Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

02 January 2012

Liked: free wifi, clean and tidy, free breakfast, soap, shampoo and moisturizer provided, also a big towel provided

Disliked: no kitchen, even no kettle in the building, I can't even have a hot water! and no common room, or place to sit and chat, I need to stand between stairs to talk on phone for not disturbing my roommates! It's absurd there is no common place and kitchen. Also the shower, cannot adjust the temperature, first time I took shower the water is not hot enough, second too hot......and I need to press almost every 30s to keep the water flowing...... Last thing, the luggage storage cost money, need to hire a locker, no free luggage room

05 December 2011 Maria would recommend this property

Liked: I liked the atmosphere and location very much. I liked the comfortable beds and very practical solution of closets. I liked the spacious room and shower facilities. I think the staff was perfect. Everybody was not only polite but helpful and friendly as well. I was happy that I could spend noghts peacefully withour unnecessary noise. I liked the pub and 10% of granted discount. It was definitely the best hostel I have ever stayed in.

Disliked: I liked everything but I missed more hangers in the shower room to put clothes on.

21 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Good location

Disliked: When I arrived my bed was taken and the only one left had been slept in. I tried to phone reception, as I was in the hostel down the road, but couldn't get through. The guy on recpetion didn't really want to be there.

Disliked: The bins were overflowing

22 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Fantastic Location. Just across the road from the tube station and you don't have to give your key card back in the morning which saves a walk down to reception at the Village which was great as I was in a hurry!

Disliked: Our window looked out onto Borough High St which meant constant noise from the road including horns and an alarm that went off for about 30 mins at 5.45am - would prob benefit from some double glazing...

Disliked: Nothing

27 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: staff was very friendly and helpful, the room and the bathroom was very clean, the beds are new and you get a fresh towell for free. the nights were quiet and the location is very good.

Disliked: the description on the website sounds like a 5* hotel ("beautifully decorated bathrooms", "walking along the scented hallways to your room."), but it's just a hostel. The bathrooms weren't the biggest but okay and i couldn't find the hairdryer and breakfast was allright: cereals with milk and toast with jam

17 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It is situated very close to the london bridge, it is very clean and the stuff is super helpful. breakfast is included. Perfect for a sightseeing and partying shorttrip.

Disliked: A bit sad was that there was no commonroom in the oasis, common rooms are only at the christopher's Inn...

01 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I liked that there were cages under the bunk beds to secure luggage in (if you bring a lock) when you are out of the room. The toilets, showers and rooms were clean. The location is good, you get discounts for food/drink at St. Christopher's, the staff was friendly, and the internet actually worked.

Disliked: There was some remodeling going on which was slightly inconvenient at times. Also, sometimes the toilets had no toilet paper and there were no extras under the sink so we basically would have to go the Village to get some or wait til the maid came in. The alley way to the door is not lit well and also there is no way to communicate with the Village if there's a problem so if you don't have a mobile phone you have to run/walk over to Village.

23 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Very good location right next to the metro and walking distance to the Borough market, Tate Modern and Globe theater, and bars/clubs. Oasis is set off and quieter than the main building (although still on a street in London so not exactly quiet) and the main building was pretty fun.

Disliked: We had a hard time organizing our rooms, and our whole group couldn't stay in the same room. there was construction being done on the bathrooms at the time which made showering more crowded and complicated than it should have been.

23 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I liked that there was a bar connected to the hostel with discounted rates for guests. It was a nice atmosphere to meet people. It was also conveniently close to the tube station, grocery stores, restaurants, etc.

Disliked: They messed up our reservation a tiny bit and then gave away one of my friend's beds. She had to move to a different room which was more of a hassle than a real problem. The five of us ended up being split up into three rooms because of problems with the hostel.

04 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Close to tube and tourist attractions. Easy to travel from here to many destinations within London. I personally like it that there are rooms for females only.

Disliked: The alley with the entrance door to the premises was very poorly lit. No light over the door. As it will be be commonly known that many ladies stay here, the entrance should be more secure (light and camera?). The door is only a few steps into the alley, but it did not feel good standing there. The office is far down the street. I did not find any internal phone to contact staff. What to do when there's an emergency? Do they rely on private mobile phones. A good thing would be if there's access to an internal phone to contact the office. You really have to travel light and be fit, cause you might have to climb 3 flights of stairs to reach your room. While I was there, there was a lady on crutches. Apparently she could only stay on the 3rd floor?

15 April 2011

Liked: Good location

Disliked: The shower was located in a very small, poorly furnished room, the bottom beds didn't have enough room for a person to sit upright on them, generally, the room was not very clean.

15 November 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: rick is the best thing about st christopher's inn! we had some problems (see below) and he helped us to the best he could.we really loved the clean bathrooms and the toiletries provided.. we had makeup remover, body lotion, shampoo, body wash, shaving kit, and hairdryer for free! that was really nice :Din general, it was pretty chilled out room. being all female, it's pretty quiet and everyone is considerate. no manly snoring! definite plus!

Disliked: some girl overstayed without paying and took my bed. i only found out when i came back at 4 am, so i didn't make a big fuss. but honestly, there should be a better system making sure people actually check out OUT! we also had our cards malfunction on us on our last night - guess the girl who checked us in was careless - so we had to walk all the way back to the recep. again, rick was there to help.. i get the feeling that he always has to clean up after someone else's mess and he's always doing it the best he can! yay rick! mm the shampoo in the toilet gave me a really bad scalp. eep. complimentary internet mentioned on hostelbookers wasn't mentioned to us at the hostel. one last thing - the beds were really rickety. but i guess it's luck of the draw. i had a BBW :P sleep in the bunk below me and everytime she moved, i moved, too.

11 November 2010 june would recommend this property

Liked: locationwomen only facility

Disliked: breakfast service NOT HYGIENIC constant mixups with bookings even in the middle of the night

02 November 2010

Liked: Location

Disliked: The property was not worth the extra fee. Painting a few walls pink and providing cheap shampoo does not make a venue female friendly. The wifi didn't work for my entire stay - staff were not helpful at all about repairing this or even giving a vague indication of when it would be repaired. The rooms were dark, not very clean. Bathrooms at a very basic standard. Not many showers/guest. The front of house and all major facilities were 5 mins walk away from the hostel, very inconvenient. Don't pay the extra. It's not wirth staying here.

15 October 2010

Liked: The position, it is very near to london bridge (5 min walking)

Disliked: The oasis inn is in a different building from the central inn (where the reception and breakfast are) and there is no staff in the building. The bathrooms are dirty and very small; there is just one blow dryer in the 3rd floor bathroom and it doesn't always work (they told me there was one in every bathroom).
