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.

The staff was helpful and a lot of the costumers were friendly. The location was very close to the tube station and had several bus routes that pass really close

3-night trip

10/10

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!
2-night trip

6/10

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.
