Amazing place for students of all kind to enjoy. The staff are extremely helpful and polite, and go above and beyond to make your halls experience.
This place is the best place to stay location wise. Friendly staff, clean rooms and there is barely any negatives to give about this place.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Host. Its prime location in the city center was incredibly convenient, especially with Aldi just a two-minute walk away. This made grabbing necessities a breeze. Additionally, the proximity to bus stops made commuting to school hassle-free. Overall, a fantastic choice for students looking for convenience and comfort.
Very nice staff on site who will help you immediately. Loved living there.
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. The team are always on hand to help and we are very glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Wishing you all the best, Host. 27 Magdalen Street

27 Magdalen Street has exceptional amenities, such as recreational facilities, a dedicated study area, and cozy living accommodations. The crew is very proficient and kind, with Emma, Hayleigh, and Sara standing out as really outstanding. The building is strategically situated in close proximity to the city center, train station, and Osborne Street, giving quick access to crucial bus lines. The student wardens provide vital aid in the event of lockouts or small problems. The location is optimal for a pleasant and convenient stay. I am fortunate to have amazing flat mates that really enhance my living experience here, making it very unique.
Although it’s located a bit far from the campus, it’s close to town and the train station which is important considering that all amenities in Colchester is located in town. You can go to the campus by taking a bus right in front of the building anyway. The staff is amazing, always helpful. The size of the rooms are okay for one (if you’re a couple, they also have studio rooms too), and the rooms are furnished modern. The best part is: it’s right next to Aldi (the perfect supermarket for student budget!). Highly recommended for those who are looking for a safe, modern building close to town.
Amazing place to live with nice people around.
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to review us! We are very happy to see you are enjoying yourself and the place. Best Wishes, Host. 27 Magdalen Street
I am so comfortable here. This modern apartment features a sleek design. With its convenient location and updated amenities, it offers a comfortable and stylish urban living experience.
Thank you for the glowing review! We try to make all of our students feel as comfortable as possible, it is your home away from home. It is such a pleasure to read such lovely comments. Kind Regards, Host. 27 Magdalen Street
The facilities at 27 Magdalen Street are great. The common room has various activities such as a pool table, darts, football table, and a Playstation, making it a hub for socialising and relaxation. Additionally, the study room offers 24/7 access, providing an environment for focused studying away from the living quarters.... Speaking of living quarters, the ensuite rooms provide both comfort and privacy (with a lovely large window for sights), while the communal living room with a TV enhances the overall homely ambiance. The staff are brilliant! I cant fault Emma, Hayleigh, and Sara! Emma and Hayleigh have that special personal touch and will remember your name or flat number, making parcel collections easy! Sara is such a hard-worker and keeps the place in nick order of cleanliness and maintenance. Also, the student wardens are very friendly and are such a great help in the evenings or weekends when there's a lockout or minor fault!
Good apartment with excellent staff

Do not not stay here. The staff anc company could not care less about you as a student and will only take your money regardless of the circumstances. I was unable to cancel my contract even before my move in day and was forced to pay for my accommodation in FULL during the lockdowns despite never being able to move in or step foot in the building.
