Bad points: •Have windows but don’t open. If you’re sick you breathe in the same air, ventilation poor. Was told there would be air con but is not. •No kitchen appliances: no kettle, no toaster, no hoover, no iron, no ironing board, no TV •Keys: doors automatically lock upon leaving so have to have your key all the time. However, no locks into flat so anyone can enter kitchen area or communal zones, feels unsafe. •Water: sometimes cannot get hot water for a while •Electricity: wifi works but electricity can knock off over night •Security: no one walking around or near doors especially at night. Not good at emergencies as often not in reception. Lift was broken for over a month, inconvenient. •Parking: expensive car park opposite but nothing for residents •Location: next to Sugar Nightclub so loud if you’re next to it •Laundry: not free Good: •Good and reliable wifi •Social things are sometimes organised throughout the week and nice communal areas (I.e gym)
Perfect accommodation in a really suitable location for a student. The staff are really friendly and lovely! Amazing social room facilities, where you can play pool, table tennis or even some board games with your friends. High value for money and a wonderful experience

The staff are all very polite and lovely! And the accommodation have many social events hosted which makes it more fun!
This house is really safe and clean. Nice people and great view from window. Convenient parcels collection.
I have been living in St Leonard's House since my first year, and the reason why I stayed is because the management of the apartment is awesome. They are always here whenever I needed help, most importantly the staff member are soooo nice!!
The best part about this accommodation is the genuine care each member of staff has for every student’s safety and happiness while living there. They are more than willing to go out of their way to ensure that my wellbeing and mental health were okay, and I love that I get to say hi and bye every time I walk pass by them through the entrance door. I love that I get to turn to Bonnie for advice, have a fun chat with Michael just talking about the day or what me and my friends have been up to, and have Matt’s company when I stay up late at night to do my essays. The gym and the common room is cool and spacious- and I enjoy that I get to have some place else besides my room to hang out. For someone who had been on campus accommodation for the past three years, I love that I get to be more active in the city centre. Unfortunately it’s my last year in Lancaster, but if it wasn’t, I’d definitely book another year here!
Hi Siti, This amazing feedback has been well received by all of the team at St Leonard's House. It's just wonderful to hear and we are going to miss you so very much. Love St Leonards House Team
Nice location! They have got very friendly staffs working here. I’m nearby, but my parcels were delivered to here. I have contacted them and they are super helpful and quickly help me sort it out. Thank you!
Hi, Many thanks for taking the time to review. We offer a fantastic service at St Leonard's House and we are always willing to help any student in need. :- ) Look forward to seeing you again soon. Love St Leonard's House Team
Avoid at all costs, the accommodation is entirely unliveable and will not change. The temperature inside is unbelievable, I bought a thermometer which has reached 30°C at times. I do not understand how it is legal, the windows don’t open and air conditioning doesn’t work, and never has at any point since the building opened as far as I can tell from speaking to current and former residents. Any time the issue is raised to staff you are simply told that they are aware of the issue and working on getting it fixed. This is not an avoidable issue, I read the reviews regarding this issue and ignored them thinking I could get away with it and using a fan in my room would be okay. This doesn’t cool the room sufficiently, during the day the heat is sweltering and at night you just have to sleep naked with the fan pointed directly at you and hope you get a couple of hours. It isn’t really noticeable during first term, but in second and third term the heat is agonising. Stay away.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to review. We are ever so sorry that you feel your room is too warm and I can confirm that the Air Conditioning is being installed anyday. We have offered you a new room with an opening window and supplied you with a fan and free cool drinks which you can grab from reception at anytime. If you change your mind about moving room we'll happliy help transport your belongings. Love St Leonard's House
Staff very friendly, location is great and rooms and kitchen are well equipped and modern.
Thank you for your review. We are so happy you find our location great and enjoy our well equipped kitchen facilities. Love St Leonard's House Team.
One of the most lovely places I’ve lived in during my time in Lancaster. The building is immaculate and right in the centre of town which is perfect for commuting to and from uni. The staff couldn’t be more helpful and it’s been a genuine pleasure to live here for the past year.
Thank you for your amazing review. We are so pleased you have enjoyed staying with us and it has been a pleasure looking after everyone here. We pride ourselves on our cleanliness and helpful approach so we are really pleased you are happy with this. Love ST Leonard's House team.

Absolutely brilliant accommodation with spacious modern rooms in a perfect location close to the bus station, Sainsbury's and town centre! Every single member of staff are amazing and genuinely care for student well-being, going above and beyond to help and resolve any issues! The entire building is very secure, so you always feel very safe even living alone. All of the facilities are super high quality and modern (gym and common room!) I could not recommend staying here more!

Nice sized rooms and common room, good location and very helpful staff
Thank you for the review, we are pleased you enjoy the location it is so nice being close to town and all the ameneties. Love the team.
Super nice and helpful staff. Good size rooms and common space. Only disadvantage you can't open a window in the rooms.
Thank you for your review, we do pride ourselves on our relationship with all students who stay with us so really appreciate your comments. Regarding the windows, fresh air is circulated continuously around the building and we will be benefiting this summer from additional air conditioning. We are so pleased you are enjoying your great room and amazing communal spaces. Love St Leonard's House team.
Friendly and helpful staff, excellent location in city
Thank you for the 5 star review. We appreciate your comments and are so pleased you are happy staying with us here, you have been a great tenant and we are so pleased you are remaining with us another year. love St Leonard's House team.
Large room, helpful staff and good location in city centre
Thank you for the 5 star review. We are very lucky to be able to offer an ideal location in the city centre close to all the amenities and bus station but still have the space to provide large rooms. We pride ourselves on our friendly, helpful approach so appreciate your comments, love St Leonard's team.
耐心友善的工作人员，虽然才住进来没几天，但我希望能一直住到毕业。
谢谢您的称赞。我们为与所有学生的关系感到自豪。 Love St Leonard's Team.
Due to Covid all social spaces closed so can't really comment. Nice location, really helpful staff especially Nicola! Replaced stained mattress after I asked and gave me a new room because the door wouldn't lock.
Thank you for your review, we pride ourselves on our friendly, helpful approach to all students staying with us here. We are saddened that we cannot open the amazing gym and social spaces for you all, but as soon as the restrictions are lifted we will open them and arrange a great social occasion for all. During these difficult times however we have continued to keep the whole student experience going with zoom quizzes, competitions, free friday night supper, goodie bags and fruity friday to name a few. Due to our convenient flexible weekend check ins the security team at short notice changed rooms and the door lock was reprogrammed and the mattress replaced promptly thanks to our amazing inhouse maintenance team. Hopefully you will enjoy your remaining stay with us and we welcome you back anytime, love St Leonard's House team.
I visited St Leonard's House during the pandemic. The whole St. Leonard's team was super polite, nice and accommodating. They took care of each and every tenant. Also, special health measures were arranged to protect us from Covid-19. I felt safe and understood at all times. Furthermore, Nicky and Bonnie have been extremely helpful and I am very grateful. I can only recommend the St. Leonards to others.
Thank you for the lovely review. We pride ourselves on the care we give each and every student who stays with us so we really appreciate your comments. We are glad the extra safety measures we have put in place made you feel safe during your stay, good luck with your future adventures. Love St Leonard's House team.
The studios offer a really quiet place for studying which is helpful as a final year student. They are very spacious and have ample storage, however it does not contain an oven so if you want to cook something requiring an oven I would recommend bringing an air fryer (or use the communal kitchen if it is open). The studio is always warm due to being on the top floor and not having an openable window so I also recommend bringing a good fan if you want to stay cool. The building is secure and clean and the communal areas are nice, although they have been understandably closed for most of the year due to covid. The staff are friendly and put on regular events. Deliveries are securely kept at reception and post is stored in your personal post-box. The internet is very fast and has been reliable. Maintenance issues with boilers etc are quickly resolved and I have not personally had any issues in my flat requiring maintenance. Sainsbury's and the bus station are a couple minutes walk away.
Glad you are enjoying your spacious studio with us here. We are currently in the process of instailling air- conditioning once the resrtictions have been lifted. This will be fully operational by the summer months. We pride ourselves on our relationship with students and love putting on fun events and competitions to keep you all entertained, including our unique Friday night suppers, Bonnie's Basket and fruity friday's to name a few. The fast reliable internet is always a plus for busy student life and Our close proximity to the City centre and the bus station is also a major asset. Thank you for your lovely review, love St Leonard's Team.
Really lovely property managers who are always accessible and happy to help. Wish I could have spent more time in the accom but wanted to be with family this pandemic
Thank you for the lovely 5 star review and sorry you have not had as much time to spend with us this year, lets hope we can all get together soon. Love St Leonard's House Team.
I have lived in two studios now at St Leonard’s House. They have been so accommodating during the pandemic and I couldn’t have asked for better from them. Nicky and Bonnie are both so lovely and go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Everything is super high quality and modern, the facilities are fab (gym and common room) and it has everything you could want. It’s also very secure, and you always feel safe in the building. I couldn’t recommend staying here more !
Thank you for the five star review, we always go that extra mile to make all students feel comfortable, safe and at home with us and appreciate your comments. Glad you enjoying the amazing Gym and modern facilities we offer. Love St Leonard's House Team.
Really good accommodation, rooms are bright and modern! The studios are a good size with a kitchen that is easy to use. Though I haven’t been able to make as much use of social spaces because of Covid, the gym is excellent, with lots of equipment
Thank you for the 5 star review, glad you enjoy our amazing gym and accomadation it is always lovely to hear, love St Leonard's Team.
It’s one of the most convenient places in town. Grocery, essentials, city centre. everything is near by. The staff members are super friendly and helpful at all times. My personal favourite is Matt. Also special thanks to Bonnie and Nicola for arranging different events, snacks and everything fun, one of the reasons I rebooked my room at st Leonards housing.
We appreciate your review and love to hear you are enjoying your stay with us here. So pleased you are staying with us another year, love St Leonard's Team.
Really good student accommodation. Amazing location near everything needed. The staff are very friendly and are always there to help. The studios are very nice and well-spaced. Overall amazing stay.
Very close to supermarket and bus station. Can walk into city centre in 2 mins. Building staff very friendly and lots of kitchen cupboard/fridge space. Quickly built perhaps but safe and overall would book again.
Shaky start as it was barely ready by the time we were all moving in. There were quite a lot of issues in the first few months but management were pretty good in fixing said issues. Towards the end once it was mostly all fixed it was enjoyable. My one main issue with the building was that the windows in your room and kitchen do not open. This was incredibly frustrating as the air ventilation is not consistent and sometimes it can get very hot inside.
new student accommodation off campus，everything is perfect，if u want to find a place for live for next year，just come
I am very satisfied with St. Leonard's House and it is definitely my second home! I really enjoy staying there. Excellent management team, spacious room and kitchen, very good gym facility, beautiful interior, good location and most importantly very clean accommodation. It is highly recommended, as it is the best in modern student accommodation in Lancaster, with stylish and comfortable studios just minutes from everything!
St Leonard's is perfectly located in Lancaster and has everything you would need near by. The staff are friendly and helpful, they create a warming welcome atmosphere. Everything in the building works, the gym and communal spaces are great additions to the facilities. The only issue is that the windows don't open in the room, but the vent system is satisfactory.
St. Leonard's House have always been my second home and i really enjoy staying there. I am very content with everything around there such as spacious room and kitchen, very good gym facility, beautiful interior, excellent location and most importantly very clean accommodation. I will be staying there for as long as i can until I am through with my studies.
Very helpful staff and simple but spacious studios. Great social spaces and gym. Only real downside is the fact that I can’t open a window.
Lovely accommodation located just a few minutes walk from the local bus station and supermarkets. Accommodation has large and comfortable sized rooms with a indoor gym and spacious rooms to study and hang out in. Extremely fast wi-fi connection to handle all types of service. Managed by an amazing team of staff that are always there to support you whenever there is an issue. Would definitely recommend to any student looking to be located in the heart of Lancaster Town and want value for their money.
Love this accommodation! Great location in the city, immediate access to everything you need. Sainsburys is just right across the street and the bus station and the city centre are a few minutes away. The best thing I love about this place is that the staffs are very caring and friendly and they always make sure you are having a wonderful time here. I encountered a few problems before and was a bit stressed about them. They eased my worries and had them sorted right away.
Amazing new property in the city centre very close to all shops and nightlife as well as the local bus station . The staff really care about the students they are Extremely helpful, friendly and quick to respond to any issues or concerns . What makes it extra special and amazing value for money is the in-house gym and fantastic communal area where the staff hold frequent events and social occasions , all rooms have a double bed and en-suite facilities making it a really comfortable stay. Definitely deserve a 5 star rating .
Highly recommend this accommodation. The best thing about this accommodation is being so close to Sainsbury supermarket.(1 minute walk) Bus station (3 minutes) Town center (2 minutes) Also the building is new everything is brand new. Staff are really helpful and friendly. And totally worth the money you pay.
Really good location, minutes walk into town. Gym & Communal spaces are cool. Nice staff. Would definitely recommend.
Very friendly and kind management team which is always welcome to help with any issue. Fabulous social spaces. Highly recommended.
