Unite House Reviews

I am still in complete awe as to how this company can justify charging such an extortionate amount of money for something that is quite honestly a pile of s***. The rooms are small and the bathrooms are disgusting. The lighting in the rooms is a dim yellow glow so make sure you bring lamps. If you’re the sort of person that needs at least 8 hours of sleep to function, rule this accommodation out. Unite House is next door to the O2 academy and opposite 2 nightclubs, and is noisy every night. Bring earplugs! Kitchens are barely big enough for 4 people even though there are 7 in a flat. Only one stove so if someone else is cooking you will have to wait. Furniture is old and outdated and the curtains look like they were donated from a children’s hospital. Wardrobe and drawer space is extremely limited. The only positive about this accommodation is the location. I wouldn’t pay more than £110 per week for this accommodation yet they charge £156.

Had a great time in Unite.

I wasn't accepted into halls, don't accept so many students if you're unable to house them! Was a highly stressful experience and very isolating

Good location, but everything else is average at best

Absolute s***! First two weeks of moving in involved numerous power cuts at random occasions, culminating in a f****** EVACUATION as the fire systems were down, forcing everyone to sleep on the floor in another unite accommodation! (someone's flat FLOODED whilst this was happening!) Complete lack of organisation and a total inability to inform anyone of whats going on. Facilities suck, only two washing machines on my side of the building work and they are always being used (plus is £3 per wash!), chairs in the kitchen have screws falling out of them, the flush on the toilet broke the other day, and now today they are changing the fire alarms because we have been being woken up and made to leave the building at random times throughout the past few nights to faulty alarms going off!! Sure the location is great but its not worth the money at all!

Great hall with lots to do and alot of fun!

It all depends who you live with in this hall - I was very lucky with great flatmates but I know other people have found it quite isolated because they don't get on with theirs. It's luck really.

Unite house has been one of the worst places I have ever lived. Nonstop noise from the O2 academy and the awfully designed courtyard at night and then constant noise from the building works which don't seem to ever end. They try and squeeze every penny out of you to live in their oversized toilet of a building and I hate it. Everything is broken and although maintenance is kind of quick, you'll be seeing them again tomorrow because something else will have broken. F*** this place if I'm honest and look somewhere else.

Location is fantastic and very close to uni, shops and everywhere you will spend your time. However very expensive considering the size of rooms, kitchen only cleaned once every two weeks and building work next door is very very loud and have been offered no compensation or apologies. Fines at the end of the year are also extortionate (eg £100 to re paint a wall which are easily marked by Blu tac). Not at all good value for money but very good location

Great location, makes all the other slight negatives (e.g. cost, not a great common room) worth it
