You can book common spaces for get together and parties - please speak to our reception team and they will be happy to help.

This accommodation is conveniently located, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. There’s only three washers and three dryers, so planning out laundry in advance is generally a good idea, although it was rare for the room to be utterly packed. The staff are all wonderful and helpful.
We're grateful for your feedback. Our staff is delighted to have been of help, best of luck!

Alliance House is located in one of the areas of London, and staying there to meet new people from different backgrounds and cultures. The property itself is worth the rent that I paid. The location of Alliance is close to several bus stops and an overground station that made the commute to every part of the city easy and approachable.

Amazing and satisfactory experience till now, Love the location as it is very near to parks, restaurants and grocery stores. Just a 20 min Bus ride to the university made the travel easier and cheaper. Cooperative and friendly staff with laundry room near reception makes it a better choice.

Alliance House is centrally located and close to several supermarkets,restaurants and shops as well as excellent access to buses to both Bayes Business School and the main City University campus.

The place is very nice, clean, secured and well connected to various places. Buses are just at the door, 10min walk to overground station and 20min to City, University with just one bus. Staff are very friendly and helpful when in needy. There are few issues like heating and warm water which need to be improved. A big shout out to Manager Andrew, who is very cooperative and always ready to assist. Another shout out to Kim who is also very charming with good customer care. In fact, the entire Alliance team is very nice.
Thank you for the review, we are happy to hear you have had a positive experience with Alliance house. I will pass on the feedback to the rest of the team who im sure will be happy with the shout outs! Many thanks
Alliance House is very well connected by TFL buses as there is a bus stop just outside the gate, also, it is very economical as buses are cheaper than tube rides. All the shops are walking distance and variety of food to select from. The support staff are very helpful. The rooms are of average size, just enough for one person. The appliances are modern and maintained regularly.
Thank you for the review, great to hear you found the site accessible with the local shops and transport networks, as well as the amenities supplied on site are all maintained and modern. Many thanks
As a place to live, Alliance House is the best option I can think of. The staff is super helpful, the amenities are always up to the mark, the internet never drops below 90 MBPS (which 3 times more than required), the location is walking distance from 5 bus stops, 1 underground, 3 grocery stores, 1 laundry store, 3 major parks, 2 medical stores, and 1 health centre. Lime bikes are also readily available near the premise. The facility itself has washing machines and a pool table. The inside of the premise is filled with trees and specious benches to hang out. The waiting room can house a party of 30+ people. All in all, it's an excellent place for students because it is located at the centre of everything and yet has a very peaceful environment.
Its great to hear you have had a great experience with the team at Alliance House, and with the amenities. Its great to hear you have been able to make use of the facilities available to you. Many thaks
I have had a great experience living at Alliance House. The location is another positive to living here because it is easily accessible to public transport with bus stops only 1-2min walking distance from every side which makes it easier to travel to all areas of London.
Thank you for the review, its pleasing to hear about your positive experience at Alliance House, I will pass this on to the rest of the team. Many thanks
Comfortable and student friendly accommodation. Rooms are cozy and loads of storage space. A bus ride away from City, University of London so great location. Overall an excellent student accommodation.
Thank you for the review. Its pleasing to hear you found the accommodation comfortable and spacious, as well as accessible with the local transport links. Many thanks

Thank you for the review. Great to hear you have had a positive experience during your stay at Alliance House, Many thanks.
Security is lacking for bike rack, but value for money, sanctuary students team and location are very good.
Thank you for your review, we are pleased to hear you found the location, the team and value for money all in a very good experience. we are currently working to relocate the bike sheds closer to the front of the car park in the next couple months, and this should resolve any issues with the racks currently. Many thanks
Up to expectations and standard
We are pleased to have met with your expectations, and hope to continue to provide the suitable service to our residents. Many thanks
Everything else in alliance House at Newington Green, I find good except for properly mgmt as when the heater and washing machine breakdown. However, alliance’s mgmt is not to blame for the slow resolution of issues as it has no control over 3rd party contractors. On the contrary, i see mgmt’s efficiency in terms things it can control, particularly 3rd party supplier coordination, constant communication with residents and providing temporary solutions.
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you have found the facilities sufficient at Alliance house and the team capable of handling any issues you have raised with them in an efficient manner. I will pass the feedback on to the team. Many thanks
A place with very friendly staff.
Thank you for the review, we are pleased to hear you encountering our friendly team around the site. Many thanks
The neighbour is not considerate. The staff is generally nice.
Thank you for the review, and I am glad to hear your experience with the team has been positive. As we are located within a community if you have any issues with a neighbour please inform the front desk and they will be able to provide some assistance or guidance. Many thanks
The customer service was good and the lady helped me resolve my problems and the ladies always greeted me as I walked in and lovely staff
Thank you for the review, Its great to hear you are having a positive experience with the team and they are able to help resolve any issues you may have. Many thanks

We are pleased to hear you have had a great experience with us at Alliance house, thank you for your review. I will pass the feedback on to the team. Many thanks
I am nervous initially having to live in a student accommodation first time far from home. But this experience was great for me. The property and location are both great.
We are happy to hear we have managed to make your living experience comfortable and enjoyable for your first time away from home! We hope you have managed to enjoy your time and make full use of living so close to central London. We will continue to strive for Alliance house to be as accommodating a possible to all of our residents.
I had a great experience at Allaince. The location is very nice, there are 4 bus stops right outside the main gate. Management has been extremely helpful snd supportive.
Thank you for your positive feedback. The site is very well located and serviced by many bus routes heading towards central London. We also have 2 train stations just a short walk away, Canonbury and Dalston. We are happy to hear we have been helpful and supportive of your needs and wish you the best of luck on your endeavours.
genuinely the nicest accommodation I've stayed in throughout my BA and MA study. Everyone is so lovely here and no one makes you feel like just a walking bag of money (I've experience it before and it's horrible). The people here care and it stands out a million miles. Really going to miss everyone's friendliness!
We are glad to hear such positive feedback, and that you have really enjoyed your interactions with the team. I will pass this on to the rest of the staff and hope we continue to make a positive impact on all our residents.
The management team is outstanding,jovial and transparent. The support team too is wonderful. I've really enjoyed Alliance house as a home away from home,and would gladly return when in London. Any issues we had were addressed and we were made to know progress step by step. It is well worth the money :)
Thank you for the positive feedback, we are happy to hear you have enjoyed your time with us. I will pass on your feedback to the rest of the team, and we will continue to provide the same service to all our customers in the hope they will enjoy their time at Alliance House, and experience the great value the team offers to our residents.
I truly appreciate the accomodation and love the super supportive staff. The overall experience was commendable.
Thank you for the review, we are very glad to read you have enjoyed your time at Alliance House and found the team to be supportive and friendly. I will pass your feedback on to the team.
I have really enjoyed staying here. The staff are extremely helpful and make the place a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Special shout out to Toan and Mahmouda who have been a pleasure to interact with and who make staying here that much more enjoyable. :)
Thank you for your review, we are happy to hear you have enjoyed your time at Alliance House and your engagement with the team has been a positive experience, as well as finding the site comfortable during your stay. I will pass your feedback on to the team.
The staff are so friendly. They make Alliance House feel more like a home than student accommodation. The whole property is safe. Not only is there key card, access and locks for the room, there are secure gates that are accessible to students at any time. Newington Green is a safe area. It’s only 20 minutes away from City. And it’s a good base of operation.
Thank you for your review, we are very pleased to hear you feel safe and at home at Alliance House. It is one of our goals to ensure each of our residents feel this way and hearing this feedback means we are on the right track.
Best student housing I've ever lived at. The staff couldn't be lovelier and my room is spacious and feels safe
Thank you for your review. We are very pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. We hope you managed to enjoy the lovely lawn areas as well as the garden/ patio area we have on site, as well as the entertaining common room in the main building. We are also happy to hear you found the site safe, where residents have access to store their bicycles in one of the allocated sheltered areas and that your room was spacious enough for the duration of your time with us. We hope to see you in the future.
Management (higher up) does not care about mental health - didn't allow guests despite government restrictions lifting, even in situations of severe ill health in need of companionship. Security at times crossed professional boundaries, and residents have felt unsafe from their harassment. Complaints are dealt with very poorly - no fines for people violating government Covid-19 restrictions time and time again. Not really a social environment, and flat pairings are very hit and miss. Transport-wise, very far from the tube and quite far from the overground, most accessible by bus which isn't discounted with Oyster. Overall, quite overpriced as is London in general, the redeeming quality is cleaners who are very nice and patient despite how messy it can get.
Good afternoon Thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed to hear that your stay with us was not as expected. You have raised a few issues that we were unaware of and we would really like to investigate them. Could you please email us directly at Alliance.House@sanctuary-students.com so that we can deal with all the issues you have raised. Thank you. Alliance House Management Team.
