Room on Borough High Street was very noisy, because the windows are not insulated (which is, by the way, strange from a planet conscious hostel). Fortunately, I had earplugs (and the reception offers them free of charge). Very good cost/quality ratio.

I couldn't hear a thing in my first floor dorm. The staff was really friendly and your key card gets you a ten percent discount not only at the bar in the hostel but also at the other St. Christopher's on the street (the pub at the Inn and the cafe at the Orient Espresso) so that was a nice bonus.close

Great group of people staying here, lots of fun in the chill out room & bar at night. Great location, beside London Bridge. Unfortunately no kitchen & the cleaning ladies are rather unpleasant. Rest of staff are great. Make sure to lock up your valuables.

the sanitary close the the rooms were clean but the toilets downstairs next to the bar were a bit dirty. The beds were very good but the window in our room couldnt open easily and if you sleep with 10people in a dorm the ventilation should be better. But overall a nice hostel

Overall was bloody great. The cleaners do lack some serious manners and need to be back handed or something. Being from another culture is one thing I'm not ignorant to, but some of their rudeness was terrible. Other than that "GREAT TIMES"

Nice hostel that had plenty of social facilities - lounge area and ajoining bar. Was impressed that I didn't have to bother fitting the sheets as fresh ones were already made up in the bed - nice touch for a hostel!

I would never stay in a room of 14 again or at a St Christopher hostel.close

The Bar is great. It is cheap and you get a reduction of 10%.If you like to stay in bed till 9 o'clock you have to take a cold shower.

If you stay and you are looking for a quite place, not party central, stay in one of the other sections (The Inn or Orient Expresso) but if you are looking for an all night party atmosphere I definitely suggest the main building. I really enjoyed my time there... people were nice and everything...

It was a party hostel. Noisy parties downstairs, singing, heat and mixed dorm copulating at night might disturb your sleep. Vomit on the floor can be slippery in the morning. However, it was a nice and clean place.

The hostel is fine. No vibe at all, just purely a place to sleep. By no means is it a party hostel. The directions on hostel world they give are ridiculous, it simply says, take train directly to the hostel. Bathrooms are extremely small. It was clean though, fine hostel but nothing special.
