Liked: I loved the atmosphere of the pub and being able to meet other travellers. The walking tour was probably the best, meeting with Sandeman's at the front desk for the free walking tour with others in the hostel, very easy to meet friends! I liked the free breakfast and the staff were so helpful and kind when helping us with directions and which trains to take!

Disliked: The large rooms and how they let an older man (~55yrs old) stay in a room full of girls. He was very strange and had very weird habits and it was very uncomfortable. The pub, although was great to have so close, was a disadvantage as people may be coming back intoxicated to the room and certain activities in the middle of the night would go on which wasn't the best to wake up to. That won't always happen though. There should be a strict age limit!

Liked: The location is great, just a few steps from London Bridge Underground. Staff was friendly and helpful, rooms are somewhat small for the numbers of beds and there's no lockers, just a cage under the beds where you can lock your bag inside. Wi-Fi works only at the lobby and the computers are very slow. There's a bar where you can meet other travelers, but it's not open until very late during the week. Overall is a very good hostel and I would definitively stay here again.

Disliked: Showers were way too hot and there was no way to change the temperature. It was kinda hard to take a shower, besides the fact that I was in one of the hottest days of the year in London.

Liked: The location made it a great place to explore London from, close to tube stations and a very quick walk to the river.

Disliked: The toilets/showers could be in better shape but considering the size of this place they seemed to always be clean.

Liked: since i was staying in 14-bed dorm everything was ok, beds with linen and breakfast were really good and as i expected! also i liked watching movies in the evening, and the offer for free walking tour is nice detail!

Disliked: maybe more or bigger space for meeting people in the evening ("living room") since it is usually full and if you dont come early you wont find a place to sit. more investment in toilets and bathrooms (especially showers) wouldnt be bad as well, and there are sometimes problems with running water...

Liked: This place is a freaking party hostel. And depending on who you are, that could be the key to an unforgettable time in London or a quick recipe for headaches and lost sleep. That being said, there are a decent amount of amenities at the Inn-Village to satisfy a variety of guests. The connected bar is great to have around on any night, especially since guests get discounted drinks, and there is tons of space to chill out in upstairs and downstairs. Some people will love the cinema room. Overall, I'd recommend this hostel to people because of its great energy, good staff, and wonderful location. There aren't many hostels like this one in Europe!

Disliked: The nights can get really rowdy, and to be honest, I helped contribute. The massive dorms are not good to be in and can turn into zoos during the after hours. The smaller 8 person dorms are a much more solid choice if you want to mix socializing with some semblance of order.

Liked: The chill out room and cinema were a nice addition to the hostel and a great area to meet people. There was a smoking area on the ceiling which you could hang out all night in. Free tours leave straight from lobby. Microwave available for use. Great area to meet people.

Disliked: No kitchen.

Liked: The location is great and I liked the 24/24 hour service. The room my friend and I were in was quiet and clean. The bar/club + the "chilling room" were great - it's nice to have a place to sit and chat outside the actual dorm.

Disliked: While most of the staff was very nice, some of them were plain rude - other than that, nothing.

Liked: I mostly liked the location. It's so close to turistic attractions that you can just walk and spare some money. Also the stuff was very friendly. There is also the bar, and if you stay in st. Christophers Inn Village, you get some discount.

Disliked: I made reservation for 4 dorm room. At the end I finished in 8 dorm bed. Besides that I paid more that I should. When I came, the guy on reception said I have to pay 140 pounds, and the girl next day said that in computer is data that I paid 120 pounds. At the end they gave us money back, but be careful..
