Everything is OK, It’s worth to renting the house, especially in London. However, the Hot Water issue should be solved.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

The room I got (I think it’s Standard Room) is a perfect size for one person. It is surprisingly spacious doesn’t feel crammed at all. I really love the room I got. The window is almost the height of the wall so I got plenty of sun. Wish there could be more storage shelves but overall it is enough for essential items. I wish there is an option for shared kitchen since that could enhance the community in the halls more. Even though there are social events, not many turn up but it is always fun to chat to the staff. The social life here is quite quiet since most people keep to themselves. The staffs are very kind and helpful. One thing a lot of people complain about is the heater not turning on. I think the temperature has to be low enough for it to turn on. But even in the coldest winter days it doesn’t turn on so it’s uncomfortable for many.
Good experience with nice amenities
The rooms are nice and spacious with ample closet and storage space. There could be more shelves in the kitchen area though. They could also organise more social events. The roof terraces are the best parts of the building.
Thank you for your feedback! We're pleased to hear that you find the rooms nice and spacious with ample storage. We appreciate your suggestions for adding more shelves in the kitchen and organising more social events. It’s wonderful to know you enjoy the roof terraces, as they are indeed a highlight! Your input is invaluable to us, and we look forward to enhancing your experience further!
The worst place I've ever lived in starting off with the whole building it's not the fact that it's old doesn't mean it has to be dirty. The common rooms and common spaces are constantly dirty and they lack maintenance such as the elevators the trash and bicycle area the roof terraces are full of cigarette, trash, and trash in general and they never get cleaned, my room has had so many issues and they take so long to resolve and often I have to tell them multiple times to solve an issue since the day one I got here I've experienced the day the day I got here I didn't even have curtains, I didn't have lights on my building The lights above the stove wasn't working and the kitchen sink was drained was clogged. I've been living here for six months and the drain the kitchen drain has been clogged ever since they come in unclogged once in while but it always gets clogged again and it's not me because I am really careful of what I put in the train and sometimes I don't even cook and still

Located in Central London with great transportation links. Great amenities including Morrisons, Lidl and M&S all within a
We agree the location is ideal - close to everything. Thanks for the review!
Everything is OK, It’s worth to renting the house, especially in London. However, the Hot Water issue should be solved.
Thank you for the review, we appreciate all feedback as it helps us create a better experience for our residents!
The service from the reception is usually bad, especially when getting parcels. (One security guy is always a poke face and not kind to us) The maintenance has been delayed for months. I had to follow up every day for more than one week to get things sorted out.
The building it’s self is very outdated and tired however what makes the place good is the staff that work there. Tash is an amazing front of house and billy is great and will always come up if you have an issue. Dan also likes to solve things quick and efficiently
The staff are lovely the area is also not bad
What's good about dashwood studio is that its near LCC, some restaurants, some stations and 2 Chinese supermarkets, its convinient to go out and buying things. However, whats funny about it, is that the Altitude of recepition people are EXTREMELY POOR. Some of them always prefer to have argument with you reather than solve the real prolem. There was a time, they told everyone in the studio to throw garbage better, or they wil stop receving ALL the deliveries. And when it comes to deliveries, it seems like they have so much hatery with deliveries, bacause they even made a rule about when we can collect our deliveries. It seems that their time of sitting there and doing nothing is SO IMPORTANT that they would have no more second to help us to collect our deliveries. We literally paid the money to let them be our BOSS, and tell us what we should do, thats one of the most redicilious thing I have ever heard. :DDDDD
Worse experience I have ever had in a private student accommodation.
We’re disappointed to hear that you’ve had a negative experience and would like to better understand exactly what has happened. If you could contact us on tenants@collegiate-ac.com we will be in touch to discuss the issue further.
I have been here for 3 years and it is the most convenient and comfortable student accommodation I could find in central London. The staff are very friendly and have been supportive through the pandemic.
Amazing student accommodation at a unique location with excellent transportation facilities. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly and work to solve any emerging problems. Due to covid the social spaces were closed for a long period of time, but when opened they offer a variety of activities one can take advantage of!
Thank you, we take all feedback very seriously and we're happy you enjoyed your stay with us at Dashwood Studios, rest assured your feedback will be passed on to the wider Dashwood Team.
