I spent two very happy months there. The place is beautifully decorated, in the common areas, and very effectively set up in the rooms and studios. It is well maintained and the staff were helpful, attentive and always willing to help. If I had to find a place to live as a university student I would not look any further.

Great accommodation! Spent my 2nd year here and wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. They held loads of great events to get to know other people on the building. Also gained loads of freebies too. The facilities and staff are so nice. The study room was perfect during exam season and the location makes life so much easier with food shopping, train station and bus stop right outside.
