The connection to the metro was dope, though the area had a lot of drunks a night and it was very loud. The showers were cleaned once a day but got dirty really quickly and the bathrooms smelled, well, like bathrooms. BUT it didn't matter at all because the staff were so welcoming, there were great activities, the hostel was furnished beautifully and there was not a single dudebro in sight. It was such a lovely stay and I'd come back in a heartbeat.

A wonderous hostel with everything you need. The staff were super friendly and helped me with everything i needed in the city. The vibes are ultra social with a free dinner and activities every night. The location is also superb with everything you need around you. I was surprised the bed was so stable even though i slept on the third bunk. Will for sure come back when I have the chance!

It was right next to the natural history museum. Also just a couple of minutes from the tube. I am on a budget and it’s the cheapest hotel in the area. Value for money amazing. Lovely room and bathroom, great breakfast and very helpful staff. We were very early so they locked our bags away safe and provided us tea and cold drinks before we went out sight seeing for a few hours.

This is a great location, and the hostel doesn't really claim to be more than a cheap place to stay, which it is. There's nothing really special about it as far as hostels go - but it is clean, safe and not too noisy, which is all you really need! I stayed in a ladies only room, and there was a private bathroom and shower attached.

Bedrooms were fine, the bed was comfortable. Lots of light from windows. Shelves were great and tall, so that I could store things even from the top of the bunk bed without having to climb down. Clean linen on bed, no surprises there. :) The hostel is in a great location for catching a coach from Victoria Coach Station.

Surprisingly spacious curtained area in the bunk beds. Not sure if it was just my room, but I was in a room with two-bunk beds instead of the three-bunk that hostels often provide, and I appreciated the extra space. Plenty of leg room too. Discounts at the pub downstairs (loved the food). GREAT location. I've never once had an issue with St. Christopher's and have recommended to friends for any visits to London.

It's a youth hostel and serves that need perfectly. Staff were friendly and helpful the room did what we needed it to. Are you getting luxury? No. But you are getting a central place to stay thats clean and friendly for a very good price if like us you're a big family on a tight budget.

We had an amazing stay at St. James Backpackers Hostel. The staff is incredebly lovely and welcoming. The common areas are very well equipped and incredebly spacious. Personally we really enjoyed the breakfast and dinner (we are all vegetarians) and it helped a lot staying in our budgets. The tube station Earls Court (Distict and Picadilly Line) is 5 walking minutes away. There are a Tesco Superstore and a Sainsbury in close walking distance to the Hostel.
