Hox Park Reviews

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

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.

Really lovely place to stay and great extra spaces. Only issue was that it was not very clean when I moved in.

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

The buildings were always very clean and the staff always friendly. They sorted out issues quickly and effectively providing the best possible outcome.

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.

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.

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!

(Social experience= N/A due to COVID-19 restrictions but an amazing accommodation with lovely staff on site. Beautiful location and awesome set up!

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

Lovely staff and a very safe space - I will be rebooking and looking forward to spending another year at Hox :)

Beautiful Place to live in, good facilities and friendly staff. Only wish it had a lift

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

Great environment and facilities.

We are so proud of our community here, even with events being restricted this year, but keep an eye out on our socials for our upcoming events now that restrictions are starting to lift!

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.

We are very proud of our social calendar and are looking forward to doing even more now restrictions are starting to lift!Unfortunately, we do not currently offer complimentary kitchen cleans, however reidents are more than welcome to book with an external service if they wish to do so. We will take your comments into consideration for future years :)

Thanks,Team Hox

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.

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

Thanks for taking the time to leave us such a detailed review! All feedback is welcomed as we are always looking for ways we can improve our service. Since January we have taken on similar feedback and improved our communications when a new check in is arriving into a cluster flat :)

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.

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!
