Q
I am going to book the 2nd floor, which is quite near the road. Could anyone tell me whether it is noisy or not? Thank you!

Hi, thank you for your question. As it is by the road, you will hear the traffic when the window is open. When the window is shut you can occasionally hear some noise, however usually it is quite minimal - The Renslade House Team

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.

Good morning, Thank you for your review, we are happy you are enjoying your time with us this year! Kind regards Renslade House Team
i like my room nice stuff I like eva
Advantages: - Room has lots of place for storage - Quiet enough at night, with some car pass by at night, but not disturbing at all , which is very nice - 15 minutes walk to Aldi - do not have to line up for laundry Disadvantages: - cinema room never opened - not much social space and not much facilities - Kinda far from main campus, around 30min walk with fast pace - Wifi in room is slow during peak hours, can’t even load the website, not to say videos. - Lift and common area are not clean, always have food spills on the floor and saw full rubbish bins. - Most of the residents are from Mainland China in my observation, they are sometime not friendly and leave a mess in the common areas. Overall: It is a nice place to live in with pleasant environment and nice room. But there’s just some issues that you may need to beware of when choosing accommodation. Not the best, but is acceptable.
Would highly recommend this place. Great location and lovely staff.
the room layout is quite bizarre. I cannot understand why the bathroom can be this small,but the living area is relatively so big…And also, I really don’t like the staff knock my door at late night, which makes me feel annoyed. Kinda disappointed
Amazing views and staff thank you for a great 3 years
all amazing I am ecstatic about it and very happy
The experience is actually good in terms of management.
A modern place with all the amenities and outstanding view of the river from its studio, value for money
Great student studios! The stuffs are very friendly and makes me feel like home here! Here has the gym and cinema which bring a lot of joy! Highly recommend!
Nice location, reasonable value of money, comfortable but could be better, especially on repair and maintainace.
Renslade House - great team, great social spaces and great value for money! Loving living here x
Amazing accommodation, lovely staff and lovely people
Honestly not a bad choice, a little out the way compared to others.
I absolutely am enjoying my time here!! So close to the city centre and is not to far from uni! Would definitely recommend staying here!
Eva is awesome and this place is amazing. Made a lot of friends here.
Sooo good love the reception services
The accommodation looks good from the outside but there were serious security issues. As a student living alone I was shaken to find out after living in renslade for months that the lock on my door didn’t work, and anyone could walk into my room while I was away or sleeping. When I brought the matter up with Renslade alongside video evidence of my door opening freely after I locked it, they treated the issue with no urgency. I asked if there was CCTV footage to at least check to see that no one had been near my room and they said this wasn’t possible. I was so anxious and felt unsafe. For the rest of the year I put heavy luggage bags on my door every night out of fear for my safety. Nobody was called to fix my door until weeks later and even after that my door didn’t lock. Things remained this way until March 2020 when I had to leave Exeter due to the Covid pandemic, and till this day I am traumatised by the situation and Renslade’s horrible handling of it.
Living in Renslade house has been a surreal experience for me. I’m a third year Business economics student and I feel like staying in Exeter for my masters because the hospitality, the view and the social space or availability of an array of different social spaces has mirrored the experience of Home away from home. In terms of Uni, if you get a bus pass you’re good to go whenever.
Really nice location, right by the river and close to the city centre. The facilities here are amazing, it's great having the study spaces rather than having to travel into the uni. The staff were always happy to help however they could.
I have really enjoyed living in Renslade House, the rooms are really nice, with great views. The facilities are also great, the study rooms and the gym in particular. The building is right next to the river which is so pretty and great for walking or running. It is a little bit far from the main campus of the university, but is really close to the high street. The staff are so friendly and always willing to help. I have also particularly enjoyed the free yoga classes each week.
A very nice building to live. The staffs are very friendly. Rooms and social spaces are clean and there is also a cinema room for residents.
Good place to live! I moved in summer and was afraid of living in studio and not having friends. But some of my coursemates live also here and we play pool together. Very good study rooms, you can work by yourself or together with friends. The reception people are very nice and polite.
This was the first year of this new build, so naturally there were issues cropping up throughout the year; anyone who has worked in any management knows this to be a normal stage. I would urge residents to recognise the relationship between Property Owners and the Residential Team, directing your cconcerns to the former, rather than vent at the latter. I am not aware of the Residential Team, nor the Building Owners (separate companies) offering merchandise in exchange for positive reviews. I agree the overheating is an on-going problem, and I had to buy tower fans to help with this. As for the facilities, they are excellent, as is the location. The internet was occasionally patchy, but ran predominantly smoothly. The only bugbear I had was with the social spaces often being overrun by noisey crowds between 1800 and 0300. Also there is no on-site parking. By far and large, I enjoyed my tenancy at Renslade House.
Very helpful staff, cleaning often, near the centre, the room has everything I need
Heat is a big problem in this accomodation. Even with the radiator off, rooms overheat to a worrying level in the sun, even during winter months. I have seen some rooms heat to 40 degrees, having caused a number of residents to cancel their contract after going though hell and back dealing with the property managers. This causes the fridges to work far too hard, resulting in one resident's fridge bursting and releasing toxic gases into the room. To anyone considering Renslade, I urge extreme caution. The accomodation team offered students free merchandise to leave many of the good reviews you see here. They are well known by both the University and local media for being irresponsible and un-cooporative with residents. They have a track record of mismanagement and complecency in dealing with legitimate and, in some cases, highly urgent student issues which has resulted in significant attention in the media, such as it's handling of resident health and safety, recently shown on the BBC
