iQ Pavilions Reviews

Loved it here, rooms are big enough, the living room was cozy, if ever we had a problem e.g. something stopped working, it was solved and the shop on the accommodation was a life saver

Lived at Pavilions in my first year of University in 2015. Amazing place to live in your first year, made all my friends their including my boyfriend of 5 years. It has a sense of community.

I’ve lived here 2 years because it was comfortable and easy enough, however, staff tend to be rude and unsympathetic. I’ve been patronised as a loyal resident on the regular. Parcel service is rather good. When requests are put in, unless minor, you have to persist in order for them to do it, e.g, I had a dishwasher that was mouldy, broken and unusable and it took them half a year to get to replacing it, same goes for over door. When the team does get into your apartment, they are friendly. Don’t drink the tap water (but I think that goes for most of Lincoln), most things in your room will break/ have broken upon first moving in. WiFi will go down every time you put your phone down. Your radiator will not work, except when it chooses to. I had to spend £20 for every time I had to do my washing (and that’s on being broke). The bed is at least comfortable.

Guards charge you for smoking outside the entrances but they do it all the time When you complain about late night/early morning noise, they say they will check it out and usually don’t until you call back. Then they say they’ve already been even though they haven’t. Don’t warn you before the electric goes out. Well to expensive for what you get, we pay full price and don’t even get a dishwasher like the lower payed apartments.

Pretty decent, staff were useless at reception. Got a phone delivered and had it slammed onto the desk by the guy working there seemingly in spite for asking him to check for some other post, (which they had for weeks, they were just too thick to check the big box with my name on it right behind them when I told them I had more post delivered.

Thought I'd write a more up to date review on pavs since most of these extremely negative reviews are very outdated. The first thing I'll address is the internet, since most of the reviews are very critical of it. IQ Recently(ish) brought in new internet and the speed sits between 100-200mbps (pretty quick internet if you dont know loads about internet speeds) and doesn't go down. Secondly, my experiences with the staff have been pretty positive and they've been helpful if a little outspoken. There's also 24 hour security and free insurance in the rooms which is a nice touch. The rooms are pretty big and come with double beds and en suite bathrooms, as well as large desks and enough room to keep whatever stuff you move in with. The kitchens are decent, coming with enough space/amenities and the living rooms are nice enough. My main complaint is the noise from outside, especially from the Chinese students and people coming back from nights out. Also the circuit app for laundry is BAD.

If you want accommodation where the internet and electricity is always down, pavilions is for you...

Only difference between here and park courts is a hefty price and a double bed, lived here for a year and the WiFi is terrible (constantly disconnects for everyone unless on WiFi), can go weeks without any notification that your parcels are in reception and staff are rude not only to tenants but to visitors aswell. Also the water has a wierd taist If none of that bothers you enjoy your stay at pavs

if your staying here make sure you report and photograph everything you thing is wrong or you will be charged at the end of you stay out of your deposit

Pavilions was recommended to me by lots of students, and in first year, there were no problems. This year, pavs have been taken over by iQ and it's gone completely downhill. Maintenance are rude and horrible, let themselves into the flat and are stood talking in the hallway at 9am. The wifi is shocking, goes off for about 20 minutes at least once a day. The shop is expensive, some reception staff are nice, others are the complete opposite. Our oven shattered and we didn't get a new one for weeks, and the staff were extremely rude about it. Freezer drawer snapped and I kept cutting my hand open on it, and they did nothing for 3 months. Currently don't have a freezer drawer at all, and haven't for another 3 months. In regards to emails, they either don't respond or are really unhelpful. Parcels get lost. I'd never stay here again. Also I've been in two different locations in pavs, and no matter where you are, the noise is horrendous.

The management at Pavilion House are absolutely useless. We had serious problems with a flatmate all year and they refused to do anything about it. This meant one of us had to move out due to it having a negative impact on her mental health. They have gone back on promise after promise and we don't think anyone else should have to go through what we did.

The rooms are lovely and tidy, and the location is perfect! The only downside is the staff, they cannot be bothered to do anything, they are ignorant, and look down their noses at you! All they want is your money and don't know how to do their jobs properly! I was speaking to someone and they was looking at the computer screen and when i went to view the room they were too busy to take me first time round but was just sat down doing nothing, in other words they couldn't be bothered! I wouldn't return back here due to them making me so uncomfortable and like I was in the way. If I ask a question via email I don't get a response for a good two days and they're extremely blunt! The Junxion + Brayford Quay are much more friendly in my experience, I would recommended them two and rate them both 5*.

My experience living at Pavilions was average. The rooms were quite run-down and I had constant problems with the bathroom that never got fixed properly. The maintenance staff are meant to give you 24 hours notice before arriving at your flat but I found that too often they would turn up unannounced and just let themselves in - so rude. However, the staff in reception were always friendly and it was nice to have a shop so close (although it's not the cheapest). Overpriced and run-down but could be worse.

Great service, ideal facilities, probable could be a little cheaper for the higher end rooms & studios

Moved here after previous flat didn't work out. Very welcoming and helpful staff, lots of room in accommodation and common room is awesome.

Too expensive for what it is!

Good size rooms and ensuite, no cleaning and s*** kitchen facilities.

I think The Pavilions is the best student accommodation for first years. The social experience cannot be beaten, mainly because it's a student village and not just a block of flats. Also it's quite comfortable living, it's always warm and the internet works pretty much all of the time. Although my room was on the smaller side you have a decent amount of persona space and privacy - with the option to be social if you want thanks to the communal spaces.

Takes maintenance ages to come and fix things unless pressured and wifi is temperamental

Fun, social and spacious... Nice place to live

Nice place but expensive

Bathroom light broke and took 6 days to fix, not cool, nice flat but noisy and should a have washing machine instead of a dishwasher which hasn't even been touched. Laundry prices, and other facilities are way too expensive considering student budgets and the amount we pay to live here

Love the pavilions! One of the most expensive accommodations but deffonatly the best! Only a 5 minute walk from the uni and the supermarket not much more you can ask for

Pavs was good, maintenance is usually quick to fix things, staff are friendly. It's just a shame it takes months to get your deposit back!

The accommodation itself is rather good, it's essentially a gated community. There's a good chance for interaction and it's pretty easy to make friends. Although, due to there being many people here, it can get loud when house parties are going on.. However that's not a problem if you're attending the parties!

Pavilions was good enough for me in my first year studying law, at the time there was no common place but I do know since moving out this has changed
