It's overall a great accommodation- very close to city centre and campus and there is a Tesco Express and gym 1 minute walk away. I made a lot of friends during fresher's week due to the events held, and the common/cinema room was my personal favourite. It was always very clean, both inside the reception/common room and outside as well. Reception were pretty helpful whenever we had complaints or asked for advice, but sometimes took a long to address the matters. But overall, it's a great accommodation and I would choose it over Central Village having been to both as we're next to each other. read more

Overcrowding and Noise: In many student accommodations, there’s little privacy and walls can be thin. This leads to constant noise from roommates, parties, or even general traffic outside, making it hard to focus or relax. Maintenance Issues: Sometimes, city accommodations are older buildings, meaning broken appliances, plumbing issues, mold, or outdated heating systems. Slow response times from maintenance teams can add to the frustration. Small, Cramped Spaces: City accommodations often prioritize packing in as many people as possible, resulting in small rooms and shared facilities. You might feel like there’s no personal space. read more

Staff were lovely. Communal places were always clean and the lifts were always working. On the more expensive side in Leeds but money well spent. read more
