St Christopher's Inn, Shepherd's Bush - Hostel

I like the property good place near shops transport.

behavior

It was a humbling experience to stay here I must say,I usually stay across the green in The Hoxton Hotel how a place like this is on Hotels.com baffles me. To the bar/reception staff do one task at a time and you will get things done quicker and when customers tell you there is no toilet paper dont put it to the the end of your tasks list, customer care 101. To the local chav in my sweat box room I think is the only word you might understand I would sincerely rethink your life choices you took my bed and tried to get in a fight with me and called me a pusio lol i had to google that one urban dictionary said its a word used by English see you next Tuesdays. Young man you can keep going on the path you are on and trust me people dont fear you they pity you and if you do trust me no one will ever remember you. You are staying in a hostel in your home town surely you must ask yourself questions how am I on this path.I suggest do a college course and stop looking for attention which you will never get, management should never let you in the premises again you are a liability clean up your life you still have time.I saw police came here before on reviews id say you werent far away. On another point the young man from Brazil well done you took pride in your daily activities and do a good job keep on that path and you will only move forward.The whole experience makes me thankful for what I have but yeah I wont be using hostels again.I had a credit so i paid next to nothing to stay:)

Great location- very easy to get to and close to the station. However, the stay was difficult. I stayed there for 6 nights in total. The first 3 nights I was in a room which was incredibly hot (and I'm always cold) because the radiator was stuck on full heat constantly. The radiator was also inside my bottom bunk so it was dangerous to sleep in as I had to really avoid trying to touch the intensely hot radiator in order to not burn myself. I told two different staff members about this- the first said he'd fixed it but hadn't and the second said "oh yeah that room", implying they knew it was a problem generally and yet it had not been fixed. The room also stank of weed and sweat (not helped by it being so hot in such a small room for four people). The second room was better because it was bigger and not too hot, although a girls phone and passport were stolen by another guest while I was there and there were toenail clippings by my bed when I arrived. My light switch and plug also didn't work. The main shower room was fine in terms of condition. Generally great location and very cheap however, not comfortable at all. Staff generally friendly but clearly the place knows things are broke ie: radiator/plugs and they shouldn't be charging the same amount for those beds/rooms.

I gave these people time to compensate for their outrageous behavior before posting this. It seems they were happy to accept our payments without providing accommodation. In our room, all nine of us were awakened at 8 am and told that we had to leave by 10 am because someone alleged he saw bed bugs. That is disgusting enough. But wait there is more! They provided no plans for alternate accommodation in spite of the fact that there are many other St Christophers in London.This was on Good Friday and because it was a weekend AND a holiday weekend, scrambling to find shelter at the last moment was particularly difficult! Can you imagine the unnecessary stress? We were promised a refund that never materialised!! We are exploring legal options. Please learn from our experience. You cannot depend on your reservation here. Look elsewhere.

Where to begin, but never again. Stained mattress and bed cover. Guests smoking at window. Alcohol (Swearing) in bedrooms until 5am, laughing and crying. AirPods stolen. Never again.

I loved the breakfast option, and the safe environment of the hostel.

The bunk beds had their own curtains, so it blocked off the lights and the bed was comfortable. The downside was we couldn’t keep the window during the night even though it was warm inside because there is a bar underneath is and people were talking loudly so you could hear them even with the windoe closed (there are fans in the room). The staff were helpful and nice!

Value for money but not at all what was advertised in photography, rooms are a bit bare and sad. Pack an extra pillow because the one supplied is thinner than the duvet. My room key also stopped working on night #2; luckily there was still someone cleaning in the (closed) Belushi’s downstairs whose attention I could grab to fix it. Fine if you’re in a pinch or on a budget, but for me it was more a reminder why i haven’t stayed in a hostel for over a decade.

It was okay for the price. Showers dirty and don’t bother using the woman’s only shower as it leaks all over the floor and is just a push for water. The rooms were incredibly warm despite going in winter, lockers don’t lock but the beds were comfy! Other than that some of the staff were absolutely lovely<3 and it was nice to have a good common area. Would only return if absolutely necessary.

Great place

It was great

J’ai pris une chambre pour femmes avec 4 lits. La chambre est correcte, tout qu’on peut s’imaginer d’une auberge de jeunesse, ni trop grande ni trop petite. Chaque personne dispose d’une cage pour ranger ses affaires. Concernant l’auberge, elle est assez propre si on ne cherche pas trop à regarder les détails. La réception est le bar juste en dessous. Il y a une salle commune pour chauffer ses repas, les mettre au frigo, avec canapés, tv, tables, mais qui nécessite d’être aérée de temps en temps! Le lieu est pile en face du métro donc c’est très très très pratique !! Avec des bus en face aussu qui desservent le centre ! C’est le gros point fort ! Le point faible assez conséquent serait le bruit… les murs sont très fins et on entend absolument tout ce qu’il se passe dans le couloir surtout quand il est utilisé par des ados qui crient toute la soirée. Le bruit du bar aussu est très audible même si la musique se stoppe à minuit. Globalement c’était juste : bien.

Wasn't the best service wise and the place smelt horrible. There's no hostel environment

Basic hostel overpriced as are most in London. It's bearable but not great with a large amount of beds packed into a cramped room. The toilets etc are enough and service was pleasant but it's not the greatest hostel around, I think around £10-£15 a night would be fair

Muy agradable la estancia..

Ophold var fint. Oplevede at toiletter manglede både bræt og papir. Ingen af toiletterne havde mulighed for at tørre hænder.

ubicación excelente, ya que tiene metropolitana y tren (Gatwick) a 2 minutos a pie. Por otro lado, bastante sucio y ruidoso por tener muchas habitaciones a lado de la calle. Pub bastante bien

It was very noisy during weekend as there was loud music downstairs at the bar.

Simply quiet and well organised. Just not my type of stay. Just realise Hostels is not for me.
