Scape Shoreditch Reviews

Super helpful and nice staff,the rooms look like new,social life is amazing

In my 4 years of staying in different accommodation around London, Scape Shoreditch is the best accommodation I've ever stayed in. The staff is very friendly as are the students staying in this accommodation.

Love living here! I have lived here for 2 years.

It makes my blood boil that establishments like this exist claiming to put the well-being of students first. I live with a trauma of being in a student accommodation with intense depression. I was suicidal and isolated in this student accommodation, and ended up having to leave and go home. Scape reminded me of this, and resuscitated those thoughts. Management was completely unsympathetic to this. The policies of this student accommodation are completely backwards, the manager refused to acknowledge mental health and suicidal thoughts as sufficient grounds for a full refund, saying things like that isn't 'his responsibility' and that 'this was a business'. In short, if you think you may want to get out, don't go. If you want a student accommodation that values wellbeing above all else, don't go. Thankfully I lived only an hour away, so could escape easily. I dread to think how awful such a situation would have been for a foreign student who had flown in from abroad.

Scape Shoreditch is very modern and centrally located. The facilities are great and there are a lot of social events being held here so it’s lovely to meet new faces. However, the staff can come off as snobbish and rude. Not friendly at all. What a disappointment as they praise themselves to offer great customer service.

I really like to stay in Scape , it’s quite a cool place and the staff are very kind

All female selfish and mostly incompetent and disruptive management. No assistance from staff and beware if you complain about noise from the 3am outside your window smoking, loud talking, care less security (who always have a sign up at reception "back in five minutes".). This sign is up in the day as well!! Unauthorised access to my room. No room power for hours, security staff could not find the fuse though have to know this. Made complaint about security loud chat at 3am and was told to f off. Clueless residential manageress thinks managing is having no discipline over her do anything staff. Site door entry opens for a good 14 seconds, no security often, so anyone can walk in behind you. Unsafe in a dodgy area. Be wary of staying at female run accommodation, 8/10 times their idea of managing is do nothing, monitor nothing, with cleaners and maintenance reporting to themselves. Madness. Standards are predictably low. Avoid.

They’re holding student financially hostage by making us pay for rent during this pandemic when some international students HAD to go back home. Universities and even the government urged internationals to return home before the closure of boarders so we left with no choice. Scape still wants us to pay while other private halls are waiving the third instalment. Don’t recommend at all!

Very cool location. Super furnished rooms! great lounges and super friendly people!

Great location, staff friendly.

The best halls were St Mary’s but they’ve been sold.
