Fontenoy Apartments Reviews

Great building with nice rooms and great location in the centre of town. Staff are lovely and the new takeover gives the place a more organised feel.

Shocked to see the amount of negative reviews on this accommodation when I couldn’t think of anything bad to say about it..I’ve been living here since July and got welcomed by the two new staff at the front desk who were incredible to my partner and I. Because nobody else had moved in yet they let me pick my own room with the view i liked the most, offered us some Prosecco on entry and replied to every email I had almost immediately. I cannot imagine the amount of stress the staff must be in under in these un-foreseen circumstances we are in yet everytime I walk in they welcome me in and ask about my day and always open to giving me recommendations of where to go in town. We are lucky we have them as they’re locals as well which means they have all the best kept local secret-locations google wouldn’t give you when you move into a new city! Due to coronavirus they offered me 2 months free during summer to which helped me out enormously as I felt more settled down before online universit

Overall very friendly and helpful!! And a beautiful place, I fell in love with my flat from the minute I saw it online. The internet speed is fantastic (important for me as I play CoD with my family). Overall a lovely place to live, and though management is a bit new, and we’ve had a few hiccups, theyre very very kind and understanding and helpful!

Fantastic place to live, thoroughly enjoying my stay - the new management are lovely and go out of their way to help! Would definitely recommend this place as it’s in an ideal spot with excellent facilities.

Stayed here since September 2018 when starting University as well as over the Summer periods. Enjoyed every part of the experience so far, with its location, views, as well as the spacious rooms themselves. Social areas when available are easy to use, always cleaned and well looked after by others as well as fun for all guests from the cinema room, on site gym and lounge rooms. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful with on site maintenance who are always happy to help with any issues. Would definitely recommend to those looking at somewhere spacious to stay right in the centre of the student district with University buildings and library’s around the corner with the city centre also a quick walk away. Would definitely give a 5 star rating overall. Will definitely be rebooking again soon for the final year.

I was a student last year 2019-2020. The place has had two infestations of flies when i was there, with about 50 flies in the main common room/bar area. On top of that the bin room was full of rats. The bins werent cleaned and had fungus growing on the lid. The rooms tap was tempermental at best. If you're on the 7th floor good luck. You'll have one window just like everyone else but it's half the size... Security wise it is non existent out of hours with a phone call servuce required to even get back into your room. Since then they have tried to charge us for a covid packing service which we didnt ask for as we were still living in the accomodation through the national lock down. This was a surprise to us when we returned to our room after a weekend away to find it emptied and a £150 fine on our deposit. The staff may be friendly to your face but they're about as useful as a jelly fish in a wheelchair. Ultimately they will try and sting you £££'s for something when leaving.

Having had issues in 2019 when I first moved in, Fontenoy has had a new management team in since August 2020. Things are a lot better here now. Can not fault the two new management ladies on reception. Caring, efficient and welcoming. The new maintenance guy goes above and beyond in sorting any issues and keeping on top of the building maintenance. The cleaner ensures the floors & social spaces are kept clean. The room is fantastic with everything you need as a student. It can get quite hot in summer with the windows being restricted. Social spaces are available to use or hire if you would like to host a party or get together. Building is secure with fob access only. They have wardens that work throughout the night and on weekends. Perfect location being next door to Henry Cotton & sport and exercise building and then a 10min walk to tithebarn & byrom Street buildings. 10min walk to Liverpool lime Street and Queen Street bus station. Highly recommended living here.

Worst experience possible. A staff member entered my room and stole money. Head office won't respond to any emails. Avoid at all costs.

Exceptional resident hall. Especially the staff who are extremely helpful and welcoming.

Convenient location as it is quite central, the social spaces are also quite good. However, it's all style and no substance. I would recommend looking elsewhere like IconInc or The Lantern, because those are luxurious accommodations, this is far from that. The management staff are absolutely useless and only make your life more impossible and stressful than it needs to be. Far from professional and their 'solution' to problems such as rowdy tenants, things easily breaking in apartments (due to how badly they have been built), and the terrible LACK ventilation (also a result of distasteful and poor construction), brings even MORE problems. The walls are paper-thin, so you can hear everything, and the windows barely open. The overall social experience in here is depressing. All they do is play board games and have a running club... I mean we're bloody students. Not middle-aged people. Do yourself a favour and AVOID at ALL costs.

Amazing place to live, so social with games nights held weekly by the on-site student wardens, the staff is all very friendly. There is a great range of social rooms and there is a free Gym included in the rent which is exceptional, the cinema room is really useful for social nights with your friends and you can hook up your playstation to it which is awesome. Lauren on the front desk is super friendly and always very helpful with any issues that occur. Maintenance issues are fixed quickly by the maintenance team. overall a super positive experience of living here and I would recommend it to any student wanting to feel safe and happy all year.

All the staff are fantastic, very welcoming and always on hand when needed, the facilities are brilliant and I use them often, they're easy to book for special events and a great place to introduce people to, I've already rebooked next year and got my friends to book here.

Fontenoy apartments is a great place to stay the building is modern/stylish and done to the highest of standards. The building is clean and very welcoming. Staff here are so friendly and are always willing to help me with any needs I may have. They put on film and games nights which gets all of the students to interact with each other. Fontenoy apartments is a great place for any student looking for accommodation and would highly recommend. The price for what you get is great I would say to anyone to book a viewing as you will not be disappointed.

During my time living at Fontenoy Apartments, I have had the best experience of living in a halls of residence since moving to Liverpool. The staff are both professional & friendly, and are always available to talk and chat if there are any issues. The social spaces are always clean and well presented, with a warm and welcoming feeling throughout. If I were to continue my studies for the coming academic year (Sep 2019), I would definitely choose to rebook & stay at Fontenoy apartments again.

Location is very central however the building itself is all style and no substance. It is plagued with endless issues that are more than the usual teething problems. Being brand new, it's not what you would expect, the wallpaper has fallen off the walls in the communal areas, the TV in the apartment has faulty signal, lack of security and social interaction between staff and tenants, no concern for the wellbeing of the tenants. We have had rats, break-ins and the flooring lifting in the apartment, lack of ventilation, the place is a humid tower and feels like a prison rather than a place of comfort. IconInc is a better accommodation and worth the price. For the cost of a room here, what you get is atrocious, avoid here if you want a social university integrating experience that is stress free. Tenants are allowed to vandal and dump trash wherever they want, the place at times can be a pig sty. Stylistically beautiful but lacks everything other halls offer. Would not recommend.

Brilliant absolutely astonishing place to live couldn’t ask for much better to be honest!!!

It`s quite new accommodation thus, room and facilities are clean and new. Also, the staffs are so kind. It`s located near the city centre and LJMU, library, and Lime Street station.

My time at Collegiate (Fontenoy Apartments) has been thoroughly enjoyable over the course of my third year. I have found the location of the accommodation (situated between LJMU and Marybone Library) to be highly beneficial to completing tasks such as my dissertation and similar assignments during third year. The staff at the main office are friendly and welcoming and are eager to help with any issues you may be having with regards to your room. Events are held by the Wardens in the Games room and lounge which allow students to interact and socialise with their peers.

Gorgeous hall, well appointed and run by lovely people. I’m particularly loving the dishwasher, mattress, cinema (great for mario kart) and the attentiveness of the staff. Would definitely reccomend
