This place is just perfect for the night. Shame about the noise from downstairs in the bar as music goes up quite loud after about 11pm. Also people using the hand dryer at 3am didn’t help.

Everything else was good. Clean rooms, pods, showers and toilet.

The reception staff was extremely disrespectful! I encountered bed bugs and my stay was canceled without any refund. St. Christopher's hostel has always been my first choice, and I have consistently recommended it to fellow travelers until this experience; I can't believe any hostel could fall to such a low standard.

The only complaint I have is that I checked in very late and so had to use the last available bunk. It was quite messy and dirty. If it was any worse than I found it I would've complained there and then (but I wasn't in the mood at 2 in the morning). It was mainly that there was rubbish and food waste. Luckily, there was a clean unused bedsheet I could put on top so my clothes didn't get dirty.

Stayed here before and it was fine. This time around, the in-dorm toilets for around 24 people were broke as was the air conditioning. When it's 20 plus degrees out and no air con in the room, the capsules are unbearable. The toilets that were available were dirty and the majority didn't even have toilet paper. I get it's a hostel but cmon. Additionally you don't even get a physical key card anymore, it's an app you're forced to download to even enter the rooms or hostel after a certain time. Won't be back.

First, let’s clarify the confusing names…

There are THREE St. Christopher’s Inns on the same stretch of road (Borough High Street) near London Bridge.

1. St. Christopher’s Inns - The Inn
2. St. Christopher’s Inns - The Village
3. St. Christopher’s Inn - The Oasis (female only)

I stayed at The Village.

Your experience will depend greatly on your room - I see many guests in the Pods complain about the noise from the bar downstairs. Luckily I had a 10 bed dorm room on a higher floor and there were no noise issues, apart from the outside traffic (as windows were open to cool the room).

Beds in my dorm had privacy curtains which was fantastic. Lockers under beds are noisy. The shared bathroom facilities were fine.

Breakfast was surprisingly good. Note that there’s no proper kitchen for cooking.

Staff were all super friendly which was a nice change for London - perhaps because they weren’t from London!

Although there’s a social room and an outside terrace, there isn’t much communal space apart from the bar. So if you need space to work, there really isn’t anywhere.

Considering this hostel is often priced competitively, if you get a good room I think it offers good value for money.

This property gets two stars from me,
1 because the location is fine and 2 because the staff was nice. This was the loudest hostel i’ve ever stayed at.
The bar beneath the rooms was playing music until 2/3am every night, with crowds making noise until close to 4am.
The hostel is close to transportation, however there were concerns about safety in this location. Often the front door was left often was after 10pm, meaning anyone from the street could get inside. I did not feel safe knowing that anyone could enter the hostel. Stay away from this place.

Hot Box!

The pod we slept in was recently installed.
It was comfortable and great for one night stop-over! My only criticism is that The fan/aircon in the pod needs to be stronger and more variable as we slept in it on one of the hottest nights this summer and it was like being microwaved!!! Get that right and it would be perfect for a cheap one nighter!

The locker/basket under the bed and the other person above me (very inconsiderate). Maybe if you placed it near the ladder for the top bunk, it might be better. On the opposite side of the bed. The up and down on the ladder and getting in her basket three times for the night was just too much.

First time staying at a hostel, I’ll be honest I wasn’t very satisfied. As a first time solo traveler out of the country I guess I expected it to look exactly like the pictures.

However, after meeting so many amazing people there who are experienced they showed me it was not bad, which I agree restrooms & showers were clean at all times! Comforters were very clean, a lot of things near by & the bar attached to them was amazing with a great vibe. I would definitely go back. My only complaint is the pillows, they were so flat. Anywho I hope this helps! Would I got back probably :)

Great value sleep pods

Always been a bit leery of hostels. Booked a capsule/pod here and it was great value for money. Clean and with good sound insulation, I got a good night’s sleep for a fraction of a hotel cost. Not even a hint of noise from the nightclub directly below.
This will be my new go to when I need a budget place to overnight in London.
My only tiny negative was that it was a little bit too warm for me in the pod, but not at all claustrophobic.

You don't get what you pay for, even at £40.

This place is cheap, but if you paid 3 times more for your night in London, you'd get 20 times as much in return. The place is like a maze and the doors are unlocked by an app on your phone. All I could think is that if there was a fire, we'd all have been deadas there's just no escape. The room was internal, 15 beds, 5 triple bunks, no window. There was something that looked like an air conditioner and it was making a noise, but it wasn't cooling anything. In fact, at about 3 am it actually started to heat up. It's honestly was so much like squid games that you might as well just imagine spending a night in the squid games dorm. It was boiling.

It was no less rowdy either. Power farting, pillow humping, bed shaking, drugs, alcohol, prisoners just out of jail with their clothes still in prison bags, homeless (fair enough I guess, but I've not seen it in other hostels in Europe). PS. Someone stole my clothes from my bed while I was asleep. Scary and annoying.

Security wasn't great. Anyone could walk in and out up to 10pm and could just wait by the door for someone to open it for them to walk through. The main door to the dorm broke and locked us in at one point. They propped it open with a screw. Didn't feel safe even leaving things in lockers.

Bathrooms were abysmal. There was one shower for well over 30 people.

The staff at the nice and fresh looking reception were nice, but the place was a hell hole. I've been in a prison building (as a visito

The staff were cooperative, so many attractions were convenient and close to the hostel, and everything overall was good. The hotel was clean and well-maintained. The only issue I encountered was that guests have to inform the staff for bed sheet changes and similar services, which could be improved. Other than that, everything was fine.

Impractical and uncomfortable pod beds

The pod beds are such a fun idea - I’ve seen them done so well elsewhere - but here they are so difficult to get in and out of, and the mattress/pad was so thin that sleeping on my side I was waking up every hour or two with a hip in pain.

The bar downstairs is really loud, which wasn’t a massive issue for me but some people will not be able to work with this at all, even with the free earplugs.

Friendly guests and staff though, and a decent energy around the place at breakfast.

A noisy stay in a private pod

I would happily return to this property.

A few things to know:
Access to the front door is controlled by an app you will need to download and that will be activated with a code reception will give you.

There are plenty of bathrooms but you either need to being your own towel or rent one at reception in the morning. No guarantee towels will be available. First come first served (I did secure one).

There are lockers available but you will need your padlock.

There was a party at the hostel when I visited. The noise was very high. I had to use the earplugs which they supply and noise cancelling headphones to sleep.

The private pod was long and wide enough for me. It was very comfortable. You also get sockets and USB to charge your phones next to you.

Access to the pod, if upstairs like mine was, is a bit dicy. The steps are small and quite far to the side so be careful getting to your pod and especially leaving it.

Breakfast is served downstairs. Quite a bit of choice.

A Disappointing Experience at the Hostel

I recently stayed at this hostel and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. To begin with, my initial room had no windows, which made the space feel claustrophobic and uncomfortable. I felt like I was in a dungeon rather than a place meant for relaxation.

After expressing my concerns, I was relocated to another room, but that did not improve my experience at all. The facilities were in poor condition, as both the toilets and showers were out of order. It was incredibly inconvenient and frustrating to deal with these issues, especially when cleanliness and functionality are basic expectations.

Additionally, I encountered a language barrier with the staff. While I appreciated that there were Spanish-speaking team members available, they were unfriendly and seemed overwhelmed. I had trouble getting assistance, specifically with unlocking the digital key in the app for my room. It felt as though they were unorganized and unable to properly manage the guests’ needs.

Overall, my stay was disappointing, and I would not recommend this hostel to others. With a lack of basic amenities and unfriendly staff, it did not provide the welcoming and enjoyable experience I was hoping for. Save yourself the hassle and look for a different place to stay.

I love it, but be aware

I stayed in the capsules a few times, and I have to say it’s good value for money, especially for the level of privacy you get when you’re essentially paying hostel prices. Here’s the thing - yes you can hear the nightclub below for a few hours into the night, but they do give you earplugs. Yes the bathrooms and toilets aren’t always perfectly clean, and the capsule itself could do with a deep clean, but the pillowcase and sheets are clean, and you just need to bring a little pair of flip-flops or similar for the showers. Also it’s good to bring a towel but you can rent one here. The staff are really friendly and helpful.
Be aware you can’t lock the capsule as there is only a curtain, but you can lock your personal items in a locker. I personally enjoy the cosy feeling of being in these capsules. Just be aware they are on 2 levels and if you get a top-bunk you need to climb up, so if you have any issues with that, let them know in advance of arriving. I’m sure they would accommodate you. I prefer the top bunks as the music from the nightclub below isn’t as loud on the top bunks. I genuinely enjoy staying here, it’s just best to be aware of the above so you can make a decision.

If you are wanting any sort of sleep, avoid this place. If you have a pod on the first floor like I did, you are directly above a bar/club which plays loud music till 2am. And this was a Monday night!! You can hear it so loud in the rooms, you might as well be in the bar. Combined that with constant drunk people coming in and out, falling over, talking loudly and dropping things plus then some kind soul banging on the door at 6am because they’d locked themselves out. Let’s just say, no sleep was had at all. Do yourself a favour, spend a bit more and go in a Travelodge.
