About St Christopher's Inn
Simple dorms & private rooms in a laid-back hostel offering a cosy pub with regular live music.
A pub with two handpumps and food sourced from the nearby Borough Market. A Victorian exterior with tiled side alley, which though hardly sunlit, can be used for outside drinking. Inside, the drinking area is narrow but some 80 feet long, with the bar having an amazing 60 feet of frontage. That said there is live music here every night of the week apart from Sunday & Monday. The quiet basement meeting room has a table-top war games club meeting every Tuesday.

Very, very little sleep due to unbelievably loud noise/music from the street all night til 2am on a Tuesday due to the bar downstairs and thin walls / windows. £3 to leave your luggage (aka carry it downstairs, then have to carry it upstairs again, through the bar and up several narrow flights of stairs to the rooms) - heard the receptionist say “you have to pay to leave luggage after checkout because you’re no longer checked in with the hostel” however we had to pay when we arrived to check in, as it was earlier than 3pm as well. So basically, they’re trying to grab money from you at every…

Ok. Hostel. Very limited bathrooms. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean. It's a safe place to stay. I didn't even use my locker. Met some great friends and had a blast at the bar downstairs. It can get rowdy but I loved the vibe. Thanks everyone

If you're a traveler hoping to get some sleep, do not go here. There is zero sound proofing and you can hear everything from the bar beneath. The bathrooms are also not clean, and it's hard to find your way around the building. Not accessible. You also need to download some stupid app to access your room and the building. The wifi connection is also awful if you're not actually in the bar. Staff is nice and food is decent, so that's good, I guess. Editing to add: The wifi truly is awful. The room was about 3 stories up and I could not get a connection, at all. Also, we found a cockroach…

Today, I visited this place with my boyfriend, and we were absolutely disappointed. First of all, the staff wasn't great. They didn't know the menu, making us feel awkward and confused when trying to order our food. It was clear that they were unprepared and poorly trained. Second, we had to wait an astounding 40 minutes for a BLT sandwich and a crispy chicken, despite the fact that the place wasn't busy at all. The delay was unacceptable and left us frustrated and hungry. When our food finally arrived, the fries were absolutely disgusting. It was obvious that they had been cooked multiple…

I cannot recommend this place, and I don't understand how this place even has good reviews to be honest. **Pros:** - Ok locatiin - Comfortable beds **Cons:** - Only two toilets and showers per floor, which often meant having to search for a place to go. - Noise from the bar is unbearable at night. - Extra charges for everything, including luggage storage (which hostel charges for that?). - Unfriendly staff (someone in our room requested a bottom bunk due to knee issues, but their request was denied).
