The City Arcade is in a great central location, a stones throw away from supermarkets, gyms, and other required facilities. The university is a 30 minute walk which is great. Every Wednesday there is a pizza event which is always welcome.

Had a great time at The city arcade so far. Great location right in the city centre, walking distance to nightclubs and supermarkets! The manager on site is always very useful and even helps after hours. Definitely recommend for any student looking for accommodation.
The City Arcade is in a great central location in Exeter with excellent on-site management. The facilities are very nice, and modern as well as having brilliant social spaces and easy access to laundry/bike storage facilities.
Amazing location, amazing amenities, amazing staff. What more could a student want from an accommodation? I find the manager onsite, Mr Aziz, to be the most helpful as he always helps me with any issues I may encounter. 10/10 would recommend to a friend
Living at The City Arcade for my second year accommodation has been a great option in regards to a stress-free environment, at the centre of Exeter town so very close to local amenities as well as beautiful spots: the Quayside, the Cathedral, Wetherspoons! The management has been infallible, the central manager is very accommodating to any requests or maintenance issues that need attention, and is very pleasant to speak to when collecting our post! Providing free Dominoes pizzas for the residents every week has been very influential in socialising with others living in the building, and I have used the common room for studying on multiple occasions which has provided a quiet, spacious and distraction-free area to go to complete my studies. My room is very clean, spacious, and safe- with a fantastic heating system so I can control the temperature of my bedroom to come in after being on campus. The City Arcade is a great place to live.
The city arcade is in a great location, the manager is extremely helpful, nice and readily available to help with any problems you might encounter. It is very reasonably priced for the room and common area size.
The City Arcade is a great place to stay if you're a student in Exeter, the town centre and the gym is only less than a 5-minute walk. You can find all your essential stores and grocery shops within a quick walking distance. The manager is very friendly and the kitchens are quite spacious and homey. I've lived in the City Arcade for about 2 years now, and it truly feels like a safe home. The only thing I would note is that the prices keep going up each year- almost by 30%... which seems a little bit of a leap, considering the facilities stay the same. They also offer summer tenancies which are a great option if you need to stay in the city over the summer holidays. So far the people I've met have been really friendly- you could even book a flat with your friends if you'd like :)
Good. .
Great room, great location. Building manager Aziz is incredibly welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend this accommodation!
Very near the town center and the cathedral. 25 minute walk to campus. The accommodation is really new would recommend.
I really enjoyed my time at the arcade. I like how it’s near the cathedral and near the quay. I also really like the accommodation it’s self. I highly recommend staying here.
Right in the middle of town, extremely convenient. Everything is brand new so it’s very nice. I really enjoyed my time here.
New student accommodation close to the City centre. Shops are close by with only a short walk to the main campus. All the facilities you need are within the building. Enjoyed my time here
Really great accommodation, would recommend!
Great value for money, amazing location near all food shops and clubs etc. Management has been great, any time a problem has come up Aziz has fixed it straight away :)
Nice rooms, kitchens spacious and good for socialising. Management is friendly and helpful.
Pleasant staff lovely kitchens and all round very impressed given COVID.
Overall a very good experience with very nice rooms/kitchens and helpful staff. I would definitely recommend this accommodation
Great location right in the city centre, 5 mins from pure gym, close to the quay and supermarkets. Rooms and communal areas are spacious and the management is excellent.
really lovely bright rooms, lots of storage and spacious! lovely building manager. very close to the city centre which is really practical and easy! had a great experience this year
My experience staying here has been really good, I have no complaints with anything. Great facilities, great management, really nice double bed en suite rooms and good location in the city, really really good value for money! Would 100% recommend to anyone
Property Manager is very good however the other people in my flat are paying around £1,000 less than me for the exact same property as they booked it later.
The City Arcade is a brand new building with bright rooms and is in a very good location. The management are amazing and will always help you if you have any problems and are happy to collect packages when you aren't around. The Internet is very fast with an average of 200mbps download. There is a 1 minute walk to the gym which is cheap and open 24/7.
huge rooms, plenty of storage and within easy access to city centre
The city arcade has been a really nice place to live, being only a 5 min walk from the city centre! The rooms are lovely and bright with plenty of space & storage. Management is great and they'll always help sort out any problems & collect your deliveries. The kitchens are a really light & a great size as well!!
The facilities at the City Arcade are incredible and very modern . Closely located to the centre of town it makes it easy for day to day living. However , the best part of the property is the staff , they’re so helpful with any issues so it’s easy to settle in straight away.
Rooms are really open and bright, the kitchens are spacious and easy to keep clean, management are very helpful with deliveries etc. there is a really nice community feel as it is one of the smaller accommodations.
