Studio Room. I am really impressed by the accommodation and facilities offered here at Palamon Court. It is so central and right next door to the university library. The space offered is generous and well kitted out. The rooms and the whole building have been thoughtfully designed and I have had a comfortable and enjoyable year here. We were all affected by the pandemic but life has gone on and the staff have all been really professional and friendly. I feel the room offers good value for money and I am glad I made the decision to stay here. There are some good social spaces and study areas provided, with a gym and 'cinema' room. I would recommend to anyone to stay here and if you are undecided, then I don't think you will be disappointed if you do.

recently the Decoration outside effect internet working
It's quite good overall, just didn't expect the construction in public area this year, which makes me could not open the window and have fresh air. Also, the wifi is unstable that it always disconnected.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We fully understand that the construction works have had an impact this year and appreciate your understanding with the necesseity of these works. Please come and speak to us about your window and we will come up with a solution to help you. We recommend contacting ASK4 if you are experiencing issues with the wifi - their 24/7 support team will be able to sort this for you in no time. Thanks again, Diba
Awful place, awful designed rooms etc what's worse is they will lie and tell you anything to get you to book a place. Huge regret coming here, don't make the same mistake I did.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We are so sorry to hear this, we really do try our best to offer the best experience for everyone. If your reveiw relates to the current building works, we understand that they have had an impact and we have done everything we can to minimise this. We have offered all communal spaces to be booked out exlusively so you can study elsewhere. We have not had feedback about our rooms being awfully designed before, please feel free to let us know what you thing could be improved and we will do what we can. We may be able to attend and our on site maintenance team can resolve this issue for you, so please do let us know. Again, we are sorry you regret coming here, please reach out to us and we will do everything we can to help make the last few months more enjoyable for you. Thanks, Diba
The reception + maintenance team are all really lovely and supportive. Staying here during the lockdown/pandemic year has been nice + quiet despite the circumstances. The rooms are average size but the furnishings etc are in really good condition + modern. Only issue really is the WiFi so you may have to upgrade + if you live in the studios, your weekly laundry expenses can b expensive.
Hey, thank you so much for your review. We are so happy you have found the whole team lovely and supportive!!! Our internet is provided by ASK4 and they are excellent at resolving queries or issues, we recommend everyone to contact their support team in the first instance so they can be helped right away. Our laundry prices are in line with all other student accommodation in Canterbury however we know it does add up when you are doing weekly washes. There is a great laundry shope within walking distance and you may find this offers better value if you don't mind the 10 minute walk. Thank you, Diba
Staff are very friendly and offer support! However, in terms of living conditions the rooms are good but the Fridge size in an en suite or 2 bed apartment is unrealistic as it is not suited for any person/student. There is no space to freeze any frozen foods! you can only fit a small carton of ice cubes and that is it. meaning you constantly need to either buy fresh or store cupboard items which is more expensive! especially for students. If you would like a sizable fridge, sharing a room with 4/8 people is more viable. Therefore, in terms of value for money it is too high for realistic expectations. FOR STAFF: PLEASE CHANGE THE FRIDGE SIZES!! THEY ARE MINI FRIDGES FOR STORING SNACKS OR DRINK!!
Hello, thank you for your reveiw! We are pleased you have found us all friendly and supportive, that's what we aim to do! Sorry to hear you found the fridges small, there is a limited amount of space in the 2-bed apartment kitchens and we understand it can be tough when you both want to use them. We do have a fridge freezer in the party room, if you want to use it please pop down and see us and we will gladly help you. Thanks, Diba
The experience has be wonderful and I have loved living at this accommodation. The staff were always so welcoming and approachable.
Hello! Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate your kind comments. We are happy you have had a great experience with us :) Thanks, Diba
The accommodation is one of the best place I have lived throughout my 5 years in the UK. Palamon would even do better if you can improve your mail system. I have seen that you have communal mailboxes and if you use them instead of having to sort through every letter every time a tenant ask for, it will reduce your workload and be convenient to tenants as well. Additionally, it would be better if you could have an IT system that would handle tons of packages of tenants received each day. I don't know how they do it but in other accommodations I have lived, there will be a mail informing tenants when a package arrives. And when I picked it up, I had to electronically sign it off on a tablet to make sure that it would not be handed to the wrong person or get lost.
Hello, cheers for your review and feedback! We are delighted to hear that this is one of the best places you have stayed in, that is great to hear. The parcel and letter process does take time, but it also means we get a good chat with our residents and we would definitely miss that! We will of course take your feedback on board and look to bring in a mail / parcel management system when we can.
Comfortable to go anywhere in Canterbury.
