I’ve really enjoyed my 3 years at Glassworks and made some amazing memories and friends. They do different events every month including celebrating various festivals and holidays which is a nice touch for us internationals. Makes us feel at home! The breakfast they offer every morning is handy when you’re in a rush for uni. One thing I’ve also loved is the staff! All of them so helpful and friendly especially Shyla who has been very accommodating from day one.

There is a feeling of belongingness here. The staff is amazing and caring. The amenities are just too much with gym , cinema and steam sessions. They have big study spaces which makes it easier to focus at the time of exams.Cherry on top is they have these fun events every week which helps you through yhe week and keeps you motivated. You just can get enough of them.

If you're looking for comfortable and affordable accommodation, look no further than glassworks . The rooma are spacious, clean, and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed and all the amenities I needed to feel right at home. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and they went out of their way to ensure my stay is enjoyable. One of the things I loved most about this accommodation was the location. It was perfectly situated within walking distance of many great restaurants, shops, and attractions. Whether you're in town for business or pleasure, this accommodation is an excellent choice. The facilities are top-notch as well. The fitness center is well-equipped. The complimentary breakfast was delicious, with plenty of options to suit every taste. Overall, I would highly recommend the glassworks to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay. With its great location, friendly staff, and excellent amenities.

Staying here during my Master’s journey was one of the best decisions I made. The amenities available at Iconinc met my every need, whether I was seeking some alone time for studying or just wanted to invite my friends over for a movie night at the cinema room. Although the location is not as close as I wish it would be to my university but it is not that long of walk and there is a bus option too. Overall, i would give this accommodation 9/10.

I had an amazing experience living at The Glassworks while studying my Masters degree at the University of Leeds. It's a great opportunity to make new friends, there's people from all over the world that you can meet at the events that the accommodation plans each month for free. I particularly enjoyed the 24/7 gym and the breakfast bar for free everyday.

The Glassworks has been a place I could truly call home during my time in Leeds. The place is comfortable and the property management team do their maximum to make everyone feel comfortable. There are some disturbance issues if you face the courtyard but that is mainly due to tenants who do not respect the peace and quiet night of others. However, the property management team is always helpful to handle the matter. I would like to highly recommend Denzel Arubayi who is the in-charge of night operations for his calmness, professionalism and great customer service. On the same note, Jordon who works during the day is a gentlement with positive energy and always ready to assist tenants. Overall it was a very nice experience at The Glassworks and if I come to Leeds in the future, I will choose this place again.

Since I have arrived at this place I was warmly welcomed by the lovely staff over there they made me feel like I am at home and they have never let me down whenever I asked them for anything they even get out of their own way to help with anything. And i would like to specifically thank a member of staff called Shyla she was really friendly and helpful and she is always looking out for us as international students thank you for your effort and making us feel like we are at home! . I highly recommend this place for students and I will definitely be staying there next year!

Absolutely terrible last few weeks. Company decided to start building work and only inform tenants a few days before. Communal cluster kitchens were removed from use with no compensation despite this being advertised as a “perk” of the accomodation and one of the reasons I booked. So much building site noise when trying to focus on assignments and revision; or even sleep! Staff were very rude and unhelpful about my concerns. Maintenance not keeping on top of broken items. Cleaning has gone downhill over the tenancy period - weekly “clean” of kitchen was now just a quick wipe of surfaces and taking bin out. Definitely glad to be away and won’t be rebooking for next year of my degree or recommending to friends. Tenants should be compensated in some way if there are alterations to what is provided in the contract. Manager has no idea what he is doing and terrible with communication

I would say this is one of the best accommodations out here in Leeds, I was here last year as well and this year I did look for another accommodation but I couldn’t find any place as cool and as awesome as The Glassworks so I returned here again, amazing staff, interactive social spaces, it has the comfort which is required for a student. I LOVE IT!!

I swear half the tenants are only still in Iconinc because Lara keeps the place running! Elias and Rasa and Alan work so hard to make the building run. Like the building in terms of living tho is great depending on which room you get, all the rooms have TV s but the wi-fi isn't that great but other wise yeah I would recommend living there

As an international student, I was hesitant when it came to booking accommodation without being able to see the property, however the virtual tour on the iconinc website was very helpful and gave an accurate representation of the property and facilities. I was nervous to arrive during COVID because as an international student I was required to isolate, but all the staff were incredibly helpful during those 14 days as I could call downstairs for breakfast in the mornings, as well as order groceries which the staff helped bring up to my room. I do regret that we have missed out on as many social events as advertised due to COVID although they're trying their best with virtual events. Lots of the exact same rooms are advertised for completely different prices so I would suggest taking a few visits to the website over a period of time before making a decision in order to get the best deal

IconInc describe themselves as a company which offers, “luxury living for students”. However this is a completely false pretence. The staff are very welcoming upon arrival, and most of them are pleasant and friendly on a regular basis. However they are no help whatsoever when it comes to dealing with day to day issues which you may have; this includes the management team too! I made dozens of complaints regarding noisy neighbours, who played music into the early hours of the morning most nights, leading to me having many sleepless nights. However no action was taken. The same neighbours would smoke illegal substances regularly too, which is said to be forbidden in the IconInc policy, however once again, no action was taken. In any other apartment block, these tenants would have been given severe warnings before eventually being evicted as they had a complete disregard for the rules. IconInc did nothing however, which made living there unbearable at times I’m sad to say.

Great impression upon arrival, however after living there for 12 months you realise that first impressions are usually based on false fronts. It was interesting to see how the business dealt with tenant enquiries over COVID and refreshing to know that the management only care about the business and money side of things. International tenants who were unable to move out due to COVID were either forced to pay ridiculous amounts of money to have their belongings shipped to them or their belongings were disposed of and some claimed by staff onsite. Staff members found more joy in gossiping between tenants than actually ensuring all tenants were happy and comfortable. First aid kits were barely existent and new staff weren't trained to know where they were kept so safety was clearly not their first concern either. When issues were raised with the managers they were pushed under the carpet and ignored.

All the staff have been really kind and helpful. The Glassworks is in a brilliant location, one train stop from the centre. There are always fun activities to get involved in and amazing social spaces including the gym, cinema room and pantry.

What an experience me and my partner had! If you want to be looked after and want that 5 star service then IconInc has everything you will ever need from the best customer service from the reception team to a nice grab and go breakfast on a morning for free. Having your own personal apartment but then having plenty of other space you can relax and study. Very quite accommodation great for our studying and they really do appreciate you they will try resolve any issues you have quickly. Gym is great not having to pay extra all included in our rent. Can have your friends and family around when ever and they are treated so nicely also. I couldn’t fault this place thank you for making our time rock.

Covid-19: Respectful in every way

I moved in from 2019,It was the first time I came to UK. I still remember the day I moved in reception Jodie helped me helped make my bed and unpack when I was so nervous to came to a new place. Every day I go to University the reception will say hello to me. And the friends I made here, there are so many social places in IconInc. Remember the americano in every morning, the party with my friends every Friday, the gym I planed to go every afternoon.. How time flys. I wish I could stay one more year

Covid-19: I go back to my hometown when the covid 19outbreak.

Heartless. Don't ruin your University experience by buying into IconInc marketing. Once youre through the door youll be bribed to leave good reviews, be gifted with over priced everything and given a box like room which is NOT soundproof. Once youve handed your money over thats where the relationship ends, they only care about making a profit than their actual tenants. This isnt luxury accommodation and it feels more like a business work place with directors holding their weekly meetings in rooms they call 'student study rooms'.

Living in iconinc has been a great experience. I stayed here in first year and left to try something new in second year. I then came back because I loved it so much.

Great accommodation, but you are extremely overcharged and the quality of the building itself is awful. Very faulty. Most of the tenants there always agree with me when I say "it looks better than it works", it's very aesthetic but it is 100% not worth how much they charge you. The staff used to be great but recently they've been quite rude and unprofessional. I've stayed in Iconinc since its opening and I could easily say it is not what it used to be and it is not worth it.

I was a tenant at Iconinc from 2018-2019 and enjoyed my stay there thoroughly. What sets Iconinc apart from other student accommodations is the 24 hour reception. The staff are extremely friendly and as I was a first year student it was particularly helpful as they could answer any of my queries about the city. The facilities are also amazing with a variation of study and social spaces along with an onsite gym. They also hold monthly social events which is a great way to make new friends.

Management frequently and illegally entered my room without notifying me. The walls are so thin you can hear the intimate details of your neighbours' conversations. Reception play music so loud that the study rooms become redundant. Management do nothing about noisy neighbours. I ended up spending every single weekend back at home because I got absolutely no sleep staying at IconInc.
