It has been a great year here, with a great management team and very polite staff who are always willing to help with any problems. The not-so-good experiences were mostly due to the renovation work in the latter half of the year, moving rooms, and the resulting piles of construction materials and unsanitary conditions. However, the arrangement here has given me wonderful roommates and a precious cross-cultural friendship, so I would still give it a positive review.

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.

Asquith House has been great overall. The management is outstanding and always helpful. The refurbished rooms are moderm and are definitely a highlight. Location is good, close to everything I need. There is ongoing construction, which can be noisy, but it looks like it’s almost done. The social spaces could be better, but they’re still good. Internet connection is reliable and fast.

I rebooked to stay here, and I must say the change in management has been a game changer. The new manager has truly gone above and beyond to make the experience exceptionally smooth. One of the standout improvements is the fantastic new refurbishment. The flats now have a modern look thats ascetically pleasing and comfortable. The location is incredibly ideal and convenient. I look forward to my continued stay.

As someone who has just left this place after living in this accommodation for a year, I'd say trust me it's not worth it. Old management didn't care enough to maintain the place, it's now in terrible shape. New management is making changes, but they're mostly superficial, so it helps with nothing. It's gotten much more expensive. They're not really replacing all the appliances - so it's not great. I lived in the newer flats in the last couple of weeks, honestly no better than the older one I was in. The fridge in the 'renovated' apartment was still the old one from the original management and was smaller than the one I had in my original apartment. So many inconsistencies, they still had dirty carpets in the room and what not. Don't recommend it. Recent google reviews are very honest (as those are the people that lived there in the same year as me) - do look at them too.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review regarding Austin Hall, Leeds. As you have mentioned Mansion Student have recently taken over the property and we are making considerable improvements with a thorough refurbishment programme to the property - offering a modern and bright feel to the accommodation. We have a new hospitality team who are always on hand for our residents together with a number of student wardens who are available out of hours. The location is perfect for the University of Leeds, making the accommodation one of the closest in the area. We wish you all the best in your future career. Many thanks the Mansion Student team.
charging £740 a month for this place is ridiculous and not worth your money. I arrived to a broken fridge, burnt carpets, cracked and stained walls, as well as a shower that wasn't screwed into the wall. This place needed repainted and thoroughly cleaned. the only redeeming quality about this place is how close it is to Leeds arts university, until you account for the fact you have to go up a steep hill every day which makes the journey so much more difficult than just walking for an extra five minutes from a different accommodation. dont go here, save your money and your mental state
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and we’re sorry to hear about the issues which you had at your stay at Asquith House. The property has recently changed operator to Mansion student with a full refurbishment taking place throughout the summer with some fantastic improvement for our new resdients. We wish you all the very best for the future. Many thanks the Mansion student team.
The accommodation is lovely the staff are very helpful I would definitely recommend too people too stay here . Keep up the good work .
I was happy living at this accomodation. It is close to my studies and made lots of friends. The cleaner comes to kitchens is very friendly and reception is the best
I had no idea it could get that bad in a private accommodation site but they keep surprising me! Long story short; no amenities work, I have been without hot water since I moved in in September and it's absolutely impossible to get anything fixed. The entire building is gross and filthy; bathroom sink is below my waist (i'm 160cm); tap water ice cold and splashing everywhere; the furniture is on the edge of falling apart; there is no toilet seat, the toilet was broken when I arrived and they left me for 3 days without a fix; no recycling at all; the wifi mostly doesn't work; the reception is only open 10am-4pm on weekdays; no-contact with on-site staff; 10 pounds fee if you get locked out of your room; the lift mostly doesn't work; they burn trash outside and leave the fire unattended ffs! The staff are rude, indifferent and extremely unresponsive.
