live here for two weeks. Always lack of hot water during busy times in evening (20:00-24:00) and this is in summer. Daytime hot water supply is normal, but still be careful when you want to live here outside of summer or you are a cold shower enjoyer then thats fine. There is East central house which is better in its location for transportation and shopping daliy necessities

My stay at Cross Court has been the perfect way to settle into London. The rooms are a nice size and the bed really comfy. Amazing location, so close to Angel, the city center, and Kings Cross The staff at reception have been exceptionally welcoming, friendly, and attentive, especially Barbara and Hugo. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Not a good student accom but not the worst either. Started construction work right before exams and continued throughout exam season. No regard for students with dust allergies. 4th floor was dirty throughout stay. Management is great though. Especially Barbara, she’s a gem. Helpful and attentive

The reception- literally all the staff - are so so so lovely and welcoming, I think this is what topped off the whole experience, they’re very helpful, and I really enjoyed everything, I would definitely recommend this accom to first years as it really encompasses what a uni hall/uni life should be. Nothing bad to say :)

Location: 7 minutes walk away from school, which is very convenient. Food stores like Bagci (opens 24/7) and Co-op are just one corner away, saviours of urgent needs. Angels, where the nearest tube station, farmers market, and collection of groceries stores are at, is just 15-20 minutes away from this place. Service: Receptionists are incredibly friendly and thoughtful. They greet you everyday, keep an eye on your parcels, respond to any complaints or requests almost instantly. Cleanliness: The cross court team has monthly kitchen inspections and they clean the hallway from time to time. However you should pray that you have responsible flatmates when u get here. Safety: Late night walks are not encouraged as there has been criminal activities happening nearby. Receptionists limit visitors number to control noise disturbances and safety for us. Facilities: Lift has been broken for months. smh. But there is stable supply of hot water, wifi, heater. Recommended.

Receptionist is generally very friendly and willing to help out whenever you need something. Kitchens are well-equipped but the walls between the rooms can be quite thin, so I don’t recommend you making too much noise because it can be distracting for your flatmates, but all in all it’s close to the uni and very convenient in terms of places to grocery shop, restaurants and pubs :)

discovering london by living in cross court was a really good. Being in a very good neighborhood, near angel and also being close to uni couldn’t be more convenient. In addition from having a great and quite big room, the staff is very friendly. Cross court house is a very good accommodation with great surrounding and good facilities.

Hello friends chai peelo It’s a shame how these rooms are orange in colour. It gives me depression every day I wake up and never have I ever felt this homesick because of this toilet. It’s funny how my kitchen sticks sooooooooooooOooOoOooOo much. Plus my flatmates all of them stink so how do you expect me to have a clean kitchen. Secondly the laundry room is also stinky and it’s quite haunted tbh. How do you expect us 18 years old children to be brave enough to go to the basement alone when our friends are not willing to go with us. As I entere the building there is a diffrent smell everywhere till I reach my room Yet you guys do nothing about it. Noise complains, I am always getting. It’s actually depressing maintain our noises when my friends are over maybe you guys should have thought about making the walls a little thick so my stupid neighbour does not have to complain everyday. Even he stinks btw. Thanks friends peace

All city University students will love the accommodations at Cross Court House. I had spent the previous year living in Newcastle and I was very unhappy because the accommodation was dreadful . I was first afraid when I moved to London because I believed it would be horrific, much like Newcastle. I was wrong ! I was stunned shortly after I had moved in . It immediately felt like home  . The employees helped me with my bags, gave me a warm greeting, and showed me around. The employees at Cross Court are really helpful and polite. Congratulations to the staff Dan and Barbara, I love them both . Their upbeat attitude brightens the atmosphere at Cross Court. The description of my room before I moved in was accurate. Extremely clean, quite roomy, and I had a window that looked out over the canal. Social life was wonderful ( we had out secret parties ). Location was super close to uni . Overall, Cross Court was a wonderful experience for me, and I hope I can return the following year.

I got ALL MY MONEY STOLEN, all my belongings had been moved or touched and my toilette had been used and left very dirty, on the same day that the staff came into my room to bring something in. When trying to solve the situation with the management I personally found them unwilling to help. For legal reasons, I have to say that I have no evidence it was the staff, and therefore I am not accusing them, but I am clearly stating that this event took place on the same day they they went into my room.

PROS: - Internet/Wifi is free (you can add multiple devices) & good quality - The location is fantastic (walking distance to work, Angel tube & Shoreditch and beautiful canal nearby) - Comfortable bed CONS: - The bathroom and kitchen are poorly maintained (yellow stains in shower, dirt in corners of the floor). - The common room has no opening windows(just glass bricks) so no ventilation so it's like a stuffy sweatbox). - Same for kitchen - no ventilation because no windows/extractor. - The building design is very poor. On the fourth floor you exit the lift, go up three stairs and then down 6 stairs to access the rooms. Doesn't make sense. - CIRCUIT LAUNDRY - terrible service as the app often stops working so you can't use the machines. The machines don't wash your clothes/etc properly and often they come out dirty AND the location of the laundry room is so far away it's too far to carry large loads of clothes. - when reporting any maintenence issues - bad service

Its very expensive for what you get. The en-suits aren't brilliant for socialising so I would recommend talking to others on a social networking site before moving in.
