I thoroughly enjoy staying here, I was greeted really warmly and since then all the staff have been so willing to help and give support. I will be staying here next year again. Everything here is maintained well, and living here is very comfortable, worth the money and much better than where I stayed in my first year. I especially want to say Billy has been the most supportive staff and he’s always helped me regardless of when he’s busy or if it’s convenient to him or not, and this has contributed greatly to my experience here.

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.

Really enjoyed staying at Severn Point so far! I have stayed here for 3 years so far. The staff is really friendly and the accommodation isn't far from the conservatoire.
Nick and Ryan have been especially great and the staff changearound seems like it went very well. Great atmosphere around, supportive and any issues have been dealt really quickly.
I have been so happy with my stay here so far. I got a lot of support from Nick. He has been so helpful. He helped me so much with my parcels, laundry and maintainance.
The staff are very friendly and the room are nice.
Great stay at Severn Point, one thing I’d love to mention is the great customer service skills by Nick. However! I’d also like to mention that the hoovers and mops are not the best, and i’d love if those were fixed or changed! Thank you
Everyones been super friendly and helpful, especially Billy!

Accom is great and so are all amenities, but I want to give a big shout out to the staff working at reception, especially Billy who’s always a friendly face and is always more than happy to help :)
Great staff. Especially Billy. Recommend for RWCMD students as it's close to the College.
It has been a good experience so far
Really nice place to live. Had a few problems when I first moved in with my shower but Billy really quickly solved it and got the issues dealt with. Highly recommend living here for students moving to Cardiff for university.

Safe place to live, friendly staff. Good location for students.
Good Student accomodation, don't have anything to complain. When I was having trouble with payments or when I needed a landlord reference of the staff Billy in particular was very helpful and informative. Thank you!
The staff here are really lovely and they’re great at answering any questions or issues we have.
Nice and beautiful. Billy in the reception is very patient and supportive.
Place is nice and the receptionist, Jade, is really friendly and accomodating
It’s a great place to live in. Managed by great staff like Billy who are always supportive, good location which is close to the college as well as a great social area and facilities. Would highly recommend to any student looking for a place to stay during their studies.
It is a very good space to have social gatherings and we love the darts!
Billy has been very helpful throughout my stay
Great staff always help when I have any issues or just need something to listen to an issue
Really great experience overall
I really have loved my stay here so far and everything is fine. What I will say is that the rules regarding music playing isn’t clear. I have had to live with a flatmate playing his instrument every day and now I’m moving location next year because I don’t want to live with this again. Noise complains are made all the time by flats around us, and it’s not fair on us falling out with other people when it’s nothing to do with us. Other than this I have liked my stay at Severn point.
Severn point is a great place to live as a student, the staff are friendly and the living spaces are cosy. I really appreciate the effort the staff put into organised breakfasts and movie nights, and Billy in particular has always been a friendly receptionist that is always happy to help. Thank you Severn point for making student life easier :)
All the staff members at Severn Point have been wonderfully welcoming and friendly. Billy especially at reception is always lovely to talk to. The team at Severn Point have created such a nice atmosphere for the students living there.
We have such a lovely team at Severn Point. They have lots of lovely social events that really brought the community together which has been lovely as a 1st year student. I’ve really appreciated the breakfasts they do for us here and the pizza parties they have allowed us to really bond. Rose and Billy have been especially helpful and lovely with any queries.
It has been great so far and Billy has been a great help with me settling in.
Friendly staff, loved my time here.
The accommodation is well rounded and all bills are included! It is a great space to study and relax. The staff are helpful when required and provide a good service.
Ishtiaque very good, responsible
Ishtiaque always working hard, and does it all with a smile
Very enjoyable good pool table and amneties
Staff are super friendly and supportive and manager rose is great
It's in Cardiff. It's really comfortable and value for money. It's close to Cardiff University and Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. There's a bus stop stone throw away. There's a pub, cafe and a couple takeaway places close by. Couple of grocery stores like tesco and lidl are less than a 10 minute walk. It's clean and well maintained. The staff is really friendly and helpful. When it's sunny I go to Bute Park for a walk as it's just across the road. Definitely recommend living here. Booking again for next year.
Fantastic location for a great price, lovely and very helpful staff, quick and efficient maintenance team, comfy beds, great heating, good water pressure in showers, very safe and secure, never had an issue living at Severn Point compared to other experiences across other Unite properties which I’ve been informed about, and great facilities in terms of the common room
I’ve had a really pleasant experience at Severn Point. The staff have been so welcoming and helpful! The accommodation itself is lovely, and includes a study space which has been really useful. It is also in a great location, would definitely recommend.
Being at Severn Point has really been a great experience especially as I’ve made so friends that I would say for life. The staff are really friendly and are willing to help out with question or needs. One member of staff has really stood out for their professionalism and always being a friendly towards people and that is Ishtiaque.
A very good and enjoyable living space with freindly staff and great facilities.
Staff here are lovely ! And it’s location is great
Accommodation is nice and spacious. Staff are friendly and goes above and beyond. Loads of events to socialise and good location would definitely recommend
I’ve had a great time at Severn Point, the staff are always friendly and helpful and the study room and common area are really great to socialise or catch up with work. There is also a local pub nearby which is an added bonus! Would highly recommend.
