Die Gäste schätzen den Garten und die geselligen Gemeinschaftsräume, obwohl die Sitzplätze zu Stoßzeiten begrenzt sein können. Das Personal ist in der Regel freundlich und hilfsbereit, aber einige berichten von schlechter Erreichbarkeit vor der Ankunft und gelegentlichen Problemen beim Check-in oder bei der Zimmerzuweisung. Für die Küchennutzung gelten Regeln, mit begrenztem Platz im Kühlschrank und Schließzeiten während der Zubereitung durch das Personal. Erwarten Sie einen lebhaften, preiswerten Aufenthalt mit grundlegenden Annehmlichkeiten und einigen Kompromissen.

people at hostel very social. some people were weird, but that's everywhere. the female dorm was clean and the fellow stayers were extremely supportive. free breakfast was like reheated heinz beans, hotdog wieners boiled, eggs, pancakes, toast, cereal. 7pm dinner was free if you signed up early enough. there is a female only bathroom n shower. everything was clean. no mold. no laundry though. close to main attractions. wifi hit or miss lowkey. staff was sweet. very active and social at night. the age range was from 20s to 30s, but there were many older stayers as well. There is a cat, the cat was cute. make sure you have shower shoes. ask for the bottom bunk. clean plates and there is a fridge.

This is a family owned and run hostel that has been generationally passed down. It is affordable, well run, you always have hot water, and the staff are very welcoming and helpful and keep the bathrooms clean (which is quite a task!). In addition, there are lockers under the beds where you can store your stuff (just bring a lock), the breakfast is good and predictable and there is an optional dinner you can sign up for every evening. There is a football match on nearly every evening to boot (in season of course)! It is only a 5 min walk from the tube (Stamford Bridge is only 2 stops away!) and restaurants abound. A couple of things you won't know from booking here: there is a 10 pound refundable deposit for the room key (bring cash), bring a towel (but a small travel towel on Amazon) and soap/shampoo with you (or buy it at the grocery store when you arrive), and they have deals on weekly rates of you book with them directly and you don't start your stay on the weekend. Overall, I'd go back in a heartbeat. Next time you travel to London, don't stay at a hotel, support a local family that is doing good work in the city. Stay at St James Backpackers!

Overall, this was good value for the price and the hostel is in a great location - close to the tube and there is a grocery store and multiple restaurants down the street. My one complaint was that when I took a shower, the drain was clogged and I was immediately standing in 4 inches of dirty water. Future guests should note the following: - The all-female dorm is two floors above the all-female bathroom. All other bathrooms are any gender. - There are no privacy curtains on the bunks - Dorms do not have quiet/curtesy hours posted - The kitchen is small and closed when the staff are cooking dinner. Dinner is limited to the first 30 people who sign up each morning. So if you have plans to make your own dinner, you can’t use the kitchen during normal dinner hours - Guests are not allowed to store cooked food in the fridge, so you can’t keep leftovers - The communal area is pretty small for the number of guests that can fit into the hostel. The hostel was not at full capacity when I was there but I often couldn’t find a place to sit and eat. Although in the summer, there are many seats to sit out in the garden - Each bunk is assigned a lock box for your items that rolls under the bed. I liked this system and the boxes are fairly large. - My bunk did not have a bedside light or shelf

This was a good stay, convenient and handy. The feel with a double room is a little like a b&b, with helpful staff and very simple rooms. The main negative is a very noisy pipe running in the room which seemed to be linked to people having showers, although the nose finishes at midnight. The communal areas are nice, and it served a tofu and potato curry for free evening meals (you have to get on the list so maybe email in about this as it fills up fast. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Going by out stay the private rooms are at the top, so accessibility could be an issue (steep stairs) ... Overall, I would definitely come again, it has a nice vibe and for the price and location, it's really good.

They don't have an elevator, but the staff helped me with my luggage, so I can't complain. They offer free dinner (on my stay it was vegan beans, salad, and rice) and free breakfast (eggs cooked for you upon request). They have a dedicated bathroom for women which is great. The only mess was that the key they gave me at checkin didn't correspond to my bed number. The locker was stuck under the bed. When I came back from theatre in the evening, someone else put her stuff on my bed. I had to go check with the reception and they pointed me to another unused bed. All the changes caused a longer check-out time.

Cheap room, good location. Only one small fridge and pretty strict rules meant I had in-date food thrown out twice. Kitchen is also closed at meal times for staff to make food for guests. And when it opens back up is at the discretion of staff on the day, they dont follow the set times. Bathrooms often flooded, and missing toilet paper. Rooms dont have fans which is an issue in the summer. Lock boxes under the bed are too small for bags. Staff were ok. Polite and attentive, but not particularly friendly (to me anyway).

Wonderful people, and the option of a free meal in the evening (subject to numbers signing up) was completely unexpected!! Courtyard area is beautiful. Visited in the middle of a heatwave so wasn't really able to take advantage of a lot of the facilities because I felt so tired! But the sound of people playing table tennis below as I cooled down inside made me smile :-)

Die Sauberkeit ist uneinheitlich: In mehreren Bewertungen werden schmutzige oder überflutete Badezimmer, verstopfte Abflüsse und fehlende Vorräte erwähnt, während andere die Bereiche für Frauen und einige Badezimmer sauber fanden. Die allgemeine Sauberkeit in Gemeinschaftsbereichen kann zu wünschen übrig lassen.

Good for the position - Museums, Hyde Park, High Street Kensington - all within walking distance. In addition to breakfast, the first 30 to sign up on a list can claim free dinner. Not really impressed by some of the staff, and although the place can be busy with some guests not being particularly attentive to cleanliness themselves, the place could be way cleaner.

I came to check in and this was all fine. The only issue i found was the place had things dumped everywhere and it was not tidy. Once checked in i was given a tour of the building and told the rules. The guy who showed me around was pleasent and explained most things well. On the tour the place seemed very untidy and had a weird feeling about it. My dorm room was on the top floor which was very unsafe to access as the staircase was steep and there were no handrails as you reach the top where the staircase starts to spiral to the door. Trying to open a door when on a spiral staircase with nothing to hold is not the safest thing i can think of and this made me nervous. Upon returning to the dorm room that night i found the flooring was very loud and can annoy guests (it annoyed me while trying to get some rest with the sound of suitcases and shoes keeping me awake). Another part of this trip that made me feel uncomfortable was that around 3am one member of the dorm returned with a friend and turned the light on. This was on for 30 minutes while they both were sat on thr bed opposite mine staring at me. They thrn left after making lots of noise on the noisy floor when taking out their luggage. Upon leaving the hostel the next morning i went downstairs to return the key. I was told i couldnt have my £10 deposit back unless i went and took off the bedding i had used. Is this not a service you pay for for one of these establishments? This was never pointed out in my tour.......

This has to be the friendliest, most cheerful hostel i have ever stayed in. Had great conversations with people even though many are much younger, but some my age. But beds could be better - pillows woeful. More cleaning needs to be done. Great having breakfast provided as well as social activities organised by management.

Friendly staff and perfect more thsn perfect Spaghetti Bolognese. The rest wasn\'t good. Loud everywhere and the doors very loud until ithe night and morning. I slept maximum 3 hours each night. Wash bassins only extreme hot water. Shower area to small. The "Power" in the bathrooms for shaving doesn\' t work. No electricy. You have to buy an adapter for UK but that is not useable in the bathroom.

All other bathrooms are any gender. - There are no privacy curtains on the bunks - Dorms do not have quiet/curtesy hours posted - The kitchen is small and closed when the staff are cooking dinner. Dinner is limited to the first 30 people who sign up each morning. So if you have plans to make your own dinner, you can’t use the kitchen during normal dinner hours - Guests are not allowed to store cooked food in the fridge, so you can’t keep leftovers - The communal area is pretty small for the number of guests that can fit into the hostel. The hostel was not at full capacity when I was there but I often couldn’t find a place to sit and eat. Although in the summer, there are many seats to sit out in the garden - Each bunk is assigned a lock box for your items that rolls under the bed. I liked this system and the boxes are fairly large. - My bunk did not have a bedside light or shelf

This was a good stay, convenient and handy. The feel with a double room is a little like a b&b, with helpful staff and very simple rooms. The main negative is a very noisy pipe running in the room which seemed to be linked to people having showers, although the nose finishes at midnight. The communal areas are nice, and it served a tofu and potato curry for free evening meals (you have to get on the list so maybe email in about this as it fills up fast. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Going by out stay the private rooms are at the top, so accessibility could be an issue (steep stairs) ... Overall, I would definitely come again, it has a nice vibe and for the price and location, it's really good.

Stayed overnight before catching a morning flight. The common areas seemed pleasant. The bunk beds fitted quite tight in the rooms. Lacking easy reachable power outlets or a convenience shelf in the top beds.

I came to check in and this was all fine. The only issue i found was the place had things dumped everywhere and it was not tidy. Once checked in i was given a tour of the building and told the rules. The guy who showed me around was pleasent and explained most things well. On the tour the place seemed very untidy and had a weird feeling about it. My dorm room was on the top floor which was very unsafe to access as the staircase was steep and there were no handrails as you reach the top where the staircase starts to spiral to the door. Trying to open a door when on a spiral staircase with nothing to hold is not the safest thing i can think of and this made me nervous. Upon returning to the dorm room that night i found the flooring was very loud and can annoy guests (it annoyed me while trying to get some rest with the sound of suitcases and shoes keeping me awake). Another part of this trip that made me feel uncomfortable was that around 3am one member of the dorm returned with a friend and turned the light on. This was on for 30 minutes while they both were sat on thr bed opposite mine staring at me. They thrn left after making lots of noise on the noisy floor when taking out their luggage. Upon leaving the hostel the next morning i went downstairs to return the key. I was told i couldnt have my £10 deposit back unless i went and took off the bedding i had used. Is this not a service you pay for for one of these establishments? This was never pointed out in my tour.......

They don't have an elevator, but the staff helped me with my luggage, so I can't complain. They offer free dinner (on my stay it was vegan beans, salad, and rice) and free breakfast (eggs cooked for you upon request). They have a dedicated bathroom for women which is great. The only mess was that the key they gave me at checkin didn't correspond to my bed number. The locker was stuck under the bed. When I came back from theatre in the evening, someone else put her stuff on my bed. I had to go check with the reception and they pointed me to another unused bed. All the changes caused a longer check-out time.

This has to be the friendliest, most cheerful hostel i have ever stayed in. Had great conversations with people even though many are much younger, but some my age. But beds could be better - pillows woeful. More cleaning needs to be done. Great having breakfast provided as well as social activities organised by management.

Cheap room, good location. Only one small fridge and pretty strict rules meant I had in-date food thrown out twice. Kitchen is also closed at meal times for staff to make food for guests. And when it opens back up is at the discretion of staff on the day, they dont follow the set times. Bathrooms often flooded, and missing toilet paper. Rooms dont have fans which is an issue in the summer. Lock boxes under the bed are too small for bags. Staff were ok. Polite and attentive, but not particularly friendly (to me anyway).

Service
Der Service ist im Allgemeinen freundlich und hilfsbereit, wobei das Personal unterstützt und eine gesellige Atmosphäre fördert. Einige Gäste berichten jedoch von schlechter Kommunikation vor der Ankunft und gelegentlichen Problemen beim Check-in oder bei Richtlinien. Nachts verursachte Störungen durch andere Gäste wurden nicht immer gut bewältigt.

This is a family owned and run hostel that has been generationally passed down. It is affordable, well run, you always have hot water, and the staff are very welcoming and helpful and keep the bathrooms clean (which is quite a task!). In addition, there are lockers under the beds where you can store your stuff (just bring a lock), the breakfast is good and predictable and there is an optional dinner you can sign up for every evening. There is a football match on nearly every evening to boot (in season of course)! It is only a 5 min walk from the tube (Stamford Bridge is only 2 stops away!) and restaurants abound. A couple of things you won't know from booking here: there is a 10 pound refundable deposit for the room key (bring cash), bring a towel (but a small travel towel on Amazon) and soap/shampoo with you (or buy it at the grocery store when you arrive), and they have deals on weekly rates of you book with them directly and you don't start your stay on the weekend. Overall, I'd go back in a heartbeat. Next time you travel to London, don't stay at a hotel, support a local family that is doing good work in the city. Stay at St James Backpackers!

Good for the position - Museums, Hyde Park, High Street Kensington - all within walking distance. In addition to breakfast, the first 30 to sign up on a list can claim free dinner. Not really impressed by some of the staff, and although the place can be busy with some guests not being particularly attentive to cleanliness themselves, the place could be way cleaner.

Friendly, helpful staff. Good hot free breakfasts and dinners. Didn’t like the fact that reception allowed homeless people with just a plastic bag of clothes book in at 2am in the morning. Two nights in a row the whole room was woken up by drunk residents. One was aggressive, the other was just inconsiderate. Otherwise, a great place to stay.

Saint James hostel is a welcoming place to stay. It gives you the feel of a family home, with its very friendly and helpful staff who connect with guests. The hostel offers free breakfast and free dinner. They organise events and games to entertain. They even have a happiness manager! Tosh does a great job whether he is cooking dinner, making popcorn or organising a game for the guests. I recommend trying it if visiting London.

people at hostel very social. some people were weird, but that's everywhere. the female dorm was clean and the fellow stayers were extremely supportive. free breakfast was like reheated heinz beans, hotdog wieners boiled, eggs, pancakes, toast, cereal. 7pm dinner was free if you signed up early enough. there is a female only bathroom n shower. everything was clean. no mold. no laundry though. close to main attractions. wifi hit or miss lowkey. staff was sweet. very active and social at night. the age range was from 20s to 30s, but there were many older stayers as well. There is a cat, the cat was cute. make sure you have shower shoes. ask for the bottom bunk. clean plates and there is a fridge.

Overall, this was good value for the price and the hostel is in a great location - close to the tube and there is a grocery store and multiple restaurants down the street. My one complaint was that when I took a shower, the drain was clogged and I was immediately standing in 4 inches of dirty water. Future guests should note the following: - The all-female dorm is two floors above the all-female bathroom. All other bathrooms are any gender. - There are no privacy curtains on the bunks - Dorms do not have quiet/curtesy hours posted - The kitchen is small and closed when the staff are cooking dinner. Dinner is limited to the first 30 people who sign up each morning. So if you have plans to make your own dinner, you can’t use the kitchen during normal dinner hours - Guests are not allowed to store cooked food in the fridge, so you can’t keep leftovers - The communal area is pretty small for the number of guests that can fit into the hostel. The hostel was not at full capacity when I was there but I often couldn’t find a place to sit and eat. Although in the summer, there are many seats to sit out in the garden - Each bunk is assigned a lock box for your items that rolls under the bed. I liked this system and the boxes are fairly large. - My bunk did not have a bedside light or shelf

This was a good stay, convenient and handy. The feel with a double room is a little like a b&b, with helpful staff and very simple rooms. The main negative is a very noisy pipe running in the room which seemed to be linked to people having showers, although the nose finishes at midnight. The communal areas are nice, and it served a tofu and potato curry for free evening meals (you have to get on the list so maybe email in about this as it fills up fast. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Going by out stay the private rooms are at the top, so accessibility could be an issue (steep stairs) ... Overall, I would definitely come again, it has a nice vibe and for the price and location, it's really good.

And when it opens back up is at the discretion of staff on the day, they dont follow the set times. Bathrooms often flooded, and missing toilet paper. Rooms dont have fans which is an issue in the summer. Lock boxes under the bed are too small for bags. Staff were ok. Polite and attentive, but not particularly friendly (to me anyway).

Gastronomie
Das kostenlose Frühstück und ein begrenztes, anmeldepflichtiges kostenloses Abendessen werden für das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis sehr gelobt, obwohl die Qualität einfach ist. Die Nutzung der Küche und des Kühlschranks unterliegt strengen Regeln, begrenztem Platz und Schließzeiten während der Essenszubereitung; eine Bewertung fand das Frühstück schlecht.

people at hostel very social. some people were weird, but that's everywhere. the female dorm was clean and the fellow stayers were extremely supportive. free breakfast was like reheated heinz beans, hotdog wieners boiled, eggs, pancakes, toast, cereal. 7pm dinner was free if you signed up early enough. there is a female only bathroom n shower. everything was clean. no mold. no laundry though. close to main attractions. wifi hit or miss lowkey. staff was sweet. very active and social at night. the age range was from 20s to 30s, but there were many older stayers as well. There is a cat, the cat was cute. make sure you have shower shoes. ask for the bottom bunk. clean plates and there is a fridge.

Good for the position - Museums, Hyde Park, High Street Kensington - all within walking distance. In addition to breakfast, the first 30 to sign up on a list can claim free dinner. Not really impressed by some of the staff, and although the place can be busy with some guests not being particularly attentive to cleanliness themselves, the place could be way cleaner.

This was a good stay, convenient and handy. The feel with a double room is a little like a b&b, with helpful staff and very simple rooms. The main negative is a very noisy pipe running in the room which seemed to be linked to people having showers, although the nose finishes at midnight. The communal areas are nice, and it served a tofu and potato curry for free evening meals (you have to get on the list so maybe email in about this as it fills up fast. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Going by out stay the private rooms are at the top, so accessibility could be an issue (steep stairs) ... Overall, I would definitely come again, it has a nice vibe and for the price and location, it's really good.

Friendly, helpful staff. Good hot free breakfasts and dinners. Didn’t like the fact that reception allowed homeless people with just a plastic bag of clothes book in at 2am in the morning. Two nights in a row the whole room was woken up by drunk residents. One was aggressive, the other was just inconsiderate. Otherwise, a great place to stay.

They don't have an elevator, but the staff helped me with my luggage, so I can't complain. They offer free dinner (on my stay it was vegan beans, salad, and rice) and free breakfast (eggs cooked for you upon request). They have a dedicated bathroom for women which is great. The only mess was that the key they gave me at checkin didn't correspond to my bed number. The locker was stuck under the bed. When I came back from theatre in the evening, someone else put her stuff on my bed. I had to go check with the reception and they pointed me to another unused bed. All the changes caused a longer check-out time.

Saint James hostel is a welcoming place to stay. It gives you the feel of a family home, with its very friendly and helpful staff who connect with guests. The hostel offers free breakfast and free dinner. They organise events and games to entertain. They even have a happiness manager! Tosh does a great job whether he is cooking dinner, making popcorn or organising a game for the guests. I recommend trying it if visiting London.

Not often stayed in a hostel with so many amenities and extras, like the free breakfast, evening meals and drinks. Didn’t have the best nights sleep but this was due to the people in the room, which the hostel can’t do anything about!
