I had an amazing stay here! I have traveled all over the world and have stayed in dozens of hostels, and SJB is definitely one of the best I've ever stayed at! The hostel has a great vibe, with lots of activities going on, but also enough space to just chill and get some work done. The common areas were a vibrant area, with space for everyone to do their thing. While good times are being had, it is not a party hostel. The guests were all very respectful of each other, no excessive noise, everyone cleaned up after themselves, etc. The dorm rooms were quiet and only used for sleeping / resting - as should in a hostel - which made for a wonderful afternoon nap, and good nights off sleep! The beds were okay-ish (not complaining), there was a lockerbox for each bed (bring your own padlock), and the rooms were clean and tidy. The showers were really nice, you rarely find such decent showers in a hostel. The staff is very helpful and super friendly, it is obvious they are having a good time there as well! I have to make a specific point of the best breakfast ever served by a hostel! One staff member makes eggs, beans and pancakes for guests on request?? There are hotels that can't even pull that off. Kudos! They also offer a FREE dinner to the first 30 people that sign up. Of not joining the dinner, you can use the kitchen to cook your own meals. The kitchen is clean and tidy, the staff really keeps on top of it! Besides all of that, fantastic location, fairly quiet and clean neighborhood, close to an underground station that connects you to the rest of London quickly. Last but not least: this hostel is for all ages. From families with young kids, to retirees.. Average age was probably around 35-40. This is absolutely wonderful if you're looking for coziness yet enough time and space to rest! Like I said, not a party hostel, but lots a fun stuff going on :)

Remarkable team employees : Anton, Drazen, Shirley, Shashank, Anna, Yassin, Jack , Pietro, Matias, Delphina, Sarah and the entire team of receptionists, housekeepers,also the hospitable Mrs Alison. Without forgot the grey and white tabby cat Tyson :" Chief Mouser of the British ,Foreign and Commonwealth Saint James Backpakers Office" The hostel is housed in a beautiful Victorian house just a 5-minute walk from Earl’s Court tube station, 500 meters from a Tesco supermarket, with a small Sainsbury’s on the corner, and only two stops from Notting Hill Gate and Portobello Marketwith a spacious outdoor courtyard, decorated with London-style graffiti and furnished with comfortable seating.

The essence of this hostel lies in its team: a group of welcoming and professional staff who consistently go the extra mile for the guests. Anton, with his professionalism and courteousness towards all. Shirley, who generously shares her cooking tips. (The breakfasts at this hostel are excellent, with pancakes, eggs, beans, and sausages prepared live cooking in front of guests.) Tosh, who prepares tasty dinners and leads enjoyable activities with contagious enthusiasm in the hostel’s two large lounges/dining rooms. Special thanks to Shirley, Anton, Drazen, Ana, Yassin, Shashank,Tosh, Jack, Delfina, Matias, and the entire team of receptionists and housekeepers.

Good location - next to the train station, supermarkets; shops, and eating places. There are also buses to get one to sightseeing and other places of interest. Located in a quiet area Another extra extra bonus is free lovely dinners and breakfast. Rare to find a hostel that goes an extra mile by not only offering free awesome dinners and breakfast but also allows residents to prepare their own meals. Nice and well equipped kitchen with big eating spaces extending to the garden. Free teas and coffees are offered 24/7. Members of staff are amazing, very friendly, welcoming, and ever so helpful. Well done.

I stayed at St. James Backpackers in London and had an amazing experience! The entire team was incredibly friendly and welcoming – always helpful and full of good vibes. The place is clean, well-kept, and perfect for travelers looking for a comfortable and chill spot in the city. One of the best things is that they provide food, with breakfast in the morning and again in the evening – such a rare and awesome bonus! Honestly, I highly recommend it to everyone, whether you’re traveling solo or with friends. A special shoutout to Mattias, who was especially kind and helpful throughout my stay. Thank you so much!
