Having stayed at many St. Christopher s Inns around Europe, I can say that if you are a fan of one you are a fan of them all. The Camden location is one of the cheapest in spite of its position in the popular neighborhood just north of so many central London attractions. The rooms here are small, but clean and well maintained, so they are very good value for the backpacking set.

Compared to other London free tour de france video clip hostels anywhere near this price range, the Clink78 has a good, central location.

The Paddington Hotel is an older budget place that is connected to the Royal Court Apartments next door.
