Great place and a lot of fun all around. Good location for the money, just the facilities need a little updating since they are very old, and to be cleaned a bit more.

Hey there, Thank you for your feedback! With regards to wifi, the connection might lag occasionally during peak hours. Don't forget that we have a different wifi connection in our bar however that can be used as an alternative. We also have round-the-clock cleaners and reception so if you find that the showers are not in top condition you can always let us know. Many thanks!

I stayed in room number 1 for the first night and the sound from the bar downstairs kept me awake for a couple of hours. The staff was great on morning shifts but aftewrads was kind of rude. Overall its a good hostel. Breakfast was good.

Only downside was no PowerPoint outlets in the rooms so you had to charge in the common room on ground level which was a bit inconvenient. Otherwise we loved our stay here!

Suggestions:Shelves in the showers would have been more convenient. In Barcelona the bunks had curtains to create more privacy I wish the London location had the same. Perhaps add some fruit to the breakfast line up, just carbs does feel too good after a couple of days. Postives: My bed was super comfortable! I felt safe with all the keyed entry points. The common room was a good place to relax outside the room. Staff was friendly and helpful.

It is very well located, the staff was so nice, but the internet only works in the hall, and the bathrooms were terrible, the water didn't get warm and it was not very clean also. The breakfast was poor.

The hostel is ok, but doesn't have the same level of the others St Christopher's. No individual power socket or light. And a lot of noise, that goes all night. It's a hostel for partying. If you just want a good night of sleep, i wouldn't stay here.

Unfortunately if you want to store luggage and you are not part of a group then you have to rent a locker. The hostel is quite clean although the shower facilities have been around for a while now and are looking a bit dirty. The only other thing is to try and ask for a room on a different floor from the groups as they are pretty loud and the kids run around until the early hours. Apart from that it's okay. The breakfast is good, location the best and sometimes they have really cheap beds.

Although we pride ourselves as a party hostel, we make sure that our guests always gets a good night's rest. So do let us know if your room is not up to your standards! Cheers!
