St Christopher's Oasis Reviews

Great, safe location. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable, especially late nights when we were looking for something to do. They also looked up how we could get back to the hostel using the night busses.

Really great hostel, we stayed in the all girls part so we had to walk about 2 blocks to check in and out and also to have breakfast. It wasn't too much of an inconvenience, but sometimes was very very cold haha. Staff were great and friendly and we could get around very easily. I would recommend staying closer to Oxford street, etc. if you want more of a party vibe.

Excellent location, great WiFi, only one thing that I can adjust the watertemperature for shower, I stay 4 nights, it was hot..cold..normal..hot.....

Staff were great. It is a 5 min walk to get to any of the services though and it was supposed be cleaner and in better condition than the other hostels along with quieter so you pay extra and it was none of those things.

I thought that the location of the hostel was amazing, so close to everything interesting, yet not close enough to affect the prices of the hotel, as well as the surrounding (shops, cafes, etc.). The staff and the security was good, nothing to complain about. My only "but" is the facilities in the hostel - everything was fairly clean, yet because all of the facilities were pretty dated, they seemed very "used", so even with the cleaning effort of the staff, the hostel still seems kind of dirty.

Pros - 8bed dorm is spacious & has a comfy bed. Cages for luggage is handy! There were 2 showers & 3 toilets on our floor which were adequate. No problem with wifi. Cons - If all you want is to shower & sleep this is good. However, if you want to do anything else, e.g. eat, heat up food, sit & chat with other travelers - no can do - building doesn't have a common room. No elevator - 3rd floor with luggage is a long way up! Staff are not helpful & breakfast is served a few blocks down the street.

stayed in women's dorm down the street from main dorm. Up four flights of narrow steps, no fire escape route other than the narrow steps. Felt like I was in a fire trap. Also and this is the biggie, the phone that connected this off shoot of a dorm wasn't up and running. So any problems, had to be dealt with four flights of stairs and a hike down the several blocks to the main dorm. FIX THE BLASTED PHONE FOLKS. Also staff although extremely nice didn't have knowledge about area's transportation.

This place was clean and well-located. However, it is VERY noisy since it is on a major street leading to London Bridge and Borough stations. It was tough for me to sleep the night I stayed but the bed was comfortable, at least.

About cleanliness you can be better especialy at showers.

We really enjoyed our stay a lot. The staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms and facilities have been incredibly clean! Towels, Hair dryer and shampoo were provided - awesome!! It was a bit loud due to the big street, but that's what you expect when you have a hostel in central London! I would definitly recommend staying in St.Christophers!!

The Oasis is good and quiet. The main hangout area, microwave, bar and lobby are all located in a separate building a couple minutes walk down the road so if you are looking for a hangout space nearby its not the right hostel. The Oasis is quiet and safe and right next to the underground. There was also wifi and locker storage in the bedroom.

Would be good to include a map and directions on how to get to the hostel. People who aren't good with directions will need to spend more time walking and finding the place. Hot showers are great. Towels, shower gels and conditoning shampoos were provided complimentary, which i like very much. Would recommend females to stay there as it is quite safe.

An awesome place that I'll recommend to my friends and stay at if I go to London again.

The hostel is really nice...near the subway station! the staff gives you all the information about maps and places to go!

St. Christopher's was a really nice value, and I felt very safe and comfortable staying there. The location wasn't stellar I suppose, but London's so big, it wasn't too far from big hot spots.

I stayed at the oasis which is away from the village and the reception. It was quieter here and cleaner as well. A lot of the staff are really nice, and I didn't have a problem with any of them. There is one worker named Patrick (some Asian guy) who wasn't really helpful when I asked for suggestions to go to places to go out other than the bar that's located in the hostel. he was also not helpful about free luggage storage though he offered it to a different group right before.

A bit noisy as in London always. Toilets were blocked most of the time we were there, so that wasnt very nice. Security didnt work very fluently, because the reception was in the other building anyone could walk in. So there were visitors whole time.

Everything about this hostel was pretty average. The beds were good enough although the pillows were pretty terrible (flat--NOT fluffy). The bathroom was cleaned daily (I think) but it didn't feel that clean to me.

an awesome hostel!!!! Everything was very clean.....you actually saw people cleaning the WC and showers daily, most days they came more than once. rooms were a bit small, but had good heating and ventilation, which is good when you have a lot of people. breakfast was good, some of the coffee mugs were dirty, but were happy to give you takeaway cups. Location was excellent, being separate from reception so you slept well in a quiet but still had access to common area. Staff gave great advice!

I was not impressed by the one member of staff that thought it was a good idea to move me out of my room on my last night just to accommodate 2 girls that wanted to be together. I had booked 3 weeks ago for 5 nights In the same room and was horrified when I got back from work at 20:30pm in the night to see a note on the door telling me that I need to be out the room and that I have been moved straight away, I was given no notice at all that I was to change rooms..... Normally I am treated quiet
