Amazing accommodation! Friendly and helpful staff, WiFi connection is excellent.
Pretty close by to most commodities, lovely rooms and great spaces within the building. Nothing really to complain about. Definitely worth what you pay for.
An amazing place to experience university with great open facilities and staff on hand all day who are very friendly and extremely helpful with everything. The best gym around all other Cardiff accommodations. 10 out of 10 in my personal opinion.
Great facilities and decent amount of space.
It is so lucky for me to live in Zenith.
Zenith is a great place to live, the staff here is great, close to the city,many activities at the accommodation, good facilities.
The building is lovely, very clean, The staff are helpful and friendly and the location is perfect.
It’s a really great place to live for a student. Everything is so well looked after and looks very modern. If there’s ever an issue the staff are so quick and happy to help whatever it may be. I can’t wait to stay here for the next 3 years!
Perfect one word is enough for zenith
Perfect place to live in. The location and social activities are very great
I've lived in Zenith for almost 6 months now and have really enjoyed my experience here so far. The facilities are incredible and very well kept - there's a cleaner on my floor every single day. The staff are reception are always super helpful too. Notably, Zenith doesn't use laundry facilities by Circuit Laundry as most student accommodations do - the laundry system here is much more reliable. Zenith is on the higher end in terms of prices, but it is 100% worth it.
Great at accommodating before you apply for the rooms! Showed us around and talked about the finances and the plans with the rooms! No pressure and welcoming to any help and advice
This is one of the best accommodations I have ever been at the rooms are comfortable, there are tons of activities to do to strive boredom and has amazing and understanding staff, the beds are really comfortable and I love how close it is to my University
One of the best Student accommodations in Cardiff. The property Management is top tier and has made this a wonderful experience, I have felt completely safe and secure throughout my whole tenancy. The price of the room do not even compare to the amazing quality that’s given. Living at Zenith has made the transition into university incredibly smooth.
It's a wonderful place with a perfect view and all the amenitoes provided are fhe best and value for money. It's located in the heart of city so everything accessible
good atmosphere for socializing
GOOD LOCATION,COMFORTABLE TO STAY AND COURTEOUS STAFF,GOOD ACCESS TO FACILITIES GYM,CONDUCTING SOCIAL ACTIVITIES,NICE BREAKFAST ETC
very good house, central location and staff. out of all accommodations, this is the most based.
Really good student accommodations with safety, many activities to do and large spaces
A great place and good treatment by the staff, and there are also great places to study and places to enjoy activities
Lovely well decorated and well kept flats with modern appliances. Bedrooms are spacious with big double beds and windows with great views overlooking Cardiff. Lots of different rooms to be social in including the roof terrace. A great place to live.
Chose this place very quickly after not getting the halls I wanted on results day. It's amazing, with great facilities and clean and comfortable rooms. I'm in a 5 bed flat which still has plenty of space and feels a bit more like university halls, especially as I requested to live with 1st years. There are always events on but it's not quite the same as living in halls, being a bit quieter but I prefer that.
Good accommodation and perfect location 👌🏻.
The place is costly but you do get a long of bang for your buck (gym, free yoga classes, breakfast, lots of social events and loads of games rooms!). Somethings small things could be better considering the price which would make the price much for reasonable - things like providing proper bins in the flats and including laundry in the price of the rent. But it is a great place to live and is a fantastic location! Staff have all been friendly too :)
It is the best place to live if you want a lively environment and the best student experience. The events that they do to keep you engaged keep you from feeling homesick and also help you meet various people. The staff is polite and always happy to help. The systems that are in place make you feel safe and at home!
The stay was a very good experience. Both the common area facilities and the stay were very comfortable. Especially the gym. It satisfied my training routine and made me more healthy. The front desk staff were very welcoming and gave me a sense of home here.
Myself rahul. I had a great experience in having an accomodation at zenith. I was an introvert until i come to zenith, but the atmosphere made me extrovert. The most amazing one was the basketball court which made me to know the sport well and the gym made me fit enough to stay healthy. I made new friends from zenith and came to know about the real life at cardiff. Thank you so much for providing such environment.
Extremely friendly staff and comfortable environment inside the room!! Good WiFi as well and facilities (like sky lounge and ktv), and according to my understanding, the washing is cheaper than others!
Best place for a student to stay in. Has everything and more that expected. Love the facilities. The accommodation exceeded my expectations
Such a fun inviting place where you’re welcomed by all the staff members. There is also a wide range of fun facilities and in a very close proximity to the town centre
Great friendly environment, the stuff is really helpful and friendly. The social spaces are beautifully decorated and comfortable.
Chose this place by accident, but never regretted, even after a year! When I came to the UK as a student for the first time, I was intimidated but the staff and the atmosphere made me feel like I belonged. I met some of the next friends here! And was helped any time I needed it. The study rooms were spacious and the social spaces always feel alive, thanks Zenith!!
It’s just amazing to be a part of this
The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff is amazing. Every staff member I encountered,from check- in to the cleaning staff were delightful and eager to help.They went over and beyond to help ,make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this accommodation for students. Thank you
Lovely place, but moved in and hob was broken. So 5 of us had to live of takeaways for over a week and was refused any compensation (got very expensive) and they could never tell us when it would be fixed. Great location though, very close to the city. Lovely social areas aswell.
Best Accommodation. Staff were very kind and cooperative. Great facilities and social areas as well. Javi, Dan, Elle, Angela love you guys.
Amazing place to stay with top class facilities. Staff are always so helpful and friendly. The location is super close to the city centre and travel links, and free bike hire means you can get anywhere. Also between 7am and 9am Monday to Friday you get the free breakfast, such a nice touch and attention to detail makes life that bit simpler when you can just grab and go on the way to university. At night you can always find people to talk to and chill with in the social spaces, or if you want some alone time there are plenty of quiet areas away from your room that you can go to as well. It fascinates me who you can meet here, students from all over the world live at zenith and it’s great being able to talk and find out what life is like in different countries and make friends and connections from all over the planet. like to hit the gym? then zenith has one of the most equipped gyms out of any accommodation in Cardiff. Don’t miss out on quality and luxury life at zenith.
Zenith is the best accommodation you could ask for in Cardiff. This review is coming from someone who was so sceptical because of the varieties of student accommodations to choose from. Zenith by far seemed the best at that time and I am glad I couldn’t have asked for a better place. Zenith is home away from home, indeed.
This is an amazing building for students! If you’re looking for a place that feels like home, a place for fun, making new friends and making this an amazing year for you, look no further, choose ZENITH! They offer breakfast during day weeks with juice, tea, coffee, fruits, etc. Bikes for free! Amazing gym 2min away from your room. The staff here are the best and more like a family to us. They’re super kind and would do their best to help you cope and enjoy your time here. On sight maintenance, ready to solve any problem, all you gotta do is report to reception. They arrange events that go on almost every day of the week, from “pampering day” to “coffee brew” to “crafts” to “rooftop picnics/pizza” to “basketball tournaments”.. the list is endless. They have a breathtaking sky lounge, gaming room. Their study area is spacious and you can book your own room to study, with tv and hdmi cables. Would highly recommend to any student coming to Cardiff and trying to find a place!
I have been living in zenith since the beginning of 2020 and I am still a current tenant so clearly I am loving my experience here at zenith. The location is just as perfect, it’s a walking distance to my Uni and everything I need in terms of food shopping and everything else. The accommodation is well designed and very clean. The facilities are just too good to find them anywhere else than zenith. We have got onsite gym, social spaces, rooftop terrace with the nice view of Cardiff bay. We also have group studying rooms which are perfect to practice your presentations and do all the Uni work. We have the loveliest team at zenith and they are always happy to help at anytime. The place is also providing a 24/7 security so you always feel safe at zenith. It is simply a home away from home ♥️
Definitely they best team ever and so easy to talk to! Zenith should be number 1 tbh. The managers are so lovely and if you need anything they will help you. I couldn’t recommend them enough. The facilities are top notch! Everything is super clean. They definitely prioritise the students welfare. This doesn't feel like a student accommodation but a home. So easy to make friends. It’s just a chill environment and I love living here. I was living at Adam street gardens and had such a terrible experience and wouldn’t recommend if you are thinking of booking with them.
Friendly, clean, helpful , convenient and more !
Best student accommodation Ive every lived in!! Zenith has a rooftop bar perfect for sunset lovers and golden hours it also has a game area, a cinema and perfect study spaces overall the facilities are amazing! Location wise its aprox a 5-8 min walk to town and 10-15min to Cardiff Bay, however, you have a supermarket right next door to Zenith and we are also offered bicycles to explore around :) Zenith staff regularly organises activities such as movie nights allowing us to choose the movies or basketball tournaments and much much more.. The staff is great, always helping out and making us have the best experience (especially Angela, always so friendly and helpful). I love the Zenith experience and Very much recommend! Thank you Zenith, will miss you all!
Just like it’s name suggests it doesn’t get much better than Zenith. Top tier student accommodation with great facilities, great staff and value for money. 8 minutes from the city centre meaning everything is accessible to you . The residents are offered bikes to ride Incase they can’t be bothered to walk😂. The social spaces are the envy of every other place in Cardiff. Equipped with a rooftop bar and games area, a cinema, a roof terrace and fabulous study spaces, it doesn’t get much better than Zenith. These spaces are a chance for people to meet and make friends and the administration at zenith facilitates this. It regularly organises movie night and allowed the residents to choose the movie. Administration at Zenith is top notch. They really work to ensure you enjoy the Zenith experience. From things like organising movie nights to organising basketball tournaments. Perhaps it’s the simple things like offering printing help. They are always there for you! 💯 Recommende!
Amazing staff and good care from zenith team.
Friendly and helpful staff and amazing roof terrace.
Great staff, lovely environment, One of the best accommodation I’ve stayed in.
Great location, close to the centre & modern
My time at Zenith was absolutely amazing, I would do another degree just to stay there longer. They were so welcoming and kind I would definitely recommend
Best student accommodation in Cardiff, all staff go the extra mile to help you! 2 minutes walk to main shopping centre :) highly recommended!
Here is perfect place to stay with international students! :) (it is close to city center) ;)
Zenith is located at the heart of Cardiff. I've lived here for nine months now and I wish I lived here during my first year as well. A well equipped gym with a serene study area as well as an awesome lounge makes it the best bet for any student really. The receptionist was amazing and they are very helpful with any questions I have. Big ups to Angela, Javi, Elle and the rest of the staff. Y'all rock!! I highly recommend this accommodation to any student looking for a place to live.
Zenith it’s located next to the heart of Cardiff. I’ve had 2 amazing years living in zenith as a student and I wouldn’t change it at all. Receptionists were actually amazing and really helpful with everything I ever needed Angela is the best tho♥️ I recommend zenith to everyone
Lovely accommodation with friendly staff
Take lot of money for the rent .. and very small rooms ..
Great Accommodation lovely staff
I love the staff at zenith. And I like the breakfast
Zenith-good facilities, lovely staff at the reception But management and building rules are too strict and set for teenagers
I've had an amazing time at Zenith this year, the team feel like a true family! Here's to 22/23, definitely rebooking for next year
Despite numerous lockdowns and differing covid restrictions, Zenith was an amazing place to stay. The facilities are great and the rooms are nice and modern. The staff are by far the best quality Zenith has to offer. They were always on hand to help with anything and are all round really lovely people to talk to. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Zenith is a great place to live, staff were so accommodating and so many facilities and support are available for students, would definitely recommend
The venue was great! Laura was really helpful in getting me in. Very bubbly and friendly.
Firstly, Zenith is a beautifully breathtaking accommodation. It has all of the facilities you could ever want and more. The staff were amazing especially over the past hectic year. Thank you so much to the entire team for making me feel so welcome. Look forward to next year !!
It’s very nice place, all staff are very friendly!
Very nice accommodation! Have a lot of activities for students.
Angela is very helpful! She provides me many good advice during my stay!
She is helpful and kind. She helps me solve many problems.And I tend to believe she is a very responsible reception.
It's a good place to live! The staff are nice and friendly, especially Angella.
Lovely people specially the reception team like Angela and Ewa
Zenith is great! Angela (Spanish) is the best :)
Nice place to live in. Friendly staff and good facilities.
The advisor is so nice!I am so satisfied
Lovely accommodation. Staff were very friendly, but Lauren in particular was a real star. She went above and beyond to help me out, thank you so much!
Great accommodation and fantastic staff! Lauren has been so helpful throughout, really great help with all things Cardiff! Absolutely fab!!!
I have been living in Zenith for one year, I like it very much. I rebooked for next year, great place to stay.
I find the building very well thought out and very easy to navigate. You meet great people in the communal areas. What an experience so far!!
A massive thanks to Ewa for all the help with my tenancy!
Good experience to live here!my best memory in the UK
Great place to stay, the staff there are very helpful and friendly.
I love the facilities they have, and appreciate that Zenith try the best to arrange many online event for us during lockdown!
Excellent place great facility friendly staff, I like this accommodation.
Amazing place to stay, I like it a lot felt like home.
Great accommodation with fantastic facilities and of course staff who is willing go the extra mile to make sure I felt like home.
Amazing place, nice staffs here
The staff are the friendliest and the accommodation provides so many fun activities and events and great facilities. It's location is also very convenient as it's close to both the city centre and Cardiff University. If it's too long of a walk to uni, you can take the accommodation's own shuttle bus!!
I have been living here since the beginning of the year, and the experience has been amazing so far. The staff is very friendly and is always available to residents. The activities organised weekly give us the opportunity to break away from the boring routine of the pandemic and to discover different hobbies. However, my room, which is an essential studio, is the aspect that makes me so happy when it comes to living in Zenith. The room has everything I need and more than that, I have an amazing view of Cardiff Bay and a space where I can even carry out my modelling activities for my architecture course.
Have lived here for over a year! Honestly the social spaces in the building are so unique and fun and the reception staff are so helpful, they really do try their best. The free shuttle bus to the Student Union is always a plus unlike other accommodations where you’d have to walk or get a public bus! Would recommend to any student whose looking at going to University (in Cardiff)!!!
I have lived in zenith for just over a month now, and am absolutely loving it, the staff are so kind and friendly and nothing is ever too much. It is hands down the most beautifully done student accommodation, and the attention to detail is amazing. The free extras are absolutely unparalleled (free gym, free breakfast on weekdays, free bikes, free private bus to the uni). Zenith really does feel like home.
Beautiful accommodation very happy here!
