St Christopher's London Bridge - Oasis Female-Only

The place was clean. A lot of beds in one room, but still managed to be comfortable enough with curtains around. Location is fantastic. The reception staff are nice and helpful

The app key system was kinda silly

It was clean. Close to my destination. Easy to find. Also close to tube station as well. Staff are helpful and their coin locker was a massive hit for me. The Oasis part is really safe for solo girl travellers like me.

I didn’t like that a male used to come to the room at noon. He was a staff and used come for work only when other female workers were present. I could see that. But I still didn’t like that. Cause us girls don’t really wear much clothes when we’re comfortable in our room. It was huge shock for me. I would appreciate if they replace him with a female worker for Oasis part.

The property was near a couple things that I guess people wanted to see. The staff were nice. The bar next-door was a great amenity. The security was pretty good.

The property wasn’t as close to the places that I wanted to see including the Christmas markets of Covent Garden and others. I walked to the theater for the show, SIX, that I wanted to see; however, when I went to get a bicycle taxi back, the guy told me it was too far. When I told him I walked there, he finally agreed to take me, charged me €70! I had a top bunk, which was not a good idea for a 70 year-old, especially when I had to get up and down in the night to use the bathroom. Otherwise the bunk was clean, the sheets were clean and nice, the mattress was adequate, & the comforter served its purpose, but the pillow was horrible: thin and flat. it was really hot in the room with 10 women and we were only able to open the window about 6 inches. One of the women in the room was sick with a cold, coughing and sneezing, and blowing her nose and just really obviously very unwell. At least she kept the curtain to her bunk closed. But trying to keep the bunk curtain closed just turned it into a sweltering bed. The two nights and days I was there, a guy in the other half of my floor would end up, screaming and banging the wall because he couldn’t work the doors to get through the security locks. He couldn’t figure out how to use the app or the code or open the door at the same time is pushing the security button. This was really a horrible situation that was not dealt with appropriately after somebody else reported him. The bathroom was always clean; and we seem to work out rotation for showers and toilet. However, there are very few hooks and nowhere to place your toiletries or makeup. Most of the young women were putting on make up daily. I would not recommend this place for older women who have issues with arthritis or balance or joint issues, unless you requested the bottom bunk.

I love the location of the Hostel. It’s located near several restaurants, grocery, and Transportation options. The staff at the front desk were all wonderful and took care of any issues that may have risen.

The Hostel can be extremely loud, not allowing us to sleep. There were a busload of high school age males who were on my floor and the floor above me. They proceeded to run up and down the hallway, just about all night long, pound on the walls. When the group discovered that it was keeping us up, they went to the floor above our room and started pounding on the floor for a couple hours nonstop. There was a fist fight in the outside, relaxing area, but the staff did take action afterwards.
