This place is without a doubt the worst accommodation that I have ever lived in. It has little to no reviews on the internet about it possibly because of how obscure it is and that less people opt to live here. As someone who has had experience living in this place, I don’t mind taking it upon myself to give a review of Vernon Place to other students. First of all, the walls are extremely thin in this house to the point where you can hear all sorts of things going on in and around the building i.e. people having conversations, people having intimate times with their partner, doors being slammed, taps being run, loud footsteps, television being watched etc. The mattresses are also very cheap and you could hear every creak around the house as either you or other students are trying to sleep. If you are living on the ground floor, the constant slamming of the main door and people’s footsteps going up and down the stairs will end up driving you crazy.

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.
Read Vernon Place Reviews
My time at Vernon Place is not one I can say I will look back on fondly. It can be an isolating place to live due to a lack of social spaces, only a small living area to socialise in. Problems arise in the building on a regular basis. For example, door and window handles falling off or breaking, leaks, mold festering on the walls and radiators breaking. The walls are very thin. Every creak and footstep can be heard as well as conversations word for word. Sleep is not something that will come easy here, particularly if you are on a lower floor. The location is the one good thing about this accommodation. The wifi serves its purpose. Overall, I'm not sure the pros outweigh the cons.
