we stayed at the Arsenal Tavern during our stay in London for 3 nights. the nights were cheap, the rooms and bathrooms were clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the hostel is not far form a Underground station. Of course the hostel is not new and "beautiful" but i think you get the best value for your... More

The hostel is in a good location, within walking distance of Finsbury Park underground but unfortionately that's the only good thing I can say about it. The rooms were filthy (are they ever cleaned?) and I got fleas from the bed that I was sleeping in. The rooms were too hot and no air con or fan. The staff were... More

We had a shared room with bunk beds (3x3). It was really difficult to climb up to the top bed and come down, especially with other people's luggage all over the floor. The room was cramped with no place to put your luggage, except on the floor which made it difficult to walk around. Oh well, we didn't even bother... More

Good location and very close to Arsenal Underground Stop.Also there is a bus station near the hostel that takes you down town. The rooms don't look that good, but they're clean.

I spent tree nights in the hostel with my girlfriend. The first in one shared room with shower and WC. I was a nine beds room, but we where only five. It's a good choice if you don't mind to sleep with people that you don't know. I booked this room the same morning on internet. The next two nights... More

An atmosphere of sh&ttiness prevails. Everything is shi$ty: ROOM was incredibly damp and stuffy, and smelled of sweaty socks. 15 people in a cramped space of maybe 30 m2. The windows probably haven't been opened since 1993. I dont think anybody cleaned it throughout my 5 day stay. Which makes SLEEP pretty difficult, even if in a room of 15,... More
