Austen House Reviews

Location is really central but not directly in city centre so not loud at night! Only 10mins from uni and has parka near by that are great in the summer months. The photography room has been so useful this year for my studies and for brining my course mates over to work together too! Staff are great and manage all the social spaces so you don’t get interrupted. Maintenance guys are good too and really friendly. Really enjoyed staying here this year was sad that covid has cut my time short but I’ll be back next year for sure.

Austen House is a great place to live and staff have been so helpful during lockdown, especially Mini she’s so helpful and happy. Social spaces are great they have 11!!! Silent uni is soo close just 10mins away! Rooms are a nice size with lots of storage. Enjoy the mix of people and the events that helped me to make some friends for life! Thank you Austen House I will miss you!

Love my shared flat with friends. Room is spacious and modern. Lots of social experiences which is great for making friends and getting to know staff. Close to Uni which is ideal for me! Would recommend!

A really great location, super close to the city centre and the NOCS for my studies Staff are all very friendly, parcel system runs smoothly and there are often events and free food in the common room However, the vast majority of students are from Solent Uni and being a fresher at Uni of Southampton I found that I had little in common with my flat mates (only 1 of 4 flat mates was also a fresher) and consequently I felt pretty lonely In addition both my neighbours had little respect and played loud music both throughout the day and as late as 4am The walls are paper thin, you can hear people talking even at normal volume, drawers opening and closing, and the light/plug switches are especially loud I would recommend living here as a 2nd or 3rd year with people you know as the price is good and the accommodation itself is really lovely, clean and modern But as a fresher it just doesn’t have the communal feel that i would imagine halls has

Really great, social place to live

Great staff there although would recommend if your looking for social life

Austen halls is amazing halls with great facilities!! Has cool thing like always getting dominos pizza in and has awesome events which gets all of the residents in the halls to know each other well and is in a very good location. No parking which is annoying but is a huge multi storey car park opposite if you really need somewhere.
