This apartment is spacious, well-equipped, and conveniently located, but it comes at a higher rent. Ideal for urban living, but budget considerations are necessary.

The accommodation is definitely a great catch, you get really good amenities for a very reasonable price. The kitchens are cleaned every week which is the best part and not seen in other accommodations. It’s hygienic and a cozy place at a very good location! Must recommended

Had a lot of issues when I first moved in because they gave me a room I didn't book for - but Ethen solved it two weeks later. + Even though I had already paid the deposit, AXO didn't clearly inform me at all that I needed to pay the first installment before my arrival - basically didn't let me into my room if I didn't pay it, being an International student that really does put you in a very difficult position. If I hadn't had family here, there was no way I would've gotten my room straight after coming from Heathrow; don't know what I would've done. But otherwise, the staff are all lovely and the room's are good. The area is great for students and transportation links to central are definitely what makes staying here worth it. Would definitely recommend to a friend detailing on the positives and negatives (think the negatives points of what happened to me was bad luck to be honest).

I enjoy my life at AXO overall. The receptionist , Joy, is very nice and helpful all the time and assistant manager, Ethen, is also considerate and fast with any requirements. Cleaners used to be better and professional but cleaners we have now i feel they are getting a bit lazier. The events we have once a month are very nice for us to have opportunities to get to know our friends.

I lived in Axo Islington for 4 years while studying at university, and overall, I had a great experience. The accommodation itself was modern and well-maintained, with spacious and comfortable rooms. The common areas were also great for socializing and meeting new people. One of the best things about Axo Islington was its location. It was within walking distance to the university, as well as to many shops, restaurants, and bars. It was also close to public transportation, making it easy to get around the city. The staff at Axo Islington were always helpful and friendly, and any issues I had with my room were quickly resolved. They also organized many events and activities for residents, which was a great way to get to know my fellow students. One downside of the accommodation was that the wifi could be spotty at times, but this was not a major issue for me. Overall, I highly recommend Axo Islington to any student looking for comfortable and convenient accommodation in London.

Axo Islington is good however there were a couple of issues in the room when I first got there, and it took a while for management to resolve it, besides that it has been enjoyable.

I think Axo Islington is great choice, in September it was much cheaper than the equivalent gold standers rooms. You get all the amenities you would find in student accommodation. The location is great, Holloway Road has everything a student needs.

Axo Islington is probably the best option when it comes to value for money. You get an en suite and a big room in a decent location with good transport links. The social life is be uninspiring, but if you're socially minded like me this isn't a problem as you can find people anywhere.

Good location, close to university. Very overpriced, some staff are pleasant. I have had many issues with my room, for example mold and leaking in my en-suite bathroom. I have not been offered any compensation and the issue still hasn't been resolved since it was raised a month ago.

The advantages are staff clean the kitchen area daily and rooms on higher floors have a very good view outside the window. Facilities do have problems occasionally, though, and it takes more than 45 minutes to get to the university.

If this place was a 3/10, Ethan single handedly made it so much better. He was so helpful, he knew us all by name (which makes it all feel so homely), and would be the responsible friend managing everything. The other night guards were so strict it almost felt horrible staying here because of them. Being able to feel this accommodation as a home, is so important. Definitely need to get a farewell gift for Ethan

Worst experience ever. Rude security. Awful cleaning. No heating for 3 months during winters coldest months. Very poor maintenance (some things I have reported at the beginning of my tenancy are still not fixed). Everyone that I have spoken to who lives here agrees with me. I didnt have running water for 1 month & couldn’t shower. The list goes on! This is been the poorest living conditions I have ever experienced. Disgusting and really feels like the biggest waste of money.

I can honestly say I cannot fault my experience with AXO. I moved in September 2020 so I have lived in my accommodation throughout two lockdowns which means that I have not yet had the chance to utilize the social spaces available. However every other aspect has been great, the reception staff are amazing and so friendly, the maintenance staff are great and are on top of getting things fixed. The studio is spacious with high ceilings and I dont feel like I'm living in a box, I would say that the laundry services are a tad on the expensive side, however this is great value for money.

Bloomfield Court is a great value for money. The rooms are just great - they are large and spacious and all of them are en-suite with a private bathroom. There is a maintenance team on-site so if there is something wrong, i.e. your light does not work, they fix it within a day. The location of the accommodation is very convenient because you have all the main shops on the road, from Waitrose to Morissons. Besides, the Bloomfield Court team is very friendly and it is a nice environment to live in and I was very happy to stay there for another year.
