Holly House London  

Budget hotel, very basic room, bathroom tiny but functional. Clean and comfy beds. Continental breakfast fine. Good location for Victoria station. Booked originally as it offered free cancellation. Adequate for a one night stay.

This room was dire! The train/underground line is at the bottom of a very small garden, about 50' away and they ran all through the night. The Bathroom was so small and dirty. There was a access panel under the basin that would not close, this looked gross. One electric socket actually sparked when we plugged in our mobile charger. The headboards on the twin beds were so dirty and black along the top. One headboard had a cigarette burn in the middle of it. We didn't try breakfast! There was a smell in the whole room. Outside the room there were 2 large rolls of carpet lying up the stairs glad we didn't have to attempt to climb them. Not a good night and thank goodness we only stayed one night.

never stay here unless you ghave slept in the streets for years and someone offers u a night here... and you in the lobby!how about saying fu**ing hello when guests arrive..service at its poorest....

Our room was quite small and so was the bathroom (make sure you use the toilet before you have a shower - otherwise you'll get wet feet). But that was OK for us - gave us a cosy feeling! Everything was very clean and nice. We slept tight. Breakfast was OK (cereals and toast) and the staff was nice and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay at Holly House Hotel.

It was inexpensive compared to the other hotels to chose from. I suppose one must not expect miracles for pennies. The bathroom/shower was rather primative and there was an unpleasant odor to the room in general. But, I slept better in that bed than I have in a long time anywhere else. Breakfast was scant; cereal, juice, toast and coffee. However, in the end, the hotel was sufficent for my needs. It is in a very convenient location.

Is a great place with a great price. Small rooms, but very clean and it does his job. The location is awesome. It's near the Victoria station, you can go walking to everywhere. The service is good too.

I was pretty dissapointed - in my opinion, the pictures on the web are missleading.The staff was very nice, and the breakfast was alright, but the room itself was in a bad condition... colour and veneer were coming off everywhere, the wet cell was a bit too basic really, and there were noises from alll over the place - I could hear every word spoken in the reception, every person going up the stairs, and I usually have a very healthy sleep.My standards are really not that high but I would not recommend this to a friend... I'd rather spend a couple of pounds more, or find a private bed and breakfast room....

Having read previous reviews, I was apprehensive at staying at this hotel. I had booked it solely because it was the cheapest I could find, it was right next to Victoria, where I was going to the theatre and where I had to board the Gatwick Express next morning, but reviews said be prepared for trains thundering past, cramped rooms, grotty bathrooms and less-than-helpful staff. Thankfully, most of this didn't apply in our case. My daughter and I had booked a twin room, and we were in a reasonable sized room with a double bed and a single bed. The double glazing must have been good, because we could hear the trains but they didn't disturb us at all. Breakfast was basic (cereal, toast, tea and coffee) but OK, as that's all I eat at home. I would have preferred Marmite and peanut butter as a savoury alternative to the jams and marmalade on offer, but I enjoyed my breakfast and the waiter was friendly and helpful. The man on the desk when we arrived was not friendly, I can't say he was rude, but he could smile more and be more welcoming! But the one really bad thing was the bathroom. Our bathroom was in fact a wet room, and very small, so when you turned the shower on it soaked the basin and toilet and sprayed the towels you had to hang on the back of the door. There was a also a bad smell coming up through the drain in the centre of the room. We didn't use the fridge in the bedroom, but would have had reservations about doing so if we'd wanted to, because it dripped constantly, apparently because the icemaking compartment was not working and had thawed out. Howevver, I would certainly use this hotel again for the price and convenience.

good location for area I needed to access. Room allocated was close to a fire door giving access to two other rooms, the constant passage of other occupants was very noisy constant banging of fire and room doors untill early hours.the type of door control furnishings could be of a better quality to resolve the noise.Note: as an ex fire prevention officer I am aware of differing furniture available.thank you would use again.

Hotel was very handy for Victoria Station and looked nice enough from the outside. The room and beds were ok, the en-suite left a bit to be desired,. it felt grimy , a "shiny bowl" would have made a lot of difference instead of looking at the brown water marks inside the toilet. The toilet lid would not stay up so it would "rest" against your back when in use . They would be better removing the lid completely to avoid that. Shower worked and was hot but the water drined so slowly that you could only use it for a few minutes without risk of flooding the room. There was a small lcd tv in the room but you could only see it if you practically stood up on the bed as there was no adjustment to the viewing angle. Would I use it again? Probably not unless thare was no other chioce and it was even cheaper...

Pros: The location is good, right in the center of london.
Cons: The room is a bit noise during the night due to the trains outside

Pros: It was ok, i can not say that was perfect but expected that will be so much worse because of comments on your webside.. we did not have any problem

Cons: The bathroom is little but ok...

Pros: I visited with my mum and daughter as our last night before we left for home. we were not expecting much for a one star hotel but were all very surprised at the quality and service we received. the staff were very helpful and polite at all times.
Cons: The only negative was the bathroom in our room it was a very very small room but the shower itself was wonderful and easy to use.
