Not that great and caused delay while checkout.
Last moment told that guest need to get sheets and pillow covers to reception.
Also charges £10 refundable for key in cash.
Apply charges on card which is unreasonable.

My stay at the hotel was good. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a smooth check-in experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with modern amenities. The location was perfect, with easy access to local attractions and tube station. Overall, it was a relaxing and pleasant stay, and I would definitely return.

I think this hotel is the best in the same price range.
Cause the atmosphere they have is open and friendly. I have stayed at some hotels in London, it was like an 8-bed dormitory. Most of them are like a prison. But here is not like that. So nice living room, dining and something.
I recommend it here strongly.

The service was nice and professional. The receptionist was friendly and told necessary information I needed. The free dinner, free breakfast, and cleaning your dishes concept are amazing. Keeps people down to earth 🌎 Check in and check out were smooth. Will be back again.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The staff was friendly and helpful, always ready to offer tips and recommendations. The communal areas were well-maintained and provided a great space to meet other travelers. Overall, I highly recommend Saint James Backpackers for solo adventurers seeking a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Awful hotel experience. Only booked because of its ratings on Trip.com and because the last accommodation recommended by trip.com was a good one. Accommodation and bed was indescribable, with insects in bed, dirty bedsheets., broken bed. Will have to focus on ******* and other places before looking at trip.com again for accommodation. Couldn't even sleep. Would not recommend.
