Most helpful review

The forge overall is really good and I would definitely recommend staying here as a student. The studios are worth the money and great in size. The forge offers many different activity/cinema nights and does special events things throughout the month. There’s always a few freebies to get. The maintainance team is lovely and extrmely helpful fast to sort out any repairs that need doing or looking at. All the staff are lovely and extrmely helpful.

They moved us into a rat infested building A boiler had a severe problem to the point water was pouring out of the Walls from inside to out with a member of their staff refusing to turn the water off in the property because he did not want to get wet The constant lies And mistakes ( which appear all the time) They did not have everyone's rooms prepped correctly missing items They have left people without hot water for amonth They have left gates and doors broken and unable to secure so rats could enter our building They took away our bins shared and left us nowhere to leave our rubbish apart from in two trolleys and on the floor The washing machines are absolutely disgusting and dirty and they refuse to do anything about it. The hallways were not cleaned regularly Your keys don't always work on your gate and sometimes it locks you out Member of staff stalked me and try to intimidate me and backed me up in a lift There so much more do not go

The forge is a good accommodation choice for either university, as it’s located not far from either. The location, being right opposite an Aldi and a 24 hour shop, is really helpful and convenient.

I've really enjoyed staying here the first year, it's genuinely been really good. But could have been a little cheaper, since it just makes more sense to go for a house share for the cost.

Lovely reception who are always happy to help (Ameenah and Freya in particular). Good location but not much chance to interact with other people.

Worth every buck. The location is very good with all the grocery & necessary services available nearby. Rooms are very spacious and maintenance is very apt. Overall happy with the service. Would definitely recommend it to my juniors.

The staff are very welcoming and helpful! To name one, Alex ( Forge reception guy) is always there to deal with my issues and circumstances and has been very generous (giving away sweets) and overall bright, caring, meticulous chap.
