GoogleReally spacious rooms with lovely full height windows and brightly decorated to make it feel even more so. Having your own bathroom and kitchen is an absolute blessing but also having the option to use the communal kitchen gives the best of both! The brilliantly sized desks included in the accommodation and the communal study spaces at the hub also gives the option for solitary or group study. Perfect!

GoogleIf there was an option for zero stars, this place is it. The worst thing you could do to yourself. It's better for you to go anywhere else, than here. Would not recommend to anyone.

GoogleIt is a student accomodation. It provides all types of student facilities for their living purposes. The rooms are well designed and properly maintained. It is also near the university around 10mins walk.

GoogleA newly built Hub for students. Private rooms available to study (you have to book in advance). Vending machines available for snacks. Tea and coffee also available. Studio rooms also available. Lot's of parking space. Table tennis for you to let out some steam.
Quite rooms also available.

GoogleNot recommended to everyone. They will just grasp your deposit money for no reason. they will deduct the whole or a big portion of your deposit for simple reasons.
and with that budget you can get better deals in other places.

GoogleIncredibly greedy accommodation team charging ridiculous rent for the facilities they have. Rooms stink, are unpainted, kitchen is tiny and the fridges and freezers break repeatedly, they target international student as they are less likely to complain about the conditions. Avoid like the plageu
