I stayed at Kingfishers in 2010 and had a great time. Being close to the campus and shopping was helpful. The rooms were more than adequate, I had a single room which gave me plenty of space. The maintenance guy was really helpful and always sorted out any issues I had, well not many of them. Made lots of good friends at Kingfishers, great memories!

Before the new manager came, I think everything is great. The man manager is welcome and could remember you very soon. Every time when I came to take the parcels, I do not need to tell him who I am and he will give me the right one. But he left the office and I need to say the new manager is not very good as almost every day she came late and went early and the office no longer take our parcels anymore. Further, the manager is often not at office. Forget everything inconvenient, plz feel the room like your home.
