This accommodation is good value for London; the room was comfortable and in a nice part of town close to the canal. However I wouldn't stay here again. Nor would I recommend it to anyone, unless they are able to put up with the extremely odd and controlling behavior of the live-in owner. Upon arrival, there was no exchange of... More

Hurrah! An anonymous review, wildly inaccurate, irrational, with offensive personal insults for added interest. Invite people into your home for £40 a night (just about the least you can pay for acceptable accommodation in London) and this is your reward! The author of this review did not stay with me in August 2012 as she claims. There was only one... More

My stay at Thomas's house was very enjoyable. I found Thomas very accommodating with check in and check out arrangements. The bedroom went beyond expectations: very clean, well decorated, well-lit, with a view of the garden The bed was extremely comfortable with proper cotton sheets and a duck down pillow and duvet. It had me very well rested after a... More

Arlington Avenue has been a good experience for me. 7 minutes walk along the river from the nearest station(Haggerston), so a great walk too. The house is elegantly furbished and the rooms are comfy and very clean. The neighborhood is super quiet and the house too. The toilet is well equipped with marble fining and high pressure shower/bath. Not an... More

Back for the second time, as it is the perfect oasis in London. No traffic noise, but so close to buses and a walk along the canal to Angel tube station. Very friendly, very relaxed, and a real feeling of freedom. Double bedroom is the best bet, breakfast is self service but all the more relaxed for that. Decor is... More

This is not a hotel. It's a private house with live in [excessively fussy] owner and only two bedrooms; one shared bath room. Location is out of the way of everywhere. Furniture is eclectic and well used. Low price isn't worth the hassle. No breakfast.

A seriously misleading anonymous review with delightful possibly libelous aspects. The reviewer did not stay at Arlington Avenue in July 2011 as she claims. Why would Arlington Avenue be one of Alastair Sawday’s Special Places to Stay, why would it be recommended by a large number of UK national newspapers, why would it be in the Rough Guide to the...

Booked in as we planned to see the Flaming Lips at Ally Pally - this is a very nice place, a tiny bit twee and a long journey from the bedroom to the loo - bring a long dressing gown - the stairs are steep ! Very good value though, beautifully clean and pretty furniture / comfortable beds ! Long... More

There are no rules at Arlington Avenue. The reviewer has misunderstood. Arlington Avenue is a private house and guests are given keys so that they can come and go as they please. Naturally there are a number of things that need to be explained such as how to switch on the TV, operate the burglar alarm etc. Arlington Avenue is... More
