The hostel is VERY noisy. The rooms are above the club, so it's not particularly possible to sleep there - the beds are shaking. Also luggage storage works in a funny way - you pay first and then find out if there is anything suitable for your bag size.

Everything is fine, if you have experience in stay hostel before. But some neighbors may interrupt your sleeping and talk with you too much. It depends on who is the neighbors. Also you should go back here before 10pm. Everything is shared with others. That's why you have to think about them like taking shower or turning light off.

Very welcoming staff
I have stayed in this hostel three times now, and each time my stay has been fantastic. It’s been clean and comfortable, the location is convenient for Camden, as well as being near the Mornington Crescent tube. The staff as well are incredibly friendly too. I’ve always been checked in by the same person and she is extremely welcoming and sociable. It was actually really nice because my second time that I stayed there (it was several months after my first stay) she remembered me, then the last time I stayed there she gave me big welcome. Unfortunately I don’t know her name but she has been the highlight of my stay the last two times.

not far from koko
i booked this hostel as it was close to the koko venue and local buses back to the city. i was in a mixed dorm on the top bunk. my body is not slim and as disabled i should have asked for the bottom bunk. the beds were roomy and comfortable and there is a bar that serves contienental breakfast which was well in keeping with this hostel. just remember boys and girls no stripping off in a mixed room otherwise you might get an eyeful phooar

Back-packers hostel with bar serving food.
One night trip to attend nearby gig in Kentish Town (O2 Forum). Belushi's bar on the ground floor had a good menu & offered 25% off for residents. I had some sort of Jack Daniels burger & chips which was very filling (less than £8). Euro championships were on and the bar had big screen TVs. Bar closed at 12. Bunk beds were clean as were the shared toilets/shower. Chill out room in basement and laundry too (I didn't use these). Staff were friendly & helpful. 24 hour access. Would return in future.

Too noisy
The room was incredibly noisy. When the loud music ended before midnight you could then enjoy the banging outside, trains underground, or just the general screaming of people outside, and occasionally inside. I realise now how much of a luxury it was to have a socket by the bed in previous hostels. Perhaps you'll have one by yours, if you're lucky. Leaving this place felt like escaping at last. I won't be going back, I need my sleep.

The picture is glamorized; it's located in a less than desirable location, but it's close to King's Cross, so it's quite convenient to reach places in London.

St Christopher's Hostel in Camden
This hostel would be great for young people interested in partying. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the neighbourhood is quite vibrant. Please do note that the hostel is located above a bar, which plays loud music until 1:00 (am). Other than that, it is really what you would expect for a hostel :-)

I stayed at the hotel for 6 nigts and I can say this is the best hostel in London I've stayed in so far! Earplug reccomended, because the rooms are for more than just your company, but you can sleep like a baby with ear plugs. The staff is super nice! :)

poor shower
The shower temperature cannot be controlled. At time it is too hot and other times it is too cold. The hotel is near mornington crescent tube station which is outside zone 1. I am not sure if this means that it costs more on public transport.

Great hostel in great location
I wanted to come to Camden for a few days, mainly as I was going to a concert at Koko on one of the nights. This hostel was only a 5 minute walk from the venue, right on the high street with friendly, helpful staff and amazingly cheap rates compared to any nearby hotels. We had our own room (with a bunk bed) and I was pleasantly surprised to discover we also had our own toilet and shower. The beds were comfortable and warm and we felt safe and secure. I also liked that anyone staying was entitled to food and drink discounts in the bar below. The food was great and reasonably priced too. I would definitely return to this hostel if I visited the area again and I would recommend it to anyone who can't afford a hotel and wants a convenient location.

What a wonderful stay!
This was my first experience in a hostel, and it was so fun! The bed was totally comfortable, the staff were very kind and attentive, even suggesting local sights to see. The neighborhood was very trendy, but also traditionally "English", with pubs and shops, and also lots of market vendors with fresh produce and food items. The Italian cafe' was a real find, and the Camden Market and Camden Locks are world class. I would highly recommend the Inn itself, the location and most of all the overall experience, all of which was amazing!

Great location and comfy beds
This was the first time I stayed in a hostel sharing a room with unknown people and I must say the experience couldn't have been better! The bed was more comfortable and the place more secure than in some of the hotels I've been at in London, and the hostel was in very good shape and very tidy as well. And the location is great - a couple of blocks from Mornington Crescent underground and a walking distance from Camden Lock market. I would recommend arriving before 8 pm so you can take advantage of the cheap hostel meal they provide for those staying at the inn. Just bring a lock so you can rest assured your stuff under your bed are secure.

Exceptional rooms for price. Shame about service
Just enjoyed an overnight stay here and found the place easy enough. Unfortunately it took almost 20 mins to be served at the bar and 30 mins before I was checked in (3rd in line). It wasn't entirely the fault of the staff on duty but whatever booking system they have, it is clearly slow so be prepared to wait it out. Otherwise, I was very impressed with the rooms and how tidy they were. The mattress was the most comfortable one I'd slept on at a hostel. Price wise can't complain either. Recommended but only if you're patient.

By London hostel standards, very good
I've stayed here a few times and its always clean, beds made. The hostel has been recently repainted and the smell still lingers. My only gripe is the shower in the female dorm, that leaks pretty badly. You always end up having to step into a large puddle of water when getting out of the shower..
