St Christopher's Inn, The Lounge Room

Let me start off by saying that even though I have barely any experience staying at hostels, I have travelled quite a bit in my life and in all my years, I’ve never really had an experience quite like this small but cozy inn right here. I first stayed at the other St Christopher hostel right beside this one on the same street and even though it’s bigger and it accommodates more people, I cannot stress enough that the difference in quality between the two is simply too big in favor of the smaller inn. First of all, it’s MUCH MUCH cleaner. The other hostel had cockroaches coming out of the faucets and bathrooms whereas in the inn it was actually amazing showering there and taking my time in the bathroom. There is a very kind and amazing person there called Kinciks but everyone calls her “Mami”. She literally is a goddess when it comes to keeping there place in check and the cleanliness is spot on. Second, the service and staff were excellent as they were very attentive to my needs and fixed a minor error in my booking with no inconvenience. Third, the community that forms in this inn/bar/pub is one of the most caring, wholesome group of people I’ve ever met. It was great to share experiences with people all over the world. Shoutouts to Dani, Javier and Emma Lastly, the bar and their staff was amazing. They give you discounts on beers and drinks just for staying there. I had a great time with Sana, she is an amazing bartender and such a lovely person. If you’re planning to stay at any hostel, one that’s affordable, clean and trusting, you won’t go wrong with this one. I actually miss the people that I met there and hopefully when I come back they’ll still be there. Oh and it’s built on an actual historic place built in the 1600’s which is amazing how well conserved it is. I am very lucky to have found this place. -with Love, always. Eduardo from Puerto Rico!

I am incredibly grateful for the kindness and generosity shown by Ella when we found ourselves without a place to stay. We had been struggling to find accommodation, and at the last moment, Ella graciously offered us a room in St. Christopher's Inn London....From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed.....The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. It was clear that Ella takes great care in providing a comfortable space for guests. Beyond the physical comfort, the warm hospitality and willingness to help us out in a stressful situation truly made all the difference. Ella went above and beyond, offering helpful local tips and ensuring we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay.

I stayed at the St Christopher’s hostel in Hammersmith. I paid £22 a night to stay in an 8 bedded female only dorm and £5 extra to have the breakfast in the morning. The dorm itself was fairly clean and tidy. There were lockers under the bed to put your stuff in (although one of the lockers was missing under my bed). I got the top bunk, it was comfy enough. The bunk light didn’t work unfortunately so had to use my phone light. The mattress depressed in the middle a bit but was comfy enough. The room had an ensuite with a toilet, sink, and shower. The shower had really good water pressure. They charge £5 for a towel so bring your own. There was also a seperate shower and toilet outside the room if the one inside the room was busy. There was a group of 18 year olds staying that were incredibly noisy in the rooms around my room. I always make sure to bring an eye mask and ear plugs. Over all, it was a good location and pretty tidy. Wouldn’t recommend the breakfast though as they started packing it up before 10am so would often miss out on half of the food/drinks.
