I have never met such happy staff. They are always so helpful and kind. Initially, I thought living in a studio might make me feel unsocial, but I often bump into friends around the building, which is actually better than having to socialise with flatmates you don’t get along with. Perfect place for (but not limited to) introverts - 10/10! Also Campus, Tesco, Lidl, everything is so so close.

I have loved living at CODE and I have been here since my first year. The rooms are recieved in great condition and spacious and they also have great, and modern facilities unlike other accommodations that seem very outdated. There are always fun events planned here which are a great way to meet people and have some fun! It also has a great location with the local supermarket and campus within walking distance. And I would highly recommend Code as a student accommodation
Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear you are enjoying the facilities and events alongside your own studio room.
Ever since moving in, the accommodation has provided me with everything i need to start University life, with excellent facilities and staff.
This is so good to hear; the team will be so happy to know they have made a difference to your start at Uni!
Amazing Experience at Code Accommodation! I had an incredible experience staying at Code Accommodation in Leicester! The social spaces are a huge highlight—they're modern, spacious, and perfect for hanging out with friends or meeting new people. Whether you’re looking to relax or study, there’s always a comfortable spot available. Another thing I absolutely loved was how clean everything is. The staff does an amazing job keeping the entire place spotless, from the communal areas to the hallways themselves. It always feels fresh and welcoming. The location is unbeatable! It’s conveniently located near tons of food stores, restaurants, and cafes, so you’re never far from a great meal or quick snack. Whether you're craving something casual or fancy, it’s all within walking distance, which is super convenient. If you're looking for a place that offers great facilities, a vibrant social atmosphere, and an ideal location, Code Accommodation is definitely the place to be!
Thank you for your review! We really appreciate it! It is really helpful for future students to read your comments, and it also cheers the team up to know they are doing a great job! Thank you :)

Thank you! We are so happy you are enjoying your time with us :)
Excellent student accommodation
Thank you for your feedback we really appreciate it!
I’ve stayed at Code for two years now and there’s never been a problem. Friendly staff that get to know you and lots of events to make friends, win prizes and even get free food. Big rooms and even bigger social and study spaces.
Thank you for your repeat custom, we really do appreciate it. We are so happy you are enjoying your time with us. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback :)
Code is the best student accommodation in leicester by far, studio flats with their own kitchen, 24/7 security, free onsite gym, onsite laundry room, garden, communal room, study rooms and so much more. The staff at code really make everyone feel safe, happy and comfortable, helping everyone in anyway they can, really going above and beyond. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting to study at university in leicester, especially if you like to have your own space!!
Thank you so much for your review! It means such a lot to the team who work so hard to get it right. We are so happy you are enjoying your time with us!
this accommodation is the best studio for the money , I would 10/10 recommend to anyone wanting a studio for their years at uni.
Thank yu so much for your feedback and recommendation - it means a lot and so useful for future students looking for accommodation.

Very nicely kept accomodation in an incredible location. Wish I could stay there after my final year. Must go to their events that they put on for FREE. So much to do and try not to mention the friends I’ve met there.
This is such lovely feedback to read - we really appreciate it! Thank you for taking the time to write a review :)
It was decent, would be better with parking
Thank you for your review, unfortunately building regulations would not allow parking :( but glad you enjoyed all the same.
Comfortable pretty decent, nicely modernised, decent people around, loved the security of it all
Thanks for your review :)
Amazing place and staff, would highly recommend to every student that wants privacy and social life all in one place! Made great friends there!
Thank you so much for your valued review. It means so much to the team. We are sure future students will benefit from your feedback too! Wishing you all the best.
Amazing studio. Stayed at leicester code students and loved my time there so much I stayed another year! The staff are so friendly and always there to help with anything. If you have any problems the maintenance is really great and fast. My studio was amazing to live in as it was really spacious and light thanks to the large windows. My favourite thing about code is definitely the staff and how friendly and warm they all are. Also how good value for money it is!
Thank you for your review!
The staff are friendly. The views from the study rooms and studios are amazing. Spacious Communal area with games room included.
The team will be so pleased to hear your positive feedback - they are great, we agree!
The rooms and amenities are great. The views are absolutely amazing, you get to see the river or the full city. The staff are friendly. Certainly feel like home away from home
So pleased to hear it felt like home from home - thank you for the feedback :)
I've lived at Code for two years now and I've renewed my room for a third, I love it here! Having a studio is great for when you want your own space but then Code go out of there way to create a community by setting up events and get togethers to meet other residents. The staff are all lovely and with a 24 hour security team you can call with any issues, I feel really safe living here.
Thank you so much for your review. It means so much to the team. We are sure future students will benefit from your feedback too! Wishing you all the best.
So I lived here in 1st and 3rd year and I loved both times. In my year out of CODE they renovated all of the communal spaces and the new ones look amazing and are way more spacious. There are regular events that I attend with my friends and I always looked forward to the welcome party at the beginning of the year! The site is cleaned Daily and you can see De Montfort Campus outside of your window if you live on the river side. The on-site security is always reassuring with Sandy acting like a father to every student who lives there. The on-site Cafe is cheap and the food is always great, I found that I'd regularly make friends in the Cafe with others looking to order food.
Awful, been waiting 4 weeks for them to fix my shower. So overpriced, nothing gets fixed, elevators are dodgy. Don’t recommend :(
They tried charging me over £500 in damages and won't explain why, they manually disabled email replies (whilst telling you to email the same address if there are any issues) so you're forced to call them. Seems like this happened to a lot of residents, probably due to the owner wanting to extort residents as much as possible as they leave. My room was absolutely spotless and nothing was missing. Mains were turned off when I was absent so I am absolutely disgusted by how they operate.
This is literally the worst accommodation you could live at in terms of staff. They don't replace anything that is out of data and ruined in terms of furniture and living necessities. I know multiple people who have stayed there and their showerheads stopped working and they didn't fix it for weeks. Even with me, they didn't change my sofa even tho it was completely ruined. They charge you extra for electricity so ready your contracts, by far the worst uni accommodation I have experience and it has caused me a lot of anxiety because they think they can do anything and get away with it.
They’re willing to help out as much as they can when things go wrong
Worst place to stay at they honestly they harass you and your guarantors and threaten to take you to court. During this pandemic alot of private accoms gave 50% rent but code wants the full rent price even when your not living there. They only care about the money and I will be warning future people to stay away from this place. They honestly are so rude and disrespectful the way they come and knock on your door. There would be times they’ll even open it without your permission.
Whatever you do, DO NOT STAY AT CODE. During the pandemic they did not help financially whatsoever. I was forced to pay the final instalment for a room I was not living in due to government guidance as well as the fact we weren’t able to access any of the things we pay extra for such as the gym or cafe. After paying and moving out in June, in July I was contacted saying I owed £60. this was supposedly due them having to deep clean my matress (which would need to have been done anyway) and resurfacing my hob. When I left everything was perfectly fine in my room. They sent me evidence of their claims about what was wrong and it was clear nothing was wrong with the mattress of the hob but they made me pay anyway with threats of taking me to court. If you move into code you will be robbed!! It is not worth the price anyway and then they steal money from you after you’ve left. I hope this review stops the possibility of code stealing from people like they have stolen from me.
During covid-19, left the accommodation to go home before lockdown taking all my belongings. Meaning my room would be unused for over 4 months and unable to go back due to lockdown rules. However many accommodations in and around Leicester have cancelled the final instalment for students as they left, however code “monitored the situation closely”, as the situation got worse they still charged us the full amount despite on site facilities also being shut. Lack of communication, general lack of sympathy and consideration for tenants.
During the first lockdown we had nearly 600 students living with us, and worked hard to maintain the physical and mental well-being of these students. We continued to operate security 24/7 and had a dedicated team living on site covering the same hours – as well as offering on-line support via our website 7 days a week, 9am until 10pm.We were committed to helping everyone who rented from us and contacted all our students, asking if they needed any assistance during the lockdown. We sent more than a dozen tailored newsletters to our tenants, created blogs with key updates, responded to nearly 2,800 online chats and sent more than 5,000 personal email responses to residents. For those still on site, we went above and beyond and this included providing a shopping service for self-isolating and vulnerable students, providing all NHS students with free laundry cards, working with Royal Mail to adapt our delivery service and providing free bikes to help students with exercise in line with Government guidelines. We also operated a daily well-being call for those that have welfare issues. We switched activities online – offering free fitness sessions and free mindfulness classes – and delivered Easter eggs to all residents, as well as other small gifts to keep morale high. Our students have told us of their immense gratitude for this, including comments like “I'm 100% [happy] with the help and support I've got through this lovely company” and “it’s really made my day, especially during this difficult time.” You can read about the breadth of things we have done on our CODE blog. We were very mindful of those students who are facing financial challenges, and put in place a new hardship process for our students if they felt they may struggle to pay their rent. The fund allowed for both deferred payments and where appropriate (where there was genuine hardship) reductions in rent from any outstanding payments. On top of this, we offered to refund costs where possible, such as returning the price of any unused electricity and removing cancellation fees. We also assisted students where we can, such as turning off all electrical items and offering room clearances, if they were in lockdown at home. In making our decisions on rent we had to consider many factors. CODE had to pay its contractors, utility firms and staff – and of course our lenders that funded the construction of the Code buildings still expect to be paid on time. We realised we had a key part to play in supporting the local economy and in keeping our staff in jobs. We were aware some universities and a few private providers with university partnership support were able to release students in their residences from rent obligations, but our research has found this was the minority. We put in an enormous effort to make sure our students were supported during the continuing Covid-19 crisis, while maintaining the viability of the business.
Management are appalling. Go somewhere else
We're so sorry to hear that you wouldn't recommend living at CODE. We regularly win awards for our friendly staff and customer service. But we are always looking at ways to improve so please do email leicester@codestudents.co.uk if we can help with anything.
I Really enjoy living at code, the social nights are great for making friends and just generally giving yourself something to do, theyve really improved them and now theyre different each week! They have great facilities, a cafe and a gym as well as study rooms and communal spaces so really you dont have to go far for anything. Its close to 2 supermarkets and a short walk from campus. Town isnt far either! CODE is so nice compared to other halls, the location is quieter without noise from traffic ect when youre closer to the city centre, and i have a river view room which is worth it for the privacy,
We love the peaceful location at CODE too... where else could you get a river view and still only be 5 minutes walk from uni? Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
A great place to stay. I lived here for 2 years and loved every second, the onsite gym was overused and saved me money on a gym membership, the cafe was a great place for a study area and movie nights were amazing.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate it and we're so glad you enjoyed living at CODE.
Although time was spent in halls, I commuted to University most of the time. I would highly recommend halls to spend the most of your time with like minded people, have fun and be exposed to the University Culture.
Thanks for taking time to leave us a review. At CODE Student Accommodation we definitely recommend learning to live independently as part of your university experience.
