2-Star Hotels in Greater London, United Kingdom

Great capsule hostel! 😍 The shared toilets and showers are spotless, the bed is clean and spacious, and the staff are welcoming. Perfect for travelers who are out all day and just need a good rest.🥰 Just the location is a bit confusing but thanks to Citymapper (& my patience)! 😅😂

When you book ask for a room at the rear of the hotel, otherwise you will have a lot of noise from the outside road. Very clean, and comfortable budget hotel. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The local area does not have many restaurants, shops, pubs etc. The underground train station is a 15 minute walk away and there are very good underground trains into central London. Excel is easily accessible on the underground and Docklands Light Railway, A good car park is available which charges £10 for 24 hours,

Overall a nice hostel for solo travelers to seek for a place to have a nice rest during their journey. The room is clean and quiet and lockers are provided for free for us to store our belongings. The common kitchen is opened for 24 hours and the environment inside is pretty nice. Worth for a try if you are traveling to London and searching for a place to rest!

During 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.

From Heathrow Airport to Russell Square station, the hotel is close to Russell Square station. So it is quite convenient. But from the train to the exit of Russell Square station you need to carry your luggage upstairs yourself for a little bit

The hostel's entrance is within the Bar called Belushis, this is again shared for the hostel's reception and hostel's breakfast area. The bar is described as sport themed on their website, but I would say it's more of an alternative music theme instead, as the decor in the toilets, the passage and stage area are fitted with them type of posters. I arrived on a Sunday at around 7:30pm, there was a blonde Irish musician playing a guitar and singing, there were also playing womens' soccer on the 6 TV screens, but every one I saw was watching the musician. The ambience was very lively and enjoyable, as the musician was there and had good encouragement skills, when small~talking in between each song. St Christopher's Inn's check in desk was located next to Belushis's (drinks) bar, a small gap made it a detached unit, the bar tender was also the hostel's receptionist. A photo of your passport is suffice, for the required identification when checking in. (Do not try to use a railcard or an annual bus pass, as these 2 forms of photographic identification are not acceptable.) It's compulsory to pay a refundable £2 lending fee for the key card, which they give back when you give back their key card. Once in the hostel I explored, their entertainment room is called the 'Chill Out Room', the room is big with a big TV screen, the TV is connected to the Internet and is also an (internet) browser. There are also lots of movie DVDs and some boxed party games. There are 2 padded sofas and 2 padded armchairs, a kitchen including a kettle, attached to this room is an additional room for lockers. The dormitory I was allocated to had 12 beds, including 1 shower and 2 wash basins. (Out of the dormitory) beside the corridor there were 2 individual toilet rooms. The morning after I had breakfast, it's an affordable price of £6, which has a big selection of foods and is all self serviced.

Hostel is in a great location. Right next to the underground. Alot of amazing pubs in all locations. The hostel is fine, I booked because the images shower privacy curtains on the bed.... Yeah they didnt have any. The floor i was on had 1 shower only and the toilets, showers I went to where all dirty. The room at night was very hot and had a very small pedalstool fan which wasn't helpful very much. The beds have personal PowerPoint, USB and lights to use. You also need to pay for a deposit for the keycard and towel if you need one. But it's returned after checkout. Will stay again

It was a really good experience and cheap stay. If you guys are looking for a short stay or a solo traveller then I will recommend this hotel .

So the hotel is in a great location, super close to Paddington and Edgware Road stations. Reception staff were lovely. Signage is poor as the hotel is actually made up of several different buildings and former hotels/guest houses. I have stayed here before as its cheap and cheerful. They have refurbed the bathrooms but the rooms are very old fashioned. Bedding is very old. Under the beds had not been hoovered or checked (see picture, we found a pair of used knickers and a condom wrapper). The bathroom although lovely had a limited amount of hot water. Not even enough for me me person to a shower with a warm shower let alone three. The room was advertised as three single beds but when we got there it was a double and a single. Overall you do get what you pay for and I can cope with tired/old as it wasnt a luxury trip or special occasion however they need to absolutely work on cleanliness. The carpets and curtains smelt of smoke and cigarettes.

It was a good stay. The bed and linens are very clean. It's quiet and comfortable. Location is good too.
