Most helpful review

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.

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.

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.
