Red Queen Biography
Red Queen offers students a home away from home as not only does it boast a modern and cosy design, but it is also ideally situated within a twenty-two-minute walk from the University of Warwick and a fifteen-minute cycle from Coventry University. The surrounding area is filled with plenty of local attractions and social hubs for residents to explore and enjoy.
After a long day of class, residents can attend one of the many social events, or simply hang out with neighbours in the communal lounge, courtyard, or cinema room. If you need to buckle down and focus on classwork, you can make use of the free WiFi and study spaces. You can skip your gym membership as the accommodation has its own on-site gym. For your added benefit there is also a washer/dryer, all-inclusive utility bills, and contents insurance.
Red Queen has a range of en-suite rooms within cluster flats to choose from. These cluster flats share a kitchen and lounge area while providing residents with a private bedroom and bathroom. Inside each bedroom, you have everything you could need, including a bed, study area, and storage space.

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.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review and recomending us! We love to hear that we have made your time with us feel like home, that is what we aim for. We wish you all the best for the future, The Red Queen Team.
Staff are very friendly, helpful and quick on issues. Amenities such as superfast internet, parking and even electric charging are amazing for a student flat, the location is also convenient with plenty of food and shopping near although the universities are a bit of a trek if you are walking. One complaint is that the room layouts are sub par and very cramped despite the cheap prices and warmth during the winter. They also have good storage and plenty of light but the walls aren't well insulated. The kitchen is very spacious and comfortable although in my case, there wasn't enough space for the fridges or the sink. Overall however I did enjoy my time here but I would definitely go for a bigger room. Overall a 4/5 experience.
Thank you so much for taking your time to leave us a lovely review! The team appreciate your kind words and feedback, they strive to make the experience the best for you! Our aim at Red Queen is to create the perfect enviorment for all students and ensure you have everything you need day to day!

My stay at red queen has been great. The staff are genuine and attentive and the facilities and maintenance are exceptional. Would highly rec
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, we aim for execptional and glad we have achieved this for your stay!We wish you success for the future, The Red Queen Team.
Stayed here for the past year and all has been great, the front desk is always helpful and the location is perfect from University.
Thank you for your lovely review! We couldn’t agree more everything you need is on our doorstep, Sainsburys, Costco, Bus stops to the University of Warwick, University of Coventry and the City Centre, Shops, Post office and plenty of fast food options!.We wish you a bright and successful future, The Red Queen Team
Just an all round great accommodation. After 4 years at university, this has certainly been the best place I have stayed. A special thankyou to the staff, who have been excellent all year. Would highly recommend to any student, but particularly to postgrads studying at Warwick!
Thank you for such a heart-warming review, we strive to make all our students experiences as positive as yours.We wish you a bright and successful future, The Red Queen Team
It is my worst decision to choose red queen as the room is quite small and less functional compared to the other similar price accommodation in Coventry and struck with the washing machine frequently because the other flatmates usually leave the personal clothes inside for long period. Furthermore, there are not 24/7 support like other accommodation, just only working hours. To illustrate, the keycard not working at Friday, you have to wait until Monday to get reactivate to access the building. I would not recommend the Red queen. With the same or little additional budget, i will suggest you to live in the city center accommodation instead that you can get room in studio size and not having such issues.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that this has been your experience with us at Red Queen and we hope we can turn this around for you. We can't always ensure that flatmates are going to get along and live harmoniously together, however when made aware we will always step in and help in any difficulties within the flat. Please note that we do offer our students 24/7 support, outside of the office hours you can contact our out of hours helpdesk who can assist with lock outs and will contact the local patrol guard to attend site to let you back in, we will never leave our students locked out. This number can be found on your flats notice board and on all exits around the property. Please can you send any further concerns to Redqueen@universalstudentliving.com as we would like to rectify any negative experience you have had. All the best for the future, The Red Queen Team
Hannah, Jess, and Keir are all so lovely and welcoming, really make the place feel like home.
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review, we really try to make this your home away from home.
The friendly staff here have made my year staying here amazing! The room formatting is odd but it’s manageable, comfortable and didn’t experience many issues especially regarding storage with ample space. The bathroom size is perfect and has enough space to fit all your amenities! Overall the accommodation is great and clean!
During the year I lived in Red Queen, I had a very good living experience. I have also lived in house and the living experience here is definitely better. The service of the staff is very meticulous and patient, they always greet us cordially when they see us, like family. There are always social events here and we always have plenty of free snacks and drinks to enjoy. The public Spaces are spacious, soundproofed and public transport is very convenient. The cost of accommodation here is also very low, very cost-effective!
Great living experience, with excellent service from the reception
I didn't have a great first year at university, I felt very lonely/out of place. But moving out and joining Red Queen was one of my greatest decisions. It's a self-contained community near many different utilities, with a gym and awesome cinema room. I can also honestly say I've made some of the greatest friends here. The staff here as well are also very supportive, friendly, and always happy to help. I'm very grateful for Red Queen.
I had a great experience living here for the past year. The staffs are incredible and really friendly. There are many facilities available from gym, cinema room, study area. I had a great experience living here
The reception staff at red queen were very welcoming and helpful if there was anything they could do to help.
Nothing to complain about. Location is the only thing that‘s not perfect since the bus system is not working well!
The staff is very friendly. Red Queen is close to Warwick University and bus station, it is also only 30 minutes by feet. It's a calm environment and a good place to study. It is close to Sainsbury's and fast-food places so very convenient to eat and have good time with friends. People there are nice and I highly recommend the place!
A really lovely building with great staff and amazing facilities. Lots of space in the kitchen, loads of restaurants and shops within a 5 minute walk and great value overall.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Red Queen: the amenities and location make it an ideal accommodation for students, and most importantly, Jess, Hannah and Keir do a great job of creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. They are the heart and soul of this accom. So, what are you waiting for? Book your room today!🤗
All of the staff are super friendly, and the facilities in the building are brilliant. It’s very close to all you need - bus stops, shops, etc. and the rooms are very cozy.
Not only is the accommodation itself of a really high standard, the staff at RQ go above and beyond for the residents. From booking the accommodation, to dealing with any issues that arise, the staff are kind, considerate and very responsive. I feel very safe and settled here. Staff go to great efforts to make the communal spaces as cosy as possible. The facilities such as the study space, the car park, the gym and the cinema room are fantastic. I would highly recommend this accommodation to any coventry or warwick students! It is the best place I have ever stayed.
I spent my time happily in Red Queen, with excellent services and staff. Cleaning is also relatively good.
Great accomodation. Good decoration. Warm inside. No regret at all!
Red Queen was a genuinely great place to live. The students living there are all very friendly and approachable, and the staff are excellent. Every issue I had was sorted, and they are very flexible and friendly. If you're looking for private student accomodation for Warwick or Coventry Uni, I wouldn't recommend anywhere else!
Very good living experience, staff are lovely especially the receptionist Hannah, she’s always smiling and wishing me have a lovely day every time when I collect my parcels. The only thing that I’d say it can be improved is the cleaning schedule. The kitchen area can be cleaned more often (during the summer, I think/feel like it’s only be cleaned once a month, which isn’t enough as the weather gets hot).
It’s always been really good and stable living conditions, not much problems that come, and even if they do, they get fixed fast. Customer service was the best I’ve seen, friendly reception and managers make my day all the more amazing.
Good experience and enjoyed the WiFi
The room is really nice. Location very convenient
Good experience! I would recommend to all my Chinese friends.
The best accomodation, the warmest student apartment in UK. The infrastructure was nice, and staff there really friendly.
perfect for living, people are kind here
It is a perfect place to live！Very convenient transport！Very nice staff！
good！I chose an en-suite and have 6 roommates. I actually quite enjoy living here
Facilities are pretty good and staff are incredibly friendly/helpful.
I really love it the facilities are great here, I’ve gotten great use from the gym and cinema room. The beanbags are really comfy! and the reception is good for studying. But there is less of a social life here from my experience as I didn’t have anyone I knew too well in my flat.
Good recepition，nice service. It is a good place to live.
The property is at the perfect location, equal distance to the university and city centre. The property is managed very well and the student's wellbeing is priority. There is a feeling of belonging and that allows everyone to feel at home, especially international students.
The rooms were small, needs a lot of repairs due to low-quality construction. There was no social activity at all. You will be blessed if you get good roommates otherwise best of luck.
Definitely one of the best accommodations!
Red Queen offers an adequate to good overall student living experience. From the perspective of a domestic student there are a few concerns, particularly around value for money. The space permitted does not enable me to post a full review here. Please email: ***************** if you would like my full take.

I am enjoying my stay at Red Queen, very friendly staff.
the staff are very helpful and thoughtful.
Staff amazing can we have a post lockdown party please
Great staff would recommend to everyone
Red Queen is the best student accommodation i have ever visited. Its always well maintained and the staff are brilliant.
Rebooked for next year the staff are fantastic safe and secure clean and new home from home
Amazing staff really friendly and helpful what more could you want
Just arrived staff are really good really good accokodation
I highly recommend Red Queen, it is the best accommodation I have stayed in and the Red Queen team are amazing, so helpful and friendly.
To conclude, it is comfortable to live in, it will celebrate festive occasionally and provide wonderful gifts, but two main disadvantages are that the room is small and item repair is late.
good quality for rooms. nice community environment.
There are many supermarkets and fast food restaurants around. It is really convenient to live in.
The best accommodation I’ve ever had! The room is inviting, the shared space is big enough where many facilities are provided, such as washing machine, one hob per person, oven and so on. Also, living in Red queen is convince as Coventry business park is nearby, including a huge supermarket and many famous restaurants..
I’m impressed by the clean living environment and friendly staff in this apartment. There are many surprises and varieties of festival celebration during the time. However, the bin house is not convenient for me to drop the bin bag and clarify the recycled one as well as non-recycled one.
For its first year, the staff and management have done very well in organising everything especially given the opening took place during COVID. The staff are very friendly and accommodating too- any issues get resolved very quickly. The facilities including the gym are well kept, although understandably had to temporarily close due to covid restrictions. Could not really ask for more!
Red Queen is providing a kind of service with quality and efficiency. For example, in pancake day, it created activities to make students have fun.
Brilliant accomodation, wonderful property staff. Locations a 10/10 in terms of grocery, fast food & bus stops.
Well Managed property with optimum amenities for students.
Great experience! I've had a good time here.
good location, near the sainsbury's: It is convenient for us to buy food and necessities. good service from the property Management team.
The staff are really nice. The location is good, since it is close to the markets and restaurants.
If it weren’t for COVID, some scores would easily be higher. Quality cinema room and gym available for residents (policy dependent) make it worth the cost, with several spaces still available to meet people. Fun events led to help with lockdown boredom this last year. Staff at the accommodation are stellar, are always very polite and helpful, will smile and greet every time I encounter them, even tend to have conversations on the way in and out! I’m highly likely to be abroad for 21-22, but am very tempted to come back to Red Queen for my final year.
In my four years staying in the coventry area, this is by far the most stress free and fun place I have stayed.
staffs here are so friendly and helpful. BTW, there are so many activities here.
Hope that we could have cleaner every week to clean our kitchen
if we could have a cleaner once a month to clean our kitchen, that would be very nice!! hahahaha:)
That is a really excellent student accommodation. When the festivals coming, the staff will decorate the talking area. really nice
This is beautiful accommodation with Morden furnishing. The views out the winds are calming and most importantly you will not meet friendlier staff. The events held around the year made COVID more bearable. If I could I would choose not to move out.
Red queen provides a multitude of perks, ranging from the convenient location and on-site facilities to its proactive and approachable accommodation team. Despite the circumstances instigated by the pandemic, the property has managed to prioritise the safety of its residents through non-invasive measures and has sought to maintain positive vibes throughout the Red Queen community. It truly feels like being part of one big family.
Great accommodation near uni with good internet, make sure to get all the info of your room because sometimes they vary in size and shape
Red Queen is a great place to stay - located perfectly between a number of restaurants, shops and gyms. It has a cosy feel with rooms and kitchens that are fully equipped and a maintenance team at hand should you have any issues. The crowning jewel of the accommodation has to be the warm and friendly staff - Emma, Louise, Graham and Maggie who are always striving to provide the best student experience.
Such an amazing experience even for first years! Have not regretted living off campus once, highly recommend to anyone!!
warm and helpful staff，willing to help
Good location. All staffs are nice and friendly. Red Queen often prepare activities and surprises at various festivals. Love it!!
If you are looking for somewhere to live with the kindest in house staff then Red Queen is the place. The reception staff always have time to help with anything you might need from finding the nearest pharmacy, having a chat/laugh, enduring your fashion show with your new order of clothes or just giving you some chocolate. You can tell that they love their jobs and are an absolute joy to be around. The communal spaces at Red Queen are stunning and great for relaxing and studying. It is so useful to have a space to study and to get out of my bedroom. The bedrooms are well equipped and having an ensuite bathroom is great. The kitchens and living rooms are large and have ample fridge/freezer and cupboard space. There are also maintenance staff to help out with any problems. Another bonus is the effort they put in throughout the year for various days such as Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year. Overall, living at Red Queen has been a fantastic experience.
All the services are great! Strong vibe and nice decoration during festival! I will def recommend to others!
It's a nice apartment with convenient facilities.
As a first year accommodation, the flat is great in cleaning and quick response. The reception is responsible and provide some place for study.
I think the lights in the room are not that good to my eyes since the table light is a little dusky and the lights on the ceiling are too strong and always make my eyes tired easily. Also the table is back to the window so the sunlight from the window always makes me can not see my screen clearly.
The place is clean and quiet, love it！
Very nice and helpful people in the property management! The location is great and near a lot of places!
Simply amazing, it’s the perfect instagram friendly building. Emma is so friendly and helpful too.
