All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Good distance from uni, great on-site staff
Very close to uni and not far from the city centre, would recommend, I’m really enjoying my time here.
Incredible location. Right by the university. Met the most lovely people. Cutest cat ever

Leodis has been a great place to live first year, very social and managed very well by the lovely Sarah and Martin. Any problems have been sorted quickly and done well! Special mention to the cutest cat onyx
i really enjoyed my time at leodis during my first year!!! as it’s a large accommodation it’s very sociable but it’s still a reasonable amount of people to the flat. the reception staff are lovely and often hold events where you can win prizes - can’t forget about onyx the cat! would recommend :)
I really enjoy it here the staff are lovely and I love onyx the cat

The staff here are lovely and really make you feel safe. I’ve met the bestest of friends here and will miss it so much after this year.
Leodis residences is a great uni accommodation, it’s a great location, the staff are lovely and it’s great value for money
I’ve had the best experience at Leodis residence this year. It is one of the most social accomodations as there are two flats per floor and most of the time you end up hanging out together. The rooms are a decent size with 3/4 beds and en-suites and the location is one of the best for accomodations in Leeds with only a ten minute walk to campus. Would definitely recommend!
Love the place and the reception staff are lovely. Bug up onyx the cat
Leodis is a great place for first year uni students. The staff in reception already always very friendly. The social life is also very good and buildings are very social. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the centre of campus, so whilst not classed as a on campus accommodation, it is very close, considering some accoms are 30 mins away. There’s also plenty of parking spaces for students, who have a permit, to use. The accommodation is also split into multiple blocks with 14 flats in each block and 6 students in each flat with a shared kitchen. The group of accommodation blocks are also gated, with students having a fob to get in so the site is very secure. There is also a common room, reception and laundry facilities on site. The local corner shop is Londis which is about a three minutes walk away with a post office inside. The nearest supermarket is probably Morrisons which is about a 20 mins walk away towards the centre of town.
Lovely staff and common room and the cat is such a sweet addition!
Good location to uni! Decent size rooms and large kitchen!
great value for money and great location
Good value all things considered, maintenance staff weren’t great and it’s a bit of a pain that it’s at the bottom of a massive hill but it could have been a lot worse
Lovely location, very safe and social, love my room and the area!
Really nice accomodation to stay in, close to university and social areas.
I’ve enjoyed living here the whole time and had a good experience with my flat mates and with the staff in reception. I’ve had some issues in the flat with maintenance
Great accommodation, staff are lovely and onyx the cat is great.
great, social, amazing, love it
It was a good experience as an international student however the location wasn't that good because of the heal. Globally good social events.
Had a great time at leodis! Staff very welcoming and a nice social place!
Friendly and looked after, social setting and good freshers events that got us in contact with loads of other students and helped us make friends! Good facilities and really quick maintenance help for any and all issues
great location and good rooms, feels very secure. the social freshers events were well organised and fun.
Excellent accommodation with great and friendly team- shout out to Sarah and Martin!
It is a great location, near to the university and city centre. Office staffs were attentive for maintainance and other issues. Overall a great experience staying here.
They have lots of social events, which can entertain while your studying
Leodis was a nice place to stay and staff always happy to help big shout out to Martian holly and sarah
Staff are very lovely (with a very cute cat)
Nice room very safe place to live
Definitely glad I chose Leodis! Really good location for walking to the university and into town, not to mention the good sized rooms and the glory of an ensuite bathroom. The management team was super helpful and quick to respond when needed.
amazing cat、 reception staff holly martin and Sarah are always happy to help
The management here are absolutely lovely, the warden and RLAs are all excellent to talk to whether you have an issue or need someone to talk to. The accommodation is close to campus and has plenty of events so there is always something to do.
it’s ridiculous that leodis is managed by like 4 teams of people. That’s causes alot of problems.
Pretty good accom, rooms are not as value for any as other accommodation.
As an Australian exchange student Leodis has been a 10/10 accom. I’ve made some of my best friends for life here and have experienced a true Leeds university experience. It’s a short walk from the university as well as anything you really need. The accom itself is wonderful and I’ll be sad to leave my room here when I go home to Australia. Every time I’ve had a maintenance problem such as the hot water or flush breaking, the maintenance has got back to me and made a solution the same day. I truely recommend Leodis for anyone wanting a social, immersive and homely university experience!
Holly, Martin and Sarah at the reception are very nice.
Sarah, Martin and Holly are amazing in their work!
very good experience，love living here！
Nice living experience, cute cat and staff🥰
If you are an upcoming student in Uni of Leeds, I could not recommend Leodis enough!! It is a 5 minute walk to uni and in a quiet area so not too busy. double bed, en suite, wooden floors (easier to keep clean) and parking, and it doesn't really look like a student accommodation, more of a normal flat! Very social, I met most of my closest friends through pres and flat parties during freshers, most people here are super friendly. the only downside is that there is always construction going on, either in this accommodation or the one behind Leodis, but on the plus any maintenance issues get solved on the day.
Sociable and only a short walk from the uni. Super management team at reception
Leodis is in a really good place for the uni, it’s very sociable with lost going on but not too mental, Martin is the man. Maintenance issues can sometimes take a while to get sorted and it wasn’t the cleanest when we got here. All in all though not a bad place to spend your first year.
The place is.really good in overall, definitely gonna recommend it to other students.
Lovely staff in reception! Overall good experience
The thing that really makes leodis is the staff. So kind and helpful.
The reception staff are lovely, Onyx the cat is adorable and very friendly. The accommodation can be noisy at times which I expected but it is quiet at night. Lots of security and RLA’s to assist with any issues. The only downsides is walking up the hill to the uni and the circuit laundry but the actual accommodation itself is lovely.
Lovely reception staff, helped so much when we had a problem and provided a pizza night for us ! Also love Leodis cat, so cute! Post system very good , accessible even at late night .
the staff here are so nice and patient!!
it’s a great location, it has easy access to town
I love laugh Leeds living here
I love leeds and I love leodis
Leodis rooms are very nice, I would recommend it to university of Leeds students as it’s close to campus.
wasn’t my first choice of accommodation but been pleasantly surprised, quick walk to the uni and any problems with maintenance are. very quickly sorted! enjoying my time here!
Very good, staff are lovely and very helpful always!
So social!! Loving my time at Leodis, was a bit worried coming in but such a good location and lovely people - definitely wouldn’t want to be anyrwhere else
The staff here are friendly and nice. The room is nice, too. We have many activities here.
good distance from the uni, very sociable and lovely cat!
Amazing location, super social

Amazing place and great staff and great cat

i love leodis and i love onyx the cat and everything here
So cosy and a great place to make friends
Great accom! 10min walk to uni, 20mins to town/ Morrisons/ Aldi (the closest big shops). They put on decent socials eg winter formal, maintenance are really quick, lots of socials/ pres
Leodis is perfect for Mechanical Engineering building and has a londis very close by.
really good. love the people and the staff they’re all so kind. very glad i picked it
Very close to campus and a very social place. Nice spacious rooms and good maintenance
Onyx the cat!! great staff, lovely accom
Love it here! Great location too
Great location, close to the uni, not far from the main Hyde park pubs. Martin is fantastic! Well maintained.
Super good location to uni and staff as well as the other residents are all so friendly and sociable!!
i really love ledosi, its perfect place, really kind people in reception
Amazing, the events are awesome
Has been a nice accommodation so far, not many issues to complain about. I did find it a bit confusing to set up my WiFi connection at first and would be nice if the maintenance sent me an email prior to coming into my room to fix the radiator. But the reception staff are lovely and location is very good - just 10 minute walk to uni
Living here is very convenient, it’s near university and shopping place, the kitchen is big and my roommates are all nice guys.
Derra & martin + cat onyx awesome
Best thing about Leodis is the cat onyx
Great residence with a lively social life. Short walk to campus.
Didn’t initially pick Leodis but very happy I was put here rather than a different accommodation and would probably pick initially if I had to again
Leodis is a good places to live
It’s so nice Leodis is, all staff are kind and helpful. I really like living here!
Honestly such a spot on place to live! Everyone is so lovely here and it’s in such a great location for the University and not too far from the city. Even if you can’t be bothered to walk there’s a bus stop right outside. Never had an issue living here!
very friendly and efficient with fixes. lots of social activities
Great community, and friendly staff
Everyone is super friendly and there is great communication about the building.
Good experience, great experience
Pretty nice accomodation, but people in block A have fun walking up all the stairs as there's no lift! Those on floor 5 have bigger rooms but you will bang your head on the ceiling as it is slanted (and 5 flights of stairs!) But Leodis is pretty cozy and close to uni. If there are any issues, it will get death with pretty quickly. Some accoms have cleaners for the shared area, but not at Leodis so it's only clean if your flat is clean.
Very social, events within the accommodation are excellent. Excellent security and support from staff and res life.
great location. very sociable, always feel nice and safe
very Good，it is near the university，and all the staff are very nice
Perfect place to stay , near university of Leeds, also organizes ample of social events through which people socialize a lot
Sarah Martin is an amazing manager. Always up for a laugh and cares about each student and their needs. Love hee cat Onyx
Sarah and Martin are amazing and keep leodis clean and safe! Will miss them next year
Friendly staff and lovely environment a lot of interesting activities
Good location and people and social events
Great social accommodation. Love the leodis cat.
love it here. everyone is friendly and the rooms are decent size. nice apartment decor, comfy sofas. needs more washing machines.
I think it is really a nice and perfect experience for me，I feel very happy！
Very social environment and great location, close to all my lecture halls
It’s a great place to live especially the caring environment which Sarah tries to improve on a daily with also bringing her cat with which creates a warmer atmosphere. As well as the event that are being held here are great to get to know more people from Leodis residence and helps to get started when you first move in.
Living in Leodis is an amazing experience with the support of Sarah and Martin at the reception, always there to help us whenever we need. Chilling in the common room is always good fun especially when Onyx the cat comes to join us, making everyone happier around him.
Sarah and Martin are just the loveliest people, always around to help and support! I also enjoy a bit of company from Onyx 🥰 Overall the flats are great, it's very sociable and feels really safe
Sarah's lovely and her cat is adorable
Very nice residences, lovely accommodation. The cat is amazing and everyone is nice. The services are great.
Sarah is the best and Louis in amazing and the cat is lovely.
I’ve had a great first two months at Leodis - it is very social and everyone is really lovely here. We even have a lovely cat Onyx (who is very friendly). The facilities are great and Leodis is in a good location, around 10 minutes away from the uni.
Amazing staff, Sarah and Martin have been super supportive. There are interesting activities been held throughout the semester.
Leodis was a nice enough accommodation, a bit pricey for what you get but that's the same for most accoms with a good location. Kitchen sizes varied a lot so you could end up with a great kitchen or an awful kitchen depending on your flat, but most people didn't have enough storage in the kitchen anyway. Also we didn't have a hoover which I'm still mad about. However, most issues were sorted pretty quickly and it was a really good location (despite the hill). Management was lovely and seemed to try and make your time at leodis nice. Rooms and shared spaces could be a bit bigger but its a double bed and en-suite which is nice, I would recommend getting under-bed storage though because storage solutions were lacking. I didn't study in my room but its a decent desk and most people had good wifi. Social life at Leodis is what you make it. It's no James Baille but you can get a good night's sleep and there are still loads of friendly faces - you just have to find your people I guess.
Leodis is a good choice for those who want an en-suite and car parking. I’d recommend Montague Burton for those who have a car, if you are worried about the shared bathrooms, don’t be. It will probably be cleaner than your en-suite because you’ll have cleaners come regularly, whereas you’ll have to clean your kitchen and bathroom yourself if you get an en-suite. Leodis is sociable, has a decent common room and has decent management. Always had any issues resolved in a timely manner and reception is nice. Do not worry about the hill, people massively over exaggerate, it’s a 2 minute inclined walk, nothing treacherous. Although, Montague Burton is situated in the middle of the hill as opposed to the bottom (where Leodis is). If you really need an en-suite, go for Leodis, but I’d reccomend Montague Burton for the price and value for money, it’s much better. If you would like to see a tour of Leodis, I’ve uploaded a video to YouTube “Leodis Residences Tour”.
Leodis is not the worst, but definitely not the best. The rooms are okay, but invest in a mattress topper, and there is very little counter space in the bathroom. Kitchen sizes change from flat to flat so it's a coin toss on space, and there are no cleaning services, unlike other places. The accommodation is about ten minutes up an annoying hill to the Parkinson building. You can get a bus at the bottom of the hill into town. There is a common room but not very many events put on by the residence. There are lots of washers and dryers but there have been a couple that have been broken all year. The staff are friendly and nice, but our flat had issues with maintenance and staff personnel coming into our flat without notice before conducting repairs and inspections. Generally quiet. If you're given Leodis for your accommodation then it's fine, but don't go out of your way to put it as your first choice as there are definitely better accommodations.
Close to uni (despite the hill). Rooms are spacious in A block and would say the rooms are pretty good. A little bit overpriced for the service provided however. Maintenance staff do often respond to problems with the accomodation. However, the rooms did come with a few problems with the drawers, a broken TV and a cheap microwave. The mattress clearly hadn't been deep cleaned. Over the easter break, the maintenance crew came to refurbish the bathroom, but didn't bother to lock my room door when 2 weeks were literally left of the holidays with nobody to lock it, with all my belongings inside it. This is careless. On top of that, the company takes £148 of your limited supply of money as a student, yet make you clean the kitchen three times a year? Really? You can't use a small percentage of that to send cleaners? And they are insanely strict with the checkups too, making sure you get every speck in the mid check ups. Why are they making you clean the kitchen during exam season? Insane.
Leodis is a fine place to live. It has a shared games room on sight. My it is all self catered and self cleaned, so it is up to the residents to clean (sadly I’ve landed with a flat who doesn’t clean up after themselves, but that’s okay). Nothing extraordinary, but is a comfortable and close-to-the-university property.
the pictures shown online are pretty accurate as to what Leodis looks like however each set of flats in each block has a different layout which is rather unfair as we are paying all the same amount for significantly different spaces- some kitchens and rooms are huge whereas others quite small. The ensuite is really nice for what you pay- proper shower. its 2021 and they still have failed to sort out the silver fish problem but Leodis is not the only accommodation suffering from this infestation so it may be a leeds thing- Devonshire, IQ and even the gym have them- they are grim but I guess you get over it. We did have people called in to spray the flats against them but after they had come I was getting more silver fish than ever before. The security is nice but some of the receptionists are very moody and rude, especially the short old man. the social life is what you make out of it, there are some weirdos but it is easy to make friends. close to town and headingley so v.conveniant.
The room has a VERY UNCOMFORTABLE MATTRESS, you need a topper otherwise you will never get a good night’s sleep. There is no mirror in the room except for the en-suite. There’s no way in hell they cleaned our rooms and the en-suite before we came, the first time I properly cleaned the bathroom it was vile and the brand new sponge that I took to clean it came out looking like it had been used for the last decade totally brown. You also feel very isolated, even if all your roommates have the doors to their rooms open it still feels like a correctional facility. There are Silverfish in the bathroom. The walls are very thin. Both our fridges have not worked since we moved in. Our oven also stopped working within twice within the first two weeks. The floor in our kitchen is grim, even after we cleaned it with strong bleach twice. The staff are very rude, most of the time. They don’t have a vacuums, told us to clean our whole flat with just a dustpan and brush.
I originally put James Baillie but ended up getting leodis. Orginally after reading the reviews for leodis and I was so upset but honestly I can’t tell you how much my mind didn’t change. I spent every single day with my friends in James Baillie. The social scene in leodis is honestly the most dead thing you’ve ever seen. I gave leodis So many chances for a good night during Covid but it continually dissapointed. It’s not even like I went to James baillie because I loved drugs like it has the rep for (I’ve never touched a drug in my life) but the social was so much better, we would chill for hours then have a motive and then chill again for ages, all my best friends are now from JB and whenever we went to leodis not a person was about. The accom is overall nice and good location (good for living) but if you want a fun uni experience then go to JB not leodis (this is from the perspective of someone who went to uni in 2020 during corona but I assume its similar in other years.
My time in Leodis was great. The management was excellent, we managed to break the hob in our first week and they got it repaired within the next day. Our radiator also broke and they sent up a temporary heater while they fixed our radiator, it was all quick and efficient. I had no problems with anything in my room or bathroom. The rooms are spacious and the desk is well sized, the bathroom is modern and worth what you pay. Our only problem was we didn't have enough cupboards for how many were living in the flat and the kitchen island was wrapped around a wall so we couldn't all sit next to each other but the living area was massive and we got good use out of the balcony doors. Leodis is social enough if you want it to be, knock on people's doors and invite people to pre's. Its noisy during freshers but during term most peoples pres finish before midnight and practically a silent at 10pm during the exam period. People over exaggerate the hill, it's really not that bad at all.
A bit far from campus. The socials are brilliant however
Bit boring for me however possibly due to flat mates. Good location close to uni but fairly expensive compare to other halls.
Leodis is the best choice i’ve made so far. It’s incredibly socialable and really easy to get to know other people through pres etc. Previous comments about the management put me off but it must be new staff because i’ve found them so helpful. Moses the security guard is a G, the people at reception are nice to you so long as you’re nice to them. Maintenance gets done next day pretty much. The rooms: super super spacious with a 3/4 bed which is decent but reccomend you being s mattress topper. Bathrooms are decent and showers got really really good pressure. Different blocks vary in their social area in terms on the sofas in the living bit. Our block is awkwardly shaped but it’s still sociable and we still have pres easily. the kitchens are fantastic too. Overall i’m so so happy i chose here and yet to have any negatives.
Leodis is alright. Kinda overpriced for what it is but nice modernish accommodation, nice kitchen and great showers as others have said. Rooms are pretty reasonable size, much better than the likes of Henry Price. Like others have said, Management/Hospitality team is pretty much what lets Leodis down as a whole. Management seem to be pretty useless, uninterested and simply not very nice/approachable people. The hospitality team do a poor job with the cleaning, apparently my block is cleaned twice a week but there's been mess on the stairs from some maintenance work since freshers week, and for someone who has done communal cleaning professionally before, it's obvious to spot where they cut corners. Security (Moses) is sound but literally cannot have chilled pre's without getting called out on and accused of being too noisy and shut down (literally other blocks have louder pre's until 12/01 and no one bats an eye..). But yeah, could be worse.
On the whole leodis is sound for the actual living spaces, kitchen is really spacious and fittings are modern in both the kitchen and bedroom. Bed is comfy and a nice size + shower is never cold and a good pressure. Wifi is average-fairly fast but always drops out and can take a while to reconnect especially on your phone. 15-20 min walk to central campus, 25-30 to town. Social side is good, people are really friendly and there's always somebody with a pres. In terms of the management, I'd 100% agree with the other reviews that say it's poor. Despite mansion claiming they have a dedicated hospitality team, I found the staff quite lazy and unhelpful. Was only until we spoke to the student sub warden who told us that after 3 weeks of having no fridge "staff had lied to us" and not actually bothered to order one dispite our numerous complaints and reminders. Most of the time i see some of the staff they're either having a fag or having a bit of a domestic in the car park.
Fantastic!! Caring landlord and wonderful flat mates
Management are absolutely terrible. Have heard them b**** about students on multiple occasions, making fun of students for personal issues. Security are lovely, just make sure to only go to the office outside of the usual 9-5 office hours.
It's a decent place, I like living here but there are many flaws ------- Value for Money: > love the ensuite but many people complain the shower is too small > room is a nice size with 3/4 bed > kitchen is nice socialising space > small kitchen, max. 2 people can cook at one time. > certain dryers don't dry properly and laundry is expensive. > thin walls Location: > Very close to uni > Big hill > Surrounding area is a bit dodgy Hall management > Patronising > Pretty intrusive imo - people walk into your flat randomly without warning > Maintenance was really quick tho Cleaning > You clean it yourself so idk. Common room > Pool table, vending machines & lots of seats etc. > Nobody goes in there Social experience > There are fb group chats for Leodis and individual blocks > Good if your flat gets on well > Events sometimes WiFi > Terrible!!! Unreliable, disconnects randomly and takes about 3 & 1/2 days to reconnect (about 5mins really but still annoying af).
the internet is slow as hell, there are tons of silverfish in the bathroom that crawls all over the place by night. some of the staff are nice but i found some of them racist and mean. the room is annoyingly small.. and the kitchen is too small to be shared with 6 students. can't wait for the contract to end
One of the more expensive halls due to refurb and ensuite however did not find value for money. Bedroom walls were halfheartedly painted in 3 different colours, scruffy wardrobe, disgusting toilet and among other things a broken door handle which they failed to properly fix on many, many occasions (resulting in being locked out at all times and situations and the actual thing falling off probably even more so). Management, (exc Jordan and the hassled looking blonde lady) were rude and I find the lack of appearance and pro-activeness to achieving a decent quality to be a reflection of disrespect towards us being students (without considering we are the ones working towards our degrees as well as paying the expensive rent.) Furthermore, my halls was full of either exchange students who were predominantly into keeping within themselves and/or year 3s and 4s who had lots of work to concentrate. Overall an especially disappointing halls experience.
The management is absolutely rubbish. The manager did not help us at all throughout the year despite our continuous complaints about appliances not working. We complained about the freezer for like 6 months and nothing was done until our food all got defrosted. The blinds don't block out the sunlight so they wake you up at like 5am. The walls are very thin so you can practically hear someone breathing through the walls. There's building works going on that also wake you up. The manager was honestly so unhelpful. The security guard Chris and the subwardens were friendly but overall, my leodis experience has scarred me for life.
Very social halls, lots of students to meet, but they inspect regularly and cleaning is strict. Is hard to get your parcels often because lack of staff in the office.
Rooms and ensuit are fairly big and nice. Kitchen is on the small side and difficult to cook if more than two people are cooking at the same time. Cleaners only clean the stairs and lift and not very often. Maintenance are really good and respond quickly to even the smallest of problems
Terrible experience with the staff being most extremely rude, very racist and patronising. Maintenance men were nice dudes but the management was so poor I couldn't believe they'd "managed" to even get the job itself. (lol) The location is great with Hyde park just opposite and lots of nice cafes in the area plus the park opposite to hang out in the sun or play basketball with your mates. All in all I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody..It's worth looking elsewhere as they will scam your money from you as much as their bank balances will hold.
Services are pathetic , take ages for a maintenace job , all appliances are old . took 100£ from my deposit for a bedsheet hardly worth 10£ . NOT recommended
Very sociable if you're not a total loner like me. Nice sized rooms, but thin walls so you can hear people pounding each other all the time. Friendly staff, overall pretty good tbh
Please contact me if you are a student who has been charged via their deposit without a ref on their bank statement and also if the charge was unjustified as we have been charged for a soiled mattress which we have evidence of ie photos and people who checked the room on the day of leaving - the mattress was NOT soiled and it appears that students are being charged incorrectly.
The rooms are great but no cleaners unlike all other halls. Your social experience can really vary due to the isolated nature of the rooms.
I heard of other blocks that weren't too social due to international students but mine (C block) and plenty of others were great for meeting people and parties etc. Rooms + Kitchen were great and reception staff couldn't have been better. Only downside is tiny common room which we only used when the exec organised socials. Perfect location in my opinion, although that hill is a struggle for 9ams you get used to it.
The only thing great about Leodis is the close proximity to the Uni and the big kitchens and rooms you get. The post system is really good and tends to be reliable. The security guard, Martin, is lovely. However, in general staff here are terrible; they tend to barge into your flats a lot so you get NO privacy. The staff are also rude and yell at you for small things including cleaning when they don't even do it themselves. There are woodlouse in rooms and the lobby is never even swept.
Good year, quite expensive rent
Socially it really depends on who you are put with but that is the same with most places. I was lucky to be put in a really fun block
close to uni, but far enough to feel separate. good range of social events, and free breakfasts before exams!! v. good
Very close to uni, a little further from town. Modern and social halls best value for money en suite accommodation.
close to uni and to town, has good sized rooms and good kitchens
Really good accomodation, really modern and clean. Halls reps always put loads of activities on - the best ones being when you get bar tabs for nights out!! Overall social experience is a bit meh compared with other halls but it's all down to who you end up sharing a flat with I guess
Very social but is very expensive
If you are looking for an adult halls and not a student halls then this is for you. The staff will look to fine you at every corner and stop any sort of student fun before it gets a chance to develop.
Nice halls near uni. Only a short walk up the hill. The layout of the kitchen isn't great with a huge wall blocking any sort of communal eating space.
Enjoyed Leodis. Only moan is bottom of a huge hill which reduces you to a sweaty panting mess at all times of the year
Convenient plane to be with good size rooms. Sofas in the kitchen incredibly uncomfortable but amazing showrs
Great location only a couple of minutes walk from the uni. Some people complain about the hill, but it's really not that bad. The common room is small and you'll probably never find yourself in there but if you want to have a party you can always book out the common room for a night which is quite nice (but a lot of hassle). The en suites are very nice, beds are a great size and the desks are quite big too. The grounds itself are clean but no one will clean up your kitchen for you so sometimes it can get quite messy. The only bad things about it is the light at night in the rooms, if you're moving in and can't sleep in slight light then you will have to cover the window with a sheet, which isn't a big deal. The wardrobe space isn't brilliant and some rooms don't come with a full length mirror which is a bit of a pain but once again it's not hard to get your own. I've found it to be very social and have really enjoyed my time there, would highly recommend it.
Pretty good location but the hill is murder. It's not bad but it's definitely not worth the money
At 123, it's not the cheapest of halls but you get value for your money. The rooms are spacious and the beds are big enough. The toilet is basic but nice with black and white decor. One complaint about the toilet: loud fan if you turn the light on. I've resolved this by now using fairylights so I dont have to turn the light on. The location is amazing, max 15 mins from door to inside sections of uni. It's hard getting used to the hill and steps you have to walk up but it soon becomes second nature and I've even started to apreciate it because of the extra exercise in the morning! Hall management is good. Amazing communication and great help. Always answers the security phones if you have a noise complaint which was common for me as the walls are quite thin and it's distruptive if upstairs or downstairs have a party as you can hear all of it. Gave cleaning a three because it really depends on your flat as theres no cleaners. Social spaces are comfy and big and it's easy to make friends.
Nice accommodation, but not in the most pleasant of areas.
Very sociable and clean. Maintenance is quick. Perfect location. Great for just moving out.
Amazing halls but soooo antisocial and did not have any cleaners which was annoying as most other halls do!
Really nice halls, so close to uni, recently refurbished and much nicer than most other halls. However management (other than the security team who are angels) are rude, broken items are never fixed and some rooms are missing furniture (shelves and a mirror) people are charged for broken furniture that broke due to poor quality/overuse. Not the most sociable halls, but still fun and there are occasionally events.
Great social experience, but poor corrupt management & value for money.
Loads of people got mugged outside my halls during my first semester there so location/security not so good. Pretty clean, spacious. Social events were non-existent (luckily my flatmates were nice)
Manager is not approachable, very patronising and rude at times. Rooms very nice and met some nice people.
A dirty place that is rather overpriced. The location is really good, despite the hill. But the rooms were dirty on arrival and collect dirt like no tomorrow. The furniture is unconfortable and easily breakable. The appliances also are cheap: the oven either burns or does nothing and we have had 5 toasters because they keep exploding. For the price it's very poor
Good location, nice rooms with en suite. Not very sociable.
If you end up in Block A, ask to change rooms before you've moved in. It's the only block with no lift so you'll have a very tough year ahead of you! No one wants to walk up 14 flights of stairs to visit - so socialising is difficult. As is moving in and simple tasks such as bringing your shopping upstairs. Unless stair sweepers count as cleaners - there are none. And even they barely ever come... Particularly if they needed to trek to the top of the block! Value of money? I would say it probably isn't worth the cost. The rooms are big and all en suite, the kitchen is large and the lounge is big enough to socialise with your entire floor in. But bear in mind (other than the en suite), probably all halls have those same facilities for a much cheaper price. They may not be as close to uni, but who's bothered about walking an extra 10 minutes if you're saving money? It's self-catered, with barely any social events, no cleaners and the management isn't great. Very expensive in my view!
Quite pricey accommodation. Staff could be more helpful.
Although Leodis is near uni, we have double beds and an en-suite showers; it is not in a safe area. The maintenance people are very unhelpful, we've had lots of problems with cold water for showers, no WIFI connections and faulty ovens, each time we complain very little is done to help and fix the problems. I also live in B-block right next to a extremely noisy building site, which Leodis failed to fully notify the students off. Due to building work starting at 7:30 am every morning I had to contact Leeds council before anything was done about the noise as I was basically ignored by Leodis staff. Despite this, the rooms are a good size and the friends I have made are brilliant. Personally I feel Leodis probably not worth the money.
Probably the best hall at Leeds uni. One of the closest to campus with fantastic facilities and mid range price.
Really close to Uni, fun, social and the safety is great.
Terrible Wifi - Prison Like Management - Good Location Let me start with the positives, the halls are good walking distance to university and town with a taxi back costing as little as £3. Locale 'Londis' shop only 3 minutes walk away which is convenient but expensive They try and charge you for everything including the sub-par seats that they provide which break literally by using them as a chair.. Cooker and window broken through no fault of our own yet they still threatened to charge us for a replacement which is ludicrous and unfair The Wifi is so temperamental that you have to reconnect every 15 minutes with the signal randomly disappearing Management rude and unhelpful. Students spoken too in a patronising way. Online maintenance request system means it takes ages for maintenance to be carried out. System down half the time and won't let you log a report. They also won't help you if you go to reception and simply tell them.
The room could have been a little bit more clean when I arrived. I also ordered a bedding pack which was not present when I got to my room. Its not a bad place to live though, you have everything you need and its close to uni.
I would recommend these halls above any other at the university. It is very close to the main campus, without being too oversubscribed (you'll probably get it if you put it down as your first choice!). Although it is one of the more expensive of the halls, the flats are of high quality and so the price is worth it, and you get an ensuite. Cleaning is very limited, there is no flat cleaner! One of the few downfalls of Leodis. However, central spaces are kept clean. The social experience at Leodis is fantastic and you will make new friends in other floors and blocks, as well as your own. Can't really comment on the common room: never really used it although I know there it is well facilitated. I would highly recommend Leodis. It is in my opinion the nicest and most social accommodation I have visited.
