The Hostelz.com Review
St. Christopher's Inn - Newquay is perfectly located for summer sun-seekers and surfers! It is located within twenty meters of the beach, which regularly has good swell. The hostel mainly attracts tourists -- mostly the surfer crowd -- in the summer. The hostel is located nearby the main drag of bars in Newquay.
The hostel offers four-, six-, and eight-bed dorms, and even in off-season they are quite pricey! Checking in is a painless procedure, however the stairs to get to your room are quite daunting! The dorms are clean and some have fantastic views over the beach. Beds are a bit creaky though! The hostel itself is clean and has spectacular views from the bar area.
One letdown about the place is that there is only one shower per floor, and we think only two showers overall The showers are relatively clean, but it takes a while to get a hot shower. The two showers per floor can be quite annoying if there is a line in the morning. Breakfast is somewhat of a letdown also -- the staff struggle to get tea and bread out for the guests, which is very frustrating. Do note, there are no parking facilities. All in all, a cheap place to stay, and most likely the best central location you will find. It's ideal for surfers.

Awful service. Thugs welcome The place was disgusting, the room smelled of a mixture of beer and urine. Now we know why it was the only place with beds! Shocking. If you try to highlight the problems the management get really obnoxious. — Mark , English (2008-09-04) Brilliant loacation, staff, rooms, bar, everything was great! Just been down for the weekend. Had such a brilliant time! The staff were lovely. The location was brilliant! I even got used to the coldish showers! Couldn't have chosen a better place to stay! — Kim Moore-Tabb , England (2008-05-27) Awesome this place was quality, definitely recommend it to anyone, very close to the beach and great views, rooms are a good size as well. — JJ , England (2007-07-11) Amazing! I have already posted this on many sites but it really was! I had such a good time down at St. Christopher's after i went home, i returned back the next day!
A lovely atmosphere, nice views, amazing location! Fab food, and most of all fab staff! Jez (the manager), Dan, Tony, Ted, and all of the others were ace, and made my holiday much more fun! So cheap, but so good! Would stay here again! — Kayleigh Price (Adams) , England (2007-05-02) went for a hen doo! wicked time -- planning my next trip there. — beth , welsh (2007-04-24) I wasn't staying in the hostel, I visited the bar for lunch and don't think i have ever been served by such a rude, surly bunch of people in my life, the bar was also filthy dirty and so were the tables. The miserable waitress bought our food over and plonked it on the table along with all the previous customers mess on the table. I could not believe that a place with so many members of staff wandering about could be so dirty and neglected. The barman was rude and difficult. — Vix (2006-08-14) This place is absolutely fantastic. My two mates and I stayed here and we had the time of our lives. It has a Jacuzzi, night club (downstairs) friendly staff and en suite rooms looking over the surf. I recommend this place most definitely. It has really cute staff as well. — Stacey (2005-02-12) Absolutely fantastic. It made my summer. I had a great time with the friendly staff and can't wait to visit again! Can't wait to visit that hot tub again!!! — Bexi (2005-01-05)
