Great location and kind staff but room has flooded multiple times (which as been a problem in the past) and the management team seems completely uninterested in fixing the root plumbing problems.
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear that you don't think we got the leaks fixed fast enough but good to hear that you liked our site team and location.
The management staff at LKH is SO horrible that it takes away from the other pleasant experiences of the form. They are rude, unwilling to listen, and extremely terrible unprofessional. I would not recommend anyone to live here and suffer the inevitable experience of talking to the support staff. From the cleaning staff to the reception management, utter disregard for residents and rude behaviour is persistent. The quality of room is fine and the location is excellent but it does not compensate for the management’s attitude.
Really sorry to hear the management staff at LKH weren’t able to help in this instance and didn’t meet the standards we would like. We will use your feedback to make things better for the future. If you would like to give us more details about what went wrong, we can try to put it right for you. Pleased to hear you liked the location and room though.
Bad maintenance. Rude, lazy staff at the front desk and in housekeeping. Common areas not cleaned regularly. Would not recommend staying here.
Really sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay with us and had issues with our maintenance, cleaning and office teams. We will use your feedback to make things better so if you would like to give us more details about what went wrong, we can try to put it right for you.
I have run into multiple issues while living at Lilian Knowles, including extremely rude staff, an unresponsive studen warden, security concerns, and broken appliances. I so wish I had gotten an apartment instead of paying high rates to live in this building.

Thank you for taking time out to leave us a review. We are pleased that you found our residence value for money and a fantastic location.
Poor sound insulation. You can hear exactly every step from above. Congratulations to you if he or she is an active walker who sleeps late night and wakes up in the early morning. You can barely sleep and concentrate on work because the walking sound can wake you up in awkward hours. Terrible sleeping and living experience. WiFi and internet service are not available few days this month. The common room and study room are quite small when comparing to some of the LSE postgraduate halls. Also, free printing service is not provided. The only good thing is the location. It's near the Spitalfield Market, 24-hour supermarket, Liverpool Street and Algate East stations, and Shoreditch. The transportation network is good.
Really sorry to hear about your issues at LKH. We have since changed internet providers and service levels have improved. Pleased to hear you liked the amazing location and transport links though - we love it too!
Terrible experience. WiFi is constantly broken and no intention of hall management to fix it. Warm water is off for days. Laundry room is more broken than fixed. Hall management takes weeks to respond to emails or just ignores it completely.
Really sorry to hear about your issues at LKH and that we weren't able to meet the standards we would like. We will use your feedback to make things better for the future and now have a different internet provider with better service standards. If you would like to give us more details about what went wrong, we can try to put it right for you.
WORST MANAGEMENT. they do not care about the students. i live on the 5th floor and my lift has been broken for 6 weeks now with no end in sight. all they tell us is "tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow". something as simple as fixing a lightbulb in my room took 3 weeks. making the washroom fan work took 6 weeks. Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT COME HERE. believe me. you will thank me later.
Really sorry to hear the management staff at LKH weren’t able to help in this instance and we weren't able to fix the things that broke in your flat as quickly as we would like. We will use your feedback to make things better for the future.
Extremely disappointed with the hall. I chose to live in student housing so I could avoid problems with administration and focus on school, but this has not been the case. The administration does not work at all, does not respond and when they do respond does not offer any solutions. We've had the lift out for 6 weeks, the fans in our bathrooms broken for 8 weeks, an oven that doesn't bake, only broils and smells of burning paint. After repeated conversations with management, we are just given apologies or ignored. Also, you cannot choose which floor or room you are in, so it's quite possible you'll be facing either a construction site or a street with a lot of loud drunk people passing who can see in the windows or into the common interior area where people are talking as they pass through to different blocks. Fire alarms go off quite frequently in the middle of the night or early hours of the morning. Really I would think twice before trying your luck in Lilian Knowles.
Really sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay with us and we weren't able to fix the issues you experienced as quickly as we would have liked. We will use your feedback to make things better for the future.
Recurring problems with electricity (kitchen appliances don't work in studio) and fire alarms, which the staff are unwilling to fix, regardless of promises made. Rather disappointing, considering this is one of the more expensive LSE halls. Not really a social hall, given that everyone is postgrad, but if you came here to study, that shouldn't be a problem.
Sorry to hear that some of the kitchen appliances in your studio room didn't work and that you had issues with the fire alarm going off. We will use your feedback to make things better for the future. Really pleased to hear you found the accommodation good for studying though.
Good hall with genuinely nice people
So pleased you had such a great experience living with us at Lilian Knowles House!
