Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're so pleased you've enjoyed your time with us at Student Roost. If you have any further feedback, or if there's anything else you need, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
Location is fine and good price for a studio, but sadly those are the only real positives. Since moving in to my (uncleaned) room I've had constant noise issues (music and shouting, banging on walls to wind people up etc) and the smell of weed coming into my room so strong that I've developed breathing difficulties. I've reported this to management and they don't really seem to have anything in place to deal with it effectively. "We have a procedure to follow" but their 'procedure' appears to be coming to the door and telling people to shush, then ignoring further complaints when (obviously) noise continues once management have left. I'm doing my teacher training and so obviously my sleep is very valuable, as is my ability to work. Living in halls i fully expected some noise, but not choking in my room due to smell and having panic attacks from constant noise. I'm on the verge of contacting 'Sulets' and 'ANUK' who claim to support this place and the way it is (mis)managed.
So disgusting, when I moved in hair and toenails was everywhere, clearly has not been cleaned. Fridge and oven had mouldy food in it. Security was s***, no one ever answered the phone and they was not in the office either. The only decent thing about the place is the wifi
I loved my flat i just wished it was cleaned and checked before I moved in, I found hairs in my shower and a unclean broken toilet seat before I even moved in, the oven and hobs were not cleaned properly either so when i first moved in i spent a while doing a deep clean
Good experience overall. Felt safe and was conveniently located 5 mins walk from the DMU campus. Lidl was adjacent to the building, which is a huge plus. Although once in a while, I could smell weed!!
It's great to hear that you have enjoyed living at Upperton Road! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.
Customer service is terrible, and the staff is useless, arrogant, and often disrespectful. They make many promises that they cannot keep. A lot of noise, maintenance problems, and no security. The quality of the facilities is good, but specially due to the lack of customer service, I will not suggest this accommodation to anybody.
Student Roost Leicester values feedback from it's residents, we are sorry that your roost isn’t 100% what you’d expect it to be. If you are still experiencing maintenance issues, then please report them to the reception or send us an email and we get theses resolved as quickly as we can!
My experience in this accommodation has been great as this place has wonderful has wonderful facilities and great staff - special shout-out to Sonia! A purely amazing woman who really cares about the residents here and i’m glad to say she’s one of the nicest people i’ve ever met here. She’s really taken my Leicester experience to another level- because of her i was able to secure a place in this accommodation and has also been a key factor in me settling in Leicester as quickly as i have.
It's great to hear that you have enjoyed living at Upperton Road! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.
Upperton has been quite okey. Like how it’s close to campus and neighbouring with Lidl which is so convenient. I’m though sad that Sonya has to leave the office. She was the only one in the office that actually cared for the residents and would do anything for us to feel safe and at home. She was really one of the best and most of us are extremely sad that she left :(
It's great to hear that you have enjoyed living at Upperton Road! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.
I’ve been living at Upperton Road for about 6 months now, and I was pleased with most of the things here. But recently it came to my acknowledgement that Sonya is going to leave the Upperton Management team, which is a loss for the team and I’m sorry to hear that. She has been so welcoming and ethical when myself and friends from the accommodation were facing issues since the first day I came to the student accommodation and until the present. I just wanted to say a big Thank you for all the help!
Thank you for your postive feedback and taking the time to write us a review.
My experience here has been decent but Sonya helped me and my friends out a lot. She’s genuine and looks out for us.
Thank you for your postive feedback we are so glad you are enjoying your stay with us, thank you for taking the time to write us a review.
My time at Upperton has been very comfortable due to the receptionist Sonya. She is so sweet and puts us students first by always making sure we are good and getting our flat issues sorted out. She always has a smile and on her face and i love the fact she really cares for our well-being. She is very friendly which is so good when going to pick up my packages or complaining about a flat issue
Thank you for your postive feedback we are so glad you are enjoying your stay with us, thank you for taking the time to write us a review.
Overall its a very good studio to live in. Lots of space for clothes, decent bathroom facilities and an okay management team plus the fact that lidl is downstairs. However one small detail that they leave out that is important to note is that the windows are restricted and do not open all the way which is why I HIGHLY suggest your bring your own fan or something as the air circulation is extremely poor in these rooms. You end up being in a boiling room all day having to sit right next to the window. Apart from that it’s definitely worth the money.
Hi, thank you for your valued feedback and taking the time to write us a review.
Management are terrible! Been living with Sulets for 2 years! First at regents court which literally had RATS in the court yard and marijuana smoking receptionists! Then I paid a lot of money to live in a nicer environment. But everytime I have to deal with management some are mega rude! Gemma is especially rude and would not wish for anyone to deal with her! She is unprofessional and rude. If you are looking for a studio this is fine if you can bare the smell of marijuana sifting into your room at ungodly hours through the extractor fans. It is honestly ridiculous for the price and I would only recommend this accommodation due to the fact it is right next to Lidl.

nicely kept studios but other studios in Leicester e.g. code are better value for money
We are happy to hear that you think our studio's are nicely kept! Thank you for providing this feedback which we can use to improve our services in the future. Kind Regards, Student Roost Management Team
It was a nice studio to live in but I had some noise issues, I think signs asking to keep noise to a minimum should be used, also all doors could be slam proof. I moved rooms due to noise but the second room i got was much better.
Thank you for providing this feedback! We are sorry that you felt the accommodation was noisy. We encourage tenants to report any noise disturbance to our team by calling the mobile phone at any time. We are pleased that your second room was much better! Kind Regards, Student Roost Management Team
It is an amazing accommodation for a student , the studio room is big enough you can find space for all of your personal belongings , great and clean bathrooms , the kitchen size is very good , fridge& freezer sizes are very good , the heating system is excellent there are no limited/ scheduled heating times and the heater is working perfectly as the room gets warm quickly and you could turn it off and still enjoy a warm room , drawers are in great size , you got a towel rail in the bathroom which is great to keep your towel and bathroom warm , there is always hot water which is very important , comfortable sofa , large and comfortable bed , very friendly staff along with helpful maintenance and security team . As an international student it was very important for me to get exactly what I have seen on their site as I have not got the chance to check the room quality from overseas , it is very important that they are providing reliable information and accurate pictures .
It's great to hear that you have had a great experience living at Upperton Road! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. Kind Regards, Student Roost Management Team
I would like to say that the washing machine is so disappointed, most of them dont work.
We are sorry that your roost isn’t 100% what you’d expect it to be. Your comments regarding the laundry room have been passed on to our laundry provider circuit. Thank you Student Roost Management
For the amount of money we pay, the room is nice and very convenient, however the laundry room is a massive let down and isn’t enough for how many students the accommodation holds. Upping the rent doesn’t seem to sit well with many as we see no change in the accommodation

Very good price for a studio, (£131/ week is an absolute bargain). Nice place, maintenance are swift to help. Fairly clean place although the hallways should be hoovered more often. Close to uni. Internet acts up at times- for the most part it is reliable. Student Roost- study space, games area, events etc. Lots to do!
It's great to hear that you have had a great experience! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. Thank you Student Roost Management Team
very good overall, but is a bit far from town. and wish the room have more shelves in the table area and there was no place to hang toilet roll
It's great to hear that you have had a good experience living at Upperton Road. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review, all feedback helps us to make improvements for the future! Thank you Student Roost Management Team
decent, the rent could be cheaper. My main concern is the cleaning and I hope for the coming years they change the mattress of all the rooms because they’re horrific!! They have worms

sometimes people yelling in the corridor and door slamming scares me a bit but overall i like living here
It's great to hear that you like living here at Upperton Road! Remember you can report noise disturbance at any time to a member of staff by calling the mobile phone. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. Kind Regards, Student Roost Management Team
Every day after 11 pm, there was a loud talking in the corridor, and the laughter and obvious running sounds were not resolved.
Student Roost Leicester values feedback from its residents, we are sorry that your roost isn’t 100% what you’d expect it to be. If you are still experiencing these issues, then please report them to reception staff by ringing the mobile phone at any time. Thank you Student Roost Management
Staff contradict each other with the information they give. The halls aren't very clean or quiet. Not worth the money you pay.
thank you for your recent review, please feel free to come to office and we will do everything in our resonable means to resolve your issues you have now or in the future kind regards
Would not stay here again. People are loud in the hallway very often and it doesn’t matter how many times you complain because nothing ever happens, it will be quiet for 10-15 minutes or if you’re lucky until the next day. They put up signs but people dont care because they don’t get any consequences. Several times when I’ve been to the reception to ask for help the staff haven’t been very kind or respectful, I’ve felt patronised. Although it’s important to mention that some of the people working at upperton are very nice and I know the security are doing everything they can to stop the noise during night time. The problem is that the people who make these noises don’t get any consequences after. Also there are a lot of drug use in the property, it smells of weed almost everyday, good that the police is more engaged now. I really like the studio itself but its just not worth it.
We are sorry that your Roost isn't 100% what you would expect it to be, but we thank you for taking the time to write us a review, as all feedback helps us to make improvements in the future. Kind Regards, Student Roost Management Team
The price is very reasonable for a studio, it is quite spacious and the room is pretty clean. The location is perfect, everything is walking distance - from shops, takeaways and with DMU being 5 minutes away. Staff are friendly and will attend to your needs if any issues ever arise. Rubbish is an issue, with students being lazy and just leaving their rubbish in the corridors and littering outside. The social spaces are pretty good, there is plenty of room to chill with your friends. Occasionally, like most accommodations, students can be pretty loud and disturb your sleep. The Wifi is fast and reliable. Having multiple devices connect to the internet is also really useful.
thank you so much for your positive reviews any issues at all you have please email or pop into the office we are here to resolve any issues you may have. kind regards
It’s very noisy, the walls are very thin so having a room next to the stairs gets extremely loud. Noise complaints aren’t dealt with effectively as people are still loud past the 11pm rule. The doors to your room are so thin, you can hear everything down the corridor at all times. There are no blinds so when you live on the ground floor you can’t have any natural sunlight as everyone can look into your room. Facilities are different on every floor for rooms, the lower floor you are the older your facilities are such as the oven. Some staff can be very lovely and helpful, others can be very condescending and rude. The outside doors to the building are always getting broken, they are either locked and you have to wait for someone inside to come by and let you in or they’re unlocked and anyone can get into the building and it takes days for an engineer to come fix it. One of the doors to the building is permanently broken, it won’t let you in from the outside.
we understand your concerns regarding the issues you have. would you like to pop into the office so we can go through all yourn concerns thank you very much kind regards
Absolutely Awful. The staff are incompetent. Was the room I rent cleaned before I moved in? No. Was damaged items replaced before I moved in? No. Have they been made aware of this? Yes. Have I been waiting since the first day I moved in for things to be fixed? Yes. The neighbours are rude. They have no sense of common decency, playing music at all hour of the night, running up and down the corridors making as much noise as humanly possible. Do the staff do anything about it? No. The only thing that makes the building even remotely suitable is the fact it is a few minutes walk from DMU, and Lidl is downstairs. So in short, don't live here. Not worth the £159/week.

Upperton staff was very friendly and nice. They were always there to help. The wifi connection was a problem at times and the rent was costly in comparison to the space.

The accommodation is very conveniently located, with the common spaces right opposite. The staff are always happy to help. The gym is great, they have all the equipment you need. The Yoga and boxercise is especially good, they go at your own pace and are brilliant either to wined down or let off some steam. The rooms are perfect for one person, they are modern and have everything you need to live very comfortably.
This accommodation was amazing, they had everything that you needed. The gym is located right infront of the building and which had enough equipment to accommodate everyone and also they had exercise classes on specific days. Also, within the building they a common area where you could come hang out with friends and watch movies, play ping pong, video games or have a chill night and hang out. Another amazing feature is that they have a receptionist that collects all your packages so you do not need to worry about people taking packages and also the 24/7 security is amazing as well.
The room is clean. When I have some problems, reception always help me. It is convenient for me to live in there.
Great place to live. All staffs are really nice and helpful. Brillian facilities for students to use. Gym is outstanding, free and open 24/7. I had lovely time living here. Will definitely recommend this place to everyone.
I lived at this property for two years and have enjoyed all the facilities and my room very much. The studios is spacious with widow panels from celling to floor. It has great storage and all the appliences needed. There is great lighting and air circulation. The mangagment address any repairs and conserns immediately. The facilities include a gym, study room and arcade. These are great for studying and I hosted an event in there as well. I would highly recommend this accommodation. I really enjoyed my stay here.
I absolutely loved staying at Upperton Road. It was a very student friendly location. Close to both universities (leicester and demontfort), there is a lidl grocery store right downstairs, a starbucks across the road from lidl within the same car park. On top of the starbucks, is sulets very own study/ recreational space. This includes study space, pool tables, tv's and a gym. The gym is perfect for a workout and is included within your rent. The gym is now equipped with all sorts of machines and weights- making it easier to train. If you are a student, this is an ideal location for you as it is a quiet residential building in a very good location.
Best accommodation in Leicester! Staff always happy to help, makes my studies far easier knowing I have a good sized, quiet room to study in. Very close to university and city centre. Gym facilities brilliant if you use them.
