The showers were the dirtiest I have ever used at a hostel, I had hairs in my bed sheets the day I arrived and the toilets sometimes did not flush. Other then that everything was great! staff were awesome, met great people.. would probably stay here again

Friendly staff but super dirty bathrooms and grungy rooms. The bar was nice except when a large bouncer would come at 11 and tell you to get out and go home (apparently its closing time). We were harassed by the bouncers once when bringing food in even though we always saw people bringing outside pizza to the bar. I don't really see why the bouncers have to be patrolling this small bar, people just want to chi and have a good time. I liked the lock cages under the bed to put your stuff into

Hey Thanks for leaving the review, we close at 2am, so the door security only ask people to leave early if they have had too much to drink! Because we serve great food in our bar, people are not allowed to bring in their own food, but our hostel guests are more than welcome to eat in the chill-out room in the hostel. We have door security for the safety of staff and guests a like as we are a bar that's open to the public. Thanks again for the review, we hope to see you again St Chris Team

Overall, we had a really great time at this hostel, but we were disappointed by how dirty it was. We LOVED the hostel staff staying here--they were all super helpful and friendly--the kind of people we like to hang out with! On the other hand, the showers were a bit of a mess, and our room was pretty gross. Stay here for the atmosphere, not the cleanliness.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback! We really appreciated the time you took to write your review since we can learn a lot from our guests' experience and constantly improve. We're glad you had a good time here and that you found our staff helpful and friendly. Sorry if you had issues with the showers and the room. Our bathrooms are cleaned multiple times a day by our housekeeping staff, unfortunately during peak times it becomes difficult to keep them clean due to their high usage. We are working closely with our housekeeping team so as to deliver the best service to our guests. We would be delighted to have you here again :) St. Christopher's Village Team

Definetly one of the best experiences I had in hostels. Quite expensive, but the atmosphere is amazing and the staff was always friendly!!

Great place to stop by, lots of rooms. Lockers in the back too, so you don't have to carry your stuff all around london before checking in, like I did. :)

Wonderful atmosphere, good staff, it is not exactly in the Centre of London but really in a nice place really well connected. If you enter before the check in time there are lockers in which you can leave (paying) your luggage, but when I arrived (noon) there were no lockers available. Some more lockers might be good

In London this could be one of the best hostels taking into consideration all the services provided for the value you pay. NIce staff, nice atsmophere, good room, nice facilities and breakfast included. From this hostel you can walk to the London Bridge and then start walking along the river, and this is really great.

Room was way too cold. The music was roaring loud, and as I was on the first floor, I could hear the music loud and clear. Was unable to sleep for a very long time due to this.

Hi! Thank You for taking the time to leave us with your feedback. We are sorry to hear you didn't have the most enjoyable stay with us. We try to encourage guests to inform the 24 hour reception team if the room is cold, as often it is a simple fix we can promptly solve and you can continue to enjoy your stay! Unfortunately given our central location and Downstairs bar it can be noisy from time to time, but to assist with this we do provide free earplugs from our 24 hour reception. Thank You again, The St. Christopher's Team.
