The management at crown is so appalling, the man in the office does not bother answering your enquires and suggests you to email the place which is just him replying and saying he can't do anything after a few days. Had a summer moving in date and he single handedly slowed the process by fours weeks from end of June to July. I was not compensated for the weeks where I was entitled to have a room from the summer move in promotion or the fact I had to go up to Norwich several times to nudge the office to do something. The place is nice to stay apart from having no ventilation in the corridors that causes it to smell horrible. The receptionist, maintenance and security are very nice and friendly and it's a big shame that the management drags this place down due to their neglect. If you have any urgent needs your best option would be finding the head office number and get them to make the people in Norwich do whatever you require them to as he's so incompetent at his job.
This place had the best wifi, the best social spaces to work and chill with friends, all utilities were amazing I would definitely recommend
Lovely staff but very overpriced. The extra amenities aren’t worth the money.
very lovely environment and beautiful place to live in, different cultures and backgrounds making the place very unique
Well placed in Norwich. Secure building, nice and spacious for student accommodation.
Located just in the city centre (perfect location), the accommodation is clean and provides you with great hospitality. The front disk is very helpful and will guide you throughout your stay. The staffs were very helpful. The accommodation provides you with almost every facility for enjoying the moment with your friends. Overall experience was awesome. I'll recommend the accommodation to every student or worker :). You won't regret it, just be there:)
Crown place was a delightful place to live for your first year at uni.
Fantastic location and lovely flats but far too overpriced, staff members were fantastic and always ready to help however security could be rude and unwelcoming, maintenance was extremely slow and the flat was dirty on first entry which we had to clean by ourselves. Certain social spaces had equipment that was damaged (music room). WIFI and power to the rooms/ flats sometimes knock out but not enough to cause an issue. Overall a nice place to live that I enjoyed my stay in and would have 100% stayed in again if it wasn’t so expensive
Perfect location and amazing staff!
Staff was amazing and felt treated like a family member. Always helping with moving and always kept up to date with what’s going on in the building.
Very good location but the price is bit expensive compare with other location
Good place. Security could be more flexible and not as strict as they are
Absolutely amazing accomodation! My safely is taken very seriously here and I feel valued with any problems or concerns I have. Staff are always exceptional and polite. Honestly my year here has been wonderful, and I'm so grateful I was able to live here. Everything I could ever ask for was here, numerous study and social areas, gym and so much more. I genuinely loved living here and always recommend to friends looking for student accomodation.
Overall a decent place for any student to live especially first and second year, but due to it being a big tower block it’s probably not the greatest for final years who need little distraction, as the noise travels through the courtyard when the windows are open
Great place to live good staff friendly. Very clean . Good gym nice room.
I have been living here for 9 months, so far my experience is good with my current accommodation, it is safe, secure and staff is helpful even during off hours.
I loved living here and will miss it loads. only down side is no parking available at a reasonable price/included.
I love living in crown place, it’s comfortable I’m always relaxed in my living space and it’s super close to town, uni and food stores. Admin is always super fast to act on emails and issues! Security guards are rude and unwelcoming at night but amazing staff during daytime!
staff are all lovely and the common rooms are a good space to interact with other students, the study space is also good if you need a space to concentrate on your work
After spending 3 years in this accommodation the facility’s are great communal spaces are great to study in and socialise. The staff are friendly and helpful.
The staff are always so friendly and helpful and the rooms are spacious and modern unlike most student dorm rooms! It’s right in the city centre so you’ve got everything in walking distance, great value for money!
Excellent location and easy access to everything, staff are amazing and have helped me so much with my stay here
The two guards ( both are bald and skinny, one with tattoo all over and the other one with some beard and mustache ) at the reception when I move in one week ago ( 14th Sep 2022) was so unhelpful and rigid in doing their job that not only did they not let me check in, but chase me out of the building and let me freeze outside for about one hour in the midnight, they say they have no authority over the situation and said it was told by the manager that I cannot stay in the reception till next morning. Then I requested to talk to the manager directly but was also refused by them and they refused to let me know the contact of the manager. I understand the policy that customer cannot check in until they have cleared they payment, but I couldn’t understand why they did not let me at least stay at the reception and let me contact the manager to see if she could do anything to help me. The two guards were even behaving rude to me that they swear at me while I was reasoning with them.
The worst experience, the first day in England, sleep in a chair at lobby. I have two days in advance the crown place staff email and phone contact, confirmed in 11th September can check in at night. But when I arrived at this ****** place, the staff Don't let me check-in just because my name could not be found on the list. I don't understand how the management of the apartment works, and why such problems happened even after I contact them in advance by email and phone call. The crown place is the worst I've ever seen apartment, please book here, if you want to be like me, sleeping on a chair in the Crown Place lobby after a 16-hour flight, waiting for the manager come in the morning.
Very comfortable and modern accomodation. Clean and spacious and good transport links.
Hi Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. :)
Crown place is an overall nice place to live there are some small problems here and there but nothing major, the staff generally is helpful in resolving problems and answering your questions. One of the nicest things for an international student is the option of paying rent up front instead of having to pay for or find a guarantor.
Hi Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it was really nice to read your kind comments :)
Overall, I've really enjoyed my time at Crown Place. It's comfortable, with good study spaces and great facilities, including the gym and cinema room. Staff and management are always super friendly and I like the 24/7 security. Additionally, Crown Place is in a great location, right by the high street and close to Norwich University of the Arts. However, the price of the washing is quite expensive at around £5/6 per wash and dry. Also maintenance issues occasionally take a little while to rectify, such as replacing a broken shower head and light bulb changes.
Hello Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. So nice to read all your comments, please let us know if you have any outstanding maintenance issue by emailing crownplacenorwich@collegiate-ac.com and we will pick this up. :)
Very modern and created a great social environment, especially if you’re starting university. Staff are very friendly and the building is kept clean.
Hi thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, its really nice to read your comments. :)
It is a really nice, modern place to live as a student. Its one of the more expensive accommodations but it’s got a lot of facilities that many others don’t. However maintenance management is something that needs improvement as a lot of jobs need doing that have been on hold for a long time
Hi thank you for your review, sorry to read you have been waiting for maintenance to be completed, can you please pop an email to crownplacenorwich@collegiate-ac.com with the issues and we will pick them up for you. :)
I have been living in Crown Place this current year and have rebooked my room for the next one. It has very quickly become my home! I have settled amazingly in my room and feel safe and comfortable at all times. Thanks to its central location in Norwich, its modern decor and the incredibly nice people and staff that live and work in it, Crown Place boasts a lively, energetic and positive atmosphere. Ten out of Ten would recommend!
Hello We are so happy to read you have rebooked with us. Huge thank you for your kind words and the ten of out ten :)
My experience has been very enjoyable. I have met many people from all over the UK, as well as other comtries.
Hi thank you for your review, glad you are having an enjoyable experience. Its great to read you have met new people from around the world.
Great location in walking distance to everything, great social spaces that are always kept really clean and staff are friendly :) only downside is that it’s very expensive and living in a twodio (2 bedrooms + kitchen) you don’t get much for the price.
Hi Thank you for your kind words :)
The staff are really kind, friendly and helpful, despite the cost of the accommodation I love living here, especially since it's bang in the middle of the city.
I’ve lived at crown since September 2021, I’m staying another year as I feel so comfortable and happy about my experience here. The staff are lovely and welcoming and the facilities are great.
Hi We really appreciate your review, and love to see you have rebooked with us. We are so happy you are enjoying your time with us.
Absolutely brilliant accommodation. Very modern and with lots of space. It's perfectly situated in the city so lots of shops and things to do. Upkeep of the building is very good and staff are very friendly. Couldn't recommend enough
Hello, Thank you for your really kind review. Such lovley comments :)
I live here Currently and have rebooked my room for next year, lovely staff and sircurity team. The only thing I find fault in is the price of the laundry and the fact that the terrace is somtimes locked with no explanation. But overall a nice place to live. Lovely spaces to socialise and do university work and super close to everything in the city.
Hey, So glad to read you have decieded to live with us again :) thank you for your kind words regarding the team and security. we will take your comments on the terrace onboard and aim to notify residents should we need to close the terrace.
Overall a lovely place to live. However if I had to say what crown could improve on, the laundry could definitely be free for the price we’re already paying, especially because they don’t wash that great either. Also have very firsthand flatmates that never clean, but suppose that isn’t crowns problem.
Hello THank you, for your review. With regards to flat cleaning issues you can always discuss them with the team and we will help resolve them.
Honestly the best student accommodation in Norwich during the year 2019/20. The facilities are great and the room has everything you need. The shared kitchen is lovely however the couch was not soft and the TV was kinda useless. There’s a gym, music room, cinema room, study areas, games areas it’s the best place for students honestly. It’s right on the Main Street of Norwich which was so convenient and the walk to UEA took just as long as the bus ride. The reception staff were the best, genuinely nice people and my belongings always felt safe in my room. If you’re thinking of booking a room here you defo should!
Hello 660218 Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review. Sorry to hear the TV was kind of useless, if you want to let us know what problems you had with it feel free to email us. Huge thank you for the kind words regarding the team. :)
I've stayed at Crown Place for 2 years and had nothing but great experience! The staff is so helpful and lovely. Lots of social spaces and community events. Sad that I'll be moving x
Hello 960028 Thank you for your lovely review, Glad to hear you have enjoyed your time with us
Amazing staff that is kind and caring to the students that live here. Great facilities around the building plus large open areas for people to socialize. A good response to the covid-19 pandemic, looking after all the students in their care whilst being in the building
Hello 859776 Wow thank you so much for your kind words. we are so happy to hear that you have enjoyed your stay with us :)
Crown Place is a very nice place to live, the staff are lovely, there are lots of very nice social spaces (including fun activities in non-covid times such as movie night in the cinema room or yoga in the studio!), it is in an excellent location in the city centre within walking distance to NUA and a short bus ride to UEA. I loved living here over two years and would definitely recommend it to any student in Norwich!
Hello 859775 Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Its really nice to read kind reviews. We cannot wait to start holding events again. :)
There were definitely negatives such as the communal areas being closed because of Covid. There have been building works my whole time at crown which they said would be done in 2019 October. Regardless I’ve loved living here my flat is very modern and pretty. I like having my own bathroom too.
Hi 1159774 Thank you fo taking the time to leave us a review :)
CRM Norwich offered a nearly perfect student accommodation if only it wasn't for the awkward management of access to shared spaces throughout the pandemic. Having said this, relationship building with on-site staff was most delightful from 2019 to 2021. I encourage everyone looking forward to study at NUA or UEA and live within the city to book a good room ASAP if they can afford it.
hello 959758 Thank you for your review, thank you for your nice comments :)
We had a few issues with our flat when we first moved in due to things being rushed to finish before we moved in but aside from that everything was really nice and they were generally pretty quick at fixing anything that wasn't working properly :)
Hi 559724 Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. :)
I stayed in crown place in 2019/2020, unfortunately the building wasn’t fully finished when I moved in however this didn’t affect my experience as I was in the tower that was mainly done. I didn’t use the basement facilities all that much but there was lots of space to meet people and have a fun time! Internet at the time was 200mbps on an Ethernet cable and I believe has since been upgraded to 300? Some drops were expected due to the number of people living there, however this was soon remedied. Overall a nice place to live if you don’t mind paying the large sum of money. I paid £153 a week when I first moved in but I have heard it is more expensive now
Hi 659703 Thank you for leaving us a review, Glad to read you enjoyed your stay with us even with the delay. :) we are very lucky to have a large communal space and so glad you got to enjoy it.
Great memories at here! It’s really a convenient and comfortable accommodation with nice officer!
Hello 459701 Thank you for leaving a review, so glad to hear you made some great memories here. :)
It was a nice place to live in but never felt homely & felt more like staying in a hotel for the year. The kitchen and living room was the best part because it meant you got to be more social than in accommodations like All Saints Green. My flatmate’s ceiling panel fell through & broke her laundry horse. I think it was put together quickly & there were lots of small mistakes in my flat, like floor bubbles & blinds that didn’t work. It’s good but a weird experience.
Hello Ryn, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, glad you enjoyed the social space, sorry to read you had a few problems.
It’s just a nice place to live, whenever I walk through reception it’s always a smile and a hello, whenever there’s an issue (which have always been small things) it gets resolved there and then. Loads of facilities. I’m the city centre so shopping is a doddle. Through the Corona Virus we’ve been kept up to date with everything that’s going on and what we can and can’t do. All in all not to shabby!
Hello 1159695 thank you for your view, and your kind comments. Glad to read we kept you up to date with corona virus. Hope you had fun shopping :)
I have been living at Crown Place for about two years now (barring a few weeks at home during the various lockdowns), and it is probably the best student accommodation I could have found. The rooms are very generous for space, not leaving you feeling cramped like other places might. Beyond that, the social experience you get, both with those in your flat or those in others is brilliant. Amazing value for money, great social spaces and facilities, all while placed at a location that's both convenient for travel and granting amazing views over the city. What more could you want?!
Hey 1159692 wow thank you for your great review, such nice comments, if you have any photos of the amazing views we would love to see them :)
In the middle of town (best location!) and super close to the bus stop for UEA. Its my home away from home.
Hello 859690 Thank you for leaving us a review, we are glad that you see Crown place as your home from home :)
lived in a Travelodge for a month... overpriced and maintenance staff are none existent
Hello Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We were sorry to hear that you feel the maininance staff are non existent, we can assure you that Colin is here Monday to Friday excluding bank holidys and his holiday. We did unfortunately have to allocate students to the travelodge located next door in our first year. However, all students were notifed that this was the case on booking and offered meal and laundry allowance.
Definitely not good value for money considering it is a lot of money. For example, free weights were removed from the gym with no explanation as to why. It is a nice accommodation but not worth its high price. Explore other options and don't be fooled by the pictures.
Hi 103818 Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. :)
Dismissive management over covid, prices put up and locked to longer contracts next year, still uses circuit laundry (£5 for 1 wash and dry) which slowly increases too. First year was nice, second showed they didnt care all that much for the students. On site, the management were nice to speak to, the flats themselves were great if overpriced.
Hello 559684 Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. :)
I am staying at crown throughout my university studies and I have had positive experiences with the staff and the building. It is worth the money for all of the spaces that are available, plus the 24/7 security is great and makes all the students feel safe.
Hello 1059682 Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Glad you have enjoyed your stay with us. :)
Overall quite nice, the on site team is welcoming, lovely and helpful to talk to.
Hi 859394 We love to talk to you too.. thank you for your review :)
Probably the best student accommodation in Norwich. Definitely good value for money, you get the terrace, social spaces, study area, cinema room and etc. The rooms are also really nice and flats are fun to live in. The internet is amazing. Laundry is a tad expensive but where isn't it.
Hi 1159051 Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review, glad to hear you have enjoyed your time here. :)
The best student housing in Norwich! This is a lovely modern and friendly housing with amazing staff and spacious rooms! Perfect central location close to NUA and next to buses for UEA it’s the perfect student flats!
Hi 1058962 Thank you for your review, so nice to be called the best student housing in Norwich :)
As a third year student looking to focus on my studies, Crown Place has been an amazing place to stay. The rooms are modern and the whole building is always kept clean. I love the atmosphere of the building and all the facilities available including the gym and quiet working spaces. The staff are friendly and easy to communicate with, and have been extremely supportive when dealing with small issues. Both the security and the staff are always helpful and positive, making you feel welcome and safe.
Hi 1158941 Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, :)
Lovely accommodation, nice staff and good facilities. Unfortunately I was not not able to enjoy the many facilities this year due to coronavirus so I can’t comment on those really, however the rooms are nicely designed and very comfortable to live in. Staff are always happy to help! Can be a bit restricting in terms of having guests, so may not be ideal for those with friends mostly outside of the accommodation. Otherwise great
Hello 558927, Thank you so much for your lovley review :)
The accommodation is great but DO NOT rent here if you cannot afford it! There is no leeway, the staff are no help, you can't cancel your lease for any reason EVEN if you decide you don't want to live there anymore or CANT for any reason and there's always builders and construction outside! If you can't afford to spend 10 grand or more a year, its not worth it!
Hi 100744 Thank you for taking time to leave us a review
My experience living at Crown Place was very pleasant, this was due to many factors. The 1st being that I was placed into a very good flat in which I have gotten along with all of my flatmates. Other reasons include the fact that we have 2 people on the front desk at all times. It is never empty. This means that if I am struggling with work or just living on my own in the day or night, I can always go down for a natter with the security guards or with the staff on the front desk. Another reason why my experience has been so good is due to the atmosphere this building gives off. It is a new build and counted as private accommodation rather than connected to the universities directly means that I have a more calm sense about it. I also feel like it attracts a more mature student feel to it. Overall I am very pleased with where I have lived this year. Infact, me and my entire cluster flat of 4 have rebooked for next year, so I am looking forward for more great experiences to come!
Hello Nebula, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review. Your comments are lovely, the whle team including security love a good chat. It really nice to read that you like to chat to us to :)
Could have been excellent if it wasn’t for the treatment of students through lockdown
Hello 100158 Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review
I have loved my time at crown place it is such a friendly atmosphere and the accommodation is high quality
Hi 99885, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review
I haven't been able to be very social due to the pandemic but otherwise I'm very satisfied with the accommodation overall. I've always been listened to and made to feel cared for by the team here. I found myself in an unfortunate situation with a flatmate and the team went above and beyond to accommodate me on short notice. As an international student, I am happy to be able to feel safe in the place I live in during such difficult times.
Hello 99865, THank you for taking the time to leave us a review, :)
The staff are amazing, so welcoming and make you feel at home. My only criticism would be there are no weights in the gym and we haven’t been able to use the social spaces during the pandemic yet we are still paying for them.
Hello 1257740 Thank you for your review, and your kind comments. Sorry we could not have the social spaces hopefully we will have them open from next week J
Could not have found a better place to stay while at university! The rooms are clean and spacious, with great facilities for everyday use. The accommodation team are incredibly friendly and helpful, as well as supportive through all of the lockdowns. The building is very central with a multitude of shops within walking distance, while also being close to NUA, and a short bus ride from the UEA campus. Absolutely would recommend this accommodation to anyone!
Hello 1057493 Thank you so much for your lovely review. We would not have survived the lock downs without our great residents like yourself. Thank you for supporting the team.
Amazing accommodation! Love it here! I’ve lived here for two years now and will definitely rebook for my third! The staff are so kind and helpful!
Hey 857492 Thank you for your review and your very kind comments. So happy to read that you plan to live with us for your 3rd year, maybe longer of you decided to do a masters? J
Staff are very friendly and polite. Shower pressure changes a lot and sometimes goes off for a little while. Not enough plugs in the kitchen.
Hey 1357482 Thank you for your review and your very kind comments. If you have a chat with Colin he might be able to find you a plug. J
Very friendly and helpful staff, modern accommodation and facilities. Loved staying there!
Hey 857477 Thank you for your review and your very kind comments
The staff that run crown are the loveliest people and are always great to talk to! They're always doing the best they can to make the residents safe and comfortable and take allot of pride in doing so! My first university year wouldn't have been the same without them. Occasionally the wifi can be patchy, especially when at peak resident capacity, but overall is very strong. The social spaces are crown's defining features: the TVs in every cluster flat are fab and the cinema and music rooms are super fun to be in. In my first year at crown (2019-2020) I had a great time meeting new people, unfortunately the social experience is very dependent on who the residents are and nothing to do with crown place themselves.
Hey 957472 Thank you for your review and your very kind comments, we love a good chat, especially to break the day up from reports J We are so happy we were part of your first year at university, and that we helped make it an enjoyable experience
I stayed at Crown Place Norwich roughly 1 and a half years. The staff are all really friendly and made my stay there feel special, having friends downstairs at the front desk whenever I wanted to have a chat about anything. The accommodation itself was clean and well maintained. And comparing it to others nearby it was by far the nicest. It deserves the crown in its name. The wi-fi was always fast, it had a blip every so often when I used my Nintendo switch, but that was all. The social spaces were big and there were plenty of nice things to do such as go to the gaming room, cinema room and karaoke room. Me and my friends liked to make use of these, renting them out to play DnD or jackbox games. When I first moved in I had issues with my flatmates, but the staff were able to move me to a much friendly flat where I got along with all of them. Overall my stay there was amazing and is defiantly a great experience I will remember when I look back to university in the future.
Hi CLA5HES We love your review, your comment of deserving a Crown J It is so nice to chat to residents, Lisa who would drink tea in reception all day long if she could. Colin loves sharing a story or two, Reece will chat books to anyone who will listen, Adam our onsite geek will talk your ear off about D&D and finally Leyen our part time vegan she can talk for England. So we all love a good chat. J
Crown Place Norwich is an amazing place and a must for any student. The facilities there are great and can appeal to everyone from the games room to the cinema room there is always something to do. The building itself has an amazing modern design with state of the art appliances. Social areas are great whether you wanna play a game of pool with mates or sit in the study area to get your work done. The onsite team are really friendly and are always willing to help and have a chat. Living here has made my uni experience so much better and couldn’t imagine not living here and will always recommend this place to anyone looking for someone to stay throughout their uni experience.
Hello 857459 Wow what a great review, thank you so much. We love chatting to residents, and not just because it gets us out of doing reports J We love to hear about your day, and how you are getting on. Look forward to chatting to you more throughout your stay.
I have been living at Crown Place since it opening in 2019. From the day I viewed it until now I have been very impressed. I love my studio so much I’ll be staying for another 3 years!! Love the management, especially Lisa, Adam and Colin. They’ve supported me so much during both national lockdowns, which I am extremely grateful for. I would highly recommend living here, regardless of year of study. I am a PhD student myself and I don’t feel out of place and can’t complain about noisy neighbours thankfully! I look forward to my future experiences here.
Hello 57456 Thank you so much for your review and your lovely comments. Thank you for all your support to the team during the lockdowns, and during your stay. It is so nice to read such nice comments, congratulations on your PHD, we are over the moon to read that you have chosen to live with us for the past 2 years and will be living with us for the next 3 years.
