The rooms are clean and locker cages are connected to your bed which is handy, it also has a great location. However, the pillows are literally paper thin, they can hardly be called pillows, and the free breakfast is a joke. Considering this is one of the largest and busiest hostel companies in Europe, they could provide more then bread, corn flakes, and instant coffee.

I was desapointed. I went to St Christopher's in Barcelona and it was awesome. Nevertheless, this one is average. Wifi didnt reach our room. Rooms are not as the ones in Barcelona (the ones shown on their webpage for all of their hostels)

Our stay at Christopher's Inn (London Bridge) was nice. It is a good hostel with good beds and basic facilities. Due to the good location you are close to the center and night life of London. The toilets and showers where fine and cleaned every day. There are lockers in the rooms, which you can use with your own lock. The hostel is accessible by a card, which opens the front and your room door. We didn't visit the common room because this was in another building. We enjoyed our weekend there!

The hostel is close to the London Bridge, but that's about it. It's kind of far from everything else. The rooms were nice but they could have had more outlets. Also, the hostel was on top of a bar and when they had live music it was really loud.

Hi, Thankyou for your comments, they mean a great deal to us and we can learn a lot from them. We do apologize for the noise, we realize that not everyone wants to come and join in the fun at weekends! We do advertise our weekends on our website for guests wishing a more peaceful time. We are very close to the underground and there are a lot of things to do in London Bridge itself, unfortunately there is always some travel required whilst staying in London due to the size of the city. We hope that you do choose to stay with us again, next time come down to the bar and we will buy you a drink! Regards St Christopher's team, Southwark

Average/good hosel. Too many steps and poor indication/signs. Suggestion to fasten the breakfast line:s et the toaster in a corner so the line might flow easily. Not all guests choose to use toaster.

I Was not very happy when I arrived at St.Christopher's Inn, because when I showed my Passport, they told me that they are not able to let underaged people stay at the hostel. No-one from hostelworld told me about this and the strage thing is that I was able to pay with my Kreditcard?! An now I just wont to ask if you can send me back the money?

Hi, Thankyou for taking the time to review us, your comments are greatly appreciated. We do mention in the terms and conditions section of our website the company policy regarding underage children. It is the responsibility of the person booking to check this information at the time of booking. You were able to pay as the the website has no way of knowing the ages of guests booking hence the terms and conditions section. Regards The Team, St Christopher's Inn, Southwark

Very cool staff and nice facillities, but there were several little wrong things (internet never really worked in a very good way, bathroom was way too tight and it's not very good that the reception is not in the same building. But I would still recommend because of the amazing location and very reasonable price.

Hi, Thankyou for your review, they really make a difference to us as we learn a lot from our guests experiences! We understand that there is a 3min walk to get to the reception but we don't have the space here for a reception area. We have very characterful buildings here in Southwark and make the best use of the space we have. The location is fantastic and we feel all these old buildings add to the magic of staying in London Bridge! The staff will be happy to know they are all very cool Regards The Team St Christopher's Inn, Southwark

The room was fine, but the bathroom ugly! Wet floor and full of garbage. The staff was nice, there were a lot of fine activities for night.

Though it was in a great location, the hostel is located on top of a pub, which is playing live music, which basically is great if you wanna join, but if you wanna sleep it´s way to noisy. The rooms were nice, more bathrooms/toilets would be great.

Average hostel... I didn't find anything special about it except its price which couldn't be beat. Showers were either freezing cold or scolding hot, and only 4 for the building I was in which made it almost an hour wait each morning. More showers! And you charge for lockers, luggage storage, and towels... not cool. Great hostel map though

Worst hostel ever. The staff gave us wrong keys so we could not open doors easily. They changed us from our room without asking us. We spend 3 nights there, on hot water at all!!! The red phone is absolutely not working. Terrible experience
