St Christopher's Inn Camden

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’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!

Breakfast is extra, not tried. Staff were very patient & went the full distance to help me & sort out assistance for me when I had a locker disaster. They really did help a lot & I appreciate this very much thank you. I thought the staff were really decent & professional I will definitely go back. The pub is great although I had not time to use it. It a very nice place to sit. Asides last weeks fruit fly problem, I like the basement chill area & it's much better than most for seats for someone as myself with spinal pain & sciatic severe pain. I love the location, for me it's really enjoyable location & makes me walk to the west end which is great. If you figure out when, late in day: if you are on low budget you can get reduced to £5 meals in Camden stables market! At the moment this has probably become my current favourite hostel in London & touch wood, it's one of the only: possibly the only hostel in London where I have not been subjected to political persecution organised by third parties I need to challenge in court.

The location was awesome, a 5 minute walk from the tube station, about a 10 minute walk to Camden market, pound store and Aldi also a 1-2 minute walk away. The staff here was helpful and accommodating, super thankful for the guy that let me store my luggage in a locker even after checkout. Pro tip (offered by the staff) if you want to store your luggage bring coins and use the storage lockers instead of the luggage storage service (save yourself a few pounds).
