Read The Lyra Reviews
The staff at the front desk are friendly, but they do poor maintenance. 1) Some rooms have no openable window. 2) The air conditioning system is terrible; some rooms are too cold, some rooms are too hot. It can get up to 28C some nights in my house because I cannot turn off my heating. 3) The air circulation is awful. The smell of your dinner will linger all night.
Excellent location: very close to North Acton tube station (Central Line), with Tesco, Sainsbury's and a gym only a few feet away. The internet quality is good. There have been events for socializing on various occasions (e.g. Halloween), but I have not attended any due to my program. The social space is quite good, with a nice view and comfortable furnishings, but I have never seen other people hanging out there. I have had some really bad experiences in my flat (dirty flat upon arrival, 10 days without heating in November, 1 week without light in the bathroom) and the laundry service (extremely dirty washing machines), that were eventually dealt with. However, the manager only took notice and sorted things out belatedly, that is after I made some serious complaints. It should be noted that the people who work here are very kind and helpful, but there seems to be a lack of coordination and prioritizing. Overall, a good hall, but overpriced like most student halls in London.
