Arsenal Tavern Hostel Reviews

If, they are able to provide boiling water for coffee and hot water will be great.

It was a good experience, but the rooms were very cramped and there was not enough room for the amount of beds. Other than that, it was ok.

Excellent communal place, with good WiFi signal, pool tables and stuff. The breakfast included in the place is life-saving, and the staff are nice and friendly. The rooms is the standard in hostels with bunks of three to fill the space to the max, but one good thing is that we had our own toilet inside. The showers could be cleaner, anyway.

I liked the staff working in the hostel and the fact that they served breakfast every day (simple, but good for the start of the day). Pub in hostel is great idea, nice that hostel guests have discount. Atmosphere was nice. Location - very good, a couple of minutes from tube station (Arsenal), the surrounding-OK. I didn't like the hole in the window in double room and poor quality of showers. Price is quite high when you compare it to other european hostels, but UK is expensive generally.

i stayed in a hostel and searched on gumtree for a room... during that week, i was getting cold and the stuff gave my toilet peper rolls and thank you

when i come to london i always stay at arsenal tavern hostel. it is right near arsenal and finsbury park tube. close to the city. good comfy warm beds. Every time i have stayed here Azat and Fabrizio have been awesome. they kept mail for me for when i arrived. they saved me a bottom bed even when the room was full when i arrived and always went out of their way to help me and show great hospitality. thanks guys. see you next week sometime.

Connection with pub that doesn't allow people to drink their own alcohol is really poor. That is what hostel makes popular to travelers, drinking and hanging around in common room! One out of four staff wasn't nice, but others were really kind and friendly!

it is not clean and you are not allowed to drink alkohol.

It is a good hostel that very suitable for the football fans to stay after watching an Arsenal's game. Good location, cheap price, a good place to go

It s decently clean, for an arsenal game it's the PERFECT location, the girls who work there are super nice, the bosses treat them unfairly it seems. Free breakfast but dont expect an english one hahaha. get your earplugs and eye mask and you be ok. I stayed in a 12 bed female dorm.

The biggest problem of this hostel is that they have 3-floored bunks, which makes the room very noisy... In addition, it makes the room to be very crowded considering its space. I think it is a nice stay for backpackers, i.e., people who do not want to stay there a lot of nights. It has a good environment, and everything a backpacker desire. It is also close to a lot of amenities, such as LIDL, in the way to the tube station. For those who look for a long stay, I would advise another place.

We have had a mixed experience here. It all depends on what room you are put into, and with what sort of people. If the others are messy, put their stuff everywhere on the floor and do not bother showering, than you have to put up with no space what so ever, and a lingering smell. This has nothing to do with the place itself. Some rooms may accomodate up to 15 ppl., but it is a hostel after all. People working here are nice and helpful, location is not too bad, good value for money after all!

I stayed here whilst I was attending London Anime Convention. The hostel was filled with attendees, so it was a great atmosphere. I stayed in a 9 bed room, the mattresses are quite thin. One night it got very cold, but we just put the fan heater on. The breakfast isn't great, just tea, coffee, cereal and toast. The guys at reception were great, very friendly. The spanish cleaners were extremely rude to myself and my friends. That's my only real complaint. Good value for money.

This is a good hostel for young people: dorms and common toilets/showers are clean, the hostel is fairly quiet, and the common area is big and cozy, furnished like a pub. Price is good, staff is ok. On the negative side: it is a bit far from the tube; the private in-room showers do not work well; the common area does not have a proper kitchen, but only a microwave and a refrigerator.

Rooms were crammed, they had triple tier bunkbeds which 3 to a room. You had to pay to use their towel which was strange because I've never done this before at hostels. On the upside there was free breakfast and the price was fairly cheap for London.

its was really nice place, its easy to take tube from there and have a nice neighborhood. Its was clean and good breakfast.

I was living in a 9 beds ensuit room, 3 levels bunk bed with very thin martress and tiny size. The bathroom show head is broken without fixing for a week( I think over than that). Window is leaking cold air into the room. Some people living there for long time. They has not provide a kettle, no kitchen at all. The lounge is big enough with comfortable seats. By the way one lady lost her stuffs becuase someone stole the key, got inside the room.

Located in Zone 2 for the Tube, just fyi. Downstairs tavern and breakfast were very nice. Rooms were a bit smelly and cramped.

This was a great hostel. Having the bar downstairs was excellent and a lot of fun. The location was a little tough, it is quite a walk from the underground station that they recommend (next time I would take a bus from there) and not near any of the sights. But definitely a fun place to hang out and meet new people.

Staff was very helpful and friendly.The hostel is in good location,clean.”
