Holloway Suites – Next To Emirates Stadium – Private Bathroom – Shared Kitchen
First Impressions
When I first walked up to Holloway Suites – Next To Emirates Stadium – Private Bathroom – Shared Kitchen, honestly, the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know. It’s one of those straightforward London places that doesn’t try to be fancy — just delivers exactly what it promises. The building sits on Seven Sisters Road in Islington, and you can actually feel the energy from the stadium even when there’s no match on.
Location & The Arsenal Connection
Here’s the thing about staying this close to Emirates Stadium — it’s brilliant if you’re an Arsenal fan, but even if you’re not, the location works really well. You’re a short walk from Finsbury Park station, which gets you into central London in about 15 minutes. The neighborhood has that proper North London feel, with local pubs and cafes that aren’t trying too hard to impress tourists. On match days, well, you know what you’re signing up for — the streets buzz with red and white, but that’s part of the charm.
The Room Experience
This three-star setup is essentially apartment-style living, and my room was actually more spacious than I expected for London. Having your own private bathroom is honestly a game-changer — no awkward hallway encounters in your pajamas. The shared kitchen arrangement might sound a bit communal, but it’s well-organized and clean, plus you’ll save a fortune not eating out for every meal. I mean, London restaurant prices can be brutal, so having somewhere to make your morning coffee and store leftovers is genuinely useful.
What Works (And What Doesn’t)
The Wi-Fi is solid, the heating works properly — which matters more than you’d think in London — and there’s decent parking nearby if you’re driving (though honestly, you won’t need a car here). The place feels secure and well-maintained, though don’t expect hotel-style daily housekeeping. It’s more like staying in a friend’s flat, which some people love and others find a bit too independent. The shared spaces stay surprisingly tidy, probably because most guests are just using it as a base for exploring the city.
Why Guests Keep Coming Back
Look, this isn’t about thread counts or room service — it’s about value and location in a city where both are hard to find. You get your own space, your own bathroom, access to a proper kitchen, and you’re minutes from both the stadium and excellent transport links. For the price point in this part of London, that’s actually pretty impressive. The place attracts a mix of football fans, business travelers, and tourists who’ve figured out that staying slightly off the beaten path often means better value and a more authentic London experience.
