Having stayed before as a Master's Degree student, coming back to Leighton Hall for my PhD studies was the only solution. Cannot agree more with what other residents have said; great value-for-money, the management does their best to match you with suitable residents, they consider complaints and take up action immediately. Due to the current circumstances, I haven't been able to spend as much time there as I've wanted, but I can't wait to return there for the remaining of my third year.

Good Afternoon, Many thanks for your review, it is appreciated. I am pleased to hear that staff members have been friendly, helpful and approachable. We pride ourselves on our en-suite rooms and Studios being good value for money, being comfortable and well maintained. Kind Regards Tina
Rooms and bed are a decent size for the price, right next to uni buildings and a 5 minute walk from shops. Don't have to share the kitchen with too many people and staff clean it pretty well either way. WiFi problems sometimes but its fixed pretty quick, same for other stuff that breaks, I have a friend at another accommodation who gets nothing fixed. Laundry room tends to be pretty busy and is only small but it's not the worst. Common room is okay but I don't really use it or know anyone who does. Office staff are lovely and very helpful and hardworking. Great value for money and I'll likely keep living here for the rest of my degree.
Good Morning, Many thanks for your review, we are pleased to hear that you will be staying with us again and remember we have a refer a friend scheme running (each receive a £50 voucher). If you do experience any further issues with your Wi-Fi, do contact ASK4 immediately who will deal with any problems that may arise. We have a good team at Leighton Hall who all work well together from the Office staff the Maintenance Operative and Housekeepers. The laundry room is open 24/7, so it's finding that perfect time when things are a little quieter. The Common Room is also open 24/7 with a free pool table, TV & games. It was kept closed during lockdown, but is now back up and running and free for anyone to use. Kind Regards Tina
Wifi works sometimes and the cleaners don’t always come in. But great friendly environment and the staff are always happy to help.
Good Morning, Many thanks for your review. The Wi-Fi is currently at 100mgb and we have not been made aware of any issues. Please contact ASK4 direct who will investigate any issues you may have.

We are pleased to hear that you have experienced a friendly environment during your stay and that the staff have assisted you when required. Kindest regards Tina
I enjoyed living in Leighton in general, especially very nice in the Summer, can lay down in the grass within the hall with sunshine. The weekly rent is reasonable at all comparing to other accommodations. Enjoyed the TV with a large shared kitchen, get socialised with my roommates for sharing food and watching movies together. There are also some great social activity to get to know about someone else live in the accommodation. The WIFI connection is good in general, no issues with watching movies and doing my assignment or playing games . Also enjoy the reception service provided by Tina and Jannie. Never missed my parcel or letters. I have a wonderful time of living in Leighton Hall, and met with lovely persons had there. HM

I have lived here for my whole three years at university, it is really good value for money.
Good Morning, Many thanks for your review. We hope you have enjoyed your 3 years at Leighton Hall. It is good to know that we provide good value for money. We wish you all the very best in your future endeavours. Regards Tina
The best things I liked about Leighton was the room itself, the rooms are modern with lots of storage and the bathroom is a nice size. The kitchens are ok,considering I had the en-suite plus room the kitchen was the smallest I’ve seen. But there is lots of storage and it’s a good area for social gatherings. The worst parts about it is how hard it is to get parking round there, I ended up paying for UCLan parking as there are very limited spaces at Leighton and is an additional cost.
Good Afternoon, Many thanks for your review of Leighton Hall. In one part of the building the kitchens are a little smaller but we do hope that this did not affect your overall stay with us. We appreciate that parking can be a problem around Preston and wish we had the space for more parking bays. Kind Regards Tina
Overall, I have had a good experience at Leighton Halls despite the pandemic, however I’ve found that sometimes the wifi goes quite slow.
Good Afternoon, Many thanks for your review. We are sorry that you have experienced issues with your Wi-Fi. Please do not hesitate to contact ASK4 direct should you experience any further issues as they monitor the connections on a room by room basis. Regards Tina
awful, had so many problems including noise, silverfish, and rats. Not a good place to live at all. When I moved back into leighton halls this year, both my toilet seat and shower head was broken. Had a major silverfish problem which took ages to get sorted. Would not reccommend to ANYONE
We are sorry to hear of the issues you have had since returning to Leighton Hall. We do our utmost to ensure any issues are resolved as a matter of urgency. The issue of silverfish involves 2 treatments to be carried out by a qualified contractor to ensure the problem does not re-occur. With regard to the rat problem, again this was dealt with by professionals and we cannot apologise enough for this issue. We can only put it down to the major works that are being carried out on Fylde Road. We endeavour to carry out on-site maintenance repairs within 24 hours. Regards Accommodation Team
I have stayed at Leighton hall for 3 years and I do like it here, the value for money is great, en suite, large kitchens, rooms large enough for student activities, it is great. cleaning of the kitchens has, in effect, not happened this year and the walls are quite thin so other tenants being obnoxious can be heard throughout the building.
We thank you for your review and the fact that you have enjoyed your 3 year stay with us. We are pleased to say that the kitchen cleaning has now re-commenced as things slowly get back to normal. We do hope that you have not had too many distrubances. Regards Accommodation Team
