St Christopher's Inn Camden

I loved the friendly staff member Scott and I loved the friendly meeting area with tvs and formula 1 racing on. I like how Belushis has a big bar area and a bar going sorta tourism interested crowd of people and I liked the underground food area and the drinks area!!

It was good! Comfy beds, good charging facilities, interesting and chatty roommates, great staff, tasty food at Belushi’s bar and we had a very convenient toilet and shower in our room!

Room and bathroom were clean everyday. Buses metro supermarket and library right next to the place. Breakfast was superb (bigups to the Polish chef). Staff was awesome (bigups to the African, Portuguese, and Phillipino brothers sharing their knowledge on how to get around London (aka dodging expensive train rides with more affordable options) and the 2 ladies as well . Finally, the area the hostel is situated in, Camden, is live; totally changed my perspective on London and Britain in general.

I am constantly visiting different countries and cities, so I have something to compare with and I can say that this is one of the best hostels. Everything is very clean. The rooms have heating and even in winter the room is warm. Many common rooms have their own shower and toilet. There is always warm water. Every evening at 20:00, a lot of free delicious pizza and free drinks are served to all guests, which can include beer or delicious fruit punch. The hostel staff is always friendly and welcoming. They always quickly help if you have any questions. The location of the hostel is also good, as there is a metro nearby and in 15 minutes you can get to all the central attractions of London. On the -1 floor there is a common room with a large TV and soft sofas and armchairs, which is open all night and if you come with a large company, you can spend time there even all night and at the same time you will not disturb other guests sleeping. The hostel also includes a large pub where you can have a drink, watch football and meet other people, as this pub is visited not only by hostel guests but also by locals. Also, for hostel guests there is a big discount on all food and drinks in the pub. Another plus is the large safes for storing personal belongings, which are locked with a locker and you do not need to worry about valuables when you go for a walk.

I’ve stayed at the London Bridge St Christopher’s and a few other St Christopher’s inns, around Europe, but this was my first time staying at the Camden branch, it was a little different this one, but still really good! I liked the Camden location, it has heaps of restaurants, supermarkets, bars (plus the Belushi bar and restaurant itself) very locally, a really cool club just down the road called KOKO, its very close to Regent’s Park and you can get around London very quickly, as it’s so near a couple of Northern line train stops. My bed was comfy, with a good charging socket, light, en-suite shower and a useful sink, in the room and good roommates from all around the world, who were good to chat to on NYE and the following day. The bar seemed fun and the staff were very welcoming, but this hostel’s Belushi’s bar area, was a little smaller than the other Belushi’s bars around Europe and I’m sure can get busy and have a really good vibe going, but seems a bit more chill than the others and was pretty quiet, when I was there during the day (no bad thing, as you get your food served fast), but if your looking to meet new people, there only around in the evening. Fun chill out area downstairs beneath the bar, where I got chatting to a couple of different groups each day, that was fun!
