Overview

First Impressions

When I first stepped into Holloway Budget Apartment – 1 Minute to Emirates Stadium – Next to Station – City Center, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know. This isn’t about fancy lobbies or marble floors, but rather a smart, no-nonsense base that gets all the basics absolutely right. The apartment sits right on Holloway Road, and you can literally hear the buzz from the Emirates on match days.

Location Benefits

The location is genuinely brilliant if you know London at all. Holloway Road tube station is maybe thirty seconds away — I timed it — which puts you on the Piccadilly Line straight into central London. What I really appreciated was how this area feels properly local rather than touristy. You’ve got authentic pubs, decent coffee shops, and those little convenience stores that stay open late when you need milk or forgot to pack something.

The Space Itself

The room layout works well for what it is — think functional studio living rather than hotel glamour. There’s a proper kitchenette with everything you actually need (not just a kettle), which honestly saved me quite a bit on London food prices. The bed was comfortable enough, and there’s decent storage space if you’re staying more than a couple nights. The bathroom is compact but clean, with good water pressure — sometimes these details matter more than you’d expect.

Practical Considerations

Being a four-star property, it hits that sweet spot between budget and comfort without trying to be something it’s not. The Wi-Fi actually works properly throughout, which isn’t always guaranteed in older London buildings. I mean, you’re not getting room service or a concierge, but you do get a space that feels like temporary home rather than just somewhere to sleep. The Arsenal connection means it gets busy on match days — which is either exciting or something to avoid, depending on your perspective.

Why Guests Love It

What makes this place work is how it delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. You’re getting practical London accommodation in a spot that actually connects you to the city properly. The tube access means you can be in Covent Garden in twenty minutes, but you’re staying somewhere that feels like real London rather than a tourist bubble. For the price point and the connectivity, it’s honestly hard to argue with — especially if you appreciate being near one of the Premier League’s most iconic stadiums.

"Great place to sleep for concerts at the Union Chapel, we'll definitely be back for the next one!"
Communication with the Jason was very easy, both through Booking and on WhatsApp - we were due to meet at the property, but due to a work delay on our end we couldn't make the originally agreed time, so we exchanged IDs and door codes ahead of time, and we still managed to make the start of our concert on time.
What could be improved: Nothing

"The room was basic but suited the purpose"
Good location for what we needed, very clean and good communication in advance.
What could be improved: Property was very small, I thought I had booked a two bedroom apartment so was surprised it was all in one room.

"Comfortable stay. Near the tube, Emirates stadium and there are lots of restaurants. Everything is super accessible."
Comfortable stay. Near the tube, Emirates stadium and there are lots of restaurants. Everything is super accessible. The property manager is quick to reply and is kind. The only downside side is the walls are thin and you can hear everything. But aside from that, I honestly recommend this place.
What could be improved: Thin walls, you can hear everything from upstairs and next door.

"Superb"
Great communication from the host, very well placed for access to the tube, shops, and good places to eat. Can also access Islington Assembly Hall by foot
What could be improved: It is placed near a busy road, so do expect to hear a fair deal of traffic

Exceptionally clean communication from host excellent accommodated us into a different flat he had on a different date due to a concert being cancelled 10mins walk to Holloway tube station plenty of shops and restaurants around
What could be improved: Laminate flooring very squeaky and one of the flats was on the front main road so was a little bit noisy would benefit from usb plugs as I took my watch charger and couldn’t charge it

"Superb"
Very good location, clean, everything you need from the accommodation.
What could be improved: Very loud noises from the neighbours after 10 p.m., especially the ones renting above. The staff did react and tried to help, but still a bit annoying and disturbing the night sleep.

"Good value for money"
The Property is good value for money. We stayed one night. It is quite closed apartment but still good value for what you are paying for a family.
