I booked a storage unit with Holloway…


I booked a storage unit with Holloway Safe Store for only one week. I paid for that week, but I never actually used the storage unit at all.

Despite this, I was charged for an additional week without being clearly informed. I have now been contacted by a debt collection company demanding another £120.

I am extremely unhappy with how this has been handled. In my experience, the contract and additional charges were not made clear to me when I booked.

Please be very careful and read the contract and cancellation terms carefully before booking with this company. I would strongly recommend checking exactly what you are agreeing to and whether any additional charges can be applied.

This has been a very stressful and disappointing experience.

Great service from Safestore New Cross…

Sue and the team at Safestore New Cross have given me exemplary service. I was running late to check into my storeroom. Sue waited on to ensure that I had unloaded before leaving. No panic no fuss, just patience and a big smile. Thank you Sue! 🙏🏾🤗

Professional, helpful and compassionate team.

In all our interactions over a period of time, we found the team professional and helpful.

Roshan is always very motivated, compassionate, kind but firm, respectful and patient.

Ana is equally professional, firm, helpful and patient,

When we had a misunderstanding recently, the team were on hand to ensure a speedy mutually acceptable resolution.

Adam the Manager played a big role in resolving the issue and deserves a lot of credit for managing and motivating a team we are satisfied with their services.

Pretty bad experience

Pretty bad experience, after the contract finishes and you have leave the storage box empty, they ask you for fees, so you end up paying those hidden fees

Hi Roberto, we're sorry to hear about the frustration caused by the fees charged after your storage box was emptied. We understand how important clear and transparent billing is, and we regret any confusion this has caused. We are reviewing our procedures around move-outs and end-of-contract charges to ensure this is communicated more clearly in future.
