St Christopher's Liverpool Street

Best place best location cleaning staff friendly everything perfect

It’s close to subway, convenient transportation. It’s like a 8 minute walk to Liverpool Street. There are also bus stops nearby. People are friendly. And the bathroom is clean and nice. I stayed here for one night to visit London. It is a nice place and convenient to go to any tourist attraction. I think it’s like 3/4 stops to go to the British museum and the Big Ben. In a word, a convenient location and good service.

Very kind and helpful staff. Room is good but lacks a bit air circulation. Overall good

There is a nice bar in the ground level

friendly staff, good food in the pub. excellent location in central london.

What better place for a pub than right below your room? It was almost always busy downstairs and lots of fun. For how rowdy it can get you won’t hear it from your room. People were reserved in the room for the most part, but I met a few people to explore the city with, and had a really great time. The staff were very personable and friendly. I like how they would take your bags before check in so you didn’t have to lug them around the city all day after travelling. Overall would definitely recommend!

Near transportation. Friendly staff.

This is a racist, anti-black establishment. I was looking for something cheap (first mistake) for an impromptu visit to London. I fell for the good rating on Hostelworld (second mistake). They had a rating of 4.something on there which encouraged me and I thought it’d be a novel experience to stay there. I should have checked Trip Advisor which has a certainly more accurate rating of 3.5 and I would never have chosen it with that rating anyway, not even expecting my experience. I got there at about 9:45pm and went to the bar cum reception for the hostel. As I arrived, a man of East Asia origin came right by me and dropped two empty glasses. He was dressed in all black and I thought he was staff. He wasn’t but he was very good-humoured about it and we had a right cackle, right in front of the bar. Then he went to the left side of me and hey presto , one of the staff (who later identified herself as the ‘manager’) promptly attended to him without asking who got there first. I didn’t mind. She served him 3 beers whilst I was standing right next to him in my lime-green jumpsuit. Then she finished serving him, took payment from him, went to the till which was right opposite me, gave him his receipt and walked off to another female colleague dispensing beer, leaving me there. I waited another couple of minutes, thinking that perhaps she needed to supervise the other girl and would come back promptly but she didn’t. I managed to catch her eye and let her know I was there to check in. Then I asked why I’d been ignored. She said ‘she hadn’t seen me’. Gobsmacking. I didn’t realise I’d turned invisible. So I replied that sounded implausible and immediately she claimed I was ‘yelling’. Well, the live band had already started and we were both speaking loudly, and it soon degenerated into myself being labelled aggressive. Yeah of course, that tired trope of the aggressive black woman. Anywhere she refused to check me in which I was thrilled about anyway and I left.
