Very good stay in the establishment. Directions and access information are precise. Wifi very good. Everything you need is available. Large towels and slippers, small bottles of shampoo and shower gel. The heating works very well and so does the hot water. The kitchen is functional, with crockery and cooking utensils. The location is really great, close to the Swiss Cottage subway station, on the Jubilee line which serves all the main points in London. There's also a bus stop nearby. A Tesco supermarket and grocery stores and cafés next door. Very quiet residential area We enjoyed the quiet, slept well, sometimes we had the apartment to ourselves as there were no other occupants so it was nice. The cleaning lady comes every day to clean the apartment and the shared rooms only. The host is friendly and can be contacted by message. The truth to be honest it's very good value for money in london!!!

It's a really great place. Highly recommend! Perfect location (tube, stores, parks, restaurants all around and very close). Very kind and welcoming staff. Tasty meals (both breakfast and dinner). Green and cozy backyard. Warm and well organized room: it had everything we needed. You just should remember, that it's not the 3* or 4*star hotel, originally it is a dormitory for students. And the type of room doesn't refer to standard "hotel expectations". But if you look at the photos and read reviews carefully there will be no surprise.

I stayed there with my partner, for what it offers the prices are crazy good, it's such a comfortable place, we didn't use the breakfast option but for the next time I will make sure of it. It was silent at night and the stuff very helpful, surely will come back again when we travel to London next time! :D

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.

Lovely staff who care. Nice location. Some large rooms which are convenient for a dormitory. Bunk beds that do not move too much. Good quality of food. Well cleaned and maintened and requests responded promptly and efficiently. Moreover, educated and interesting guests in general which is vital for a hostel adventure. I recommend it...
