    Quite lousy hostel. The rooms were clean but It felt like sleeping in a cell. No windows, no air that is fresh, and no natural light. Just walls and it was so hot and Stuffy. Music was too loud from downstairs. Good location though next to a beautiful park and train station. But the rooms are just unbearable to sleep in.

    hygiene is a serious problem in this hostel. My throat hurt the whole time i was inside but when i left and was outside for a while it would be totally fine. Under the beds was a bunch of dust that wasnt just there from 1 week of not cleaning it. Please close down the place for like a week and clean e v e r y t h i n g. The bar downstairs isnt a problem at all, my bed was next to the window and i didnt hear anything at all. The employees are really sweet and totally fit the vibe. With public transport its only 15-30 minutes to the centre, the greenwich station is literally next door. The Greenwich area is also quite nice and there is a lot to do! Its nice if you stay 1 or 2 nights like we did but please find a better hotel if you stay any longer

    You gonna stay more than a night make sure you can pay for a small box room with enough body oder window that kept close either side no ventilation system, enough noses that snotty an smelling feet in one small area of 12 people the space is the size of my slave master shoe's box. You can book if your looking to stuffed like a sandwich or tin of sardine. That's your place. I will be uploading pictures in a update as this my second night an am here for eight days and I already feel like am better in a sleeping 🎒under a bridge 🌉 in London where I can get fresh air and the smell of frost rather than feet and mens underwear.

    I thought this hostel was really nice, the check-in was fast and easy. The toilets were clean and the beds were comfortable. There was also a plug socket next to each bed. Greenwich is a lovely area and the prices were very reasonable. My only problem with the hostel was the sound-proofing. I felt like people were constantly moving around inside and outside the room and talking loudly in the corridors. The sound from the club and the trains was also very loud. I have stayed in multiple hostels and haven’t woken up so many times during the night. I understand that the hostel may not be able to do much to improve this but I just want to warn others that it is very loud and difficult to sleep. Otherwise, I really liked the hostel, it’s a bit of a shame.

    No duvet cover in my bed (how can this even be possible?) I had to wait until the next day to get one. Room with just two very small windows in the ceiling (beware if you are claustrophobic) and above all extremely noisy as it is right above the bar. You can hear the music and the huge vibrations of the sound until 2am. Not ideal for a good night's sleep. Bathrooms (especially showers) not clean enough. Toilets dirty and cold. But helpful staff (they gave me free earplugs and gave me another room the next day). Very accessible as is just next to the train station and a lovely neighbourhood. Cheap for london. St Christopher’s Inn Greenwich

    Deplorable service from bar staff/ acting manager (Not the sound guy with dreadlocks) whom it feels as though discriminates against hostel using customers. I was walked past numerous times in plain sight of this individual, hoping eye contact or simply peripheral vision was enough to garner some attention, only for a non-hostel user to be attended to immediately after approaching the bar. Pretty disgusted….

    So I arrived at midnight in London had to carry my bags around till 8am when the hostel opened. I asked could I leave my bags in and was told no but we can leave them downstairs in a corner of where everybody eats. We said no for obvious security reasons and carried them all the way around London for 6 hours. Came back at 2pm to see tonnes of other travellers were allowed leave their bags behind check out. After finally checking in I asked for towels to rent as it said on the website you could rent towels. I was told “we ran out of towels go to a shop and buy one” no apology or anything just brushed it off like it was normal. The rooms were nothing special but the toilets were disgusting. For the 2 days I was there, they had two toilets out of order filled to the brim with sewage and not a single toilet had toilet paper for the second day. The shower had good pressure and hot water so that was good but again the locks on the door of the first shower I went into was broken so it just swings open when I wanted to shower so I had to stand outside and wait for another one. On the second day at 7am I went outside to get some fresh air and long behold my card stopped working and I couldn’t get back in. I had to wait outside for an hour in pyjamas because my card didn’t work. Spoke to the staff and he said it was my fault cause it was against my debit cards it deactivated? If that is something that happens that often at least tell me in advance not to put it near my cards? The only thing I was pretty happy with was the Bar-woman on the second day she was from Scotland I think and she was super friendly but the actual hostel experience I was not impressed at all with.

    If you didn't book here yet, please don't. If you have already, please cancel. I had been here 5 years ago and the place changed quite a lot. This place is really nasty and I had to book a hotel elsewhere in order not to sleep a second night. Let me elaborate further. First: I've seen many hostels, some bad most of them decent, some excellent. I'm a 28yo guy not a rich 50yo used to 5 stars hotels. During the past 10 years I've seen a lot of stuff. But this beats them most. Its position is quite good and it's adjacent to a nice bar, however the whole place stinks a lot and is very small. The situation gets worse when you enter the dorm: room 6 had 4 3-storeys beds (12 people total) in a minuscule place (like 12 sqm) and the window DID NOT OPEN! One bed covered half the window so you can(not) imagine the smell...no space for shoes outside (hence people brought them in), the only good thing was the absence of bed bugs. Most of the lockers didn't work so we had to leave our possessions behind or use the 10£ per day lockers. The place is filthy and populated by weird people, probably drug addicts or alcoholics (sleeping on the floor of the common room with 3 beers next to them), I don't wanna be classist I just wanna sleep well and enjoy my stay so these people should go to a help centre not an hostel! Someone in our room was snorting so so so bad it was an issue impossible to deal with. Someone else had a call at 7am inside the room. It's not a direct responsibility of the hostel...indirect though if you cramp 12 people like animals in a 12m2 dorm of which some are very very weird. Heck call me classist or whatever but I bet you don't want to sleep in such conditions. Another guest left earlier like us as well. Other reviews say the same. I came here because I had a good time 5 years ago...times have changed. The only positive aspects besides the position: 1) the very kind person at the reception who understood our remarks listed above. I wish she didn't have to work in such a place. THANK YOU A LOT you kind soul. 2) the breakfast, quite good.

    Stayed here many years ago and it was all fine but now not sure what’s happened to this hostel. I don’t really tend to leave reviews before I leave especially if I’ve had negative experience. I booked a week stay but if I knew I wouldn’t have. The room allocated smells really bad, it seems people live here or stay long term and the hygiene of the rooms is not good in addition not clean. My bedsheets are clean but in the room other peoples belongings everywhere so unable to move around and quite small rooms. I also think people smoke inside the rooms. I’ve stayed in other Christopher Inn hostels in London and have been fine so I’m really surprised at this one and quite disappointed. I have also stayed in mixed rooms before but the room I stayed in the guys made feel uncomfortable. Also really loud snoring all around so you can’t sleep too good, I requested to change bed or room but was told the hostel was really fully booked. The staff at check-in was friendly and one other staff I spoke to. But there was one staff who was not too friendly. The toilets are usable but the shower rooms not really clean. I won’t be returning to this hostel.

    This place was great because of it's AMAZING location. I was traveling for a show at the O2 and getting there with public transport was very easy and quick. Being right next to Greenwich station allowed for very easy travel everywhere and with the Greenwich market and Royal Observatory at a short walking distance I would very much recommend it. The hostel guests also got good deals at the restaurant & bar right downstairs and they had lockers where you can store your stuff while you're out +++. The staff were friendly and as attentive as possible. However the place was not clean for a person who appreciates cleanliness very much, I felt very uncomfortable at all times. Luckily I had planned so much activities for myself that I basically just used the hostel as a resting/storage/charging place.

    If you’re looking for a clean, safe place to stay, this is not the place for you. At 1 AM, a random person keyed into our “private” room while we were sleeping. Did management do anything about this? No. It is an unsafe, dirty environment. If I could give it zero stars I would.

    It was the worst experience I have had in a hostel, first the receptionist was very rude to us and ignored what we were asking she was very apathetic and unkind, second and the most important when we stayed there was no electricity in our room, when she told her she called her supervisor who pretended not to know about that but in reality they had been like this for days and suggested we charge our phones in the common areas, which by the way was very uncomfortable because everyone was in that same situation and there were not enough connectors for all, a real nightmare they also did not want to return the 2 pounds we paid as a deposit I will not go back there definitely, I would prefer to pay more for a hostel where they offer a better service and there is electricity, another thing the supervisor mentioned to us that the next day they would fix the problem and well... That never happened and they didn't even apologize. I wouldn't recommend it this hostel to anyone! It's a shame because the breakfast is free and it's pretty good but everything else not to mention the noise in the evenings are quite a few points against it.

    1 star because the service was okay and the location is great! but other than that there is nothing good about this hostel! it's basically a VERY noisy bar with very stinky rooms without windows. the visitors at the hostel were not exactly great but the nightlife people coming to the bar are very loud and obnoxious! too bad the owners don't understand that this is a real problem ... they should discontinue the bar and just create a nice lounge there for guests of the hostel imo. also, the rooms should be completely remodelled to have windows so that sunlight and fresh air can get in there! let me know if your looking for a new manager that knows how to run a hostel ;)

  • 1/5 Taylor S. 1 year ago on Google
    Literally had to post this while currently staying here because it’s that bad. I’ve stayed at other St. Christopher hostels in Europe, none were this loud, dirty, and unaccommodating. I got into my “clean” bed and there was long black hair on the sheets. Must be zero insulation as you can hear the music in your room as if you were downstairs in the bar. The staff aren’t terrible but one of the male staff shouldn’t be working in hospitality. When checking in, he was rude, gave minimal direction to the storage lockers. I had asked him later how to use the laundry facilities, as it’s advertised they have laundry facilities on their FAQ page, he again was short and rude saying it’s only for staff - and rather than provide me with recommendations for self-laundry facilities or offer to help me find something, he literally just let me walk away. EDIT: I also came back to my towel missing, as the cleaning person took it. Apparently they were all out of towels and didn’t have another one to provide me, on two separate occasions. Long story short, don’t stay here, you’ll get a better night sleep and more hospitable staff somewhere else!

    Very standard and basic hostel. Quite noisy from the train and pub downstairs, but the showers are nice. Private room is worth the extra money as dorms are very small. Location is amazing and staff was friendly and helpful.

  • 3/5 Renan M. 1 year ago on Google
    The first day was the best. It got worst day after day... The free breakfast didn't exist from the second day on. The floor in the room is very, very loud. Everytime someone makes a step, it sounds like a car accident, really horrible at night. They didn't have clean towels to rent and offered us used ones! But it is right next to the train station and has a nice bar with parties until 2AM on weekends (nice to have fun, but not to sleep). 20 pounds a day, for this, was too much.

    I’m usually a pretty easy going person when it comes to hostels - I don’t expect much, I know it’s not exactly going to be luxury. But this hostel was so terrible that staying here even for one night was miserable. Bathrooms very unclean, I felt unsafe as a woman as you have to share bathroom and shower space with male staff and guests. Music until very late at night - I had to sleep with earphones on. They don’t have elevators so if you have a suitcase, good luck. I asked if someone could help me carry my suitcase upstairs and they just said no. Also, there isn’t someone at the check in/out counter 24/7 so that means if you need to leave early in the morning to catch a flight, there isn’t anyone there to help you in or give you your key deposit back. Safe to say I won’t be staying here again, it was one of the worst run businesses I’ve ever seen.

  • 1/5 Snowbound G. 1 year ago on Google
    Accommodation is basic, but the location is good and you expect this with the reasonable price paid. I am giving 1 star as I was not able to get any sleep during my stay due to the unbearable heat in the 9 bed dorm I was in. The window only slightly opens (as is security locked) and there is no air conditioning in the room (only one small fan that makes no difference to the temperature). Combine this with the heat from 9 people in a small room on a hot night, and the temperature (particularly in the top bunks given the heat rises) was higher than anything I’ve experienced before. The intense heat made it a deeply uncomfortable and unpleasant night’s sleep. Management must get air conditioning fitted, or allow the windows to be fully opened.

    my friends and i stayed at this hostel for 5 nights, upon arrival we noticed a really bad smell that permeated throughout the hostel and the rooms. you could tell the beds/rooms must of been moldy, we all got very sick. the moment we would leave the hostel we would instantly start feeling better. it was noisy from the bar downstairs and overall was not a good stay. would not recommend unless you are desperate and need to stay for a day or two max.

    A lovely hostel situated about a minute walk from the Greenwich train station. The hostel reception is in the Belushi's pub, which is a bit confusing. The mixed 8 🛌 room I slept in is exactly as in photos. The beds are sturdy and well built, no squeaking when moving at night. Covers were warm, bulky and heavy, like the ones from our grandma's times. There was a window, securely locked open throughout my stay and a fan that was on all the time, which was 👍. Booking directly through their web means you get to enjoy a small breakfast buffet in the pub every morning: cereals, bread, cheese, ham, tomatoes and cucumbers. As for socialising, there is a so called Chill Room with a TV down in the cellar area, which I thought odd at first. It did grow on me gradually, especially when sitting there alone in the mornings, chilling 😎. Showers are great, with a changing room area and nice benches to rest on. There are small things that need to be repaired, such as broken taps and hairdryers. And there was always a toilet paper shortage in the cubicles. The Spanish cleaner conveniently didn't understand any English when asked about it 😉. However overall it was great and yes, I'd book again.

  • 1/5 Adèle Q. 2 years ago on Google
    This is by far my worst experience at a hostel ever. That place is filthy, the toilets and showers are disgusting. Our room didn't have electricity so we couldn't charge any of our electronics. No towels were made available to us despite our multiple requests. The music is played very loudly until almost 2 in the morning making it impossible to sleep even with earplugs (on Saturday evening there were 8 people in the bar at midnight, they were annoying all their guests for only 8 people). Worse still, the bass levels are so high that the bed literally vibrates. The staff was unapologetic for all those major problems, we did not even get a sorry. Do not go there, they do not care at all about making it a pleasant experience.

    At first it was an enjoyable night I checked in at a reasonable time and managed to get a table for the football with a pint to watch it with. I received a piece of paper with my name on as the girl who checked me in said they were short on something but I couldn’t really understand what she was saying as she was that miserable. After the football had finished I tried to go upstairs to the bedrooms but noticed the doors were locked via key card so I asked the same girl who checked me in how I get upstairs to which she replied with the key card I gave you (she never) I explained she hadn’t but the attitude on the girl was horrible and and awful tone I then told her I definitely didn’t receive one then she kept saying you did you did ( attitude stinks) I then said we’ll check the cameras to see that you hadn’t to which she replied no I don’t have to and if you keep going I will kick you out, this is at 22:30 at night. The girl obviously has an attitude problem and I was literally thinking of bringing the other lads I work with over but I shall rethink and look for somewhere else I think.

    Smelled like feet and old crisps. Staff was nice, but think management can put more money for hygiene and less people in one bunk bed / in one room. Besides, the common space was dirty, did not have windows nor place to cook. Sorry!

    The people who serve are not friendly and the treatment is very bad. The rooms are very chaotic and do not smell good. I asked for breakfast and they tried to charge me twice. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone.

  • 3/5 Asta U. 2 years ago on Google
    A magical magical place, like mini Hogwards, but on the budget party night. When they offer yiu ear plugs for the night-take it, not just to be polite, but because YOU WILL NEED THEM. It does get quite loud. Room was clean. There's a cage storage under the bed, so bring your own lock and key, otherwise the downstairs lockers will be too far to get to, when needed urgent. There's a specious common/ chill room with board games and microwave, so if you have your own food or a take away-you have have it there. Staff was extremely kind and very polite. Breakfast.. it is very simple and could be improved. Overall room could have done with additional or any hooks and breakfast could have head a wider variety. P.s. is bread runs out - as staff for more, but yes, there's a limited amount of food, so wake up earlier. Or, head to local supermarket if wake up later (it's like 5mins away).

    It could be a nice place. Not expensive to enjoy your stay in London. The place is decent. The BEHAVIOR of people who welcomed me & checked me in was disgusting & incomprehensible: ignoring people, turning their back when you come in, when you go to them for a question they act like they don't want to talk.. People from the bar are cheap. I've found another place to stay!

    St. Christopher's Inn Greenwich offers more than just a place to rest; it's a vibrant and social hub for travelers. The hostel combines affordability with a lively atmosphere, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious adventurers. What stands out is the sense of community fostered by the hostel. The common areas are buzzing with energy, providing opportunities to meet fellow travelers from around the globe. The attached Belushi's Bar adds to the social vibe, offering a great place to unwind and make new friends. The location is another highlight. Situated in the heart of Greenwich, it puts you within walking distance of iconic landmarks like the Cutty Sark and the Royal Observatory. While the rooms are basic, they are clean and comfortable, meeting the expectations of budget travelers. The hostel's blend of affordability, social ambiance, and prime location makes it a top pick for those looking to explore London without breaking the bank.

    Wir waren im Dezember für 4 Nächte in dem Hostel. Die erste Nacht verbrachten wir in einem 12-Bett Zimmer. Das Zimmer war relativ klein, aber die Betten waren relativ bequem und hatten Privacy Curtains. Es war in dem Raum nicht sauber (überall waren Staubschichten in den Ecken, Flecken an der Wand, Löcher in der Wand). Es gab aber ein Fenster. In den nächsten Nächten waren wir in einem 6-Bett Zimmer untergebracht. Dieses verfügte weder über ein Fenster, noch einen vom Zimmer aus nutzbaren Ventilator. Es war in dem Raum stickig, warm und auch feucht. Der Boden klebte und an den Wänden waren Flecken, die nach Schimmel aussahen. Schlafen war am Wochenende auch schwierig, da das Hostel auch eine Bar ist und am Wochenende ein Live DJ bis 2 Uhr nachts auflegt und man zumindest den Bass immer sehr laut in den Zimmern hört. Es gibt an der Rezeption allerdings gratis Ohrstöpsel, die ganz gut geholfen haben. Die Bäder (es sind sehr wenige), sind ebenfalls relativ dreckig gewesen, die Duschen waren allerdings sauber und ganz angenehm. Die Bar unten war außerdem sehr schön, es gibt gutes Essen und dort ist immer was los. Das Personal war super freundlich und hat uns bei allen Problemen versucht zu helfen. Insgesamt würde ich dort nicht mehr hinfahren, aber wenn es nur zum Schlafen ist, ist es schon okay, solange man nicht zu genau in die Ecken guckt.

    All in all I wouldn’t recommend this hostel. Dodgy, moist smell, bad air, very uncomfortable people staying there (male, 50+ grunting and coughing all night). Have to give 2 stars for the friendly staff and relatively comfortable showers though.

  • 5/5 Dana E. 4 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The bar/hostel has a really great vibe and the staff were fantastic, so helpful and polite. You get discounts on food and bevies which is really good value. On Friday and Saturday nights they have welcome drinks which is great cause it gives u the chance to mingle with other guests and meet new people. They have some form of entertainment most nights which I loved. Totally recommend this hostel for travellers as it is affordable and it is a great location, not far from central London. Greenwich is a beautiful area with lots of things to do and see. I will definitely be back :)

  • 5/5 James R. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to stay! Very clean with extremely reasonable prices. The staff are amazingly friendly, special note to Shannon, absolutely amazing service from her, very professional, helpful and friendly. Couldn’t recommend this place enough! Something to keep in mind - the place can be a little quiet from time to time in January. Not necessarily a bad thing unless you are looking to meet lots of people.

  • 1/5 João Paulo B. 4 months ago on Google
    One of the worst experiences that I ever had in a hostel. This place can’t use the name St Chirstopher’s as they have a lot of great hostel around Europe. Noisy, dirty, old, poor, far away from London and quality of staff as they work in the bar and reception at the same time.

  • 3/5 Matt W. 4 months ago on Google
    Ok bar near the station, no food at this visit, despite asking and being told'the kitchen is open'until 9pm, at 8pm unable to take order as cook had left!. Beer ok, no comment on food, ambience football match on tv.

  • 5/5 Callum D. 4 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed my stay here. The hostel meal deal is great if you're on a budget and the shower facilities are some of the best I've seen in hostels. A little loud on the weekends but there's free ear plugs if you need them, and pretty decent drink deals for hostel guest if you just want to join in. The staff were always happy to help as well

    Great party hostel. Not sure why everyone is complaining about it being noisy As it does state It is a party hostel and sports bar in the description.. anyway; #snowflakes ☺️. Great and friendly staff and management team (I was helped with everything and anything that was needed), vegan food options, showers have just been redone, chillout room has just been renovated. 11/10 Would recommend ☺️

    My sister and I stayed here for quite some time and really enjoyed our stay! Actually, we sometimes miss staying at the hostel because of how social and fun it was- just a cool experience! The vibe is relaxed and friendly (the staff is very helpful and relaxed) and we really enjoyed being able to hang out in the bar or chill room when we felt like socializing a bit! :) And the kareoke nights and Friday nights are fun!! Also, a huge plus for the prices, and as guests we got discounts on food which was a pleasant surprise! Would really recommend.

    A very nice hostel, staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and bed was comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. Breakfast for extra €4. Ham, cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, toast tea, coffee, cereal and fruit. I'd recommend it.

  • 2/5 Grace C. 2 years ago on Google
    Good location and nice staff. Only two bathrooms and they were almost always dirty (pee on the floor). Showers were okay for the most part (only 2) for all rooms. Rooms were hot but also cold and damp. However, hostel was close to the train station and bus stops as well as the O2 Arena.

  • 5/5 Ravi D. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely hostel located in beautiful and picturesque Greenwich. Rooms are very clean and open with comfortable beds. Good menu deals in Belushis like 25% of menu and £1 shots. Customer service is very friendly and attentive, lovely staff

    Great little hostel just next to Greenwich train station and the buses I needed to get to London Sculpture Workshop in Woolwich. Staff helpful with bus info. Free continental breakfast if you book direct., £400 if not Fridays and Saturdays music until late - I couldn't join in because on a course, but sounded great, take earplugs if you can't sleep through reggae++ until 1.30 am.

  • 4/5 Chris 1 year ago on Google
    The hostel part wasn't to bad. My room didn't have that much of a sound problem. 3 beds high is alittle much. Showers were good, bathrooms were cleaned every day. The bar part got me food positioning didn't go back there except for the free breakfast which was bread and cereal and a not so good coffee maker. Other then that it was a good stay.

  • 5/5 Delia B. 10 months ago on Google
    I had an amazing time staying at the Greenwich location of St. Christopher’s! The showers and rooms were very clean, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Delicious cocktails and food as well. Special thanks to the staff paul, john, martyna, laura, michi, liam, sabrina, rosi, and harvey! Hope to be back soon.

  • 2/5 Sushil R. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst experience for me. Pros - Good location. Cons- 1) I stayed for two days but no toilet paper inside the bathroom. 2) Shower area was too hairy not at all clean. 3) break fast was included but few items were outdated. Example bread almost more than one month. Bread slices was green that was horrible. 4) They gave you 25% food discount. But when I made the bill he said you haven't ask for that. Seriously CHEATING.

    I’ve lived in London for six months and this is the BEST HOSTEL of the city. People from staff are perfect, clean rooms and perfect food. Dan and David are two gentlemen’s of the reception and they are prepared to give you and excelent experience. You won’t regret. Thanks so much guys.

    My passport has been stolen be careful with your belongings. Room i was given extremely hot with windows unable to open. Smelly dodgy (of course if 12 people in room and no windows) cluttered with personal belongings everywhere, so worst st christopher, but on reception they were helpful.

    Amazing staff, great amenities, cannot fault at all. The best hostel in London I've have stayed in! Great atmosphere, quiet rooms with luggage storage, not to mention the lovely continental breakfast. I've stayed in almost all of the St.Christophers as a hybrid working professional and I have never felt more at home, than when I am im this particular hostel. If I could give 6 stars, I would.

    Good location and cheap! However the breakfast choices were limited and didn't feel very sanitary - can't complain as it was included with my booking but definitely wouldn't have paid. Also the beds were super cramped, no space to sit up whatsoever in the creaky triple-bunks.

    You get what you pay for. The bathrooms are not that clean, showers are ok. Staff have average customer service (could be more welcoming). They could do way better with their overall look. Bar is nice though.

    Stayed in the hostel for one night. Was a bit hesitant after seeing the newest reviews to stay here. However the hostel was alright. Beds were clean, staff was friendly, no noise from the bar (it was Wednesday though). Overall a good experience.

    This hostel is above a bar that plays loud music till very late. It would shake the walls all night and was hard to sleep. There was only 2 toilets for a whole floor and the bathrooms were dirty and often didn’t have soap. The rooms don’t have windows or ac so the room was hot and smelly. Staff was fine nothing great or out of the ordinary. This hostel is far from a lot of londons attractions. 45 mins of public transport. Not worth the money. Would be better to spend more for a better hostel location or an air BNB ( 2 females in our 20s)

    Good morning (already) , Sleeping there 11-13/9/2022 (September, Sunday- Tuesday) I was threatened by hurting myself in the middle of second (2.) night of my stay here. My bed was regularly shaking every 3 (three) minutes, nobody in the room was sleeping all the night , because of the Person staying there for one (1) night. In fact I was threatened about hurting me by this person. I understand, He had a physical health problems , hopefully - not mental health problems. When asked for reimbursement from the hostel for my second (2.) unpleasant night here , I was refused of this action. Thank You so much in advance. Best regards

    I would had of put service for more if there was more stars available. I was checked in by a lovely lady Ellen, she was really efficient, and really a sweet lady, who was forthright and really helpful to these four guys in front of me. She checked me in quickly, and I went upstairs to my bed. I chose a female dorm. The sheets were clean and mattress firm and was nice to sleep in, no problems. I woke up, the showers are huge, nice and clean inside. Had the toilets and basins by the showers as well as in the toilets. The staff were very helpful if you needed anything, very attentive. I also liked the fact that the hostel is next to Greenwich Station, Sainsburys is just a few minutes down the road if you need anything. The breakfast when I went downstairs, was immaculately being prepared by a gentleman, Mitch. I mean it was delicious, it was really nicely presented. There was fruit I mean watermelon, melon, other fruits. There was cheese and meat and tomatoes and boiled eggs, tea, coffee, cereals and condiments. There was almond milk and normal milk, juice. You could make cheese toasties and do toast. It was delicious...

    the best Hostel I've ever stayed in! Super clean and fragrant bathrooms and showers! impeccable cleanliness. Beds so good and excellent breakfast and very good service. Look for Felipe! He undoubtedly makes that place even more comfortable. Polite and super attentive! congratulations 👏🏻

    Stay was fine for 1 night, could have been a bit cleaner. The staff doesn’t seem to want to be there or help, and they may be a bit racist. Had a couple of weird instances, but the worst was the morning of check-out. I requested late check-out, was told it was for 12PM, and at 11:19 housekeeping came in and woke me up to tell me I needed to leave. I told them I had late check out, they shrugged and said I had to go. Since I only had another half hour, I started getting dressed and collecting my things. I brushed my teeth and came back and one of the staff came upstairs and asked if I was checking out. I said “yes…” and she left. Finished getting dressed, and she came back 5 minutes later as I was rolling my bag out. “Sorry but you can’t stay in here.” I told her I was already leaving and asked her what time check-out is. “11:30ish, or 12.” I looked at my watch and said “It just turned 11:31.” She shrugged. So check-out is before 11:30 for me apparently, with a security escort, but 12 for anyone else? This is a good budget stay, but you can tell they haven’t taken the time to hire well-trained or competent staff. The Novotel is across the street, where I had dinner and coffee, and was absolutely lovely. That’s definitely my choice for the next time I’m in Greenwich.

    Room (0/5): The room was scorching hot, humid and stank like sweat/decay. There was a fan that probably generated more heat and noise than it actually cooled down the room. It was impossible to sleep as there was a party downstairs until 2 or 3 AM. Earplugs would NOT have helped as the bass was too intense. The chill-out room looked worn down and was not inviting. Showers / Bathrooms (1/5): The showers appeared to be clean (have not used them) but the bathrooms were partially covered with feces and had a strong pee smell. Location (5/5): The location was okay and you can get to London Bridge within about 20 minutes. General impression (2/5): I can not recommend this place after having experienced such a horrible night. It was impossible to fall asleep under these conditions. Reading answers to the reviews stating that they strive for the best conditions possible and having high standards appears to be a lie to me after seeing the condition of this hostel. Of course it is one thing to get to know people while partying - but does it have to be at the extent of everyones sleeping quality? Sorry that I didn't check-out by the way, but I fled at 5 AM - the reception was locked (I was wondering why it was locked anyway? What happens in an emergency, I only got out because someone from the laundry opened the back door) and no one was there - waiting for longer was not worth the 2€.

    Don't stay here ever. The new general manager is homophobic and racist. Customers are not important here any more. It has become full of drug addicts and smells of weed everywhere. I did not sleep properly for even 1 night. My bed was given to someone else on my last night and the system was changed to reflect that. I was a loyal St Christopher's customer for many years but I will never stay at any of their hostels anywhere ever again. There was also mould on some of the walls in the rooms and bed bugs on the beds.
