​"Our stay has been absolutely wonderful and we truly felt at home, or even better! ​What I would highlight the most is the incredible comfort of the accommodation and the tranquility that permeates the place, which allowed us to completely disconnect. ​But what truly made the difference was the exquisite treatment from the staff. They were attentive, kind, and always available. The excellence in service is notable. ​Without a doubt, this is the perfect place to recharge. We hope to return very soon and I recommend it 100%!"

Very fun place to stay, very nice people and everyone wants to get to know other people. I really enjoyed the social events. As my first ever solo trip I felt very safe and taken care of, and there is always someone in the group to meet or to walk together with.

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...
