use the common area and hostels other facilities. Of course they don't tell you these until you get there.

Great place to stay. Pub downstairs is excellent. I dont know what some of the other reviews were on about but the noise level wasnt a problem in the slightest. Really enjoyed this hostel but having said that, everything thats happening is going on down at the st christophers london bridge down the road. This is said to be the "quiet option" which it was, but did get the feeling you were a bit removed from the action. Having said that, its two blocks up the road so really not a big deal!
