A bit on the expensive side but it's really nice now that YUGO has taken over, repairs and renovations are constant and the management is miles better, solid 8/10 read more
When I moved in, my studio was not as clean as it should've been. I ended up having to clean the bathroom + the kitchen sink myself upon first entering! Months after I'd moved in, I found old, used makeup and underwear behind some drawers from the previous student in residence. As I'd been there for months, I was apprehensive to report this to staff. The management changed from 'CRM Students' to 'Yugo' half way through our tenancies, and overall the experience has been better since they've switched, as they now have secure parcel pickup (rather than raking through a box to find your name!) however this could also be improved as the reception is not open often enough to collect the parcels, especially if you are out at university all day or at work. The main assistant at the reception is Jules -- and she has been incredibly helpful and kind throughout my stay, but I believe the overall *way above* management is what lets the accommodation down. Also FAR too expensive!! read more
Not bad overall choice for individual students and great location for easy travel and amenities. read more
Definitely not the best run accommodation out there but not the worst. On site staff are nice enough but management is a pain and overstep the mark on occasion in my opinion My biggest gripe is it's just so d*** stuffy and hot all of the time. Even during winter I had to leave the windows open because it was so hot in my room. Fire alarms are also far too frequent and it gets annoying. Bars nearby might sound like an upside to some but if you value your sleep drunk people yelling to one another just outside your window every night doesn't help. The accommodation is very near the train station though so if you need to travel a lot and can deal with the above issues it might be worth it given it's pretty affordable for the space you get, read more
