Savers Apartment Close to Emirates Stadium!
First Impressions
Savers Apartment Close to Emirates Stadium! does exactly what it says on the tin — and honestly, that’s refreshing in a world of overpromising hotel names. This apartment sits on Hornsey Road in Islington, literally a stone’s throw from Arsenal’s home ground. I mean, you can practically hear the crowd roar on match days, which is either perfect or terrible depending on your feelings about football.
Location & Neighborhood
The Islington location is actually brilliant if you know North London at all. You’re walking distance from Highbury & Islington tube station, which gets you into central London in about fifteen minutes. But here’s what I really love — you’re surrounded by proper London neighborhood life, not tourist central. There’s a Sainsbury’s Local around the corner, decent pubs that locals actually use, and those little Turkish places that do incredible kebabs at 2 AM.
The Space Itself
This four-star setup feels more like borrowing a friend’s place than staying in a hotel, which works perfectly for some people. The kitchen is properly equipped — I’m talking full-size fridge, actual cooking space, not those tiny hotel kitchenettes that can barely handle instant coffee. You’ll find yourself making breakfast here instead of paying London prices for mediocre hotel food.
The room layout makes sense too, though don’t expect tons of space (this is London, after all). But everything’s clean, the bed’s comfortable, and there’s enough storage that you won’t be living out of your suitcase. The Wi-Fi actually works, which — trust me — isn’t always a given in London apartments.
What Makes It Work
Here’s the thing about this place — it’s honest. You’re not paying for a fancy lobby or a concierge who calls you “sir” too much. You’re getting a clean, well-located base that lets you live like a Londoner for a few days. The 8.5 rating makes sense when you consider what you’re actually getting versus what you’re paying.
On match days, the energy around here is absolutely electric. Even if you’re not into football, there’s something infectious about thousands of people streaming toward the stadium. And if you are into Arsenal, well, you’ve basically won the location lottery. The Emirates is so close you could probably make it there during halftime if you forgot something.
Why Guests Love It
The practical stuff matters here — you’ve got parking options nearby (not free, but available), and the transport links mean you can actually explore London without spending half your day on tubes. Plus, staying in a residential area like this gives you a completely different perspective on the city. You’re seeing London through local eyes rather than tourist ones.
Bottom line: if you want something that feels authentic rather than polished, and you don’t mind trading hotel services for genuine London neighborhood life, this works really well. Just maybe check the Arsenal fixture list before booking — unless crowd noise and pre-match atmosphere is exactly what you’re after.
Exploring London blends royal heritage, UNESCO landmarks, and vibrant neighborhoods glowing with golden-hour light.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
