A big group of us 20+ stayed here for one night. Staff were incredibly helpful, we felt well looked after during the whole stay. We had a nice English breakfast. The atmosphere of the pub downstairs is lovely and the location was very handy and central for our trip, close to transport and Camden etc. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Would stay here again!

The Exmouth Arms is a fantastic spot, and Mani truly makes it special! His warmth, friendliness, and attention to detail create a welcoming atmosphere that keeps us coming back. Mani always goes the extra mile to make sure everyone has a great experience—he’s a true gem at Exmouth Arms

The room was unbearably hot.Beer was decent, daytime staff were pleasant.I tried to order pizzas late at night. the guy working said only if we didn’t make a mess outside. I mentioned that if you’re getting paid to provide service, isn’t cleaning up part of that?He then told me the kitchen is closed and denied me the 2 pizzas I ordered.I was willing to pay and would have offered him a decent tip but, he wasn’t having any of it.Extremely lousy service from the evening worker.Doubt I’ll ever return. Very disappointing.

Worst hostel I have ever been to. No common spaces, tiny beds, one (!) single bath room/toilet for a floor of 5 dorm rooms, terrible unsocial atmosphere. Save your money and go somewhere else.

The room is very small for 9 people (I think it's around 14m^2). Also, the window can only be opened slightly, making it super suffocating. The bed size is very small for a standard person. I'd recommend the hostel renovate their room so that there's better ventilation in the room such that allowing windows to be opened more for fresh air to come in. The reception is open 24/7, which is a plus, but breakfast isn't served till 8.15am, so I have to find a place elsewhere to eat. Location is super convenient, but apart from that, I wouldn't recommend staying here if you need a comfortable environment to sleep at night as the room is not sleepable.

Just went to the pub as a meet up with friends for a drink. It's like an oasis in the desert! Lovely old pub, and although not busy at 3pm on a Tuesday it was still welcoming and comfortable and so clean! People we met said the food is good although we didn't try.|Would go again!

If you are planning a very low budget trip this place is for you. Only you should know that both women and men use same bathroom and toilets. There isn’t enough plugs in rooms. I stayed in 6 bed female room last week. Girls were ok, everyone was respectful to each other. I only drink tea at the pub and it was good.

The concept is great. Dorms above a pub and the pub is open 24 hours for residents. There is a wide ranging menu and the service was good. There are 6 beds in each room. The main problem was that the room was really hot and although there was a large fan in the room there were window restrictors which meant the windows only opened a really tiny bit and thus the air did not circulate and had to prop open door with a shoe. No doubt the window restrictors are regulations relating to health and safety. Very well situated for Euston Station.

The Hostel had everything you need for a short stay and it was rather clean. It is very central which was amazing and the service was very good. Everyone is incredibly polite and especially Ali was a big help :)
