“Great Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2011

I stayed here for 4 nights last week, 4 bed female room with shared facilities... The great thing about this place is it's in a great location 5 mins to Hyde Park and Notting Hill, Tube station right across the street and you are within easy reach of anywhere in London!!
The rooms were small for 4 people all with luggage so it gets a bit crowded when everyone is trying to get things out of bags etc.. Bathrooms were always unclean, I did see the cleaners on a daily basis but they obviously get pretty filthy through the day and overnight.. The shower cubicles were TINY - even by european standards! The staff were pleasant enough but certainly didn't go out of there way to assist you - I asked the night porter the morning I left what was my best option to get to Heathrow at 5am and he just shrugged & said ' Im not in a position to tell you what your best option is' ...
All in all if you are on a budget you can't beat it for location alone it is fantastic!

Room Tip: Small and very hot - only a small window for the room and no air con..

“Was okay if you want a cheap accommodation in London”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011

We stayed in the hostel for 4 nights. The hostel was okay though. You get the tube station just in front of it, so it's kinda easy for us to traveling around. The staff, Louis, he is really nice guy, friendly and helpful. About others staffs, we didn't really contact them much. The really bad surprise for us is the second night, we came back to the room and try to use the key card to get in the room and it was not working, so we have to get down to the bar at the reception and ask, then we got to know that they moved us to another room without telling us anything while our luggage still stuck in the old room. Therefore, at the end she gave us 2 key cards for the old room - to bring out our luggage - and the new key card for the new room!

We stayed in the 8 bed mixed dorm. Each bed got their own luggage storage under the bed, which is I like it a lot, but you have to bring your own padlock to lock it. The bed is making noise somehow, but it's actually not the problem. The problem is the hostel situated near the street and over the bar so it quite loud at night. If you have trouble go to sleep with loud circumstance you'd better have the earplug to reduce some noises. There are free wifi in the hostel, but the thing I've found out that the room that near the street got the wifi in the room, while the room that opposite didn't have wifi, but you can still go down to the lounge in the basement to use the wifi. If you go down before midnight, there is actually not many people so you can have your own time down there.

The toilet is okay, not that bad. You got it by the end of the hall for couple of them. Toilets and showers are separate. Also, they provide the toilet and shower together for 2 rooms, i think. The shower you have the proper hanger for hang your stuffs, but for the water you have to keep pressing the button like 30 seconds or sth. it was okay, I don't have problem with that.

The breakfast is included and I think it was actually good enough breakfast. You got coffee, tea, toast, butter and jam, milk and cereal also the juice. You can also order breakfast if you don't like what they provide for you for a small price, which is not that bad.

Overall, I think it's okay if you want a cheap accommodation in London. Well, you wouldn't go to London just to sleep or stay there at the hostel though. We left early in the morning, explore the city and come back late at night just to go to sleep. Trust me, we were exhausted that as soon as my head touch the pillow I just fall asleep right away and you won't even hear the noises outside seriously. They got free wifi and proper breakfast, also the place to store the luggage. And for me, I think that's enough.

“You can find a better place for sure!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2010

person found this review helpful

I've stayed there for 4 nights.
At first it is located a bit far from the city center, but the great side is that it's in front of the tube... there are stores, shopping mall and restaurants really close to the hostel. There's nothing to see there. You'll need to spend at least 30 minutes to see London attractions (Tower Bridge, Hyde Park, Big Ben, and so on).
I didn't like the bed... it's noisy and uncomfortable. Another problem is that you can hear EVERYTHING from the street... I don't know if there's a hospital close to the hostel, but I've heard ambulance' sirenes the whole nights. I just got used to it by the 3rd night.
The pub Belushi is really nice. The staff is nice and helpfull. Nothing to complain about them.

“Stay somewhere else”

The only good thing about this place is the location - right across the road from Shepherd's Bush tube station. Otherwise save yourself the hassle and stay else where.

“NIGHTMARE”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I rang St Christopher's Inn Sheppard's Bush and was told that there were available rooms before heading over there, after landing from New York. I lugged my 35 KG luggage bag and portfolio over there along with 10 KG of camera equipment on my shoulder. Checked in, had a beer in the bar, strolled out to get some food, came back and my access card had been deactivated. I went down to find out why and the bartender who was apologetic and polite told me that there was a mistake and they were actually FULL.

Being 7pm getting dark and no where to stay, I was rather [--]. I was offered a room up stairs that had just been PAINTED, mind you I don't know how they could legally have offered me this because chances were I would have suffocated. My credit card was refunded and I was sent on my merry way and insulted with a voucher for 1/2 hour free internet up the road to get my self sorted.

If these people had simply phoned a few hostels for me and maybe offered to pay for a taxi, they would never have copped this dirty review. When you ring St Christopher's Inn to ask if they have an available room, make sure you say "Are you sure now?"

I hope this does not happen to anyone else. NIGHTMARE.
