This place met all my expectations. I share a silver studio with my boyfriend and I am sure it was a very good decision. The flat is so big that we have placed a second desk in it without any problems. The entire building is super safe and student-friendly.

Overall a great living experience that’s really shaped my life during these last 2 years. Met some amazing people and I’m highly grateful!
Really nice and comfortable place to live, it’s clean and has great service!
Very friendly staff with good access to university.
Great studio and good lounge to hang out with neighbours.
It has been an amazing experience to stay in Alma Court. The rooms are very good size, reception staff are very friendly and helpful. Social areas are clean and the building as a whole has an amazing decoration and atmosphere. It would be great if it had a parking space. The only isssue was we told staff our kitchen radiator and it still isn’t fixed, but hey, it’s end of march now. Apart from that, clean, good size and friendly environment.
It has been amazing! Being able to socialise as well at activities as well.
Alma court so far has been a good experience, the building itself is clean and it has a well equipped social common room. It's very close to town and right next to the bus stop to go to both universities.
Amazing. I love it here and wish to stay here again next year.
This place met all my expectations. I share a silver studio with my boyfriend and I am sure it was a very good decision. The flat is so big that we have placed a second desk in it without any problems. The entire building is super safe and student-friendly.
The Wi-Fi turns off randomly in the middle of the day or night
Good Afternoon, Thank you for your feedback. I will speak with Ask 4 who are our internet provider about this and see if we can get a resolution as they have assured us previously there were no issues! I'll do everything I can to make sure they have a look into this ASAP. Kind Regards Alma Court Accommodation Team
Very nice and warm environment. Emily and lauren always available to support. clean spaces and good facilities.
it’s been good and I have enjoyed my time here.
Everything about Alma Court is great. The staff and other residents are very welcoming and are really supportive. There are lots of social and study areas, where wifi is available. There are also events being hosted by the staff, which makes this accommodation special from others.
If you're looking for a place to stay in Canterbury, this is the place to go. It's close to CCCU and Canterbury center, and the bus and train stations are only a 5-10 minutes walk away. Most importantly, the accommodation is really secure, and receptionists (Emily and Lauren) are both amazing and regularly organizing social events that make us feel like we aren't alone at all. I strongly advise you to relocate to Alma Court.
This accommodation is very homie the only problem is the Wi-Fi company that is always under maintenance which causes disruptions other than that socially alma is great and the staff are very friendly and helpful
Very poor maintenance of rooms. Very rude security. WiFi cuts out near enough every week with no service in the flat. Forced to pay full rent when I havent been able to live in my own flat due to a leaking roof.
Worth value of money!! Best accommodation i ever stayed!! I had refer my friends and they love it too!
Great place to live with a friendly & clean environment. The place is loaded with social spaces and plenty of quite study areas too.
- Lovely staff. Very understanding - Clean environment - Centralised yet quiet location. Near all the necessary shops - Friendly people Pitfalls: - WiFi works but 0 service which can be inconveniencing. But still liveable. - Wouldn’t consider the gym a gym. But it is useful I guess.
I quite love this place. There are good services and lovely staffs.
Alma is a great place to live in when choosing an accommodation because it’s affordable and convenient and very spacious modern rooms.
Alma Court is a very nice place where to live as a student. Rooms (studios) have plenty of space, just the bathroom is a bit too small if you are sharing the studio but that’s fine. I love living here
Great place to stay, me and my girlfriend stayed for our first year as it’s one of very few places offering dual occupancy. Social areas and facilities are all great. No parking was the only issue.
It is an amazing place if you are looking for an accommodation in Canterbury. Emily and Lauren, they are both amazing and regularly host fun social events so that the residents meet with each other as we are not on campus. I would reccommend Alma Court and could assure you that the team is extremely helpful. Definitely consider it!
Good Afternoon, Thank you for your lovely review! We are so happy to hear you are enjoying your time here and loving the social events. We have another this Sunday so look forward to seeing you there! (Flyer and email to follow) :)
Couldn’t review the social aspect adequately the main problem is paying the price we do for the social spaces however we can’t use them. The staff are sweet and help a lot as I have poor mental health and have always been understanding.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry the social spaces have not been available as much as we would have liked. We have been following the advice and appropriate restrictions set out by the Government to ensure all Residents and Staff are safe during the pandemic. The social spaces will be open as soon as it is safe for us to do so. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the Residents' Team for more information and updates either by popping down to reception or by emailing us at almacourt@thisisfresh.com. Many thanks, The Alma Court Residents' Team.
Management and people are helpful, friendly and get to know you Social Spaces and gyms are great I love the pre recorded classes to access on Access to weights and exercise bikes The gym would be even better if a running machine, cross trainer and boxing bag was added Arrival could be improved by providing instructions of how to use oven, heater etc A residence WhatsApp chat could be used to meet other people Mold on windows taken ages to be sorted
Thank you for your review. We value your feedback and will look into the issues you have raised. Please note we do have a Facebook Residents' Team for Alma Court. If you would like any more information please speak to the Residents' Team by popping down to Reception or emailing us at alamcourt@thisisfresh.com Many thanks, The Alma Court Residents' Team
It was expensive for what I ended up experiencing. While the accommodation is very well done I’ve had nothing but problems. My wifi regularly turns itself off and the one time it didn’t turn back on it took over a week for them to get someone in, which was a week of uni work missed. The oven in my kitchen blew a fuse and turned all the lights and half the electrical items in that flat off and the out of hours team didn’t deem this an emergency when they wouldn’t turn back on, this happened on a Friday night so I had to argue to get someone out on the weekend as they planned to wait till Monday at the earliest. One of my windows has a small air leak so my room was always cold through the winter and instead of getting someone to look at the windows they just gave me a plug in heater which only made a small difference. The flat is also covered in paint stains from when they were decorating. The walls also seem very thin so it’s easy to hear people banging about in the flats near yours.
Hi, We're very sorry to hear this. If you have any issues please let us know and we will investigate and resolve them as soon as we can. Please contact us if we can assist with anything. Many thanks, The Alma Court Residents' Team
New student residence. Rooms in perfect condition, reception staff highly responsive and helpful.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We really appreciate it. Thanks, The Alma Court Residents' Team.
The pictures on the website don’t do it justice. The rooms are also incredible for storage/space. Environment of the accommodation as a whole is very relaxed which made settling in easy.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're glad to hear you have enjoyed your stay at Alma Court so far!
