I stayed at Middle street for a short duration and I just loved it from infrastructure to management. If only I hadn’t booked my accommodation for next year earlier I’d continue to stay there for next year aswell.

I had a great time staying in Middle Street during my semester abroad. The studio I stayed in was very spacious and comfortable. Everything in the building is rather easy-to-use with an access card. The social facilities are great as well, from the common kitchens to the working spaces. What made the difference was the staff; Kayleigh and Vicky were always super friendly and ready to help. Whenever I had an issue, they listened to me very carefully and came up with solutions. I really appreciated staying at Middle Street and would recommend it to anyone looking for a place that combines calm and social life!

Living at this accommodation has been a great experience. I stayed for exactly three years and have nothing but good things to say. Location wise, it is probably the most suitable for students as it is near to almost everything! Lovely and very helpful staff, who are willing to accommodate your needs whenever. Spacious common areas such as study and social places where you can interact with neighbours and make friends for life - as it is my case! Overall, in my experience, this has been the best accommodation choice by far. Had I lived elsewhere, my university years wouldn't have been the same! - Gabriela Perez I.

We had a wonderful time staying at Middle Street despite the COVID situation. Vicky, Iulia and the team were so caring and answered all our questions. It was all COVID safe and maintenance issues were sorted quickly. The flat felt properly designed with a lot of storage space taken into consideration. The internet uses Glide which is fast when wired but didn't always connect straight away over WiFi. We found the coffee area to be super useful and the gym was definitely a plus too! We were sad to not have been able to take advantage of the social areas but we can imagine that the events would have been fun as the social area is huge and has lots of amenities. Overall we had a great time and were sad to leave.

Middle street is amazing. It’s literally right next to everything you could possible need, the university, the shops, the pubs, the clubs and so much more. It’s not just the location which is why I love this place though. It’s the people downstairs who work here who always do the most for us students. Even during the lockdown they managed to set up social events for us. I am here for my second year of living at middle street and I am living here for my third year as well. It is definitely worth it. I am living here with my partner so it very reasonable for money. In addition, the social areas are always clean and presentable. There is also areas downstairs which you can study, as well as a pool table and a football table and two big TVs and a PS4. It is a student accommodation. Any student would love to live here.

I've loved my time at Middle Street and would recommend it to anyone who wants their own space whilst still being able to get the feels for student living. Slight issue with the WiFi once in a while because they use Glide which is used by all of the student accommodations across Portsmouth. The staff are awesome and so lovely and helpful, definitely the best part about living here.

A great experience. But my experience was mainly ruined by the Pandemic. So I unfortunately couldn't get the full experience. But overall I think this place is a good place for students despite being a bit expensive.

The location is ideal for my course, it is literally right next door! The property is ideally situated with restaurants, bars, gunwharf quays, supermarkets and all major transport links within close walking distance. There is very little noise disturbance and the area is very safe. The reception team are exceptional and are truly a credit to the company. They are warm, friendly and extremely welcoming. No problem is to big for them to assist with. They have helped me through many personal matters and are always available to lend a comforting ear. I can not praise them highly enough. The facilities and social events are second to none and they have went above and beyond in light of the circumstances regarding the pandemic and lockdown. I am so glad that I chose this property to stay in during this period, as it has made my students and mental health so easy to keep on track. I would definitely recommend this property to students looking for residence.

Best place to live in Portsmouth, highly recommended! The building is located within a few minutes walking distance from the city centre and Uni. Everything is always sparkling clean (and I am obsessed with cleaning), during the year there were a lot of cool social events. Most importantly, the accommodation has brilliant staff. They always greet you with a smile and solve any issue within hours. Everything is taken care of for you, you literally can relax and focus on your studies. I really can not stress this enough, this is by far the greatest student accommodation.

Best accommodation. Clean, lively vibe and there will be always someone to help you out. If your new in Portsmouth, I recommend Unilife because the people are very nice and the hospitality is perfect.

First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you and the Unilife team. Every time I go out from the door of Unilife, I can get your greetings, just like my family, which makes people feel warm. I never need to worry about my studio, because I can get your first help in any situation. So I think the luckiest thing to come to Portsmouth is to meet Unilife and meet your entire team. That's the biggest reason I'll stay with Unilife.

I would not recommend living here because they illegally steal students' deposits by adding clauses in their tenancy agreement contacts. They have refused to give back my deposit unless I agree to give them half, even though what they are charging students for is illegal! Good: 1. Mostly Clean 2. Friendly staff Bad: 1. They charge £90 each time you forget your key in your room. 2. The rooms and building gets VERY HOT and no cooling systems to prevent this. 3. If you’re a first-year student or would like to meet new people, I would not recommend here as you will find it hard to meet new people as everyone has their own studio and don’t integrate.   4. They illegally take most of your deposit. They deduce for random things. 5. You may have to pay an additional £100 per month for council tax - even if you’re still a student. If you don’t then you’ll be threatened with court like I was. 6. The coffee machine is not available 80% of the time.

£1,200 a month for a studio. It’s crazy! My rooms view was a tower block! I now rent a one nice spacious one bedroom flat in southsea next to the beach for £900 that also includes rent and utilities bills. Middle street was nice! but a rip off! You can get more for your money with renting privately!!
