Summit House is a premium, recently re-designed accommodation in a prefect location, you also have exclusive access to the on site gym and cinema room which is a few of the perks to living at Summit House. This is reflective on the pricing :)
Summit house is a place where fire alarms go off multiple times a week and isn’t worth the money - it’s a joke I recommend going somewhere else

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.

Good facilities available. Good location in city. I like the gym that’s included. Good sitting spaces but sometimes not kept the tidiest.
Hey! Thanks for your review, so glad you are happy here :)
If you don’t fire alarms going off multiple times a week stay well away. Constant false alarms with seemingly no attempt to address or fix the problem - very annoying
Hey, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We understand fire alarms can be frustrating when you are enjoying your time in our accomodation. Fire alarms going off means the sytem works the way it has been intended so and is for the safety of our students. Please email us over at book@hellostudent.co.uk for any further conversations.

Thank you for taking the time to review our Summit House building, happy to see that you are enjoying your home away from home!
All ways problem with maintenance, people walk into your room unannounced and without notice. One of the night shift employees is always aggressive and gets very disrespectful when you lose or lock yourself out of the room. Overall, i had a terrible experience.

Thank you for leaving your review for our Summit house building! - The building truly has a lot of character and is indeed a perfect location :)
I loved my room and it’s huge amount of natural light, particularly now in the summer. With bills included and the central location, I feel like this is value for money. Room and apartment could have been cleaner when I moved in. Internet, however is very good too.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review our Summit House building! Happy to hear it!
enjoyed my time in this property, amazing social spaces + gym!!!!
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review our Summit House building, we are happy to hear your positive feedback regarding our facilities!
AWFUL - dirty and unsafe, more than once a stranger has been able to gain access to the building, I understand it is in the town centre but this should mean extra care and security is taken. The room hadn't been cleaned before moving in, the cleaner came twice and still had to clean the room myself. Worn down and uncared for, moved here to save some money, can see why it's cheaper now. Raised these issues directly to them and they still haven't improved anything. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for your feedback! We are so sorry to hear things haven’t quite been to the level we strive to achieve. For the cleanliness of corridors / communal space, we are pleased to be recruiting another housekeeper and caretaker to maintain the cleanliness levels to a higher standard. Also, it is pleased to announce that Summit house will be undergoing a full site refurb starting in June where the building and studios will be upgraded to a high premium spec. Security is our highest priority, our buildings are manned 24/7, patrolled throughout the day and night. If there are any concerns please speak to reception or call us for any help / concerns.
