Most helpful review

I have been living year for a now. It’s been great, both people and environment wise. I am really thankful to the staff for always assisting and helping me when faced with issues. I am also grateful to the security team for helping me through my accident and seeing that I got the hospital safely. Everyone here is really friendly and kind, they make me feel safe and at home away from home. Will definitely be living here again next year.❤️

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Student Review: 3.7 /5
By member8122866 On 31st October 24 verified Verified student

Canterbury Student Manor was a great place to live in my first year. The studios were spacious, modern, and well-equipped, making it easy to settle in and focus on studies. The amenities, like the gym and study lounges, were very useful, and having an Asda nearby was convenient for groceries. Plus, there was beautiful nature nearby, perfect for walks and unwinding. The staff were always helpful and responsive, which made settling in so much easier. The cleaning staff were especially lovely and friendly, and they kept everything spotless. The only drawback was the commute—it could be a bit long to campus. Overall, though, it was a comfortable and well-rounded option for student living.

Amazing place, hidden from the main road and its quiet. Love the social events like summer bbq, breakfast, games night. Any problem with anything is quickly resolved by the management. Security guys are very friendly and helpful. 2 years here and definitely 2 more.

I have lived here for 3 years and am going to live here for my final year! It’s a very chilled out place to live and definitely feels like home! All the staff are lovely and have always resolved any issues I may have had (although hardly any but say I had a maintenance issue, for example, Darius would be right there). The court yard is really nice to hang out in whilst also having a great cinema room!

Been at Canterbury Student Manor for over a year, and it's hands down the best Student Accomadation for students in Canterbury! From stellar management to top-notch facilities, it's all A+. The staff are amazing—they go above and beyond to keep everything safe, clean, and awesome. Here's what I have noticed: - Staff are super friendly and detail-oriented. - Place is always spotless, with end-of-tenancy cleaning too. - Facilities rock—a cinema, gym, games room, study area, common room, and pantry/dining room. - It's safe, with noise kept in check. Shoutout to Jamie, Darius, and Holly—they're the real lifeline of this place. Without them, Canterbury Student Manor wouldn't be half as awesome. CRM have clearly got something right here.

Firstly, the staff at Canterbury Student Manor are all lovely people and are willing to go above and beyond to support students at the accommodation. The buildings are modern and well looked after with good appliances and easy to clean surfaces. The onsite amenities are all very good bar the washing machines which are circuit. I have had a couple of issues with circuit as a company but that does not reflect on the student manor as they are separate. The common rooms (gym, cinema room, kitchen and others) are all incredibly clean and kept very well. The internet is very good and you can add 6 devices for free or up to 1000 for just £15 a year. I will be staying here next year too as it is nearby to my university and very near to the supermarket (less than 10 min walk).

Have had a great experience with Student Manor, the management team have been really helpful whenever I've had an issue. The accommodation is always clean (before students come outside) and maintained well. The cinema room offers a great place to hangout with friends. The switch remotes work sometimes. Additionally, the internet speed is great but does have connection problems at times.

The staff are absolutely terrible. They offer no help when it comes to complaints and only care if money is mentioned. Will ignore emails for weeks and be rude to you if you try and follow up on emails. Maintenance is terrible and can take months to fix simple issues, they tend to do cheap fixes which barely last a few weeks then you are back to waiting for months to get a repair or a replacement. All these staff care about is money and are unwilling to help any student and have often heard them talking negatively about students. Now staff are charging you £5 just for them to actually get up and help. Office staff were never this bad and I wouldn’t recommend this place based on the price and what you get for it.

This place is not worth it, receptionists and staff are unfriendly and incredibly rude, treat you as if you are incompetent; they find any way to extort money from students, charging to be let into your own room, finding temporary repairs than fixing the issue, making you wait month for a repair with no time frame but still charge you for the services you never experienced. The halls do not get cleaned properly, I’ve seen the same wrappers and trash in the hall way for days? The doors do not get fixed, the maintenance guy doesn’t fix anything properly in-fact makes things worse. Everyone I’ve ever spoken to hates this place.

Would not recommend to anyone, communication is severely lacking. Takes ages for issues to get resolved and residents are not kept informed. Have to go out of your way to ask if you want answers. Been spoken to sarcastically multiple times by staff. Think it could benefit from a monthly email maybe, as is a very impersonal accommodation.

Don’t stay here you have warned!! All the 5 star reviews they give out money and vouchers to get them! I thought living in a student accommodation will be safer than living outside No, This place has proved me wrong! Although it can be access the building and my studio room “only by the keycard” Some staffs used master keycard opened my room and took my Hermes First, the manager said the plan of maintenance my room is cancelled bc engineer is sick but I saw the door was fixed by some glue so she admitted later they actually entered my room! Besides, the cleaner also accessed my room and said I thought this room already checked out! I’ve reported crime however, The police emailed me said student manor Canterbury staffs did not provide him any cooperation nor time to check cctv and once he checked, cctv is no longer available nor functioning! Staff even said back to me “we don’t know your hermes was really there! in your room didn’t have cctv”

Canterbury student manor Is easily one of the best student accommodations in Canterbury you can find Loads of great facilities and the staff are second to none they will help with whatever they can. Any issues get resolved fairly quickly and I personally have not had any maintenance issues. The site is well located close to a retail park and not too far from all universities. The city is a short 15/20 minute walk, for the price I think you will struggle to find anything better suited to stay during your studies

The accommodation is in an area rampant with drug activity, robbery, and attack of students. The site has a facade of security; however, the layout of the entry gates (when working) does not prevent tailgating or access of non-residents to the site. There have been several incidents where non-residents have gained entry to the site, selling drugs to residents, attacking, and robbing residents. The accommodation staff are also inconsistent in their courtesy and support of residents, and can sometimes be quite rude and abrasive.

We stayed in a studio flat, and it was a nice stay. There were a few problems concerning things like, the oven, the toilet leaking, and the shower door not sealing. Other than that, there was not much that the management could do regarding social spaces and the social experience because they were unavailable for the majority of our stay due to the pandemic, which is no fault of the management obviously.

Been here for three years and best choice I ever made to be honest. The staff are super lovely and make you feel welcome - the accommodation really feels like a home. The staff host events such as barbecues and fun parties around Halloween and Christmas and also Easter egg hunts at Easter, these are little extras but they make all the difference. They have a cinema room, games room and a gym which are super fun and convenient extras, I couldn’t have asked for more in a university accommodation :) Thank you so much, really going to miss this place! ❤️

Horrible experience. Staff are rude. So many problems with the property.Told us that we still had to pay last terms rent even though we wasn’t staying there because “they haven’t finished paying for the building” emails to prove.Not understanding whatsoever. The two girls that work there are disgustingly rude. I had people, and work men walk into my room unannounced (didn’t knock or give any warning) because they thought it was a door to a cluster Room. Why are strangers who don’t know the building allowed to walk around the premises unaccompanied? Only good thing is that it was a good location. The studio, for the money you pay for it, is disgusting. I had multiple of bugs come from the vent which I complained MANY times. It’s a tiny room, I suggest if you do stay with them there’s no point getting a studio.Was building work going on for 3 months outside mydoor,considerably loud. Workmen arguing outside my room, swearing shouting Icomplained nothing happeNed. Horrible place To stay!

This accommodation is a literal scam; they charge you exhortation rate prices, but the place is literally falling apart, with construction taking place my whole stay there, it was living in a construction site with the walls peeling off and cracks everywhere. The staff, apart from Darius, was literally unhelpful and did not care about the wellbeing of any of the students. The WiFi was disastrous at best, with having too switch too hotspot all my devices at best. The worst accommodation ever!

Student Review: 4.7 /5
By Courtney On 17th June 19 verified Verified student

Value for money is excellent, not only is the room worth it but you also have facilities within the accommodation; washing machines, cinema room, games room, gym and common rooms. Location is really good as you have lots of shops nearby, walking distance to town and bus stops very close - however would be convenient if there was a bus that catered for our accommodation as we have to get two buses to university which can be a hassle, but exchange of buses are still relatively quick. Hall management really good, cleaners always keep it clean, and there’s always security 24/7 so there is a high level of safety within the accommodation. Social spaces also really good as there are tv’s and sofas and vending machines, and also a study room but I think this could be bigger due to the amount of people living in this accommodation. Social experience is amazing as our accommodation makes events for us to socialise with other people within the accommodation. WiFi is amazing, never had issues.
