The staff is very helpful. The reaction of the company is fast when Covid-19. Even though I plan to stay for 2 years but only stay for 1 year due to Covid-19. The Cable Street still refund me the unused rental fee. Also, when arranging for the moving, the staff is very kind and keep helping for checking my belongings since I am not in the UK. Overall, the experience to stay in Cable Street is very good.

This company is reprehensible and completely morally bankrupt. There have been no cleaning services AT ALL for the past year and a half and they have not adjusted their prices for it even though students are paying more for less. Obviously many students, including friends of mine, have been unable to stay or return to the UK and of course TSHC has refused to refund them at all. In addition, they left a FIRE DOOR broken in my flat for 5 MONTHS after I told them, which is a serious fire hazard and ILLEGAL. There have been other issues such as internet problems and the office not being open when it should. Please do not stay here. Do not give them your money.
Thank you for your review. We are truly sorry that you feel we haven't reached your expectations during this difficult year. Due to Covid-19 restrictions and local government guidelines, internal cleaning services have been terminated. This is to protect tenants and staff during the pandemic. All tenants were notified of this prior to their contracts commencing. Please accept our apologies for restricting the office opening hours due to the pandemic. As you may have seen, the office has been operating at normal opening times, Mon- Fri 9am til 5pm since the lockdown ended. We are very sorry that you have not been happy during these unprecedented times. The Student Housing Company have offered refunds to all those who have been directly affected by Covid-19. We feel that we have gone above and beyond to make tenants comfortable and safe, however, this has meant a reduction in some services provided.

Thank you for your kind review. We strive to help our tenants wherever we can, and we are pleased that we have been able to exceed your expectations.
You can definitely find better accommodation for the price of Cable Street or cheaper in Lancaster. Kitchen cupboard space is a minimum. Due to COVID, I was living in a 5 person flat as a group of 3 and still had to store some food in my bedroom as there wasn't the space in the kitchen. Being practically across the road from Sainsbury's is one of the advantages of living here. As is having the river round the back to be able to walk along. The Lancaster bus station is also across the road, but unless you're concerned about not getting a seat, you should get off/on at Common Garden Street as you can walk from the bus station to there faster than the bus. Unless you're moving in as a group, there is no social experience. Many of the tenants I've come across are International students who keep themselves to themselves. Wi-Fi is hit and miss. You get some good speeds but also frequent disconnects/lag, most noticeable if gaming.
Thank you for your review. We understand it has been very difficult for everyone during Covid times, however as restrictions are now beginning to lift, we are looking forward to hosting some great social events for our tenants in the near future! We have our Annual Summer BBQ at the end of June- make sure you book on & join in! With regards to the Wi-Fi, as you will know from emails communicated, there have been issues with the wi-fi this year. A new wi-fi system is being installed in August 2021, which should eliminate the issue of disconnecting/ lagging whilst gaming. We are really sorry that this has been a problem for you. We are indeed in a beautiful location, having the River Lune on our doorstep, and Morecambe Bay just a short bus ride away.
Really great location in town and next door to Sainsbury's. Lots of the rooms have unique features that maintain the heritage of the buildings. Each room is equipped with ample storage space and a sink. The management team are fantastic and arrange multiple events and competitions throughout the year - there were still fun activities even with the restrictions of the covid-19 pandemic!
Thanks for your lovely review! We strive to provide the best student experience here at Cable Street, and try to create a fun yet homely atmosphere. Our location is convenient as we are so close to the bus station, Sainsbury's and plenty of other amenities! We are hoping that now the Covid 19 restrictions are beginning to lift, that we are able to host even more great social events for our tenants. Hope to see you there!
