I have enjoyed my first months at the acomodation I wish to stay here next year with the people I have met
Thanks for sharing your review! We are really pleased you have enjoyed living at Cityside!
Honestly can't recommend this place enough, it's a really great location and value for your money
Cityside is so central for the University campus and we are glad you would recommend living with us to other students!
Good location and really nice and helpful staff. Everything is modern and new, loads of free events put on throughout the year including food + drink. Always lots of freebies and goodies, great place to live.
Our team in Cityside really enjoy organising the social events throughout the year as it is a great opportunity to meet other residents living there! We will pass on your lovely feedback to the team!
Very good accommodation, very clean and friendly staff
Our customer service is really important to us at Downing Students and we are so happy to hear that the team have made you feel welcome! Enjoy your time at Cityside!
We love it here it’s so close to the university, no need to get up early in the morning. Lovely staff which help you with query’s and on deck 24/7
We are glad that our central location means you get extra time in bed!! Our team are always on hand to help with any queries our residents have! Thanks for sharing your review!
The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. There is always someone at the reception to help out in case you forget your keys, which has been a lifesaver on many occasions after a night out. The location is great as is it a minutes walk to The University of Leeds Campus, shares the block with Leeds Beckett too and is a 5 minute walk from any shopping centre you’d need for grocery runs.
Thank you for sharing your really informative review! We will share your great feedback with the team and we hope you enjoy the rest of your time at Cityside.
Really good location for nights out and walking to uni and the gym. The receptionists are very friendly and helpful however the security are way too strict and will just walk into your flat unannounced if there is the slightest bit of noise after 11 even if you are just talking.
Very good halls, maintenance is very good and carried out quickly. Expensive though...
Nice bedrooms , clean halls with really helpful flatmates in the hall!
Not enough drawers/cupboards for 6 flatmates. For price we're paying, maybe a bin emptying service could be included and a TV licence. Also, the recycling facilities are poor - no recycling bin in the kitchen (only a large one in the basement), therefore, unfortunately, waste is rarely separated out.
Great all round experience, Debbie has been helpful and professional in reception
Best accomadation. Useful with a tesco nearby
Nice halls, clean, friendly and social
Great place! Nice reception staff!
Good accommodation in a great location but security/wardens need to be less strict. We are first year uni students so it’s obvious that we will be playing music and going out a lot. This is the most strict accommodation regarding noise of all the others I’ve been to.
Modern accommodation with friendly staff and an on-site gym. Has all the necessary facilities required for convenience whilst studying at university.
Construction outside is really loud.
the place is clean and tidy, good management team, generally a comfortable place to live
It's near university and town, new and clean!
Always friendly staff and really nice halls
The staff are very friendly and the place is warm and well kempt
CitySide is a really modern hall. I’m really happy about the location and value for money. Laundry app does not include view option, so I have to go and check if there are any available machines multiple times. If I’m not wrong, when I got offered a place in this hall, the website said that a cleaning person will take out out trash and clean the kitchen during the weekdays. However this never happened, so I’m a bit disappointed about this. Everything else is perfect.
It's a very comfortable place to live. It's not as social as some of the other residences but that's just the nature of the building. However the facilities and staff are exceptional.
Everything is good，only the internet sometimes doesn't work well.
I love living at CitySide, the location is amazing
I am really happy with the location and the quality of the rooms and kitchen
Perfect location would definitely recommend
Really nice accommodation, great facilities and the best location by far!
The welcome was very warm, day to day management is very good. They make everything very streamline. Communications are very direct and you know what exactly is going on.
the best student accommodation in Leeds. the service is really good and the rooms are in high-standard only the prices go up every year.
Really good location, always the first sold out:)
The staff are very friendly, there is always a range of activities available which accommodates everyone. Great location and place to live
Everything is good, only thing is it's quite expensive.
I love Cityside. I have not had any issues. Great location and exceptional staff.
Fantastic accommodation, probably the best hals
Cityside is really a nice place to stay for students. It is very close to both the city centre and the University of Leeds. A Tesco express is just next to the building, it is quite convenient for students! Strongly recommended!
Stayed here over summer, the kitchen was spacious and the room was good, comfy bed, just really hot and no fans available at reception.
Really nice rooms - great size and top quality finishes
Great uni accommodation. WiFi is a little tricky to set up but works fine when it is. Really helpful staff and the rooms are nice
Great staff! Great rooms! Excellent Location! Cannot recommend enough!!
Lovely place to stay and very nice social area
it is a very comfortable accommodation
Nice flats situated very close to the city centre. The staff are helpful and interiors modern but for the price asked I expected a bit more in terms of amenities.
Honestly one of the best experiences of my life, perfect staff, perfect maintenance and amazing vibes. Anytime I would need anything it’d be very easy to acquire it whether the sink was loose or the safe out of battery & I know my friend would say the same. HANDS DOWN WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE
