Traveller's reviews and ratings
Moi et un ami avions réservés 18 nuits dans cet auberge de jeunesse.
Elle est a 5min à peu près de la station Finsbury Park et plutôt bien placée entre les bus passant dans cet rue et autres petites échoppes (coiffeurs, bars, laveries, supérettes, etc...).
Nous avons été un peu surpris de l'acceuil dans l'auberge qui fut rapide et froid. Surtout que l'on doit également payer la totalité du séjour en cash et immédiatement. Nous étions dans un dortoir à 9 avec une salle de bain. Le dortoir est vraiment très petit, donc limité en espace pour les valises. La salle de bain du dortoir est elle aussi très petite et l'hygiène laisse vraiment à désirer... Sans compter que sur notre séjour complet la lumière de la salle de bain ne fonctionnait presque jamais c'est à dire une fois sur trois. Nous étions obligés soit de prendre nos douches à l'extérieur soit dans le noir complet (pas de fenêtres dans la salle de bain). Pour les nuits, il faut juste prier pour s'endormir avant tout les ronfleurs. Je ne parle pas de l'hygiène des lits car je ne sais même pas si les draps sont changés...
La salle principale de l'auberge est très sympa ! Un grand espace avec musique, télés, et billard (1£).
Le wifi est une catastrophe ! Si vous voulez naviguer tranquillement, venez au moment ou il n'y a personne ou au moment ou internet marche. Pareil que la douche, une fois sur trois... Obligé de demander au réceptionniste de régler votre ordinateur qui va bien marcher pendant 1 journée puis retour à la galère !
Malgré cela, une rue très cosmopolitaine et assez sympa.
Si vous venez nombreux, je pense que c'est un bon endroit car à plusieurs l'auberge est beaucoup plus supportable et finalement on y passe très peu de temps. On pense plus à y sortir que y rester.
Ah ! Petite note pour les filles qui n'aiment pas les mecs lourds : un des réceptionnistes à un penchant pour être à l'écoute et coller toutes les filles. Par contre si tu es un mec et que tu es dans le besoin, tu peux allez te brosser ! Deux autres réceptionnistes sont très sympas à cotés de ça !

Auberge très sympa dans un quartier très sympa, à proximité de commerces. Concernant l'hygiène des toilettes et douches, ça reste correcte comparé à certaines auberges. Le seul bémol: les lits... Trop petits, qui craquent et le matelas trop fin. A noter que les draps n'avaient pas été changés à notre arrivée, donc prévoir vos propres draps et taies.

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.

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.
By coline | The 01-24-2012
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!
By Tania | The 11-24-2011
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.

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.

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!
By Angelo | The 07-28-2011
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.
By Manon | The 07-10-2011
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.
By Leslie | The 07-09-2011
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.
By Agathe | The 07-06-2011
Quite okay. Toilets were very dirty and so were beds.
By Leanna | The 06-29-2011
very good!
By Dan | The 06-14-2011
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!
By Emily | The 06-13-2011
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.
