I’m currently staying at The Refinery and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience! The accommodation is comfortable, stylish, and well-maintained. A special shoutout to Brunoo, the General Manager, whose professionalism and friendliness make everything seamless, and Jane, the Residents Manager, who is always so helpful and attentive—it’s clear they genuinely care about the guests. If you’re looking for a place with top-notch service and a warm, welcoming team, I highly recommend The Refinery! read more

Living at The Refinery has been such a great experience. The building is modern, clean, and well-maintained, with all the facilities you need as a student – from study spaces to social areas and a well-equipped gym. The staff are really supportive and always ready to help, which makes settling in so much easier. The location is also very convenient, close to the university and city centre, with everything within walking distance. The community vibe here is friendly and welcoming, making it easy to meet new people. Overall, The Refinery feels like a safe and comfortable home away from home, and I’d definitely recommend it to other students. read more
