I think this hotel is the best in the same price range. Cause the atmosphere they have is open and friendly. I have stayed at some hotels in London, it was like an 8-bed dormitory. Most of them are like a prison. But here is not like that. So nice living room, dining and something. I recommend it here strongly.

As a solo traveler, I had a fantastic stay at Saint James Backpackers. The hostel's central location made exploring the city easy. The rooms were clean and comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The staff was friendly and helpful, always ready to offer tips and recommendations. The communal areas were well-maintained and provided a great space to meet other travelers. Overall, I highly recommend Saint James Backpackers for solo adventurers seeking a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Awful hotel experience. Only booked because of its ratings on Trip.com and because the last accommodation recommended by trip.com was a good one. Accommodation and bed was indescribable, with insects in bed, dirty bedsheets., broken bed. Will have to focus on ******* and other places before looking at trip.com again for accommodation. Couldn't even sleep. Would not recommend.

Nice garden and they got free breakfast, but just need to queue for so long if you want some eggs or pancakes and sausages from them. Be careful of your food you put in the fridge, it will be taken even you put the name on it!
