St Christopher’s has been accommodating groups of ten or more across the UK and Europe for over three decades. Every property carries dedicated space for group dining, gathering and sleeping and a team that understands the difference between a large booking and a genuinely well-run group stay.
Group Benefits
From private dorms to dining and a bar worth travelling to on-site, here are six reasons why hundreds of groups choose St Christopher’s every year.
Private rooms and private dorms
St Christopher’s offers a mix of en-suite private rooms and exclusively hired dorm rooms, giving groups the flexibility to find a sleeping arrangement that works for their size and how they want to travel.
Complimentary breakfast
All group bookings at St Christopher’s include breakfast at no additional charge, giving every member of the group a proper start to the day from the moment they arrive.
Dorms from intimate to large scale
With dorm options scaling from four to twelve beds depending on the property, groups of any size can find a sleeping arrangement that fits both their numbers and their budget.
Located where it matters
Across London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Barcelona, Edinburgh, Vienna, Bruges and Newquay, St Christopher’s properties are positioned at the centre of each city, within easy reach of transport, attractions and the streets worth walking.
Catering for the whole party
From packed lunches for a day out to three-course sit-down dinners on site, St Christopher’s can feed your entire group without anyone leaving the building to find a restaurant that fits thirty people.
Bar and event space built In
Every St Christopher’s has a fully licensed bar available for private hire, with late-night programming, live entertainment and dedicated event space that most accommodation providers simply cannot offer.

Everything a group organiser needs to know
St Christopher’s has been taking group hostel bookings long enough to know which questions matter most. What follows covers the practical details: room arrangements, catering, and arrival logistics, so that by the time you get in touch, you already know what you want.
We aim to be as flexible as possible when it comes to group ages. Restrictions vary between properties, so the best approach is to ask when you get in touch. One consistent requirement across the network: all under-18 guests must travel with a responsible adult or appointed group leader
Once your group booking is confirmed, a non-refundable deposit of 10% of the total invoice is due within 5 working days. The balance of 90% must be paid at least 28 days prior to arrival. Payment can be made by bank transfer or card, including Visa, Mastercard and Switch.
Keeping groups together is a priority. We aim to house your group in the same room and on the same floor throughout your stay, with no shared dorm space with other guests. Any specific arrangements can be discussed when you get in touch.
The offer varies from property to property, so do not hesitate to ask when you enquire; we are here to make your trip something worth remembering. Across the network, groups can take advantage of bike rental, free walking tours and pub crawls, as well as daily events in the bar. Most properties also have dedicated space for private events, conferences and group gatherings, so whatever your group needs, it is worth asking.
Parking facilities are not available at most St Christopher’s properties, as the majority are located in city centres with excellent public transport connections. The exception is our Vienna property, which does have parking available. For all other destinations, our team can recommend local parking options nearby.
If your group is arriving before 3pm or needs to leave luggage after checkout, please let us know in advance. Luggage storage is not always guaranteed, and a fee may be involved, so early notice gives us the best chance of making suitable arrangements for your group.
