This is my 2nd year in UK but I move in to this accommodation this year which was really fabulous unlike my past accommodation which was the money cause I have paid the same rent to a old building that too which was ensuite where as here I got a studio for the same price that too with a dishwasher and coming into social life here it was really awesome meeting new people and activities to engage everyone. Finally the staff here are soo kind and helpful definitely you should give it a try

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.

I stayed in The Neighborhood while studying in my last year for my Masters Degree. The location was perfect, very central, especially for myself as it was only 2mins walk from the Engineering block. I enjoyed the hot coffee and pastries each morning and the pizza on a Friday night. This was a good focal point to get talking to over students. My room was small, but the storage space made up for this as there was plenty of places to store everything tidally away. The reception staff were always friendly and welcoming. I took full use of the gym and cinema room in my down time. Overall I really enjoyed my time there and actually miss not being there anymore. A big shout out to the manager Natalie who was always there to help if anything did happen. Highly recommend Ben

The Neighbourhood Cardiff has been a warm and home like experience for me. The staff are all friendly and welcoming, they get to know you well and every time I would come back from uni, there is a feeling of calm and relaxation. The social spaces are well organised in manner that you tend to greet new people and make friends with everyone around. Management is always responsive and security is provided 24/7. The Neighbourhood Cardiff has been a significant and crucial part of my experience here and I am satisfied with my choice of living here.

Great location on the city road with accessibility to City Centre and nearby parks. Amazing rooms with TV and sociable common areas. Regular events, competitions, and Friday online movie nights keep the accommodation cheerful. Staff and concierge are very helpful and available 24/7. Overall, this accommodation is worth considering.

Really nice rooms, everything you could need in them and lots of storage. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Social spaces are good, I haven’t had a lot of chances to use them however due to covid. Wifi is quite slow sometimes. Location is perfect only a 10 minute walk from queen street so it’s ideal!

The Neighbourhood Cardiff. I would highly recommend the Neighbourhood because of the location and the value for money and the front desk are always welcoming and willing to have a chat or recommend something to do on your day of not doing lectures online. Friday movie night is a great way to unwind from the day of coursework or exam prep and free pizza and beer who could complain? Overall this student accommodation is perfect for the price and is central between all the uni campuses.

The social spaces are great and I have met many new people here. The internet is fast but does stop working from time to time.

The neighbourhood is a very welcoming student accommodation with very lovely staff. I would recommend staying here while in school due to the community areas that are available, the morning grab and go breakfast and pizza and beer on Fridays. The rooms available are very nice and the building is always maintained and tidy.

I'm always quite skeptical when reading these sorts of reviews, so I would understand if you are too. But I've lived in The Neighbourhood for almost a year now and can honestly say that it's been a really great experience. The staff here are super friendly and the social spaces are great, which has meant that I've made lots of close friends since living here. And the overall quality of the building is very high. Shout-out to Nat, Abi, Sez, Andy Maintenance Man, and all the conceirge staff - you've made it a fun place to live. I would thoroughly recommend living in The Neighbourhood. GA

I had issues with the building as the lift was not working and I stayed on the 6th floor. That was not great but the people (huge shoutout to Abi and Nat) are lovely. Talking to them always cheers me up and they are absolute stars. They really need a raise Tldr: issues with building w/ no lift. Abi and Nat are amazing and need a raise
