There are better places with better prices. This place is super e expensive and the property is not well managed. The lift is often out of service and the fire alarm is always sounding
The team welcomed me and are very helpful. The student accommodation is good and room is spacious
Thanks for sharing your review for The Lyra! We agree, the studios are so spacious and it is lovely to hear how welcome our team made you feel! Hope you enjoy the rest of your time at The Lyra!
- Location is great: Tesco Express, Sainsburys Local, Costa, Dominoes, Subway and a Chinese supermarket within 5 min walking distance. 24h Asda about 15 minutes away, but the walk there is sometimes filled with rubbish and quite unpleasant. Quick access to Tube station, just beware that 90% of your travels to Central London will rely on the Central Line. - Quiet environment with minimal partying. Great for postgraduates and students who want to focus on their studies. - Very safe area. As a female student, I had no problem returning home past midnight. Streets are usually very well-lit. - Uses Glide Wifi so expect the same internet service if you’ve lived in accom that uses Glide. There have been some disturbances but no outages have lasted more than a day. Usually very reliable and quite fast for streaming. - Would recommend booking a flat in Block A as Block B has no reception nor laundry room. - Big, comfortable rooms
Thanks for sharing your review for The Lyra! The studios really are spacious! The Lyra is located within a 1 minute walk to the tube station and all the shops, restaurants and take aways on your doorstep makes it a really convenient place to live whilst studying!
Good for how cheap it is compared to other accommodations. George at reception always helps when there’s problems.
We are really pleased to hear that you feel The Lyra offers good value for money and hope you enjoy how spacious the studios are!
The price is very affordable compared to other apartments. Sometimes some infrastructure problems occur, but in most cases they are resolved quickly. I'm quite satisfied with my stay here.
Thanks for sharing your review for The Lyra!
The best part about staying at the Lyra is the great reception team. Location is great, being less than a 2 minute walk to North Acton station. Staying at the Lyra has been a great start to uni life.

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.
My room is spacious,has a great view. The staffs are very kind and helpful. I have no issue with maintenance as they resolve my issues the next day. The environment is clean Great terrace with amazing view. The hall is calm: you can sleep peacefully at night or take a nap. Everything is in proximity: The tube is 2min walk: great when you are running late for classes. We have shops or even superstores few stops away! environment is amazing HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HALL!! Especially those who never travelled before, there will be no worries ,as you’ll be safe in this hapl
Lovely place, just way too expensive for a student. Poor internet connection on smart TVs
