Been to 3 ‘well known’ student accoms in Reading since I came here in my foundation year, I am now in my 3rd year of Uni. I have to give a shoutout to Kendrick for actually giving a sh*t about students welfare, keeping the communal areas tidy and additionally provide 24/7 security and maintenance on standby… Anyways It’s been so long since I had a good ol’ all day breakfast due to the rising inflation, however Kendrick goes the extra mile to provide breakfast for a week once a month, so yeah it’s a solid 9/10 for me

It's a very good student accommodation, especially the reception, relatives, friends and children. And helpful.
Thank you very much for this lovely review. The staff really appreciate you taking the time to rate our team and service
Welcoming staff, well located with it being in between the town Centre and Whiteknights campus so thats perfect for a student
Thank you for this review, which allows others to see what a great location Kendrick Hall is situated in.
Kendrick Hall is located in a very convenient location. Staffs are helpful and friendly. However, it could help with some routine cleaning services throughout the year. Moreover Tlrhe kitchen and rooms are not well cleaned upon arrival and some equipments are broken
Hi there, thanks for your review, we are sorry to hear there was na issue when you checked in. We would welcome an opportunity to ask you about this, if you ask to speak to the manager she will be more than willing to see how we can make this up to you
Marilyn was very enthusiastic and helped me with my problems.
Hi there, Great to hear Marilyn was able to help you, she is always willing to help our students whatever the situation you can rely on her :)
I’m so surprised this accommodation came first, meaning other accommodations must have been so bad. Don’t waste time or money coming here. The only good thing about it is the location. Everything else is disorganised. Management don’t answer your problems till you literally scold them. The structure of the rooms are so horrible, when I first moved in it stunk so bad and was so dirty I had to clean it myself. There’s been several occasions where they have left students with no hot water to shower. Rooms and bathrooms are so tiny. There’s so much wrong with Kendrick. Go somewhere else
Hello, we are very sorry to hear of your disappointment with our property and team. It appears you`ve not had the same great experience other reviewers of Kendrick Hall have. Whilst we cannot do anything about the structure of the building, we would encourage you to make us aware of any specific concerns you have. The manager has an open-door policy for all students and can be found most days in the common room, please feel free to reach out to her so she can help resolve any issues for you Thank you for your feedback as it`s invaluable to us, as we strive to maintain the recognition, we`ve received as the number one University Halls in Reading.

Living at Kendrick Halls for the past three years has been an incredibly positive experience, one that I feel fortunate to have had. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a warmth and professionalism that set the tone for my entire stay. All the staff members are very helpful especially Mrs Marilyn Carter which by her willingness to go above and beyond to help with whatever I needed has made my time here not just comfortable but also truly enjoyable.

Hi there, so glad to hear Marilyn was able to help you. She `s always so helpful
Areas that the accomodation are in charge of cleaning clean are always 100% clean, they only reason it’s got a low score for me is due to other tenants not keeping the kitchen clean. However, every other aspect of living at Kendrick is lovely. They host unique events in the hub to liven up the social life and to get us connect, which I am extremely grateful for. The rooms are quite cozy and the perfect size to have my own space and not have too much to clean. If there are any issues, the staff ensure they are quick to amend them so we can go about our day without worrying.
Thanks so much for your lovely review and kind words. The team really enjoy hosting these events so it`s great to know you`re enjoing them. We`ll pass your comments on to the team. Thanks again
Really appreciate Kendrick holding social events such as free breakfasts, craft nights or movie nights!! Staff is also lovely
Thank you for your review, we love holding these events for our students. If you have any ideas for new events please let us know.
My stay has been really good and never had a complaint, the staff are very friendly and helpful and would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your review, I will pass your kind comments on to the staff who will be delighted to hear this
Good accommodation for students, offering many social events to meet people and not too far to the university.
Thanks for sharing your experience of Kendrick Hall. The staff enjoy running all the events and look forward to seeing you at the next one.

Thanks so much for your review, we`re delighted to know you`re enjoying living at Kendrick Hall. Remember reception is open 24/7 if you need anything the staff are on-hand to help
Kendrick Halls is a really good off-campus accommodation. Most importantly you get your own bathroom and certainly do not have to worry about the cleanliness of your flatmates when they use theirs. Although you, with your flatmates have to clean your kitchens yourself, it's still a very good accommodation with wonderful customer service. It's about 25 minutes from campus by foot ( which I don't mind) so my Spotify premium doesn't go to waste anyways. All in all an 8/10 accom, not by any fault of kendricks, but some flatmates aren't as clean as others so it's basically a gamble. If you are lucky enough to get clean flatmates, kendrick halls will be amazing. It's also just like 20 minutes from the town centre too, so you got that over on campus students!
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to complete a review and rate us 8/10.If you need any support with your flat mates the team are on hand and more than happy to help, Thanks again
Nice comfortable rooms. Close to town.
Thanks for your review, glad to hear your finding the accomodation comfortable
