The staff in the accommodation are lovely and regularly engage with students and arrange events for the students to take part in. The accommodation is in a very good location with only a ten minute walk to Coventry University and a 15 minute bus to Warwick University and very easy access to lots of shops, restaurants, bars, and social activities.

Mercia lodge has the ideal location as it only a 5 minute walk to university and is located in city centre. I have been here for my first and second year of university and have rebooked for next year. Management are very friendly and are quite good at completing any queries you may have such as maintenance. There are just a few things in the building that need fixing such as the back door and one of the front doors too but other than that everything else has been very good.

- overall good experience - reasonable price for living in the main city area - some things were broken in the room upon arrival, but it was never really a big issue for me - laundry machines kinda broke every other month, but it always got fixed - social space is pretty nice and has study areas

Rooms are worth the money. Excellent location, right at the heart of City Centre. Literally everything you need is easily accessible. Property is a bit old but interiors could be improved. Lightings in the rooms are fair but there can be improvements. Social space is fairly good. Social activities or events could be more exciting and be organised more often. Number of working staff should be a point to look at. Window for parcel collections for students should be kept open throughout the day, as not everybody can make it on time with the limited time slot available, which is quite disappointing. Property usability is really good with lots of facilities. I am glad the management has changed now! New staffs are delivering very good customer service, whereas the previous one was rude. Overall, one of the best choices to live in Coventry at a cheap price!

5min from the university and very close to food stores, shops etc. Located next to a square that often organizes events (Christmas walk, attractions) and attracts singers. Be careful to ask for a quiet room if you don't want to be disturbed by these events. Mercia’s team is attentive to your needs and will do everything possible to satisfy your requests.

The location is great. Staff are very much helpful and co-operative. Playing area and theatre is very good. Just there is no social events, I don’t know how is living next to me. Whenever there is fire alarm at that time I got to know the people living. Please do some social events, if you need any help from me, just let me know.

You pay what you get It’s great that it is designated right in the centre of coventry however, it can be very very loud outside as there are street performers, events, and construction going on outside, it’s never peaceful or quiet It’s still a great location as you are close by to everything and university is only a 2-5 minute walk

Mercia Lodge is a really good place to stay at while doing your degree. The accommodation held a lot of social events which allows you to meet new people. The people living in this building are also very friendly if you try to get to know them. The location is perfect, as it is located in the city centre. The facilities are also great. You can gather with your friends and watch in the cinema room or socialise in the social place. The staff of Mercia is also friendly and very helpful, and the building is always clean. Everytime it gets a bit dirty, the staff will clean it right away. The price is also very reasonable and worth it. Definitely recommended for people to stay at!

Staying in Mercia Lodge was an overall enjoyable experience for me, but it has its issues. It's in a great location only a few minutes to get to the shops or uni and its right across the street from Wetherspoons. Its got a free on site gym and cinema room which always appeared to be well kept, as well as a table tennis and pool table (which isn't level) in the social areas. There is also an on site laundry room, but it will cost about a 5er to do a load of washing and drying which you have to pay for using an app. The rooms do come with a kitchen (small fridge, ceramic hob, small sink, and a small microwave combi oven), but they aren't particularly useable and my sink was in a state of being perpetually clogged. The issues really start to become apparent if or when something brakes or you need something from maintenance, as it takes a while for any action to be taken. Also worth noting that while I was there, one of the lifts occasionally worked, but was temperamental at best.

Mercia lodge is conveniently located at the center with ease of access to all I need as a student: it’s like a 5 - 7 minute walk from Coventry University, 1 - 5 minute walk from shopping malls, fast food joints, restaurants, and more. The management team provide a great customer service, they are nice, easy to talk to and understanding. In short it’s an outstanding and low key place.
