The property was located in a very beautiful and quiet neighbourhood with accessible public transportation considering many bus stops and underground stations being within a 5-10 minute walk from the apartment. The apartment itself was very clean with an exceptionally beautiful backyard and a fully equipped kitchen. I would definitely choose it again myself and recommend it if you’re looking for an affordable and cozy place to stay in the London area.

It is clean and cosy, not so far from the Liverpool Station. I like this place because it is easily accessible & safe. The reception is 0-24, the hostel colleagues are very helpful and you also have everything you need (kitchen, nice and tidy hostel rooms).

Everything was great for the price. Staff were amazing and hospitable, particularly Aitor and the cute Romanian guy - I never got his name! Every other night they host optional get togethers with staff and guests if you want to get social and make friends - I had a good time. The location is right behind the museum, and close to other great places in London.

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...
