The location is great, security and reception staff are really nice. Noz and Shaun do a good job with security. However, maintenance is very poor. Issues are not sorted quickly or effectively at all. I have had to ask many times over several months for the same basic appliances for my flat, or for things to be fixed.
Noz and Sean do a good job with security And great facilities

Compared to other cities around the world it can be a little expensive. However in Birmingham it was the cheapest accommodation I could find.

management are awful. i’ve had one reception lady let herself into my room whilst i was in there with no prior warning. the general manger has forced herself into my room, pushing me out of the way to get in after i told her i’d rather speak to her in the kitchen. the general manager has also refused to leave my kitchen before after whilst i had police over for another residents mental health. apparently you are not allowed visitors to stay over for more than 2 nights so when i’ve had my friends come up from my home town to stay for a week they’ve been told by reception they need to go back home. reception get annoyed at you when you lock urself out of ur room and need letting back in. some receptionists don’t even ask for ur name or id when making you a new key card, i’ve had someone else request a new key card for my bedroom and they just handed it over no questions asked. they street is not safe there’s always weird boys parked outside in there cars trying to talk to every girl
Good Afternoon,After receiving your review we are quite alarmed by some of the things which have been mentioned within your complaint,would you be able to disclose your details so we could look into this further as we would like to resolve your complaint .
Location of accommodation is very beneficial but the management are terrible, no consistent staff and one will tell you one thing while one tells you another. Had no help with my struggles of being a girl in a filthy all boys flat either. Would like to highlight K.C though, the only member of staff who has ever been of any help and is very nice and actually knows what he is talking about.
One of the best accommodations, with top quality receptionist and security

Great location, sound environment and I love common room😍. I’d recommend this accommodation. Being living away from home, most important thing is your safety and security which is at best here. You would hear bad comments about management and security but you know thieves would never like police. It’s all about the nature of their job. I’m really enjoying living here…

The reception team i.e. Orlando and Hind are great, and very helpful and friendly. On the other hand I have often found the security team to be very arrogant and lazy, it seems that they often cannot be bothered to do anything about the issue you have and will passive aggressively tell you to leave and come back the next day. There have been occasions for example where my friends and I will ask a question and the security team will look at each-other and laugh. This has left my peers and I feeling ignored and insecure in the trust of the security team to do the job they are meant to do, and this is not great considering the events that have gone on in and around the accommodation since September. However on a whole the accommodations itself is great and the maintenance is amazing, the reception staff are always helpful when present!

The reception workers are lovely and very helpful, especially Orlando and Hind! However I find the security to be unfriendly and rude. Management can be difficult. I also sometimes feel unsafe in the area.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really do value your feedback.

The receptionists are my favourite people ever
Thank you so much for the feedback on the team
I'm an international student. It helped me a lot when I first arrived in this strange environment.
Thank you, we are always here to help and guide you in Birmingham
The most nightmare experience ever. Staff/cleaners steal your stuff and have access to your rooms which makes it even easier for them to get hold of your belongings. Accommodation managers are s***, unhelpful and self centred. Very traumatising experience ever. I will not advise living here.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Please note that the property teams do not have access or take hold of people's belongings. All of our bedrooms are accessed by secure key, where we are able to read the access history. If belongings are still in a room at the end of the tenancy, then attempts to communicate with our students is made to retrieve their belongings. Communiction is always issued prior to check out which highlights the importance of taking all of your belongings with you. It would be helpful if we could discuss the other elements of your complaint in full and would encourage you to get in touch with us at Staniforth House so we can help you further. Best wishes, Staniforth House Team
