I definitely liked the location, it's just a few steps from both london bridge and borough tube stations. In addiction, the bar contributed to create that young and fresh atmosphere. What i disliked were the washeooms and toilets, they weren't clean at all and the water which poured from the showers was boiling! Another negative side was the poor breakfast, nothing compared to the paris st christopher's. Anyway i'd stay there again if i came back to london because in the end it had been ok.

Great Hostel. Spacious and clean Rooms, free Breakfast and Wi-fi, nice Bar, cool Staff.... 24 Hours Reception that was helpful. There was Bellushis Bar integrated into the Hostel, which open till 2:00! Location next to London Bridge Station. Across the Road there was a mini market. Negatives? I might can complain about the average toilets and showers, but they all were in a good state and did what they were supposed to - just have seen better ones.

La verdad que el hostel se pasa de bueno, en ubicacion, seguridad y limpieza. Ademas tiene su propio bar con \"descuentos\" para los q se hospedan. Lo que podrian mejorar es que en la habitacion de 12 camas habia solo 2 enchufes, y al lado de la puerta, las duchas usan ese sistema del Push to Open, y solo agua caliente \"MUY CALIENTE\" es decir q ni podes regular la cantidad del agua q sale ni la temperatura. El resto de las cosas muy buenas.

This place is garbage! Easily the worst hostel I've stayed at. Do NOT stay here!!! Location is horrible. Its so far from every good bar and the underground stops at 12:30am so if you want to go out you will have to get an expensive taxi or walk really far. They made me change rooms in the middle of my stay. The hostel worker hurried me out. Literally grabbing my stuff and carrying it out. I asked her to stop and let me pack my own stuff. She just ignored me! Plus, bathrooms were dirty.

Hi Thanks for leaving your review, we are located in London Bridge, Zone One, couldn't be more central! We are about a 20 minute walk from a number of London's Tourist Attractions, and with a great transport hub near by, and staff who know how to get almost every where between them. When guests don't change rooms when they are meant to, and we have more guests checking in to their room, we usually help the guests move, trying to make it easier for them, not harder. We clean the bathrooms 4 times a day, we are sorry you didn't find them as clean as you should have. Thanks Again St Chris Team

Everything was excellent. Security was great you get one card to open the door to your room, to the common areas and to the lobby, The location is good but not great, theres a metro station 200m away but you probably have to take another sub more to get to most of the places. Staff was excellent, Atmosphere was great, really easy to meet people; Rooms were clean; Value for money it's not cheap but im not sure if there's anything cheap in london.

The hostel is very nice, although there is no kitchen, there are some facilities to make a hot meal or tea/coffee. The atmposphere was great, everything was really clean, always hot water in the bathroom. The only thing which made me mad is that is wasn't so obvious for the staff that people who travel together want to be in the room together. It didn't happen to me, but the group before me had some serious problems. Everything else - excellent.

Hi Thanks for the review, unfortunately if guests do not tell us they are travelling together, it is not always possible to place them in the same room. We allocate rooms to groups of people in advance, to try and ensure friends are together. Best way to make sure you stay together, is just drop our reservations team an email or phone call, and they can allocate when you book. We hope to see you again soon St Chris Team

Nice location but there are hostels with better one. Staff is nice but you don't get that much in touch with them. Lockers inside the rooms, the place is clean but the shower was flooding. There is a nice bar in the hostel but no kitchen if you want to cook. Wi-fi is free and good. Breakfast is the basic that you find in most hostels, toasts, jelly, milk, coffee, cereal. Would stay there again.

Had a room directly over the bar and even though we didn't get in until gone 1am, still had 2-3 hours of relentless noise from downstairs/people running about and yelling in the corridors- not cool. I know this is a 'party hostel', but you should still be able to sleep!

Standard. Huge.

I did not find the staff were very helpful. They did not go out of their way to help me, even when I asked. They just do the bare minimum. It's a big facility. A better introduction to the hostel or a quick tour would feel more welcoming. Other than that, the beds and facilities were pretty good. Wireless Internet cannot be accessed on the 3rd and 4th floor rooms.

This hostel was a lot of fun. The bar is cheap and has good food. Breakfast is all bread though, so gluten-free folks should order from the bar. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the showers were hot and clean. The staff was friendly and the other Guests were mostly great. Plugs were in short order - our 12 bed dorm only had one. It's a bit pricey, but so is everything in London. The staff was really helpful and recommended some great local places!

My only major complaint about the place is the lack of a kitchen, or even just a refrigerator. Otherwise, good. Belushi's is a cool place but too expensive to eat at for every meal every day, which is where the fridge would come in handy.

I would advise to add at least some hooks to the double rooms as there is nowhere to hang up your clothes...cleanliness in the showers could be better...try to get some fresh air into the chill out room and change the bins more often in the locker room as people seem to leave food in there... Staff was friendly and helpful, bar is nice...

Despite some of the reviews that questioned staff and cleanliness I chose to stay here. My experience at St c's London Bridge was excellent. The rooms, showers/toilets and staff were all beyond complaint. This hostel offers a great location at a great price and the staff are totally first class. There might be better values in London, but somehow I doubt that it is true
