Summary of traveller reviews

PubLove @ The Exmouth Arms in London is praised for its excellent location, close to Euston station. Guests appreciate the friendly staff and good value for money. However, some recent reviews mention that rooms can be very hot and stuffy, especially in warmer months, and there are occasional issues with bathroom cleanliness and a lack of power outlets near beds. It suits travellers looking for a central base.

Staff upon checking in were not super friendly or welcoming and it put me on edge after a 30 hour flight. That being said, the staff at night in the pub were a lot more inviting when we did manage to get down there for a meal. The toilet/shower were a bit smelly & very clean, but in saying that they worked and that’s all that mattered. Our room was right next to the entrance so it was incredibly noisey all night & not the best spot to be in. Location was brilliant & room was comfortable.

Most things were ok. Mattresses were not what I would call good, but it was a hostel at a good/cheap price - you can’t expect 3 or 4 star accommodation. Because the bedding was groups of 3 bunks, it would be nice if there was a chair each each room. Otherwise, good value for your money

Truly terrible hostel. 50% of the time the bathroom did not have TP. The rooms were boiling. The vibes were horrific, seems to be full of old men and deeply unsocial. Women especially avoid at all costs!!!
