Scape is Brilliant and practical for both town and the university of Surrey. The social aspect is brilliant with lots of events going on throughout the year. Having a small gym on site is also brilliant as you don’t have to pay extra for an external membership elsewhere. Highly recommend for anyway who’s willing to pay that higher price for accommodation.

It’s a nice place to be with good staff and ping pong is fun
Hi there - thank you so much for leaving us a review. We are so happy that you are liking the space. The front of house team at Scape Guildford are a great bunch. We have a table tennis tournament coming up, hope to see some of your skills there! Best, The scape Team
Scape is very modern and comfortly located student living space, with perfect team members that always are very welcoming, smilinh and help with packages or other issues, especially I enjoy to talk to Andile Ncube. I put 3 stars for value for money because last year when covid wave started and uni moved us to online, I needed to fly back home and lived in room 120 just for 1 month, and Scape made me just 6 weeks discount even when I took my things and room was empty for whole year, I neeeded to pat for it, any flexibility for customer and situation, even this year when I love jere all the time I was not offered any discount for any term.
Hi there, Thanks for your feedback on Scape Guildford! I’m thrilled to hear that the team are always welcoming and were able to help you with any issues. As for your comments about Covid discounts –that’s great feedback! We really appreciate it and I’ll pass that off to the relevant team. Thanks again, Scape Guildford Team
Scape is a great place to stay, particularly for its central location to both campus and the town centre, and also to Lidl for groceries. I’ve found that the frequent social events have helped me to develop friendships with other students. The receptionists are also super friendly, especially Andile who took me on a tour of Scape on my first day here. Andile is also in charge of the social events which are always well organised with themed decorations.
Hi there - thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. Yes, our location is perfect for Surrey students, with the university just a 5 minute walk away. We are happy that you are enjoying the events hosted by Andile. We want to give students a chance to meet other students and make memories while staying with us at Scape. We are also open to suggestions for events so feel free to throw some ideas our way! Best, The Scape Team
I really enjoyed my time at Scape, it’s at a very nice and quiet location and all the staff here are extremely friendly. They are caring and helpful and make my life at Scape very pleasant!
Thank you so much for your review, so happy that you enjoyed your time at Scape. We are glad this was a friendly and comfortable home from home while you were based in Surrey. Best, The Scape Team
The pride Daniel, Andile and Cindy take in their work is truly inspiring. Queries and problems are dealt with promptly to ensure student satisfaction.
Hi there - thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, and for your kind words. I shall certainly ensure these are passed on to the team. They will be delighted, as we pride ourselves on excellent customer service here at Scape Guildford. We want all students to love their home, and our front-of-house team is integral to providing efficient assistance and a warm welcome. Wishing you a great rest of the academic year! Thanks again, The Scape Guildford Team.
the accommodation place is perfect, while the staff is very great, welcoming, helpful, friendly. I would like to especially thank Liam for his tremendous welcoming and helpfulness. he is a perfect receptionist who is doing his job perfectly with a lovely smile and quick response.

It's so important to us at Scape Guildford that our residents always receive a warm, friendly and helpful welcome - we want you to feel completely at home! Wishing you all the very best for the rest of your studies. Thanks again, The Scape Guildford Team.
I just move into Scape new building and was amazed by the interior design and the facilities they have. The staff were all friendly and were willing to help me especially Andile the new receptionist. She made me feel very welcome showing me around the building and helping me move my luggages. However, I think my room (2 bedrooms) is a little bit small for 2 people. Aside from that, I very happy to be living in Scape this year!
Hi there - thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm delighted you received such great service from Andile - she is amazingly helpful! I hope you've found the shared spaces useful in complementing your studio - and offering a much-needed change of scenery from time to time! We're so glad you love the design at Scape Guildford, and I'm glad the on-site facilities, such as gym, laundry, and cinema were appealing. Wishing you a successful rest of your studies! Thanks again, The Scape Guildford Team.
fast internet, great location, management needs improvement. would not recommend studios. Andile the new receptionist is amazing.
Hi there - thanks so much for leaving a review and for your useful feedback. It is much appreciated and I shall ensure is passed on to the team. We know how important being super close to the university is for students, alongside excellent wifi for your studies. We have a range of options at Scape Guildford, from Studios (with their own kitchen) to En-suites (which have a shared kitchen) so that residents can of course choose whichever is best suited to them. Once again, thank you so much for sharing a review, and wishing you all the very best for the rest of the academic year! Thanks, The Scape Guildford Team.
I am an international student and I lived in Scape Guildford for almost 4 years and I really enjoyed it! The staff team was very friendly, polite and everyone was always trying their best to help sort any issues out quickly for me. I would like to say a special thank you to receptionist Florence for being caring, supportive and kind to me and at the same time for being a true professional! Also, many thanks to another staff member Joshua who was always making a smile on my face!:) Overall, I would highly recommend this student accommodation. They have many facilities such as gym, cinema room, study, communal kitchen and others. The COVID-19 restrictions are also taken into account by management to keep all residents healthy and safe. Already miss this place and all friends I have met there!
Hi there - thank you so much for leaving us such a lovely review. I'm delighted to hear how helpful you found the front-of-house team, as we pride ourselves on outstanding customer service so that all of our residents feel truly at home. It's particularly great to hear how you found the shared facilities at Scape Guildford, as we know how valuable it is to have a gym, cinema, and peaceful study spaces on-site! I hope you're keeping well settling into your new home, and wishing you all the very best in your next chapter! Thanks again, The Scape Guildford Team.
Scape is nice and lovely student accommodation. The interior decoration style is modern and cosy. We have everything we need in a studio room, including a simple kitchen, study desk, cosy bed and a clean-designed toilet. All of our receptionists are friendly and professional, and open to chat:) There are also night shifts for the reception, so 24-hour reception is a huge bonus, which makes me feel safe. The laundry room of Scape Building 2 is on the basement floor so that we won't hear any noise from that. The building is close to the train station, but the window can isolate most of the noise.
Hi there - it's so kind of you to leave us such a lovely review, so we want to pass on our sincere thanks. Our studios are designed to have everything you will need in your private space, including a bathroom, kitchen and workspace - so that when deadlines and busy study periods come around, you have everything you need right at your fingertips! The safety of our residents is of course our number 1 priority, so I'm glad you appreciated having a night team. We never outsource our security, rather choosing to have our own, friendly, professional night porters who are always there to lend a helping hand, whatever time it is. Being located right in the center of town, minutes away from the university campus and train station is such a bonus for us at Scape Guildford, and I'm delighted to hear you love living with us. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the academic year! Thanks again, The Scape Guildford Team.
