Thank you for your positive review. I will be sure to pass on your kind words to Aga and Clarence. Battery Park Team
I have been at Battery Park for 2 years now and it has been amazing. The staff are very helpful especially Josh, Agnieszka Nicola Warren and really friendly. The rooms are really spacious and modern and maintenance are very prompt in resolving issues. Thank you for a great experience and I look forward to continue staying next year!
This accommodation has the best events. One of my favourite ones was the Boba tea giveaway and the pizza party. I love that they make you feel so welcoming.
Very good room size and space, including plenty of storage space. The only thing I can think to critique is the shower size, but it is definitely enough room considering the rest of the flat. Great kitchen, with lots of storage space. Really lovely common areas downstairs, can book rooms to use for study with friends, and lots of social spaces. I love the cinema room to play games together with others (connecting via HDMI cable is great). My experience with the maintainance team has been positive, as they sorted out any problems with heating, broken rails, and flat door locks quickly.
Wonderful residence with the utmost attention to cleanliness. Staff are caring and polite and will go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.
Josh and Nicola are the best! They are always welcoming and good at their jobs
Great look and value for money

Thank you for your positive review. Battery Park Team
Great place to live, love the location! Josh and Nicola are amazing and very welcoming every time I see them. Going to miss Battery next year!
It is so modern and clean!!! The staff are also super helpful and nice ( Especially Agnieszka, Josh, Nicola and Warren!!!! The best) Will defo recommend to people.
Battery park is a nice and calm social space to be in - there's also study spaces which is convenient. Staff are friendly as well - especially Josh.
Josh is very great at the front desk!!
Josh is pretty cool, always makes me feel at home on reception, helped me with a tricky situation with a flatmate. Always can rely on him for safety and good conversation!
Recently, I had an injury and the site team at Battery Park were very helpful with well-being and ensuring when I returned to the property all was well and expressed they were willing to aid me in any way possible. This aspect of concern to me was really important. The general service is always top-notch, always able to get parcels, speak to someone if there’s an issue, and maintenance is always sharp.
The staff is amazing especially josh and nicola. They always provide the best input for places to visit and restaurants to visit. They have been so welcoming and have made this a secondary home. I have specifically enjoyed my experience here because of them. They are always enthusiastic and excited to provide their assistance.
good and nice apartment, will recommended to my friend. The room deserves its price even though the studio rooms are little bit expensive.
Very good apartment with a big Sainsbury’s, to university and city centre are convenient. There have bus stop and train station in front of the building.

Thank you for your positive review. Battery Park Team
Josh is a asset to the team and is fantastic and so helpful. And has excellent medical knowledge cos he helped me with a casualty The whole team is amazing

Thank you for your review. I will be sure to pass on your feedback to Josh. The Battery Park Team.

I LOVE BATTERY PARK. RECEPTION STAFF ARE MY FAVE, NICHOLA IS AMAZING!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for the positive review. We are delighted you love it here at Battery Park. The Battery Park Team
I've lived in this flat since my first year of university and will graduate soon. Battery Park is the best accommodation around the campus. For example, the flat is surrounded by a well-established community, such as supermarkets, clothing shops, restaurants, bars, etc. The interior of Battery Park is spacious, the furniture is new, and the flat has all the facilities, including study rooms, entertainment space, a printer, and 24/7 security. It is worth noting that the rooms have very large floor-to-ceiling windows, which allow for plenty of light and good ventilation. The staff at the reception and the maintenance staff in Battery Park were always patient in helping me with my problems. As an international student, living in Battery Park will be one of my most cherished memories of my time in the UK. Er

Good Evening, Thank you so much for the positive review. I'm delighted we have been able to provide a great experience for you whilst residing in Birmingham. Kind Regards Battery Park Team
Ive really enjoyed my experience here and I love staying at Battery. The team is amazing and i really enjoy all the events they have.

Hello, Thank you so much for the positive review. Kind Regards, Battery Park Team
It’s great I must say amazing it’s actually great

Good Evening,Thank you so much for the positive review. Kind Regards, Battery Park Team
Best place to live with the staff being so nice and location infront of the lake being good

Good Evening, Thank you so much for your positive review. Kind Regards, Battery Park Team
I’ll be sad to leave this accommodation, it’s perfect. Location is perfect, nearby to a supermarket, accommodation is amazing. Couldn’t complain. My only issue is that the wifi doesn’t work in the kitchen very well and the laundry room is sometimes annoying to use as sometimes people will leave their laundry in the machines. But overall, I love this accommodation and couldn’t recommend it anymore than I already have

Good Evening, Thank you so much for leaving a positive review for Battery Park. I will be sure to raise the concerns however around the Wi-Fi and arrange some communication over the laundry also so ensure a better experience for the rest of your stay! Kind Regards, Battery Park Team
Battery park is in a really good location which is quite close to the supermarket. Besides, the infrastructure is quite new. They have a bright and large bedroom for people who live here.

Good Evening, Thank you so much for the positive review. Kind Regards, Battery Park Team
Excellent staff , lovely place to live

Hello, Thank you so much for the positive review. We are delighted you like Battery Park and appreciate our brilliant team. I will be sure to pass this on to everyone on site. Kind Regards, Battery Park Team.
Condition of room was underwhelming when I moved in, with visible dust and dirt everywhere. The strength of the shower head was weak and the shower drain was blocked. Thankfully, repairs are provided in reasonable time given the amount of issues during move in season and the public holiday for the Queen's funeral. Noise from traffic and next door is barely an issue, but living next to the kitchen is a bit annoying given how loud the door slams. There is a lot of social space and common areas, which were put to good use during welcome week. The large study space and leisure facilities like the movie room made me look forward to living here. However, laundry could be an issue with there only being 6 washing machines and dryers for the entire building, with a couple displaying an error message already.

Good Morning, Sorry to hear of the issues you experienced during checking in to Battery Park. I'm pleased we were able to resolve these issues promtly for you, but we certainly do not intend for our students to check into those rooms in the first place. I will be sure to speak with our Laundry provider to arrange for the machine out of use to be rectified as soon as possible. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we hope you enjoy your time at Battery park this year. Your Battery Park Team
It’s being a nice time.I highly recommend it…..

Good Evening, Thank you so much for the positive review. It means a lot to the team to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us so I will be sure to pass this on. Kind Regards, Battery Park Team.
It is located with convenient access to every amenity. Sainsbury's is next door, with other stores about a 5 minute walk away at most. The Sports and Fitness Centre is further down the same street. Campus is an 8 minute walk down the canal. The room I got, 810D, Block B, was clean, spacious, and modern. It had thoughtfully placed outlets, a huge amount of storage space (including under the double bed), and the floor to ceiling glass pane provided a lot of natural light. The kitchen is similar. However, the ensuite bathroom is a little cramped. Staff are always ready to help at the reception, and there is also overnight security. The social spaces including the snooker and pingpong tables, public and private study spaces, are all kept clean. Laundry and rubbish can be handled without having to leave the building. Special thanks to Josh, Claire, and Tony, for making my already great stay at Battery Park that much better. (And also Hall Rep Dexan for the fun events and TON of free food)

Good Evening, Thank you so much for your positive review of our Battery Park accommodation. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us. I will be sure to pass on your thanks to Josh, Claire and Tony as part of our property team! I will also pass on your comments to Dexan who as you say has been incredible this year. Kind Regards, Battery Park Property Team.
Recommended for any first years coming into University of Birmingham. Close by the shops and has reception to collect all your parcels.

Hey, Thank you so much for your positive review. It's really apprecaited and I will be sure to pass this on to the property team. Battery Park Team

My year at battery park was very good. I felt safe in my accommodation and the staff was very welcoming and helpful. The social spaces were always clean and it was in a great location.

Very great social spaces with great ambience. The rooms are quite decent and a very lovely view overlooking the canal. The location is also great with the train station, Sainsbury, Aldi and many food outlets just at the corner. Totally recommend.
