Sky Plaza Biography
Sky Plaza is the second tallest student accommodation building in the world and is located a mere five-minute walk from the Leeds Beckett campus and a fifteen-minute walk from the University of Leeds. You’ll never be at a loss for things to do as the city centre, as well as Leeds O2 Academy and the First Direct Arena, are all a stone’s throw away.
The accommodation is equipped with all the bells and whistles, such as a gym, cinema room, communal study area, outdoor social space, and common area with free ping-pong and pool tables. For your benefit, there is onsite a vending machine and laundry facilities with some rooms having in-room washer-dryers.
Sky Plaza has a range of elegantly designed en-suite rooms, studios and one-bedroom flats to choose from. Each room comes furnished and has its own private bathroom. Both the studio rooms and one-bedroom flat are equipped with a private kitchen, whilst the en-suite rooms share a kitchen and lounge area with flatmates.

Read Sky Plaza Reviews
The apartment did not provide hot water to the tenants throughout the day as promised in the contract, but only provided hot water at 7 o'clock in the morning. It has caused great inconvenience to the tenants' lives. In addition, the staff at the apartment had a very bad attitude after receiving complaints and did not deal with the problem. What's more serious is that the elevators in the apartments often don't work, the ceilings leak, and there are also water outages throughout the day. For the above-mentioned problems, even after receiving the complaints, they have not been completely solved. It has been several months since then.
The complaints regarding Sky Plaza are backed by videos and screenshots, and there are more than just these four issues: 1. The apartment has failed to address the hot water problem for all residents for a prolonged period, leaving no place to shower, severely disrupting daily routines. 2. The apartment's renovation noise is excessive, and the more they renovate, the more problems arise within the apartment. Staff responses have been evasive. 3. The apartment door is broken, and despite being told to contact the 24-hour front desk downstairs, staff have not been responsive, even after two attempts at 10 PM. 4. During the early hours, the elevator stopped at my floor but didn't open for half an hour. When reported, the staff said they would arrange for repair, but no action was taken, and there were no measures to temporarily suspend the elevator for maintenance.
Don't have hot water Don't have hot water
There has been no hot water for more than half a month, and the front desk has not solved it at all. The elevator broke down for a long time and was not repaired. Now there is still a problem with the elevator. My friend was trapped in the elevator last week and was told that the engineer would not arrive for an hour.
No hot water when take shower！！！！Last for 3 months！！！Need refund！！！
There was no hot shower for three weeks and no maintenance. The attitude of the staff is lax. The apartment facilities are old.
是的，入住plaza,你会在早晨被装修工人吵醒，然后如果没拉窗帘，他会缓缓划过你的窗看到你的赤身裸体；你会被忽然坠落的电梯吓死，你会被打不开的电梯门吓死，你会被坏掉的电梯累死；你会等半个月等不来洗澡的热水，情人节约会也要洗冷水澡；你会住在破旧不堪的房子里，和许多半坏不坏的设备过着猪狗不如的留学生活……来吧，来体验暗无天日的苦日子
There has been no hot water at sky plaza, forcing residents to take cold showers every day. The elevators are often broken, and some of the reception staff are unfriendly and possibly racist. The front desk refuses to accept deliveries from Royal mail.
It's a rubbish apartment, the elevator is always broken, and it's very scary for people to be trapped in it and not be able to get out. There is no hot water supply every day and I have to take cold showers. The front desk engages in racial discrimination and only delivers packages to white people without paying attention to other races, and this applies to both black and white employees!
very good place，best location， best wifi， best management，best social experience， best social spaces， best cleaning.

I have enjoyed my time at Sky Plaza, the staff are always happy to help and the facilities are great, thank you to Kim for fixing my issue promptly
It’s a nice place to live at but a bit overpriced
My room and kitchen were dirty when I checked in. The toilet was leaking. Maintenance takes 2 weeks to sort your issues.
Thank you for your time writing the review. I am sorry that your room was not up to standards but when the students arrange room moves between themselves, they are responsible to ensure that the room is clean. Our maintenance team works hard, and they are also part of our 24/7 service - Sometimes we need to order parts, and this can take some time to arrive. You can always see the status of your maintenance request by using the Unite Students App :) Have a lovely journey! Best wishes
I think it’s not bad generally not bad
Thank you very much for taking your time to write a review. Have you had a chance to look at our upcoming events? We have a Bingo Night and Go Karting Day booked for March. We hope to see you there :) Best wishes
the place is nice, staffs are super friendly and helpful, location is convenient and easy to get to both university (beckett and u of leeds, and the city center)

I love here, the location is brilliant
Maintenance issues take forever to get fixed at all and reception staff are unable to do anything other than flag the problem as priority. Unless the manager is informed, broken things will stay broken for months
Everything is well , But the refrigerator in our apartment is broken and we haven't solved the problem for a long time. In addition to this, Everything is nice and cozy and convenient
Thank you for your 5* review! Our maintenance team has confirmed that a new fridge has been delivered to your flat. Have a lovely stay! Best wishes,
location nice, close to the supermarktets and cities
Amazingggg… I love the whole place ….

It’s been a pleasant experience living in Sky Plaza. The location is good, but the wifi is sometimes unstable.
The location is the best in leeds, which is at the between town centre and uni. The common room is big and fantastic. It is also a good place to live.
Quite a worthy place to live, reception desk demonstrates high quality services with full respects.
Lovely place, nice for socializing, lots of things to do
The location of sky plaza is suitable for students in university of Leeds, cloased to both city and campus
Sky plaza is really nice and warm space for students and the location is very convenient if you go to leeds uni
Great experience and good reception
Thank you for your 5* review!We are glad that you are enjoying your experience with US. Have a lovely stay! Best wishes,
Staff useless most of them are pretty moody but there are some helpful ones. The laundry is overpriced we’re students laundry should be cheap or free. The gym is tiny . The vending machines don’t work for certain items and no one seems to care enough to fix them. The lobby’s full with drunk people on weekends,THe maid is f****** USLESS she just check that nothing is broken and leaves.U pay a lot 4 a little other building are way more affordable and offer bigger rooms. My room is tiny the bathroom has no drainage so I have to mop the floor after I shower . The water cut off in the building for like 3 days. The elevator was broken the first 3 months so we had one elevator for 18 floors.the fire alarm test is done weekly it will wake the s*** out of you then you need walk down 17 floors. The internet is pretty good and the study area is a 10/10
Overpriced, disgusting. Stay away!
Good accommodation in terms of modernism. But overall was a terrible experience. Didn’t feel like I was at a university halls; was boring, quiet, nothing ever happened. Had to travel all the way to mill street to have an actual good time. Wish I didn’t stay there. Was awful
