I chose to stay at Hox Park originally becuase I missed the application for uni halls. Experience at Hox Park is far better than staying at uni accommodations, walls are thicker, the room is more spacey and the wifi is better and quicker as well!

The environment is very nice and quiet, the rooms are clean and comfortable, there is a free shuttle bus to the university and the shuttle bus is basically on time and very convenient.
Good Afternoon, Thank you for your lovely review! The bus is very convenient to get to and from Royal Holloway and is only a 7 minute trip :-) We love the surrounding areas of Hox Park and the beautiful scenery, it is great that you do too. Have a wonderful day, Jo and the Hox Park Team
I chose to stay at Hox Park originally becuase I missed the application for uni halls. Experience at Hox Park is far better than staying at uni accommodations, walls are thicker, the room is more spacey and the wifi is better and quicker as well!
Hi, We also think we are better than Uni accommodation! :-) Our rooms are a great size and each one comes with its own wifi router to give the best service possible. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us review. Kindest Regards, Jo
Hox park provides a very homely environment with tight security making a students confront their priority.

Best private accom in the area would highly recommend compared to campus or other options
Hi! Thank you so much for your review :-) We may be biased but we do think we are the best too! With lots to offer, a range of room types and a beautiful location, there really is everything at Hox Park to make it a home away from home. Have a wonderful day! Jo and all the team
Very clean and convenient for Royal holloway student
Hi! Thank you for the 5 stars and your lovely review. It is always wonderful to read and hear about our resident's experience and are very grateful. With Kindest Regards, Jo and the Hox Park Team
I've stayed at Hox Park for 3 of my 4 years at university and absolutely love it. The reception team and management are absolutely lovely. Any issues are taken care of immediately. The gym is such a great amenity and I love all the events they put on. They're a really supportive and helpful team. It's absolutely worth the money and I would recommend to other students.
God Morning, Myself and the whole team at Hox Park are so grateful for your kind words and wonderful review. It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you and we are sad this is your last year :-( It is lovely to hear you recommend us and have enjoyed the various events we run regularly. Have a super day, Jo and the team
It’s a good place to live but a bit far and inconvenient if you cant drive. Also doesn't have many shops nearby. Other than that, it’s well maintained and I love living here.
Hi, I am so glad to read that you love living here and we do maintain Hox Park for our residents. The gardener comes weekly to ensure beautiful surroundings and gardens tended to, the cleaners are always ensuring the communal spaces are looked after and the whole team takes pride in Hox Park as we also love being here. We do offer car parking at Hox Park as well as the free shuttle bus taking you to and from Campus. A short walk down the road is Englefield Green which has a couple of pubs, restaurants and convenience stores. Further in to Egham you can find everything from supermarkets to a cinema and printing shop! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review and wish you a wonderful day, Kindest Regards, Jo and the Hox Park Team
Hox Park is a fantastic place to live! The site is surrounded by beautiful parkland and is only a 20-minute walk from campus. A regular bus service runs every 25 minutes, making the journey onto campus just five minutes (and it's free!). The staff are always so friendly and consistently go above and beyond to help. The bills are inclusive of power, water and internet too! There is a fully kitted gym on site, which is also free for residents. The rooms are arguably the best student accommodation Egham has to provide. The ensuite rooms are spacious, with a double bed, and the studios are exceptionally spacious! The communal area, Hox Hous, has a study space, games area and lots of seating, making it the perfect place to relax off campus, and it is always kept in pristine condition. Hox Park is undoubtedly the best value-for-money student accommodation in Egham. I couldn't possibly say anything bad about it!
Good Afternoon! Wow, what a fabulous review - we are genuinely incredibly grateful for the time taken and the detail included. It is always wonderful to be appreciated for the work the team do and we love every minute of it! Have a fantastic day, Jo and the Hox Park Team
One time I was walking through hox and suddenly I got attacked by the love of the community. Thisbyear there is a lack of community but I was attacked by a hyena and hox security didn’t help until I shouted to them help the hyena. They didn’t help the hyena. Long story short there’s a hyena buried under the courtyard that will give prosperity to all students due to black magic. I love Hox Park and the fact that a Hyena got battered and they let me rebook proves why Hox Park is the best accomodation
Hi Abdulrahman, Thanks for your interesting review of Hox Park....I hope the black magic helps you successfully pass all your courses at Royal Holloway and brings you much happiness! In all seriousness, it has been a pleasure getting to know you last year and this year and we are really glad you are staying with us again for the next academic year. See you soon! Jo and the Hox Park Team
Extremely nice place to live. However , because it is a student accommodation, a lot of people don’t understand how a nice place like hox park should be treated which is upsetting.
Good Afternoon, Thank you for your lovely review and for taking the time to do it for us. It is wonderful that you see Hox Park as a nice place; we agree that it is too! Different people live in different ways and we get upset also if our accommodation is not respected. Luckily though, this does not happen often and our cleaners are on hand to ensure the communal spaces such as the beautiful Hox Haus, the gym, laundry room and grounds are cleaned and tidied daily. Always come and speak to us if you have any concerns as are here to listen and help. Have a wonderful day, Jo
Good accom with good staff and good rooms.
Hi! Thank you for the review and your kind comments :-) The rooms are lovely. Whether you have an ensuite in a shared apartment or a Luxury studio, they all have lots of storage space, great big windows for plenty of light and everything you need to make Hox Park a home away from home. I love feedback and would welcome your thoughts on how we could do better to get a higher rating next time? Please do not hesitate to drop me an email or pop down to Hox Haus. Have a lovely day, Jo and the Hox Park Team
The reception and management team are always happy to help, no matter what problems you face, everyone is so welcoming and friendly, the location is good for travelling to university as their is regular bus links every 30 minutes
Thank you for the 5 star review! We are always very appreciative when we see lovely comments like yours. As you say, we are always happy to help and will all we can to support our residents. The bus service is handy! It is free for the residents of Hox Park and only takes 7 minutes to get to campus so it it easy to get and from campus. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us the review. Kindest Regards, Jo and the Hox Park Team
What a fantastic place to live! The staff are incredibly friendly and will always go out of their way to help with absolutely anything. The facilities including the free gym, games area and study space are exceptional, and the site itself is beautiful. It's only a 5 minute free bus service to Royal Holloway and a beautiful 20 minute walk to campus. The rooms are spacious, modern and functional, the bathrooms are a great size and the showers are huge! I would recommend Hox Park to anyone and everyone!
Good Afternoon! Wow what a wonderful review - thank you so much for taking the time to write it. I really do love hearing about our residents' experience at Hox Park and we will, as you say, do our absolute best to help out everyone where we can. We love our rooms too and with ensuites averaging 14.2sqm ranging all the way to Luxury Plus studios at a fantastic average size of 25.5sqm they truly are a wonderful size with options for everyone. The gym is open 24/7 for our residents and the free bus service is a wonderful bonus! Have a fantastic day, Thank you Jo and the Hox Park Team
lovely accommodation but definitely bad signal in the area, can’t take phone calls
Good Afternoon, Thank you for your review and I am so glad you love the accommodation. We do too and think our studios and ensuites are a wonderful size! The phone signal can be a little tricky in our beautiful, but scenic location, therefore we have installed WiFi routers for every room so hopefully you can use WiFi calling and the internet instead. I personally find that Vodafone has the best signal in this area so recommend this network where possible. If there is anything more we can do to help, please let me know. Kind Regards, Jo
Experiencing best time of my life
Good Evening! I am so happy to read this review! I love that you are having a great time and are enjoying life at Hox Park. With regular events and great social spaces, we hope everyone who lives here has their best time too. Have a wonderful day, Jo and the Hox Park Team
staff are very friendly, however the prices are way to much! However does cover bills but still overtly priced in my opinion
Good Afternoon, I am so sorry you feel this way regarding the pricing but am thankful for the kind words regarding the friendly team. We are always on hand if you need us. As you mention, all utility bills are included and we do also offer free carparking and a free shuttle bus service to campus. Within Egham, we are competitively priced compared to the other private student accommodation providers and offer a range of room types. Hox Park is unique in it's location surrounded by beautiful scenery and we even have a playing field our residents can use for sports if they wish. I do welcome all feedback and therefore if you believe there is anything more we could be doing, please let me know. Kind Regards, Jo
A brilliant place to stay so so glad we chose Hox Park for our final year at University! The staff are amazing! Would love to have blinds in Hox Haus though as the sun coming through can be quite problematic especially for people with light sensitivity.
Hi! Wow thank you so much for your review! I love that you are enjoying your time with us and am sad it is for your final year! The team love to get mentioned and it really means a lot as nothing makes us happier than making our residents happy :-) Thank you for your feedback regarding the sun in Hox Haus and getting some blinds. The 'great' British weather means we don't often see the sun much however I fully understand how at times, the large windows and sunshine may be very bright so please let me look in to this and see what we can do. Many Thanks, Jo and the Hox Park Team
Amazing friendly community and team ! A lovely space to come back to during the stress of University.
Good Afternoon! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a lovely review! All the team here at Hox Park will always do our absolute best to help anyone and we truly care about our residents. We love to have a coffee and a chat so never hesitate to pop down! Have a wonderful day, Kind Regards, Jo, Gabbi, Adrianne and Sandra
This is my second year living at Hox and I’m so happy with the accommodation that I’ve decided to stay for my third year too. I’ve made really close friends with my flatmates and the large shared kitchen/living space has meant we were able to do Halloween movie nights, Netflix binges, and a Christmas dinner together. The staff are always super friendly and helpful and the recent events they’ve put on in Hox Haus have been great for my mental health. The gym is well stocked and cleaned regularly. Any issues I’ve had with the shower, lights, and sockets have been promptly fixed within 24 hours by maintenance.
Hi! We love having you live with us and I am so glad you are enjoying it too and have booked again for next year. Making friends is what student life is all about and I am overjoyed to hear the plentiful space within the communal kitchens has allowed you to do this. The gym is great; it is open 24/7 and we keep it clean so everyone can safely use the equipment at a time that suits them. Exercise is also great for mental health along with joining our events, which we love to see people at and am delighted you enjoy! Harry and Barry are our Maintenance Technicians and they are super happy that you have mentioned them :-) They always try to fix items as quickly as possible as we never wish to leave a resident with anything not working. Kindest Regards, Jo and the Hox Park Team
Hox is a lovely accomodation but the people are very anti social
Good Afternoon, I am so glad to hear you love the accommodation! We have different events that we do regulalry and encourage people to meet and make new friends whilst living with us. If you have any ideas on how we can improve this and do anything different, please do let us know. Remember, my door is always open if you ever want a chat and a coffee so please never hesitate to pop down to Hox Haus. Many Thanks, Jo
I love living here, it has amazing amenities and the managers take care and respond to any needs we have.
Hi! Thank you for your lovely review! We love the amenities too and I am glad to hear you have enjoyed them and are enjoying living with us at Hox Park! Our residents feedback, welfare and enjoyment is really important to us and we always try our absolute best to help where we can. With Kindest Regards, Jo and the Hox Park Team
The receptionists are superb, have been living in the property for three years
Good Afternoon, Thank you so much for your review! Sandra and Adrianne are over the moon to read your comments and it is wonderful that you have stayed with us for three years. Many Thanks, Jo and the Hox Park Team
The Hox Park team is absolutely fantastic, there customer service is second to none, the site is beautiful and the rooms are the best quality within the area. I would highly recommend Hox Park to anyone looking at private student accommodation!
Good Afternoon, Wow this is lovely to read! Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We also believe Hox Park is a beautiful site with lovely grass areas and scenic surroundings. The team love to do all they can to help out everyone and it is wonderful when this is recognised. Thank you again, Jo and all the Hox Park Team
Wonderful experience living here！
Hi, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We really do appreciate the time taken and am glad to hear you are having a wonderful time at Hox Park Kind Regards, Jo and all the team
good place to live, super nice people and comfortable community
Good Afternoon, Thank you for review and especially for mentioning the team; we do try our absolute best to always help and are here every day for any assistance that may be required! Kindest Regards, Jo and the Hox Park Team
Hands down the best place to live in Egham/Englefield Green. The facilities are great, the rooms and kitchens are well decorated and spacious, they look exactly like the pictures. All the rooms have an incredible view as well, either of the courtyard or the nature outside if you prefer more privacy. The gym is well equipped and the common area (Hox Haus) is the best hang out spot. The best part though is probably the staff, extremely supportive and efficient and will resolve all issues promptly. The reception team are super kind and understanding, they host events with free goodies, food, drink and snacks all year round and it’s always a pleasure to speak to them. There is on-site security 24/7 that make the place extremely safe. The maintenance team are also very efficient, all maintenance issues no matter how big or small are resolved within 24 hours free of charge. There is also a tight-knit community of students. It’s most definitely the best environment for students
Hi, Thank you for your review! The rooms do have great views and are exactly as advertised. The gym has lots of equipment, is open 24/7 and is very popular with our residents so I am glad you also agree. A special thank you for mentioning the team; we will always help as much as we can and are here to listen to any issue, no matter how big or small. Thank you again, Jo and the Hox Park team
Far away from the rest of the town so can feel a bit secluded. During covid all facilities like social spaces and gym were closed and there was no reimbursement. Some staff members are nice, others not so much.
Hi there, Unfortunately during times of covid we had to follow government guidelines and close the use of communal spaces however normally the gym is open 24/7 and Hox Haus is open from 8am-11pm every day for studying and relaxing with friends. Hox Park is located just moments from Englefield Green where you can find shops for your essentials as well as restaurants and a pub. We do offer a free shuttle bus to our residents to go to and from campus and this runs regularly every 25 minutes (during term time). I am sorry about the team and will look in to this for you as we are here to help and support in whatever way we can. Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Jo and all the team at Hox Park
Really lovely place to stay and great extra spaces. Only issue was that it was not very clean when I moved in.
Good morning, Oh no, I am so sorry to hear it wasn't as clean as you would expect. If there are ever any concerns regarding this matter, please always let us know and we will ask the cleaners to pop over as soon as possible to rectify as they are in every day of the week. Have a lovely day, Jo
The green spaces are gorgeous and although the gym is a little small, there are quiet times in the day when it's empty. It would only take me 20 mins max to walk to uni but the shuttle bus to and from is also handy (although I didn't use it often as I prefer to walk. The staff and security are always lovely whenever you need them and, even with the restrictions this year due to covid, they also put on some restriction friendly goodies around christmas and easter. When I first moved in, the flat had things from the previous tenants in the kitchen and it was clear that the space hadn't been cleaned. But I did move in during the Covid pandemic so I can understand the snags, and things that were broken were quickly replaced with no fuss. Hox Haus is a really lovely study space as well as social space with the pool table and fusball table as well as some cosy nooks for late night studying. The rooms are a great size, I was in Juniper and out kitchen was huge! Can have noisy students though
Hi, We love our green spaces too, they are perfect for walking in and relaxing on sunny days! The free bus is great but as you say, the walk to campus is only 20 minutes too so however you choose to get to campus, you can be sure to be on time. We love to hold events and it was such a shame we couldn't do more during covid but I'm glad you enjoyed the treats we could provide. Hox Haus is beautiful and has lots of space for studying or hanging out with friends. Sorry about your noisy neighbours. Security are always on hand overnight if you have any problems and will happily address any issues there may be. Have a wonderful day and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Jo and the Hox Park Team
The buildings were always very clean and the staff always friendly. They sorted out issues quickly and effectively providing the best possible outcome.
Hi there, Thank you for your review. Our cleaners are in every day ensuring the site is clean and kept looking gorgeous. We are a friendly bunch and always try as best as possible to sort and resolve any issues there may be. Never hesitate to pop to reception to come and a have a chat if needed. Kind Regards, Jo and the Hox Park team
Despite not being able to utilise social spaces in Hox Park due to the pandemic, overall, the experience I had in Hox Park was enjoyable. The quality of the accommodation was very high and the staff catered to our needs.
Good morning, The pandemic was a difficult time for everyone but hopefully we are through it now and back to 'normality'! Unfortunately the social spaces did have to be closed as per government guidelines but I'm glad you still enjoyed your time at Hox Park. The rooms and accommodation are lovely and exactly as pictured on our website. Thank you for your review and the team will be over the moon to have a mention too! Kind regards, Jo and the Hox Park Team
Hox Park is the best accommodation that one can choose in Egham. The rooms are amazing and the communal spaces are spacious and well organised. Moreover, the gym is the perfect addition to the place as you can always go for a quick session there.
Hi, Thank you for your 5 star review! We may be biased but we look believe we are the best in Egham! With great sized rooms and wonderful communal spaces, you don't get much better than Hox. Have a wonderful day, Kind regards, Jo and the Hox Park Team
At the start of the year I was in a normal flat, but due to Covid I realised it was much beneficial to be in a studio room so that I was staying to myself. The whole Hox team really helped me to have a swift room change which was amazing! They are also always happy to help and smiling! Extremely helpful staff during Covid!
Hi, The studios are lovely with their own kitchen areas and dining tables so I am not surprised you decided to move! Thank you for the mention of the team, they are always so pleased to hear when we have made someone happy and hope to help as much as possible in any situation. Kindest regards, Jo and the team
(Social experience= N/A due to COVID-19 restrictions but an amazing accommodation with lovely staff on site. Beautiful location and awesome set up!
Good morning! Thank you for your review! Hox Park is in a beautiful location; we are next to Runnymede National Trust walks, the Air Force memorial, surrounded by trees and green areas and even better, just a short walk or free bus ride to campus! I am so glad you have enjoyed Hox Park Kind Regards, Jo and all the team
I lived here for 3 years and weighing up everything, my stay at Hox Park was good particularly in the first year when it was brand new. Pros: - Very modern facilities - 24hr gym (precovid) - Great modern decor - Social area in Hox Haus spanning 2 floors where you can either study or play games like chess, jenga, table football, pool, PS4 & Xbox or watch TV - Double bed - Lot's of storage room and space in your room - Friendly staff - Hold free events and free food e.g. Halloween, Easter, Christmas, Chinese New New Year - Free parking - apprx 3 min drive from the top of Windsor Great Park / Deer Park - 2 min away from Kingswood halls - Quiet Cons - No lift in any of the blocks - Fire alarms go off all the time and are super loud - Building works for luxury retirement home still not finished since 2018 (so sometimes annoying when you can hear the builders at 8am in the morning). - Far from campus (20 min walk) and shops - Share the uni bus with Kingswood which comes every 30 min
Hi, Thank you for your review and feedback. Your review of Hox Haus is spot on and we do provide all the entertainment including the pool table and giant chess! We do have parking available and the team are onsite 24/7. I am happy to report that the building works for next door are now complete so no more drilling and banging around, just stunning houses to look at instead. We do not have lifts however upon booking you can choose which level you would like to live on. The ground floor rooms are equipped with privacy blinds to allow in the sun but close out passers by or the top floors give the best views so it is completely up to personal preference. The bus is provided free for our residents and runs back and forth to campus regularly or it's is just a 20 minute walk on those sunnier days. It was wonderful having you stay with us for three years and we hope you are keeping well. Kindest Regards, Jo and the Hox Park Team
Lovely staff and a very safe space - I will be rebooking and looking forward to spending another year at Hox :)
Hi there, It is always wonderful to have the same residents rebook with us. We love getting to know people so never hesitate to come to reception and have a chat or a catch up with the team, especially if there is anything we can help with. Have a lovely day, Jo and the Team
Beautiful Place to live in, good facilities and friendly staff. Only wish it had a lift
Good morning, Sorry we don't have lifts and apologise if this was an inconvenience to you. Hox Park is set out in 10 blocks of rooms, all 3 stories high and now with our new website, you can choose which room and which floor you would like to be in, giving more option upon booking. Thank you for mentioning the facilities and team! We have the communal spaces and gym as well as beautiful green spaces to relax in and soak up the sun. Have a lovely day and many thanks for taking the time to write us a review Jo and all the Hox Park Team
I’ve lived here for 2 years and it’s been very good! The facilities such as the study rooms and gym are well fitted for my needs! The staff are really friendly and the bus to campus is easily accessible! Highly recommend
Hi! Thank you for your lovely review! Im so glad to hear you have enjoyed your time at Hox Park. The study spaces and gym are well equipped for everything you need. The team love it when they get a mention and will be over the moon to read your kind comments. Kind Regards, Jo and the Hox Park Team
Great environment and facilities.
This has been a really good experience living here. Loved the staff. Really nice people
Great place to live for RHUL students, the flats have nice rooms with a double bed and great communal areas, with a TV.
Really good facilities, lovely staff and rooms
The staff members are really nice and create a real community there :)) the flat was quite dirty when we all moved in but apart from that its great !
Great facilities. Buildings are only a few years old. Management is great very polite and try to organise some social events. The rent prices are very high and the common kitchens should have been cleaned once a week by the cleaners.
Having lived in Hox Park throughout a pandemic, I can safely say that there are few other places I would rather be in such a time. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating, and the rooms are excellent.
Have lived in Hox Park for two years now and can honestly say is one of the best student accommodations I’ve seen, the internet and on site parking have been a huge benefit as well as the modern and well maintained gym.
All the desk staff are incredibly polite and helpful, which sets the tone for a modern, well-maintained and well located student accommodation, with large, clean rooms and perfect spaces for studying, socialising and exercising.
Overall I have had a very good experience living at Hox park. I love the location, though I do have a car so it may be more difficult for those who don’t as it’s right at the top of the hill. But the free parking is great. The accommodation is great, with lots of great facilities. The only downsides are that there is no phone signal in the buildings so if you want to make a call without WiFi you have to go outside and the management is not great. We have people walking into our flat all the time without warning, don’t know if this is worse being on the ground floor, we had people moving into our flat in January without anyone letting us know in advance, bearing in mind this is all happening during Covid. And I know there have been issues with some of the reception staff. However, if this is stuff that doesn’t bother you, it is a very comfortable and nice place to live and I have enjoyed it!! It’s generally pretty quiet too
Ash studios. Hox is located at the top of the hill with a free bus service to campus and £1 service to Egham station. There are multiple shortcuts and footpaths. 2 around Kingwood, which take you towards Egham or the Uni. The former takes you on a downhill footpath between fields. The scenery is worth being uphill for me and mitigated by the bus service. Any other location from Hox around campus is downhill. The Hox gym is a big plus. The gym membership on campus costs a few extra hundred and considering the gym is integrated smack bang in the middle of Hox, it's worth much more. The reception staff and security are reasonable, kind and receptive. Social spaces are very good apart from studios which have no shared area or kitchen. As a result, the halls are very quiet as all of the extras are within the room. It would've been helpful to have a mop which is my only qualm.
Great value for money. The staff is very welcoming and helpful! The social spaces are great for fun nights with friends and for studying. I especially like the large windows in all of the accommodations in Hox Park. Would definitely recommend!
I love staying at this accommodation, staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. Though the location is off campus, hox park has a private gym facility and social spaces available on site. The rooms are very spacious and well taken care off. The kitchen is well equipped with all necessary catering facilities too.
Hox park has been one of the best things about my Uni experience, its beautiful, fun, well managed and the staff are incredible!
Great social and study spaces. Nice location with a regular bus to campus. Rooms are well thought through with reliable WiFi. Having parking on site is also really useful. Any complaints are dealt with quickly.
Comfortable and nice place but as a business in terms of customer service, not so great.
Though it may be a little out the way, a 20min walk from campus at rhul, the bus service helps students at hox stay connected very well!
Nice place to live. It is worth the price.
