Friendly outgoing staff, excellent location in the centre of London. Price is o.k. And it is nice that hostel has own resteurant and bar that is so long open. As I dont eat glutein and I am vegetarian too, there was no anything for me in the breakfast (bread and cereal only, no fruits) but bf is free. Resteurant had one option, rainbow salad, that was too poor. For most of the people resteurant and it´s nice 25% discount is good

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.

Nice hostel, well located and it was very convenient to have a restaurant down stairs but sometimes it gets a bit noisy. It definitely needs outlets in the rooms (I had to charge my phone in the stairs). But overall it was a good stay.

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.
