I’ve only been living here in this accommodation for 2 months or just over, it’s a bit expensive but it’s doable. It is at a convenient location. I can’t complain too much because I’m barely in. I love my flatmates, it’s a student accommodation so it’s expected to be loud on Friday nights and weekend even though it is bloody annoying and I’d wish they’d shut up because some of us have work in the mornings. The security is lovely, the people who run the building are lovely but I would expect more from what we’re paying

Very nice accommodation great location in brighton. Dedicated parking spaces for students would be great but understand there isn’t much room for it. For the price it would be nice to have regular cleaners in to clean kitchens for example

I am a second year brighton student living in hollingbury house. it is situated in an amazing part of brighton very safe, however not much parking for visitors. it is only a short walk from the main road through brighton which has the main bus routes on to all universities and into town. sainsburys is a 5 minute walk and aldi 10. rooms are spacious however mine was visibly not cleaned before I moved in and there was also mouldy food in the fridge. there is also only 3 washing machines and dryers for a good 150 students. staff are very attentive and so helpful if you have a need any time of the day. overall it is very expensive for what you get but it’s a safe and friendly environment to live in so thank you:)

I am a second year student studying in Brighton, and I wanted to stay in halls and I found hollingbury house, it has a welcoming and friendly environment which makes it easy for me to be myself and talk to other students who are not in my flat. There are also a lot of events planned for all students which is a nice way to socialise. I would highly recommend this accommodation to any student studying in Brighton as there are transport links close as well as supermarkets within walking distance. Overall Hollingbury House is a great place to live!

I am a first year student at the University of Brighton. I was a bit anxious about looking for my second year accommodation. Hollingbury House were the best regarding price, location and many other. Alice is one of the staff working there and she helped me regarding how to apply and what to expect and what are the services they provide. Can't wait to move in this Setember! 😊

Thank you very much for your review and for choosing to stay with us at Hollingbury House!
I’m an international student and I was nervous about moving to a new place without family nearby, The Hollingbury staff were so welcoming and caring from the moment I got here. The staff were so helpful when I had problems/issues that needed to be resolved. The location is convenient, the bus stop is close, thereby making it much easier to navigate everywhere. It is a safe and clean place to spend one’s university experience. The study spaces are perfect spots to stay late to grind and also, the wifi works fast! The lounge is also a good place to socialize with my friends! I definitely recommend this place to all students.
Thank you very much for your review and detailed feedback. We are so happy to hear you are enjoying your living experience at Hollingbury House, and we will be sure to pass your lovely comments on to the property team!

Thank you very much for your lovely review. We are happy to hear you are satisfied with your time at Hollingbury House! We will be sure to pass your comments on to the property team.
Perfect location between the city center (direct on bus) and Moulsecoomb Campus (15min walk), at 5 min of walk from Sainsbury’s and the bus stop. The staff is lovely, they are making the accomodation feels like home, especially when you are an international student or live far from your family. They are always up to help in any case, no matter what! The communal area is perfect to socialise and meet people, the kitchen is good (with a dishwasher, oven etc.). For the on-suit bed room the big desk is really convenient as students and the big shower is ideal. I recommend this place a 100% (Side note, depending on the side you are you may here the train passing by)

Staying at the Hollingbury house for a second year shows what a great place it is to live for students, Having also booked for a third year, it back up my case. Its main selling point is the location of the house. The staff is out of this world, kind, helpful, generous and fun.

Fun approachable staff and clean compact room
Many thanks for your review!
The staff here are incredible! Very helpful, 10/10! Dan is amazing and Alice is great and very friendly! The only con would be the sink as it is very small however I don’t think that can be changed :/ It is quite a pricey accommodation but the location is perfect as it is right between Uni and the city centre.
Many thanks for your kind words and helpful feedback! We will be sure to pass your comments on to the Hollingbury House team.

Dan and the team have been absolutely amazing when it came to aiding me with rebooking my stay at hollingbury for the upcoming academic year. Don't usually write posts but they were very sincere in making sure that I was all set and comfortable through the process of booking up until my move in day and beyond.

Hollingbury house is a fantastic property, The rooms are small but are much nicer than most! The Ensuite bathrooms are good however do not come with any bathroom bits (toilet brush, bin) the kitchen is a lovely space with superb set of kitchen appliances, a fair amount of storage and a very nice table area (it’s a higher bar style so it’s very spacious good for large numbers in a flat). The staff are so unbelievably lovely and are super welcoming and helpful. The location of Hollingbury House is situated well with an Aldi, Sainsbury’s and Co-op within moments from the halls. The centre takes 30mins to get to and the seafront maybe 35 mins. From Sussex and Brighton University it’s a walkable distance but also the 25 bus service runs from the bottom of the road to the uni’s. The reasons for not rating the social spaces and events higher is due to Covid not because they aren’t there. I would highly recommend this property to any students looking for accommodation when coming to Brighton.
Many thanks for your detailed and helpful review. We will be sure to pass your comments on to the Hollingbury House team!

Hollingbury House is a lovely home away from home, located in a great area with good links to the city centre. The staff are absolutely amazing and very friendly, and always offer help when needed.

great student accommodation with helpful staff
Thanks so much for your review! We'll be sure to pass your comments on to the site team.
I feel safe to stay here during the Christmas and the new year. First of all, there are not many people staying onsite so, I am not worried about the social contact problem at all. Meanwhile, I can feel that the staff here care about us a lot, like there are treats on the table, the posters keep updating in many areas, frequent maintenance repair, parcels sorting and the bike storage has been a lot cleaner than I just moved in.
Thank you so much for your review. We will be sure to pass your comments on to the Hollingbury House Team!
Abodus Hollingbury house is a right place for the students and all staffs and manger in the reception especially Dan and Edit are friendly and kind to us and giving support to us with many safety measures during this pandemic. Since I have been staying in this accommodation and I don’t regret to stay in this accommodation because this is not only place for me to stay but also they provide us with some social activites and celebrations such as Christmas party and cooking program on Zoom. Therefore, it is like a place for students to have social life with each of flatmates in this COVID 19 period. As for the safety measures, Abodus give a huge support to us like social distancing in the building or if you go to common areas we need to wear masks and so on. They sanitize public place such as the lift and door handle. All in all, I am happy to stay in Abodus Hollingbury house and it completely different from the places I had stayed in the previous year."

It's a preeety good *chefs kiss*
The reception staff and Maintenance Staff are amazing and very kind
The location is very good, the staff in the apartment is very friendly and helped solve many problems. I hope to have a pleasant staying experience.
The kitchen is way too small for 8 people, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful (they were very quick to act and professional when I ran into issues with another tennant). The location is fantastic for any student (brighton or sussex). There is an Aldi or Sainsburys near by as well multiple 24hr corner shops and multiple pubs. However, the price is very very steep for what it is (even for Brighton prices).
its a very nice place for socializing with fellow students. but too expensive
the place is one of the cheapest accommodation in the area so i believe you get what you pay for
Too expensive for what you get, the rooms aren't very big and you get limited storage space for clothes etc. Many people in my flat were very anti-social and could barely say hello to me. Staff aren't there on the weekend so you can't get post delivered on a Saturday as there is no one there. The kitchens are okay but instead of sofas they have these weird leather bench things which are really uncomfortable and instead of a table and chairs there is an island unit with bar stools. Also the building is next to a busy main road which is very loud, I can't open my bedroom window without hearing loud traffic noises. Only good things is that is close to Brighton uni (10 min walk) and close to Sainsburys and Aldi as well as close to bus routes into Brighton centre.
So far I had a wonderful experience, with great spacious room and a wonderful staff. The location is very good and can easily access shops and to universities. The amenities provided are good. Can increase social space and activities but so far so good. I wish cleaning service of some kind can be provided for the money. Other than this I am having a good time. There could little improvement on the kitchen area regarding the gire alarm and the smoke exhaust so that the alarm does not go off frequently without an actual fire.
Amazing location if you are studying at Brighton university’s Moulsecoomb campus or Mithras House. Close to town, shops and travel services.
