I stayed at the hostel for a week and everything went well. I stayed in a room with 16 beds, not all of them were occupied every day, I was on the top floor of the bunk bed, so the fan didn't reach there, I was hot most days. The bathrooms were very good and always clean and smelled good, the water was hot. The bed was comfortable, there was an outlet and a light in each bed. On the last few days I stayed in the capsule room, I thought the doors to the capsule bed would be firm and have locks, but they were just curtains like the normal beds, which disappointed me a little, but the beds were comfortable and very spacious. Even though the capsule bed was on the first floor it wasn't noisy. The breakfast is well served, it's worth paying a day to try it out. It was a good experience, the location is very good, good value for money.

This hostel was great what I needed for the night. It was clean (could smell the cleaning products still) and the reception and check in was easy and welcoming. Rooms were a good size but no curtains which I would prefer. Also due to the bar outside, it was very loud for most of the night as the windows didn’t shut very well. Otherwise I was happy with my stay.

I've stayed at London Bridge St. Christopher's a handful of times, the most recent in April 2024, and I have no doubt I'll visit again before the year is out.||For the price you pay, you get what you'd expect. …

There is a nightclub downstairs and it is difficult to sleep. There are almost never any clean towels. I paid £5 for my towel and someone stole it. I went down to reception and told them about it. …

I booked a pod.I was mostly satisfied with it, but a few things took it down a notch.Upper level pods are accessed by a "ladder." You may struggle to get to the pod or leave it if you are not very flexible.Towels are not supplied by default. You can rent one in the morning but it's first come, first served. You can buy toiletries from the hotel as well.Please note the hotel uses the app GOKI to open doors. You may want to download it before you get there. You can get your confirmation number you need to use the app at reception. In my case, the app lost access after breakfast and I had to get reception to reactivate it to return to the room.The room was extremely noisy due to a party downstairs. I managed to sleep using the earplugs the hotel supplied and my noise cancelling headphones on top.The pod was very comfortable. It was roomy enough. It was not claustrophobic. You get sockets including USB, a nice lighting system.There are lockers in the room but you will need a padlock to use them.I was happy with my stay and will consider coming back.

I had a great time, this is a great place to stay! As it will be needed again, this place will definitely be my first choice in the city! I highly recommend it. Very clean, lots of shops around and above all great staff. …

It’s a decent hostel near many touristy spots und a underground station. The rooms are clean and the staff is were friendly. The breakfast could be better but for the price okay. The common bathroom could be cleaned more often and the common room is always very crowded and to tiny for big groups.

I've been going through the reviews to see why some people have been giving it a bad review.Cleanliness: maybe my expectations are lower than others, but I thought not only my room, but also the bathroom was clean. Maybe it's easier when it's a 6-bed room?Also good luck finding a clean hotel room at this price point lolNoise: if other people in the room are noisy, it's not on the hostel ppl...Breakfast: meh, unless you just want cereal or toast, you can skip it.Staff: some of them were very nice (can't comment on the whole team)Lounge: it was confusing at first to find the route there (especially since it's on the third floor). It gets a bit stuff there since it's next to the laundry room, BUT the terrace is very nice with a view on the Shard.Pro tip: don't forget to show your GOKI at Belushi's to get a discount on the drinks there 👌

Never usually leave reviews, however as a young solo female traveller I did not feel safe here. I am currently awake (5am) as a man in maybe his 40’s/50’s has been up since 3:30 sitting in his bed staring at the walls, getting up 10 minutes later and (praying?) I’m unsure what he’s doing - going from bed to the floor space. It makes you wonder if they care for the guests safety or considerations of comfort as it seems they let any weirdo in and they wander around at all times of the night. No curtains on the beds. Two toilet/showers between however many rooms. No social events for solo travellers like other St Christopher’s have had or a common area for people ONLY staying in the hostel. A live band downstairs in the pub which is nice but again, open to the public, so not mindful of people travelling on their own looking to make friends. The only good thing about this place is the location.

I recently stayed at this budget-friendly hotel and was pleasantly surprised by the excellent facilities. Despite being affordable, the hotel offered everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, it's a great option if you're looking for good value without compromising on quality.
