The staff at our reception are exceptional. They respond promptly and are always willing to assist with any help we need. They greet us warmly whenever we see them around the apartment. And the maintenance staff, Ken, is great!! Whenever there is a repair issue, he addresses it promptly and professionally. The apartment also organizes numerous events regularly. Overall, it truly is a wonderful experience.

My kitchen sewer system was blocked for a long time and I had to go to a friend's place for dinner, but when Ken showed up, everything went in the right direction, although it was a little difficult, but Ken was very patient and helped me unclog the pipe, Ken was my hero.

Hi there, thanks for leaving us such a positive review, we really appreicate the feedback! - Student Roost
I’m currently on third year and I’ve been here since first year and it has been a great experience the entire time. Other than the great things that come with the accommodation, the people are the ones that stood out the most. Exceptional service from staff and in particular Mr Ken Brumpton, he has gone above and beyond to ensure everything’s in place and working. I’d definitely recommend Vincent Place to any student looking for an accommodation.

it is a very surprising experience， pretty cool
Overall pretty convenient location, enjoyed my stay in there
Hey, thanks for the review! We think it's a really great location too, glad you enjoyed your stay!
The reception is very good to help Chinese student solve their problems. You can use the trolly to carry your supermarket’s parcels. Vincent Place is also near the city center, which is convenient enough to shopping and entertaining.
We enjoy supporting any student that moves in to Vincent Place, we understand it must be a huge change coming to not only a new place to live, but a whole new country and culture! We're really pleased you find us helpful and the location so great, thanks for the review :)
The location of VP is very good for shopping. And the reception is also very nice. Living here feels like home.:)
We are really pleased it feels like home, this is the best outcome we can ever hope for so thanks so much for the kind review :)
VINCENT PLACE IS PERFECT IN EVERY ASPECTS! I LOVE VINCENT PLACE!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! loving this review a lot! Glad everything is perfect for you :D
It has a very good location in Southampton, and the room here is very clean, so it’s really a good choice to live here I think.
We love being so close to everything in the heart of Southampton, it's so handy for the students so glad you like it too :) thanks for taking the time to review us!
24h reception is very nice，The reception staff was very good and the apartment was in a great environment.
Thanks for the review, really pleased all the staff are very good, having a 24hr reception is something we find really benificial for the guys lving here :)
Great ！, but it is always dirty around the door and inside the elevator on floor G, but it is cleaned up in time.
Thanks for the review :) we know it's a struggle with the lift area and corridors near the bin stores but glad it's normally sorted quickly. Always report to us if you notice this and we can come and clean it
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good 我为vp举大旗
Glad it is so good! :D enjoy your stay!
This is a great flat with a welcoming front desk and security measures in place. I had a very comfortable stay here. The rooms are clean and bright, the communal spaces are large and well equipped.
Thanks for such a great review! Really really pleased to hear that everything is good with your stay!
The location is convenient, and the reception service is impeccable，also, the staffs are willing to help with problems for the whole day.

Great location in city town and is convenient to any place, verrrry kind staffs and 7/24 reception service, facilities in good condition and equipped with things in need, large window and nice view. Sweet sweet home=]
Hi, thank you for the lovely review :) and we're really pleased you think of us as home! Some of the views here are amazing, we're very lucky with the central location and the shops and park being so close! Glad you're enjoying your stay!
Excellent daylighting and splendid view from the window. Circumjacent environment is good, traffic is convenient.
Hi, thank you for the review :) We're really pleased that you like your room and view and agree the location is very convinient! Glad you're enjoying your stay!
The staff are very helpful and kind, the gold studio is fantastic for space and all of the halls and social spaces are kept very clean. The facilities such as laundry and reception to receive letters are exceptionally good and any issues that we have reported have been treated seriously and dealt with very quickly.
Hi, thanks for the great review, we're really pleased that you are enjoying your stay with us and everything is good for you! :)
Me and my girlfriend have been living here for almost two years now, so it is about the time we wrote this review. I have to admit that I can't say a single thing that I disliked about our time here at Vincent Place. Rooms have a great standard, dual occupancy price is an amazing deal, fellow students in the building are great and the location is ideal! But the best thing about living here is the Vincent Place staff and management. Racheal and Tracy are both amazing at managing the building and they are even more amazing when it comes to hiring other staff. There has not been a single reception or maintenance person that has been rude or unhelpful. Every hired person is an interesting individual, which you can always talk to about everything. They will help you if anything is wrong and they will chat with you for hours if you need a conversation. During the pandemic lockdown that quality was a life saver! I definitely recommend Vincent Place. 5 Stars from me!
Hi, thank you for such an amazing review! We're really pleased you've had such a good experience, it's really great to hear! We try really hard to make Vincent Place your home away from home and take this in to account with recruitment so we are pleased to hear all the staff are helpful at all times :) Thank you!!
2021 is a year that makes people struggle with, however, the supporting team of Vincent Place is so friendly and helpful that makes me feel at home, the daily needs can be satisfied in time! By the way, the interior design of the en-suite is functional, we have sufficient natural light with french windows, cabinets and long desk that suitable for student's life, which also makes it a good reason to stay! Feel great to stay here.
Hi, thanks for the review! :) 2021 has definately been a hard and strange year but we are really pleased that you have felt supported by us and you feel at home here, the team have worked really hard to help everyone who stays at Vincent Place so it's great to hear you feel they have done a good job! We're also really happy you like your room and hope you enjoy the rest of your stay with us and are able to enjoy all we can offer when restrictions ease further :)
Have been living here for a year and so far it's been absolutely fantastic. I've seen a lot of other student accommodations and this one is by far the nicest. My room is very spacious and has tons of natural light and a great view. The few issues that I've had, have always been fixed very quickly. All the staff is always very friendly and helpful. Chats with them have definitely kept me sane during the Covid lockdown. I'm very happy to stay here for another year.
Hi, we're glad you are enjoying your stay with us and have chosen to live with us next year too :) we have tried to support everyone throughout this year while remaining within the guidelines set to us so we are really pleased we have been able to help "keep you sane"! Hopefully next year will be even better!
Had a terrible experience with an insanely dirty flatmate.. receptionists and managers not being able to do anything about it.. had to pay £50 extra a month to move to a different flat which was not fair at all.
Hi, we are sorry you had such a bad experience, especially on top of everything else this year, we know many people have faced tough times. We try to support everyone who lives with us through through any difficulities they have within the options we have available to us.
great student accommodation that allows dual occupancy at no extra cost and is located right in the city centre close to all amenities. Property team is always friendly and happy to help.
Hi, thanks for the positive review, always nice to hear :) Our location, and the free dual occupancy are definately bonuses of living with us here at Vincent Place as well as the 24/7 helpful staff.
the security is bad, fixing things is extremely slow, some gym facilities are malfunctioning and didn't get fix.
Hi, we have recently put in 24/7 staffing so that reception is open all the time and the building is manned by our staff to ensure consistency and security. We are sorry that maintenance issues are sometimes slow, this can be due to waiting for parts or contractors but we will take this on board as we are continually looking for ways to improve our serivce.
It's a really nice place to live, the only problem (sometimes) being the WiFi/Internet connection, which is sometimes really slow, but it's not the problem of Vincent Place, as the internet is being provided from an external source (ask4) and it's not Vincent Place's fault.
Hi, thank you for the review :) we are really pleased you enjoy living here. We too get frustrated with the WiFi at times and are working with the external provider to try and make it better for everyone
I’ve visited different halls but none like Vincent Place. It’s like home away from home.
Hi, thank you for the review :) this is the exact environment we are trying to create so we are really pleased you feel this way!
the dust catcher in our flat didnot work about 1 month ago，the staff took it away and never return it！
Hi, thanks for taking the time to review us :) please come down to reception and discuss with us so we can get this resolved for you
Great place for me. I feel comfortable and satisfied.
Hi, thanks for the review :) we are really pleased that you feel this way about us, if you think of anything more you would like us to do please let us know :)
Could improve public places clean
Hi, thank you for the review :) you will be pleased to hear that we will soon have a dedicated house keeper to assist our students with helping keep the communal area clean
It’s very nice, the location is convenient.
Hi, thank you for the review :) we are pleased you are happy here
The sewers are always clogged，and I hope the public areas can be kept clean.
Hi, thank you for the review :) we are re working the staffing here so care takers are only doing maintenance and we will have a house keeper who will be here to clean communal areas. However, students are still responsible for helping to maintain the cleanliness of the building
i like all of the reception，the all very friendly to help us
Hi, thank you for such a nice review :) we are really pleased that you're enjoying your stay with us
Generally speaking, it’s a nice place to live at. I like your staff here who are always nice and polite to everyone.
Hi, thanks for the great review :) I'm glad everything is going well
Good, I am satisfied with the hall.
Hi, thanks for the review :) we are really pleased that you are satisfied with things
Should be clean!!!!!Please....
Hi, thank you for the review :) we work extemely hard to ensure the building is cleaned to a high standard, to reflect this we are in the process of hiring a dedicated house keeper purely to clean, however, students will still be responsible for their own living spaces
If there is more common space, for example, common kitchen, that would be better.
Hi, thanks for the review :) we would also love the space for more things in the common areas but are unfortunately limited by the way the accomodation is built. However, with our new, enthusiastic staff at reception we are looking to put on more events that will hopefully make it feel like a better space :)
The exhaust fan in my toliet doesn't work for a really long time, it's weak and cannot pull out any exhaust but the staff told me it's working sliently...
Hi, thanks for the review :) we are working hard to push the issue of extractor fans, we need an external company to come in and fix these. We are aware it is very frustrating and cannot apologies enough
Reception’s stuffs are very responsible.
Hi, thank you for the review :) we work hard to get to know all the students and ensure that you feel at home while you are here
The speed of WiFi is a bit slow. The lift always broken. The fan in the toilet has broken for 2 months, and no one comes to fix.
Hi, thanks for the review :) we are aware of issues with the WiFi speed at the moment and are communicating with the provider to try and get this rectified. Again, unfortunately the fans are an on going issue that we are working hard to get someone in to fix. Please be assured that we are chasing this constantly and will update students as soon as we get a response. We are sorry for this as we are aware that you, and others are waiting
study space is too noisy when somebody are playing in the common room. Still has one more chair less in our kitchen, two months are passed.
Hi, hank you for the review :) if you feel there is too much noise in the evenings please speak to whoever is working, they can politely remind others that there are people studying and ask them to keep the noise down. In regards to the chair in the kitchen, please come to reception and let me know the room and i can look in to this for you
It is convenient to go anywhere
Hi, thanks for the review :) we love the location here, it is, as you say, very easy to go anywhere!
Room is a little bit small Poor drain in the bathroom Better water tap in kitchen, but poor one in toilet. As reported, rape happened in the park nearby.
Hi, thank you for the review :) if you have any concerns about the drainage you can report this to reception and the care takers will come and look for you. We are aware of the incident that has happened but please be assured the building is very secure and there are staff on site 24/7 to ensure that everyone's safety is upheld to the highest standard. If you are concerned you can come and speak to us and we will listen and reassure you
it is a comfortable living experience，but sometimes the wifi is not steady
Hi, thank you for the review, we are pleased you are comfortable here. We are looking in to the WiFi and are experiencing the same problems as you! Hopefully this will be smoother soon
Extremely slow to fix problems and poor management!
Hi, thank you for the time you have taken to review us. We are looking at hiring new staff so that the care takers have more time to focus on problems that arise. Please feel free to come down and talk to us at reception about why you feel there is poor management, we are always looking for feedback on how we can improve the quality of the service we provide to everyone, this is your home for the year and we would like you to be happy
Terrible maintainance and extremely slow to fix issues. Staff are lovel and location fantastic,but everything else is below decent
Hi, thank you for the review. We are looking at restructuring so that we have a dedicated care taker to do maintenance and a house keeper to do the cleaning so that the care taker can focus solely on maintenance issues, this should hopefully speed up the time things are fixed
I hope there can include a kitchen cleaning and flat public place cleaning as well, don’t need to frequently, but please do once a month. That would be perfect.
Hi, thanks for the review! We are actually thinking about offering cleaning next year for a small cost for cluster flats and anyone else who may want assistance. We also have a cleaning guide for students to help them :) :)
Can’t really fault the accommodation - friendly staff, nice facilities.
Hi, Thank you for the positive review! We're really pleased that you're enjoying your stay :)
No disabled access to the bike shed and no lighting, all social posters aren’t in English
At Vincent Place we try and be as accessible as possible to all our students, whether this be disabled or international. We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the bike store, this is ongoing and being looked at. We appreciate any feedback we can get so thank you for the review :)
Vincent is a nice accommodation and the reception is very friendly! This place has a convenient transportation, you can take a little time to take the bus to go anywhere
One of the perks of living here is being right by all the local buses and shops! We're glad you are enjoying your stay with us, thanks for the review
I think Vincent Place is one of the best accommodations in Southampton. Nearly by the certre and bus station, just need 20mins arrival highfield campus. If you have any problem you can find the reception,they are very friendly!
Being in the centre of Southampton is great, as you say, you can access most locations quickly and easily either by walking or on a local bus. We're very pleased you enjoy staying here, thanks for the review!
Vincent Place is a very convenient and comfortable place to live, and the reception is very friendly. I love here!
Hi, we're so pleased you love it here! We like to ensure we keep our students happy :) thank you for the great review!

Hey, thank you for the review! We're really pleased it's been such a great experience for you, we have a lot of international students and we are glad you have felt so at home here! Primark close by is also a very good perk!
Lovely place with absolutely fantastic staff

Everything is great, totally worth it
