Although it seems like a little bit narrow in the room of 9 beds. It’s still possible to move around. Bathroom is not really clean but acceptable. Not to mention that’s it’s just 5 minutes walking from Lamberth North Tube Station
A safe haven in the middle of the metropolis: We took a traditional brick building with roots dating back to the 1800s and set a new standard for hostel life in the UK. What was once sailors' accommodation is now a hostel that caters for all the needs of the modern traveller. With great attention to detail, we have created a hostel in London that celebrates the heritage of our historic building. The old oak that once formed part of sturdy ships and churches is now immortalised in our furnishings throughout the house. The beers you drink here will be served on a bar made from 500 year old wood! Our Wombat's City Hostel is located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, right next to the famous Tower Bridge and Tower of London, charming markets, authentic pubs and many other places of historical interest. A short walk will take you to trendy Shoreditch with its vibrant street art, the lively nightlife of Hoxton Square and Old Street and finally Brick Lane, which has become one of the most popular spots. All other London attractions are easily accessible by public transport: Aldgate East and Tower Bridge underground and DLR stations are just a stone's throw away. After a long and exciting day in London, our hostel awaits you with a cosy courtyard, a spacious lobby with our own WomCAFÉ (exclusive Wombat's Roast included) and WomBAR. All rooms are equipped with en-suite bathroom and private lockers. Includes: - Bed linen. - WiFi. - WomCAFÉ - The WomBAR for endless parties. - A guest kitchen open to all who want to satisfy their own culinary needs. - 24/7 reception. - Secure luggage storage. - Rental items (umbrellas, hairdryers, adaptors: everything a traveller could need). - Coin-operated laundry facilities (washing and drying), so you can revitalise your clothes! Our famous Tasty Brekkie buffet guarantees you enough energy for your exciting day in London. You can buy breakfast for an economical price at reception. Exploring Europe? Don't miss out on our Wombat's in Budapest, Leipzig, Munich and Vienna (Minimum age 18 years).

Ive stayed here multiple times over the years—first during the pandemic, then again not like my after we where set free, and now. This time, I was, and still am, impressed. The place is spotlessly clean, equipped with all the amenities you could need and more. The kitchen is fantastic, and while there's an on-site bar (which will tempt you to spend a bit more), the overall atmosphere is great. It’s on the pricier side for a London hostel, but the diverse mix of travelers and exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable staff make it worthwhile. My only complaint? The showers could be much hotter. A truly hot shower is something I really value, and in that regard, this place falls short.

On the first day of arriving in the UK, I had to wait a long time at customs. I called the front desk to ask if they could hold my bed until the early hours of the next day, and they kindly agreed. The hotel has a luggage storage room in the basement, and there’s also a luggage rack in the room, which is secure and safe.
The hotel has an excellent location and great value for money! It’s conveniently located near major attractions and transportation hubs. The rooms are spacious and bright, the beds are very comfortable. Definitely worth the price, highly recommend!

PPamela2024.05.06
Negative: the hotel is very old, corridors and rooms are very narrow, but functional. Don't expect great luxury. It was relatively clean, but due to the old hotel (ancient carpet), it is difficult to keep anything clean. Relatively typical for London standards. Unfortunately, very few storage options.
Positive: the location was great! Quick access to Kings Cross underground station, but still very quiet. The staff were always very friendly and helpful. There was a hairdryer, shower gel, fresh towels every day and even a ”German” socket and a small TV. Totally fine for the price.

The service attitude is really very good. The location is also very good, in Chinatown. It is very lively at night, but the sound insulation is very good, so don't worry. The room is really clean and not too small. There is also a small refrigerator and a safe. It is really rare to have such a hotel price and service in the center of London.

AAnonymous User2024.12.20
Very good location.
Helpful staff.
One of the concerns is the shaking of the hotel, at least the rooms because of the metro passing by more or less every 5 minutes.
This stops in the evening and starts again in the morning.
Another small problem is access to hot water in the showers… The water freezes or becomes scalding if other people are showering at the same time in the hotel.
Apart from that, a decent hotel.

GGuest UserToo small toilet and shower - good beds, good air conditioning , guests don’t follow the rules - a bit too loud at 00.00 and ppl
Eating inside the room… good lockers… near everything , affordable…
Eethanwade1298Would like to say that the hostel/bar staff were very welcoming and helpful and were very professional.
Hotel was clean and bedding was comfy and shower room was clean only issue is woken up by a loud noise when shower was being used by others.
AAnonymous UserDuring my recent stay at St Christopher's Hostel in Greenwich, London, I unfortunately encountered several aspects that left a lot to be desired. One of the major drawbacks was the cleanliness of the premises, which fell below the standards I typically expect from hostel accommodations.
The state of cleanliness in my assigned room was notably subpar. There were visible signs of neglect, with dirty surfaces and a lack of attention to detail in maintaining a hygienic environment. This aspect significantly impacted my overall comfort during the stay and left a lasting impression that detracted from the positive aspects one hopes to find in a lodging establishment.
Equally disappointing was the level of service provided by the hostel staff. Throughout my stay, I encountered instances where the service was notably poor. There seemed to be a lack of attentiveness and responsiveness to guest needs. Whether it was requests for information, assistance, or even basic inquiries, the staff's overall demeanor did not reflect a commitment to guest satisfaction.
The combination of inadequate cleanliness and subpar service made for a less-than-pleasant experience at St Christopher's Hostel. It is my hope that these aspects can be addressed by the management to ensure a more positive and comfortable stay for future guests. While I understand that hostels may vary in terms of amenities, a baseline of cleanliness and attentive service is crucial for creating a welcoming and satisfactory environment for guests.
AAnonymous UserThe location is convenient, close to underground station. The communal areas were cozy. However, I did encounter an issue with cleanliness in the room. Despite this, the service was good overall and the staffs were helpful, making it a decent value for money.

Strong water, free WiFi, but in the room the signal is not good, there is no TV, but overall good, near the train station. Near a mini-mart, suitable for Backpackers..When sleeping late at night, you can hear the sound of people opening and closing doors, the sound of people walking, disturbing when sleeping.

AAngelI am writing to provide feedback on our recent stay at your hotel. While the location was excellent, we found that the hotel itself was in need of some improvements.
Firstly, I would like to highlight the positive aspect of our stay, which was the great location of the hotel. It was conveniently situated near various attractions and amenities, allowing us to easily explore the area. This was definitely a major advantage during our visit.
However, we were disappointed with the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the hotel. The rooms appeared to be in need of a deep cleansing, as there were noticeable stains on the carpets and walls. Additionally, the furniture and fixtures seemed worn out and outdated. A fresh coat of paint and new beds would greatly enhance the overall appearance and comfort of the rooms.
Furthermore, we found the lack of a welcoming lobby person to be quite disappointing. Upon arrival, we were not greeted or assisted by any staff members. This lack of hospitality made us feel unwelcome and left a negative impression.
In conclusion, while the location of the hotel was excellent, we believe that improvements are necessary to enhance the overall guest experience. A thorough cleaning, along with updates to the rooms and furniture, would greatly improve the comfort and aesthetics of the hotel. Additionally, having a friendly and welcoming lobby person would contribute to a more positive and enjoyable stay.
P.S. positive side- I truly appreciate the staff at the hotel who made the effort to move us to a more convenient floor. Additionally, it's always a pleasant experience when the breakfast lady is friendly and accommodating.
(No elevator/lift)
(I paid too much for 3nights so I was expecting a good place to relax after 27hours of travelling with a toddler).

GGuest UserHotel is well kept and clean. Very close to earls court station. Few minutes walk away. Only problem encountered, no means of turning on the aircon and we styaed at the basement.
GGuest UserThe room that I had book was not similar to the picture they shared. It was underground and the smell of paining was annoying. I asked them to change my room and fortunately they gave me another room on the ground floor.
NNikos BlaxosThe location was pretty good and also the bed was clean and tidy but overall the place let's say it wasn't in the best condition. The bathroom sink kept blocking by simply washing your hands and the shower water had 0 pressure unless you wanted to get 2nd degree burn on the closet There were some black spots on the floor so probably mold or something like that. The same on the windows ledge. Paid £290 for 3 nights so would expect at least some basic things.
