Living at Guilden Village has been an incredible experience, truly becoming a home away from home. From the moment I arrived, the team—Harvey, Sarah, Olga, and Norbit—made me feel like part of a family, always ready to meet every need with a smile. The vibrant community, supported by numerous events like Guilden Freshers’ parties and game tournaments, fostered lasting friendships. Meeting Sarah and Harvey was one of the best parts of my year, forming lifelong bonds that I deeply cherish. The premium facilities, including the private dining area, games room, and private cinema, provided endless entertainment, and the consistently clean and beautiful environment made it all the more enjoyable. The small details, like the constantly replenished flower beds, added warmth and comfort to my stay. Despite the challenges of pursuing a difficult degree and working full-time, the supportive and fun atmosphere at Guilden Village made everything feel less stressful. I wholeheartedly recommend!! ❤

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.

It’s next to a huge public park, a massive leisure centre and amenities. The bus service is so useful and the rooms are amazing. All digital Samsung appliances and comfortable en-suites. I don’t have a bad thing to say about guilden village. Harvey is a queen

good location very close to uni also has a shuttle bus, great staff xx
Really great accommodation complex. Facilities and location are second to none.
Ok ok good nice 666 .not good.
Very good place to live, and very safe and facilities provided are very good and up to date. However, if on student loans then you will need to learn to budget, but to have the best experience students should learn to keep their kitchens clean as soon as they move in, I learned the hard way, so always make sure to clean your dishes! Apart from that, a very good experience with a kind and helpful accommodation team that will always be there for you if you encounter any issues during your stay.
Great place Lovely staff Modern facilities Great party’s Great freebies
Excellent experience!! The reception here is so welcomed. Lots of events… and free doughnuts!!

really nice environment, staff are usually very nice and there is lots of events hosted in the building
Social events perfect just sometimes they are at times when conti students are at uni ie cinema screenings/ spin the wheel (normally). Maybe move them to friday if possible?
Generally a safe, comfortable place to live, sometimes the management is a bit chaotic.
Good facilities and nice place, however left us without hot water for about a month, TVs get broken, laundry machines break, and with no compensation for it!

Would highly recommend! perfect for students and bb nice atmosphere
Very responsive on emails and singular maintenance issues and the rooms are nice! Sometimes we have issues with maintenance for example, lack hot water and internet. Also used to have one staff member that abused his power and was very rude but this has been sorted now!
Great area, town is only a 30 mins walk. Unfortunately they don’t have staff on at weekends which is when we need them most for parcels etc

GUILDEN SUMMER SEASON!!!!!!!!!!
What a great place to stay! Love it. Wow. Great stuff :)

Guilden village is really nice.
things could be fixed sooner, cleaners don’t come that often
Everyone is very helpful and is always happy to help, great atmosphere and facilities, would definitely recommend
staff are so helpful and friendly, rooms are really nice and lots of storage room, and lots of facilities like gym and cinema. Would recommend.
Guilden village it’s good, good price, nice people, very helpful, lots of stuff to do, Harvey and David are rather swell
Great place to stay. Very good amenities. The location is quite a walk to the town but it is right next to the park which is very nice. There are some management issues in the building but they are quickly fixed.
It’s good put a bit pricey for what it is
It's a pretty good place the staffs are too friendly and the place is quite and calm, there are plenty of people across the globe to catch-up. The customer service is outstanding.
Caring staff, modern clean spaces, great student living. Love the events that are put on for us too!
Amazing good, I think it’s a good accommodation and is built properly.
It’s overall a decent option but depends on your needs really. The Gym is amazing tho
Melissa has been super lovely and helpful throughout my stay at the accommodation. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone!
Save your money and live in the university accommodation. The building and facilities look nice but it is rubbishy inside. Cleaning, and safety issues are always there .. very late maintenance and management don't care …. the management will be nice with you until you sign the contract.. then you will realize you were trapped wish i can put pictures so you see what i mean.. they care about marketing more than people living at accommodation
The accommodation may look very modern and great. But the price you pay to live here and what you get for it is appalling. The biggest issue is the standard of cleanliness, having no cleaners for the kitchen and after enquiring and requesting for one, are sent away and told to clean the kitchen ourselves, even though the website advertised a cleaner for the kitchen every week. We are also not provided equipment and necessities to clean the kitchen ourselves, having one hoover for the entire accommodation, which is simply not good enough. The management is terrible and does not take issues seriously,they really have created a nightmare of a stay. The rooms are fine,the bathroom is nice and the wifi works, however, this is the bare minimum and the organisation behind this accommodation need to fix up and get their priorities right because I would not recommend living here at all. They are selling you a false product
Excellent locations with many available facilities like study rooms, gym. Tidy spaces, clean. I would suggest that some items could be available from the facility, for example coat hangers or some basic bathroom items such as toilet paper. So much money for rent (with bills included) but could also include some basic items. But I am very happy and satisfied about Guilden Village in general.
