Staying at Waterways has been an incredible experience! The accommodation offers not only comfort but also a vibrant community atmosphere, thanks to the free events that are regularly organized. These events have provided great opportunities to socialize and make the most out of my stay. The service has been top-notch, with a special mention to Sinead, Stef, Ellie, Priya, and Shain. Their dedication and friendliness have truly made a difference, ensuring that every need is met with a smile. Their efforts have made Waterways feel like a home away from home. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my time here. The combination of excellent facilities, engaging activities, and exceptional staff has made my stay at Waterways unforgettable. Highly recommend!

I think it would be better if the management team could spend more money on regular cleaning in kitchen rather than social activities as activities only fit a small portion of students and kitchen is for everyone.

Priya was very nice and chatty. The staff were helpful and there were lots of social events. The buildings especially block 23 need a bit of TLC but overall not a bad place to live

I’ve really enjoyed it here at Unite students! The staff as lovely and incredibly helpful. Priya made sure that I was able to extend my stay here and Grace was able to sort out an issue I had very quickly. Overall I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone.

I didn’t know what to expect when living in serviced accommodation but it is so much easier than living in a house like I did in second year. Location is brilliant too, so close to Loughborough town centre.

Extremely nice accomodation, in a great location, with a great value for money and lots of facilities. I've been living here for the last 3 years (almost) and I would definitely choose to do it again. Amazing staff, all of them very friendly and helpful, but I would especially like to thank and recommend Surprise. I think she should be viewed as an example and a model in what she is doing.
