Emily Davies Reviews

Hello students - Halls of residence - Southampton(SO15 2PU) is a useless place to live. Never consider taking this accommodation. I moved in here in OCT 2021. From day 1 lift is not working properly. Recently for the past 10 days stopped completely and they shut down it. If I enquire about it from the beginning same answer parts are coming from China. They are saying the same story from October. Another answer they gave lift is not mandatory it seems for 5-floor building, they are providing lift facility mainly to carry your heavy packages and in the young ages, you should not use lift. Then laundry is free but useless. If you want to wash your clothes it will take half of your day. To dry it will consume a minimum of 2.5 hours. Washing another 1 hour, so think 4 hours we have to spend for washing. This is the worst washing machine I saw in my life. Always dryer will not work due to some heating problem. If you enquire about that management will say try use 1 or 2 kgs of cloths for dry

Absolutely the worst place to come to live. There are places for students that are much cheaper and have better living conditions, facilities and overall experience (Kimber for example) The location may be great, but this is genuinely the worst academic year of my life living here. Awful neighbors, machines that constantly break down, poor communicative services with the maintenance and general house keeping team Honestly, just go somewhere else (anywhere else is better), and I really do hope they stop using this place as a student hall by next year

Appalling. Unclean. Unorganised. Bad management. Always having issues. Never resolved every. Worst year of my life.

Really small and good hall feels like you are at home.

Showers are cold and keeps breaking, the walls are thin and so many people here seem to ignore the fact that some students need sleep and don’t want to hear other people’s overly loud music and talking at stupid times of the night, cleaners will b**** at you for making the slightest mess in the kitchen and the reception were awful over Christmas. I couldn’t even get some parcels about 3 days before Christmas so some people didn’t get their presents! Good value for money I suppose, but the place is pretty crap! I don’t know if they’ve let it slip because its being disused by next year or what?

Cleaners are useless, showers are ice cold, every kitchen and bathroom has a silverfish infestation, laundry machines aren't looked after or cleaned and ruin your clothes. Tacky decor.

The wifi here is terrible and the common room is tiny. Apart from there not bad

Best possible location as its right in the middle of everything but very basic and quite dear.

Tiny Common Room/kitchens/laundry. Not designed to be a halls

Very boring, at least the showers are warm

Emily Davies may be looked at as a place where losers go to live, but I feel that this is a misrepresentation of us. ED is socialable, fun and in much better condition than most of the halls. ED 4EVA <3
