Amazing studio. Stayed at leicester code students and loved my time there so much I stayed another year! The staff are so friendly and always there to help with anything. If you have any problems the maintenance is really great and fast. My studio was amazing to live in as it was really spacious and light thanks to the large windows. My favourite thing about code is definitely the staff and how friendly and warm they all are. Also how good value for money it is!

Amazing studio. The studio is worth it for the money and additional facilities are so helpful to clear the mind from the stress of studies. Staff is very helpful and friendly, in addition security is also good 24/7. There are events from time to time organized by the accommodation which is a great way to socialize and enjoy.

I love living at CODE. The location is great, as I have an on-site store in the building and only need to walk 3 minutes to uni. The staff in the office is always friendly and happy to help me with any questions I have. Also, guests don't need to be signed in or out which is very convienient! But what I mostly like about CODE is their free events! I really enjoy attending grab & go events, quizzes and cooking classes! :)

This place is a scam. It is close to impossible to get back your deposit. If you're moving in make sure you take pictures of how you found EVERYTHING even small things because that was my biggest mistake. I was missing some miscellaneous items like a lid for a bin as I just assumed there wasn't one, I brought my own small bin anyway. Yet I ended up getting charged for that and a bunch of other things that wasn't in the room when I arrived. The price for replacing these items were also more that they usually cost, so it's 100% a rip off. Plus, like many other people, I am being charged for a new mattress despite it being left in the exact same condition as I found it. I know this as I used a mattress protector underneath a fitted sheet and a bed sheet, but it doesn't even matter since I spill anything. I am so annoyed as I feel like I threw money down the drain. I am still fighting it, but I’m nearly certain I won’t recieve my full deposit.

I couldnt get back my deposit due in 2019 until I come back again in 2022, they charged me 2xx pounds for 'damage of room facilities' Also the 'Tenancy Fee 100 pounds' paid upon booking was not refunded to which didnt mention on the tenancy agreemnt that will be taken by Landlord at last. Think twice before booking this accomodation.

The site is always kept sparkling by the on-site cleaners. You get a sense of how large the site is when in the games room which is very spacious and modern, adjoining to it is a communal kitchen where students can gather to eat meals or have a couple drinks before going out on a weekend, the outdoor area acts like a balcony and is very spacious with plenty of options to sit down in summer when its warm. The study rooms offer many private places to study alone or in groups rather than being cramped in your room constantly. The staff are friends and are always ready to help you when needed!

I chose to live in Code Coventry during my postgraduate course at Coventry. I wish I stayed here during my BA course! This is by far the best standard of accommodation I’ve stayed in, and I’ve stayed in 2 different types of accommodation in Coventry. The studios are spacious, affordable and comfortable. The communal areas are also great and a nice place to meet new people. The staff are really friendly and it is a safe place to live. Christine at reception/parcel collection is always lovely and friendly. Highly recommend Code if you are looking for a place to stay during studying at Coventry!

Honestly, I don't even know where to begin. Reading all these reviews on here and other sources has made me realise I am not alone in thinking code is a terrible student accommodation and would suggest everyone to stay away from this place!!!! Let me start when I moved in, promised a "clean" and "ready" apartment to move into!! the studio was absolutely filthy! I was unable to properly move in because the whole place was covered in dirt. The mattress was dirty and stained, clearly previously used, luckily, I had my own mattress topper. When I reported this, they told me they would get straight to it, therefore I just cleaned the bed without unpacking to be able to sleep. Several days passed and still nothing done about this. They did not care at all and left me having to buy loads of cleaning products to intensively clean the studio. The place was very warn down once cleaned, I noticed a lot of marks and issues created by either previous tenant or builders. I reported these issues
