Traveller's reviews and ratings
Super expérience à l'auberge ! Personnel super sympa, très aidant quand on ne connaît pas encore Londres ! J'adhère totalement à la déco de la salle commune (billards, canapés en cuirs et lumière tamisée). Petits bémols : éviers bouchés dans le salle de bains des filles, pas de wifi dans les chambres, pas assez de lumière dans les chambres.
bon accueil, petit dej bien, grande salle de détente interieure, pub dans l'auberge calme et sympa (personnel agréable et d'une grande aide de renseignements!),
Petit bémol dortoir de 15 dans une pièce un peu petite...
Mais séjour agréable en définitif.
Très satisfaite de l'Arsenal Tavern Hostel ! Les locaux sont propres, les salles communes sont accueillantes. Le personnel est simpathique. Il y règne une bonne ambiance. Le choix proposé pour le petit déjeuner est satisfaisant. Le seul bémol serait pour les matelas qui ne sont pas assez épais, après un trop long séjour on peut avoir mal au dos. J'y retournerais avec plaisir !
Impeccable home. Timetable flexibility (there is someone 24 hours a day). On the other hand, have balls kies, because Windows are thin and there are quite a lot of passage overnight in Street (line bus...).
own establishment dormitory women small but quiet, sanitary clean, home has it all time, large common room, and breakfast.Correct quality-price ratio.To reach the Center it's easy by bus and on the way the british museum, I recommend
Very good stay, good hostel in zone 2 and easily accessible, staff welcoming and very available household made every day, ideal for backpackers, rather nice included breakfast I recommend
geniaaal! excellent for young people, must be attention to hygiene l
Me and a friend had reserved 18 nights in this youth hostel.
It is a 5 min about the Finsbury Park station and rather well placed between the bus passing on this street and other small shops (hairdressers, laundries, bars, convenience stores, etc...).
We were a bit surprised of the home in the hostel which was fast and cold. Especially that one must also pay the total stay in cash and immediately. We were in a dormitory at 9 with a bathroom. The dormitory is really very small, so limited space for luggage. The dormitory bathroom is also very small and hygiene is really unsatisfactory... Not to mention that on our complete stay was the bathroom light functioning almost never it is said once on three. We were forced to either take our showers outdoors or in black full (no Windows in the bathroom). Nights, to just pray for asleep before all the buzzers. I am not the hygiene of the beds because I don't even know if the sheets are changed...
The main hall of the hostel is very nice! A large space with music, TV, and billiards (£1).
Wi-Fi is a disaster! If you want to browse quietly, just at the time or there is a person or time or internet market. Such as the shower, once on three... Obliged to ask the receptionist to resolve your computer that will well walk for 1 day then back to the galley!
Despite this, a very cosmopolitan Street and quite nice.
If you have many, I think this is a good place because several hostel is much more bearable and eventually we spent very little time. More thought out there that stay there.
Ah! Small note for girls who do not like the heavy guys: one of the receptionists to a penchant for listening to and paste all the girls. On the other hand if you're a guy and you are in need, you can go brush you! Two other receptionists are very cool to sides of it!
Very nice hotel in a very nice area, near shops. Regarding the hygiene of toilets and showers, it remains correct compared to some hostels. The only flat: the beds... Too small, which burst open and the mattress too late. Please note that sheets were not changed when we arrived, then provide your own sheets and pillowcases.
The hostel, for money is very good.
The common areas are the best of all, lounge and hall very extensive in that they can do whatever you want.
The people are incredibly friendly and help you in everything they can.
The room in which I stayed was very very very small, despite having 9 beds. The beds are not as comfortable in the world but are not bad.
The only downside I put is to the baths, which in the majority of rooms are shared with others (boys separated from girls). The showers are very small and uncomfortable. It was not the best time of the day but hey...
In general, recommended taking into account its price!
Horrivel esse lugar os banheiros sem agua quente e sem agua, tratamento zero os funcionarios extremamente mal educado, sujo, até pulga tinha.
Higiene Falta total em tudo muitos clandestinos than foram trabalhar moram the cheio of pessoas but velhas nao é um lugar de estudante ever faith, nao is pode ficar No. bar a noite, nao is pode ler um um livro em nehum lugar, As cams sujas o bairro extremente para extranjeiros as nao possui condicoes. Esse lugar é uma pensao nao albergue ainda por cima os homens entravam our femininos been banheiros tinha pagado nove noites e IAD na terceira! NAO recomendo nem pro meu cachorro!
Nice hostel, was very well placed, easy find after the Metro, calm but even a few businesses.
The staff is pleasant, the own premises and a ground floor with sofas and pool cool rest day.
Small flat, ptit lunch step very varied. Finally it is a hostel, beds are not very spacious and it sleeps a 9 in a dormitory, but it is the concept and the report quality price that really worth.
I really loved the lounge downstairs, it was a great place to use your laptop and have any meal you wanted. All the other supporters are friendly and great to chat and sit with. Staff always helpful, food in tavern cheap and good. Quite happy with the room and my bed, I was never worried about the cold weather outside, because inside the hostels were really warm!
A pleasant, well placed, hostel despite some large faults.
The 25% on the menu are a good take. I was in a room without window, 10 m ² with 9lits. Very hot, ca pete, ca ronffle etc...
No place to ask his clothes before the shower, prefer cross the corridor in slip. Small dej limited to mie bread, butter and cereal, with coffee or tea. Staff very nice! Safe for a deposit of £ 5. Be careful for your business. The Chiken Chow Mein from Chinese of beside rips for £ 3. Beer for £ 3 a tavern, unable to return with alcohol purchased elsewhere...
Opportunity to Check Out before the planned date + refund.
A good experience for the price!
Enjoy
El albergue está muy limpio y el servicio No. está mal. Para lo barato es está genial, tiene lo justo para lo que hemos estado allí. El desayuno incluído consta de tostadas, cereals, coffee y te; no es a desayuno 5 estrellas pero repito para lo que pagas está muy well. Creo que lo más important in a sitio of estos es the limpieza y la seguridad y en ambos aspectos está muy well. The taberna es cara aunque te hagan descuento pero tiene an al than 1 libra por jugar billar, y luego para cenar o tomar algo mejor ir a otro sitio más barato. La calle está cafeterias plena misma y sitios of comida rápida (chicken, fish and chips...). Tienes dos estaciones de metro muy cerca, a unos 5 minutos andando Arsenal y a poco más has Finsbury; Embassy in líneas rápidas hacia el centro. Por último, to aqui to opina del albergue pero esa misma calle hay una taberna llamada The King's head that tengo than recomendar, para ser London es barato, ideal para una guinness antes de acostar tomarte. A sitio tranquilo, buena música, personal muy amable, ES eso if, ambiente no tiene porque es el típico viejos para ver el fútbol bar. Tanto el albergue como esta taberna his muy recomendables.
The hostel staff were friendly and helpful the beds were not made up fresh after people when they left however. Pretty sure it was there I got attacked by bed bugs but not certain as I had in staying a few different places while looking for a room to rent.
Internet connection could only be got in downstairs and sometimes not at all cause too many users so that was annoying.
Breakfast was good as there was no kitchen in this hostel also annoying. The people staying there were friendly except for the drunken guy that came into the room at 1 in the morning thought he was going to get a heart attack then when he finally got into bed my god the snoring of him and talking to himself I didnt get much sleep that night. I did get to see the Emitates stadium that was so cool about a 10-15 minute walk away near the Arsenal Tube station.
All in all just think they should def ok CHANGE the bed clothes after each guest.
very good
If you want a hostel which encourages you to go out at night, this is it!
Let me explain: - less than 5 cm mattress thickness allowed direct contact with the iron of the structure of the bunk bed slats, - the cleanliness of the mattress... Non-there were not clean. It has seen women in household come change the sheets of the parties in the morning, but say I change! They have simply passed the hand on the sheet (if you can call it a sheet) to the dust. I suppose to prices if down at night, it must be to save on the machines of laundry... - the House was not sucked during the stay - showers were quite own when one considers that there was no room for change. Therefore is it changed directly in the shower cabin to clearly completely soaked (since clothes have drag on the ground), or is dressed before everyone. Little for me...
At the time it was continually flooding by Earth, finally... The days where there was water for the shower-toilets were not cleaned during my stay (5 days) - breakfast: Classic, without however I put a star because the hostel is well located, that the home was good and that there is no curfew. But this does not exceeds the bad memories that I care.
My conclusion of the stay: refer never.
Linen not changed our arrived...
Step of Pillow available in one of the beds reserved...
Small dej neither fact nor to
Excelente estadia com pessoal extremamente atencioso. O único problema era o sistema de internet sem yarn, com um sistema instável, caindo a toda o momento.
Quartos e banheiros limpos, bom café da manhã para um hostel. Funcionários bem treinados e educados. Recomendo!
Excellent hostel for the price. The bedrooms are full but every one was very respectful and quiet, so we could sleep easily. The bedroom and bathroom was pretty clean well. The breakfast was offered. And, it is not far away from the center of London, if you want to visit. Great opportunity really, I would recommend it to everyone.
The residence is very well passed it! 3 Friends, we were in a room of 12 girls. The impression of being in a holiday camps! Bunk by 3 beds, wc in the room with a shower, but for the respect and other sleep have gone shower on the level. At night the atmosphere is fun, especially in the grand salon.
Good quality/price ratio. Well located for public transport (not even 1 min from the bus and 5 min from the Metro). The common parts are relatively clean (this depends on the vacationers). Friendly staff.
Only concern, unable to ventilate the rooms (when for example 15 in the dormitory and 7 Danish reek sweat and beer, I tell you not odours). And not cooking... However the pub restaurant is at reasonable price and good quality and the small cool around the youth hostel restaurants even if neighbourhood a little fear.
Quite okay. Toilets were very dirty and so were beds.
very good!
Hygiene approximate but due to the bad behavior of vacationers!
No possibility d aeration naturally rooms (finally pr room mixed 15, the other I don't know), and 15 in a house I is not drawings you!
Well make flip-flops and charlotte pr girls who do not wish to be wet hair...
Otherwise Nice hostel with its pub below, conso not very dear and reductions on the restoration!
Nearby public transportation!
Not bad for small restaurant nearby!
Can pay in cash, cards blue are not accepted, the hygiene of the bathrooms and toilets were not great. Bed rather small and comfortable including rather breakfast good.

un peu simple mais pour le prix difficile d'avoir mieux.
j'ai eu l'occasion de changer de chambre, celle de 9 correcte mais celle de 15 c'est la même surface alors je vous laisse imaginer la place avec les bagages au sol impossible de circuler. les douches ne sont pas dans un très bon états non plus mais pour 3/4 jours ça peut passer.
un petit casier fermé a clef par réservation mais une bagagerie gratuite.
