First, let’s clarify the confusing names…
There are THREE St. Christopher’s Inns on the same stretch of road (Borough High Street) near London Bridge.
1. St. Christopher’s Inns - The Inn
2. St. Christopher’s Inns - The Village
3. St. Christopher’s Inn - The Oasis (female only)
I stayed at The Village.
Your experience will depend greatly on your room - I see many guests in the Pods complain about the noise from the bar downstairs. Luckily I had a 10 bed dorm room on a higher floor and there were no noise issues, apart from the outside traffic (as windows were open to cool the room).
Beds in my dorm had privacy curtains which was fantastic. Lockers under beds are noisy. The shared bathroom facilities were fine.
Breakfast was surprisingly good. Note that there’s no proper kitchen for cooking.
Staff were all super friendly which was a nice change for London - perhaps because they weren’t from London!
Although there’s a social room and an outside terrace, there isn’t much communal space apart from the bar. So if you need space to work, there really isn’t anywhere.
Considering this hostel is often priced competitively, if you get a good room I think it offers good value for money.
