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.

Lovely staff. Professional Security
A perfect student accommodation ever !! Glad to be a resident. Would love to recommend it.
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.
I have a great experience with many great staff
Internet could be faster but ,understandable speed All in all no complaints
Great accommodation with great staff
- 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
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.
I’ve had a great experience staying in Mercia lodge. Would definitely recommend to my friends. Thank you.
The location is awesome! The staffs are friendly and nice! Been staying here for 2 years and I love it. Quiet and peaceful. No unnecessary noises!
The location of Mercia Lodge is great. It is just 5-10 min walk away from Coventry University. And there is supermarket nearby. The management team are very nice and helpful. It is good very for money and highly recommended.
The location is the main feature, the price is reasonable
It's a good value for money and the location is so convenient. The staff here are also amazing!
It is a really good accommodation overall, very reasonable price compared to other accommodations. Excellent location and the staff are so helpful and friendly!
It is a really friendly accomodation and the staff are amazing and down to earth! The location is perfect probably accomodation to the university! They have also started doing social events too which is great! You will socialise with many different individuals
Great location. Great staff. Great place to live as a student!!
It has a nice location with a reasonable price. The room is big. Living here is very convenient and comfortable.
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!
Decent value for money. Great as it’s in the city centre so everything is nearby. Accommodation is regularly cleaned. Wifi cuts out/is slow sometimes but only occasionally.
We thank you for taking the time to reveiw us. All feedback is of great value to us.
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reveiw us and your lovely comments of the site team. Our site does overlook the shops and local amenties being based in the heart of the city centre to enhance community engagement.
Very reasonable price compared to other accommodations
Thank you for your review. We do pride ourselves on being value for money along with being situated in the heart of the city with all amenties on your door step and only a few minutes walk to Coventry University. Kind Regards Accommodation Team Mercia Lodge
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.
Thank you for reviewing us, we do appreciate you taking the time to do so. We are glad that overall our facilities, location and accommodation is to your satisfaction. We have done a fair few freebie food and drink mornings and afternoons to encourage engagement with all residents and for them to make new friends. Our bingo, play your card rights with free drinks was a great success. All events information can be found on our What's On Board in reception by the lifts and emails are also sent out to inform our residents of what going on. Do check you junk inbox incase they are being filtered into there. Kind Regards Accommodation Team Mercia Lodge

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
Thank you for your review. We are glad to read overall, everything is to your satisfaction from our location and facilities. You can always request a room preference to be away from the central square (subject to availability) and we would do our upmost to accommodate. Kind Regards Accommodation Team Mercia Lodge
I am enjoying my time at Mercia lodge. I love how convenient it is to university and the town. I love how I can leave the building and have all the shops I need on my doorstep
Thank you for your review. Our central location with everything on your doorstep and minutes from Coventry University appeals to all students. It allows our students not to have to worry about missing their bus to get to Coventry University. Kind Regards Accommodation Team Mercia Lodge
very convenient for amenities, and very close walk to uni is useful
Thank you for sparing your time to review your accommodation here at Mercia Lodge. Coventry University being only 5 minutes walk away is ideal to for all students plus the added bonus of the city centre shops on your door stepl Kind Regards Accommodation Team Mercia Lodge
amazing experience, kept clean and very safe. Good social life and great location
Hi there, Thanks so much for taking the time out to review us. Kind regards Emma Harris Accommodation Manager
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!
Thanks for a lovely review!! Its great to get some feedback on our events. It has been hard this year due to social distancing etc and cant wait to put slightly bigger and more interactive events on moving forward but its because of you and other residents taking part, it ,makes it all the more worthwhile. We also cant wait to reopen the common room and Cinema room so that you can continue to enjoy these facilities. I will pass on your comments regarding our staff here at Mercia including Kaddi our cleaner. Thanks again for your review and thanks for choosing Mercia Lodge as your accommodation this year. Wishing you all the best Kind regards Emma Harris Accommodation Manager
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.
Hey there thank you for taking the time out to review us. Were sorry about the Table Tennis and Pool Table. We wasnt aware there was an issue but we will certainly take a look at this when the common room is back up and running from Monday. With regards to maintenance, Mick our maintenance officer always trys to complete maintenance on the same day of reporting however if reported after 1pm or on a weekend, unfortunately this wont be completed until the next working day (unless and emergency). This is regularly communicated to all residents. Furthermore if we are awaiting parts or appliances, residents are always provided with an alternative. The lifts can be an issue we admit that, but they are regularly serviced and for their age are still live and kicking! In the meantime thank you for taking the time out to leave us your feedback and will endevour to improve some of the points you have highlighted. We wish you all the best Kind Regards Emma Harris Accommodation Manager
Location is excellent loads of essential stores nearby, room is very spacious so is the gym and worth the price. Staff is very friendly and welcoming.
Thank you for your review its really appreciated. As a small team we want to ensure everyone enjoys their stay here with us and try and make it as best an experience as possible. I will forward your comments to all the staff also. Thanks again and all the best. Regards Emma Harris Accommodation Manager
Mercia Lodge located in a very good place. The surrounding public security is good, shopping is convenient. The staff group is friendly and efficient. The room configuration is also good, cost-effective
Thank you for taking the time out to leave us a review we really appreciate your comments. Again as has been mentioned before, the location is fantastic for anyone wanting to commute in and out of the city. There are restaurants, bars, clothes shops and supermarkets all on your doorstep so yepp we certainly have a great location. Thanks again for your review and wish you all the best. Regards Emma Harris Accommodation Manager
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.
Thank you so much for your review. Its true we really are in the centre of Coventry and you literally have everything on your doorstep which is why we love that we have the best location in Coventry for Coventry City University. Its also real convenient for University of Warwickshire students due to bus links being just around the corner so its win win!! Thank you also for the kind words about our staff. We are a small team and try our best to ensure everyone enjoys their stay whilst theyre here. All the best with your studies and thanks again for choosing Mercia Lodge as your choice of Accommodation. Emma Harris - Accommodation Manager
