  • Overall: Rating of 3.8 out of 5

    "I was there while they were completely reconstructing the bar, so that\'s probably why the rooms were a bit unclean -but just the floor- I had a great stay here and would come back again, especially for the excellent location." source Hostelworld

    "Pretty run down, wouldn't stay there again, disapointing too because heard good things about st christopher hostels but if this was a representation of all the hostels I doubt if I'll stay at the others." source Hostelworld

    "Regent's Park and London zoo only a short walk, the underground just around the corner and the bar and rooms in excellent condition, I would certainly recommend this place to everyone." source Hostelworld

    "Overall, this was the perfect place to lay my head down in between action packed days in London." source Hostelworld

    "Overall I just did not like the vibe of the hostel though I met some really cool people." source Hostelworld

  • Clean: Rating of 3.4 out of 5

    "I stayed here for a week didn't like having cold shawer as there is no hot water, place is durty as they clean once a week only, staff were not helpful they have a bar downstairs and more interested in running a bar than a hostel." source Hostelworld

    "As far as I know my bed was clean but I witnessed 1 girl going from my room and another coming in WITHOUT the beds being changed inbetween which is awful so who knows how often they change any of the beds." source Hostelworld

    "He was very kind to a weary traveller, and even gave me clean sheets for the common room, not to mention taking the time for all this when he had to be back at work in 4 hours." source Hostelworld

    "the room door did not lock and the janitor kicked us out of the room for "depp cleaning"on a monday, but besides that the rooms were decent and we loved the neighborhood." source Hostelworld

    "i've stayed at this hostel before; it's perfect for theatre visits, which are expensive, so a cheap, clean, cheerful environment is perfect." source Hostelworld

  • Service: Rating of 3.9 out of 5

    "disappointed with the food service as we were tight on time on the last day, waited over an hour for food and had to cancel order in the end." source Hostelworld

    "friendly staff, lock stuff away there, need earplugs for very loud 1st floor room, perfect location for camden." source Hostelworld

    "Excellent place to stay, very clean room, helpful staff, good wi-fi connection." source Hostelworld

    "Good place to stay, cheap and cheerful, friendly staff and I didn't feel insecure." source Hostelworld

    "Very friendly staff and very clean." source Hostelworld

  • Location: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "Also, bar is located right downstairs: convenient, but potential problem if you're looking for a good night's sleep, especially on Friday nights when bands play." source Hostelworld

    "Christopher's location in London. If you want authentic London, an easy to get to location, and to have a great time, stay here." source Hostelworld

    "everything was fine, especially the staff, the room, location, the people, we met and the belushi's bar where often great bands played." source Hostelworld

    "The location was excellent, really close to 2 tube stops, camden market and less than a minutes walk to Koko-perfect." source Hostelworld

    "The strongest point is its location, staff is also really helpful and fun, breakfast is ok but it can be improved." source Hostelworld

  • Value

    "On the other hand, the staff were kind and cool, the bar below isn\'t half bad if you are looking to party (but not if you have an early flight, ahem), and the bathroom/shower in each room is a nice deal." source Hostelworld

    "I love that you have a (very reasonably priced) pub right there." source Hostelworld

    "They were reasonable accomadations for the price." source Hostelworld

    "Value for money - I�ll be back." source Hostelworld

    "Excellent value for money." source Hostelworld

More information on St Christopher's Camden

Camden has long been a haven for London's artistic souls, a mass congregation of writers, musicians and visual artists; this is where you will find some of the most colourful people the city has to offer with their pink dreads and day-glow t-shirts. There are more tattoo and piercing studios than anywhere else in the city, a live venue to satisfy every musical palate, a multi-cultural smorgasbord of cuisine and more than enough pubs, clubs, and bars to keep you perpetually entertained. In the centre of all this action you'll find St. Christopher's Camden hostel. During the daylight hours Camden Market is the place to get lost while finding just about anything from anywhere. Comprised of six sprawling markets dotting the high street, Camden Markets will reveal a plethora of fashion, arts, crafts, furniture, international food and drink, antiques, jewellery, music and souvenirs. So many treasures, you'll definitely want to take a full day to explore it all. Any musical connoisseur will appreciate Camden's roots in rock history with from the infamous Roundhouse where Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and Cream all wow-ed crowds; to the modern day Camden Palace (it is called KOKO's now) and the birth of Britpop. Blur and Oasis were both living and playing around Camden when they raced each other to the top of the charts in the early 90's. But the musical appeal extends beyond rock to classical, folk, jazz, trance, house, punk or goth. Situated conveniently between Camden Town and Mornington Crescent tube stations, city central St. Christopher's is within minutes of all the must see tourist attractions. Not sure where to start, our fun-loving staff will be brimming with ideas on how to make the most of your London adventure. And when you've had enough of the big city rush make yourself at home in our relaxed chill out room, fully equipped with TV, internet couches and cushions.The 'Guide De Routarde' voted us as '� first choice for London.'
