Really enjoying my stay at The Foundry! It's a great choice for first year students looking to find new friends and socialise easily. Staff are extremely nice and always on top of any maintenance issues. Would definitely recommend this accommodation as it is one of the best value for money around leeds. :)

Student Review: 4.9 /5
By member7124207 On 19th November 24 verified Verified student

The Foundry is a perfect place to live. When I was considering different available options, I found it among one of the best in terms of its location, facilities and staff. Currently, I am enjoying a comfortable stay here. The foundry staff is incredibly helpful and accommodating, always willing to assist with any questions or requests. The building security is always around and I feel safe here. Other facilities, including Kitchen, TV Lounge, Gym, Games Room, Cinema, Study area, Cycle Store and Bin Store make it more comfortable and versatile, offering a range of options for a student. Social events hosted in the building, are another best thing at the part of administration. It offers an opportunity to meet other students and make friends. Moreover, it takes 20 minutes to reach my university from the Foundry. I definitely and strongly recommend this accommodation owing to the above-mentioned reasons. It also offers a good value for money.

Continuing to stay here for a second year, I can confidently say it’s a great choice if you’re studying at any of the Leeds universities. The location is perfect- within a good distance of the University of Leeds, Hyde Park, and the city centre making it super convenient for visiting friends or commuting to a job in the city. The property management team is fantastic- always friendly, attentive, and quick to resolve any issues. The rooms and kitchens are well-designed with plenty of storage space, and cleaning equipment is available to borrow from reception. There are circuit laundry facilities and bin stores on the floor below. There are also lots of social events hosted in the building, making it easy to meet new people if you’re into that. If not, the rooms have good soundproofing so that you’re not disturbed by party noise from other flats. Overall, it’s been a great experience, and I would recommend The Foundry as a safe and reliable accomodation choice!

Living at the foundry has been a pleasure. They are a warm welcoming site with receptionists i can’t falut. Francessa is brilliant, alway checking if people are okay, asking how their days are and with us being young and away from our home towns she makes everyone feel at home. The maintenance could be more efficient with sorting out faults as i’ve had a few problems that haven’t been looked at yet. The area is safe to an extent. Being from near leeds i am aware of surrounding places and how that impacts the accommodation. It can get really noisy with cars being revved up and down the street but that’s not a foundry problem, security make sure no one like that is allowed in anyway. Overall the foundry is a well rounded good for money accommodation and i would recommend!

The Foundry is an exceptional commendation, only a 15-minute walk from the University of Leeds and 20 minutes to the city centre; the Foundry has many facilities for residents, including a free gym, study spaces, communal lounge area and cinema room. Rooms are cleaned and well maintained. Excellent 24/7 security and maintenance issues are solved in a timely manner. I would recommend the Foundry for anyone coming to Leeds for the first time and returning students! :)

I've had the pleasure of living at The Foundry for the past three years, and I can honestly say it has been an exceptional experience. The management team has been nothing short of amazing—always approachable, responsive, and genuinely committed to ensuring residents have the best possible stay. Their professionalism and dedication have made my time here incredibly smooth and enjoyable. The location is absolutely perfect, especially for anyone who wants to be close to the heart of Leeds. Being just a short walk away from the city centre means you're never far from shops, restaurants, and all the amenities that Leeds has to offer. re a Overall, The Foundry has provided a safe, comfortable, and well-managed living environment. I couldn't have asked for a better place to call home during my time in Leeds. Highly recommended!

This apartment is highly recommended! It offers a cozy environment, top-notch amenities, and exceptional customer service. I've been living here for a year and have received numerous freebies (i mean, who doesn't love freebies?). The amenities provided here are unlike any I've seen elsewhere. In addition to the fantastic perks, the location is superb, with easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment. The maintenance team is quick to respond and resolve any issues, ensuring a hassle-free living experience. The community is friendly and hosts regular events that create a strong sense of belonging among the residents. .

The Foundry accommodation in Leeds is absolutely fantastic! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the modern and stylish design. The rooms are spacious and well-furnished, with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The common areas are great for socializing and meeting new people, and the on-site facilities like the gym and study rooms are a big plus. The location is also perfect, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and public transportation. Overall, I highly recommend The Foundry for anyone looking for a top-notch accommodation experience in Leeds! 🏢✨

Throughout my whole time at the Foundry I have felt welcomed and safe in the accommodation. I have had little to no issues with the WiFi when competing my uni work. The staff are also really friendly and take the time to say hello to you. The rooms are definitely worth the money, they are really homely and you are able to feel relaxed yet also are suitable to do your work in. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a safe, friendly and modern accommodation.

Overall wouldn’t recommend The Foundry. There is constant noise from other flats, especially banging and jumping in the night. The rooms can get unbelievably hot, especially in summer. The blinds do not fit the window 100% so there is a lot of light pollution at night. There are few washers and dryers, so people will often take other people’s washing out and leave it on the side. Finally, flats are known to randomly flood

The security work in the apartment is very good, and there are staff at the front desk 24 hours a day. You can easily contact the front desk to solve the problem. The front desk of the express delivery will assist with collection and send an email reminding you to pick up your package. The location of the apartment is very good, and there is a bus stop not far from the apartment, making it convenient to go to school or the city center. The room area is relatively large and tidy, with a dishwasher in the public kitchen, which is also my favorite public facility. The refrigerator has enough space for you and your roommates to allocate. There are not many washing machines and dryers in the laundry room, but they are sufficient for use. The cinema and gym equipped in the apartment are good places to relax in daily life. The game room and public space downstairs are great places to hold gatherings. I have been here for 4 months now and every person I have met who live here is very friendly.

Embarking on the new academic year at The Foundry was an incredible experience. Nestled in the bustling heart of Burley Street, this residence provided a focused and concentrated environment for students like me. The vibrant surroundings boasted a myriad of delightful cuisine restaurants and convenient grocery stores, making every day a culinary adventure. One of the standout features was the ease of transportation, with well-connected bus stations and round-the-clock cab services ensuring hassle-free travel. The accessibility factor played a pivotal role, making it a breeze to navigate the city. The rooms at The Foundry exceeded expectations, offering a perfect blend of comfort and coziness. The ample space provided a welcoming atmosphere, while the emphasis on hygiene throughout the building ensured a safe and pleasant living environment. Moreover, the residence's communal spaces were nothing short of impressive. From activity rooms that encouraged creativity and collaboration to

The Foundry is an excellent choice for a student accomadation… The property is situated in a very accessible place to all near by convenience stores. The city Center is just a 12 minute walk from the property… The team at foundry are very friendly and kind enough to answer all your questions. The rent payment is also very much hassle free. If it’s your first time at Leeds, foundry is the best place for you to help u get settled in and start your university with a smile..

Good place to live close to university and and city centre. Rent prices are expensive but it's probably one of the more affordable private accommodation out there that have a decent living space. No parking space is available makes it difficult for students that need a car travel to placement or home often.

I had a great experience staying at this accommodation. It offers excellent value for the price, with convenient amenities like a dishwasher and a well-equipped kitchen. The staff here is incredibly kind and always ready to help with any issues, including cleaning. Additionally, the accommodation hosts events, making it easy to meet new people and enhance the overall student experience. While there's always room for improvement, my overall stay here has been amazing, and I look forward to seeing even more positive changes in the future.

I’m in my first year of university and living at The Foundry has been such a great experience so far! It’s in a really good location with easy access to the university or city centre, whether you’re walking or taking the bus. There’s a lot of shops and food places nearby and the area feels safe to walk in. There are quite a few other student accommodations around as well so you really get that student life feel. My room is an en-suite and it’s a really good size. When I first moved in, everything was perfectly clean. I definitely recommend staying here :)

This is my first year living in the foundry and it has been clean at all times and if i have had a problem it has been resolved quickly. I would recommend living in the foundry to anyone i spoke to who wanted advice on where to stay for university in leeds as it is only a 10-15 minute walk to the main part of leeds and all universities are a reasonable walking distance away. The rooms are a good size and there is plenty of room for all my things.

I just checked in more than a week. I have to confess that at first I was pretty disappointed with my room because my room definitely hasn’t been cleaned before I checked in, and I arrived at 11pm so nobody could clean the room for me at that time, I had to slept on my luggages my first night in UK! But luckily reception responded email the next morning and sent a housekeeper to my room. After a couple of cleaning, I finally settled down. MOST receptionists are nice, you could ask them any questions and they would happy to help you. Except that, there are a lot welfare in the flat, sometimes is free food and drink, tonight is tampon and toilet brush, it’s so sweet! There was a puppy therapy before, you can cuddle with puppies, if possible hold it again🥺. This world needs puppies! So even though the beginning of my journey there was not perfect, people and circumstances here make me love it already~

This is my second year at the foundry and it feels like a second home to me now. I stayed here from a recommendation from my boyfriend who stayed here prior and also loved it. The staff are lovely and the rooms are spacious and feel really homely once you’ve decorated a bit. I really couldn’t fault it

I was surprised with the value for money as my accommodation is cheaper than all my friends accommodations and is noticeably better quality from the size of the kitchen and dishwasher which is a life saver, quality of room as well as large common room, private study rooms, gym and especially the cinema room where my friends all come down to watch as you can plug your laptop and watch any apps like Netflix/Disney+ etc. There’s a co op right opposite as well as a Tesco 2 minutes down the road with a dominoes inbetween which I go to a lot more than I should. The staff is so lovely and everyone’s helpful. There’s always freebies in the entrance which is available to everyone from sweets, tea bags, sugars, sanitary products and you get a lovely welcome package with essentials like a thermal portable coffee cup, noodles, liquid for the laundry room and so much more! Love it here so glad I came.

I live in flat 64, I was welcomed with a lovely package which honestly saved my life on the first night as I was STARVING. My room is nice and I’ve made it even awesome with my decorative skills. Interior designers can eat my dust. The foundry is nice and quiet yet still buzzing enough to not be boring. Very happy with my stay :)) but yknow what would make it evvvvven better? A television!

Excellent staff and maintenance to help with any issue at hand! 24/7 security, very clean rooms and many facilities available to residents including a downstairs gym, games room, lounge and cinema room. The Foundry is very close to the city centre and the University of Leeds! Excellent value for money! Amazing accommodation :)

First time at the foundry, this is way better than my previous accomodation at the start I was very sketchy as it wasn’t linked to the university I was going to or it wasn’t a university provided accommodation. However the last time I did stay a university provided accomodation it was the worst thing ever it wasn’t clean and the people weren’t friendly. The foundry had different experience as they are very welcoming and friendly and have different things at the reception such as goodies and offer many days like animal therapy which I’m still excited to try. The rooms are spacious and have enough storage and this is coming from someone who overpacks. It’s a very modern room and kitchen and they’re fobs for your own room so you don’t have to worry about personal items going missing. They’ll let you know when you have a parcel that has arrived however my other accomodation would only deliver it on a certain day and you only had a couple of a hours to collect it before they removed it.

I've lived here now for 2 years and am currently into my third and final. The Foundry is a really enjoyable place to live with a lot of fun events hosted throughout the year. It's definitely not been without it's issues, but anytime there has been one, it's always resolved by the staff quickly and efficiently. I've loved my time here, made a couple of friends who are going to be with me for the rest of my life. It really is an amazing place to stay and I'm looking forward to seeing what this year holds

My stay so far has been a 7/10, i’ve had issues with a noisy leaky shower pipe that was only fixed two weeks later by the old management, and the lift was broken for months and I am living on the 8th floor, there’s also very loud construction from time to time (which cannot be avoided). However the location is decent and I like the new management! they are very friendly and are doing a good job. Thank you.

My first year at uni and also my first year at the foundry has been great, my parents are super comfortable with me staying here for the rest of my uni experience due to the great staff, safe location and late night security, as well as knowing I have a spacious room and bathroom to myself! Any troubles I’ve had the Staff have been there for me, willing to compromise and suggest anything to better my experience! Shanay and David are really outstanding people and the rest of the staff are super welcoming too, I’d highly recommend staying here, the only thing I’d recommend is bringing a fan, the rooms can stay a good temperate but now it’s heating up outside if you have another person in your room it can get warm, nothing unbearable though! I really feel at home here and can’t wait to continue my uni future with the foundry! X - Tiff (Also the internet is insanely good, if you have Ethernet connection or just wanting good wifi I highly recommend here, if you game a lot then believe me!)

I would say that this is an outstanding accommodation option for students. The location of The Foundry is one of its greatest strengths. It is situated in an excellent and safe area that offers a wide range of amenities, making it very convenient for students to access key facilities such as universities, shopping centers, and public transport. The property management team at The Foundry is exceptional. They provide outstanding customer service, and any issues are always resolved promptly. This is a significant advantage for students who need reliable and efficient support while living away from home. I would highly recommend The Foundry student accommodation to anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable living experience while studying. It is money well spent, and the exceptional location, property management, cleaning standards, social spaces, social experience, and internet/Wifi connection make it an excellent choice for students.

Recently moved to Leeds as a mature student and I really do like staying here. The location is great as it's very near to everything and within walking distance of the University. The staff is absolutely lovely, all of them, they are all really friendly, Ryan, Bruno and especially Shannay who always has a nice smile on her face at the front desk! If I was going to be here for more than a year I would already rebook to stay again :).

One of the worst accomodations I've ever stayed in. Don't live here if you actually want to get work done in your rooms. We weren't warned that there would be construction noise every single day that even occurs on the weekends. Genuinely unbearable. Noise in general throughout the accom is very loud too as the walls are paper thin. I had noise problems and the immediate response of staff was asking me if I want to move rooms (which has a £50 fee) instead of finding out where it's coming from. Absoloutely not worth £163 a week as there's barely any quiet at all. Maintenence requests take ages to deal with as well. Genuinely think there should be some sort of compensation considering the noise nuisance but it's all really a money grabbing scheme at the end of the day. Save yourselves the headache and find a quieter place to live! (writing this as I'm hearing construction noise outside the window and can hardly hear myself think!) Thanks for nothing Foundry!

My time at the foundry has been nothing but positive, my room is a great size and the kitchen is perfect. Whilst it’s a 10 minute walk to uni this isn’t much! The foundry has been great for my first year and I’ve loved it.

Would give 0 stars for property management if possible. Over the course of the 6 months we stayed there our door broke 3 times and locked us out. The staff were completely unhelpful and left us with a broken door over night and after not passing on the message to the night staff one of them pulled out the door wedge leaving us with no way to get in as the master key wouldn’t work. We were then told we should ‘sleep somewhere else for the night’ as they couldn’t find an emergency lock smith, despite the fact that one of the tenants is diabetic and needed the medication in her room. After hearing this we ourselves found a locksmith within 5 minutes and called him out to come therefore solving the problem ourself with the short fall of management that should’ve been prepared for this situation. We also experienced a flood from the flat above whilst living there and called for maintenance as it happened at 7pm and they never came leaving us splashing in ankle deep water in the kitchen.

Amazing place to stay especially as a first year who didn’t get allocated a decent enough place to stay through the university so when choosing other accommodations privately this one stood out as the most modern with friendly staff. In a prime student location with around 7 other student accommodations in the area so always lively and easy to socialise and only short distance to the university of leeds and into the city centre. Staff are amazing and will do anything for you, they hold lots of social events in the social areas including a DJ once coming in, lots of free food and buffets, karaoke nights, themed quizzes with prizes. Literally no other accommodation does this!! Great amenities including a gym, cinema room and study spaces. Wifi is always fast and working. 24hr security most of time so can get parcels out of working hours. Overall would tell anyone to stay here if going private and not with the uni allocation

Friendly staff, good location and clean. Rooms are bigger than expected. Nice social spaces as well. However the walls are paper thin so can always hear flatmates talking and upstairs neighbour walking around and slamming their doors shut etc which makes it hard to sleep and concentrate on work. Very noisy accommodation so don't recommend if you are doing your masters or in final year like me. Also opposite a construction site which adds to the noise and also lack of privacy as builders look into the windows a lot. Fire alarms go off frequently and it takes them ages to sort it out. Recently it took about an hour. Security could be better as well as it is not 24/7 and if you contact them out of hours it takes ages for them to come. Overall it is OK but I am sick of the excessive noise.

Loved living here that much I’ve booked again for next year! Nothing is too much for the staff so friendly and welcoming, say morning everyday n always have little get together in the common rooms. Maintenance is great any problems are sorted as soon as possible. Rooms are spacious and kitchen/living area is big with everything you need, all the other students are so friendly and plan to go out and meet up, it’s close to everything including the city and the unis, the uphill is rather annoying but you get used to it. Located near other student accommodations so always close to other students. overall love it here, definitely recommend.

I'm in my final year of university in Leeds, and it was a hassle searching for accommodation for this year. I found The Foundry via a Google search and loved the amenities offered and how close the accommodation is to the City Centre and my university. I love my room (the bed is a great size), there is a lot of desk space and storage. However, the kitchen is a bit smaller than I had expected. There is also a great lounge area I use when my friends visit. I am honestly happy with my choice.

I have had a good experience staying at The Foundry so far (2021/22), the facilities are all up to a great standard, and it is a good location from the different university’s campuses. When I have put in maintenance requests they have also been answered promptly The reception team of Amber and Holly have been incredibly helpful with any issues I have faced, especially Holly when I misplaced my fob key I would recommend people stay here if they are based in Leeds for their studies

It’s not so close to city center as you may expect it. For me it usually takes more than 20mins to walk to the Light, Morrisons and other places located in city center. However it’s not a problem to me because I can do some exercise. The staff here are very helpful and responsive. If you have any questions, just tell them!

security could be better improved - wouldnt say 24/7 on -site security would be necessary but some way of contacting security at any point of time would be assuring. - many a times other tenants are throwing big parties and causinf nuisance/fire alarm goes off and either no action is takwn or a couple of hours hv to pass before securiry team is there to turn off the alarm. internet is highly unstable at times, more of a problem during lockdown as all work/studies are now online - a more stable connection should be offered. management - overall security and possible improvements to facility maintenance - lifts not working and staying unrepaired throughout the weekend. wouldnt be too big of a problem for small occupancies over lockdown - but at full occupancy of accommodation + only one lift for whole 9 floors of the buildinf may hv u waiting rly long - by when you'll almost always certainly give up and take the stairs aftwr waiting for 10 mins

A good place to stay in general. Very friendly reception team, especially Cameron - kudos! Prompt replies to email and maintenance requests, although I wouldn't say all of the maintenance attempts were a job well done. However, I do find the wifi to be unstable and drops quite frequently which is quite a pain during online classes.

I have been living at the Foundry for a couple of months now and couldn't be happier. A thing to note is that the images/virtual tours don't do the rooms justice, I was scared that my room would be small but its huge (premium ensuite). Same thing goes for the standard ensuite, its bigger than I expected. The kitchen is big and well equipped (incl. dishwasher). The bathroom is perfect - with a thermostat shower and good water pressure. The place is clean. The gym is sufficient for casual exercise. The staff are lovely and helpful. The terrace is very nice. I feel at home. Downsides? Not really. Obviously with students around there can be some noise, but its nothing too bad and noise complaints seem to get through alright. The internet is amazing, but I gave it a four star rating because it very occasionally comes up with lag spikes - this only persists for a few minutes though and wont affect most people. Location is good and is sort of the average distance from UoL and the centre.

Rooms have everything you could need, plenty of space and good storage. Kitchen areas well equipped (induction Hobbs so check your pans) Ground floor flat has extra space if you have the option it’s a good one to choose! Large bike storage area on ground floor. Maintenance team are helpful and respond to requests quickly.

The Foundry is such a great accommodation to stay in. Perfect for students with a good distance away from the Trinity Centre and the Universities. Couldn't have picked a better accommodation.

I cannot recommend The Foundry enough! I lived in the Foundry for the whole of my Nursing Degree (3 years). The Foundry has to be one of the most impressive student accommodations in Leeds, especially for the price! The flats are modern, yet homely. I loved everything about my flat. The living area has a big American fridge freezer and a built in smart TV, which is supported by great WiFi! The bedrooms have amazing double beds with large under storage and a beautiful en-suite bathroom (which I must say is difficult to find in student accommodations). Also, the social spaces are amazing and perfect to meet new people. In particular, the lounge is perfect or hosting pre’s. Though, the best thing about The Foundry is the staff. They are always helpful, friendly and nothing was too much to ask, Michelle and James in particular made my experience living here so positive. The Foundry became my home away from home and I am sure any student that chooses to live here will feel the same.

Thank you so much for a wonderful 2 years. Living here MADE my time here in Leeds! A massive thanks to Michelle and James who looked after us and always went above and beyond, they were always so friendly and made me laugh when I would stop and have a chat in reception. The location is perfect; only a short 15-20min walk to Uni, Town and the supermarket Aldi not too far away and easily accessible by bus! It really feels like the location is the best of both worlds! The gym is really great along with the social areas and cinema room and the fact that the accommodation has a bike store is really useful. The flats are amazing and have everything you need, and the rooms are spacious with a great vibe. I honestly had such an amazing time living at The Foundry, and despite University having its ups and downs (as expected), it was great to be able to come back to accommodation with such a pleasant environment and friendly people! The Foundry... you will be missed!

1. committed to providing 24-hour reception service, however, this service has been cancelled since in May; 2. committed to providing free printing/copying service, however, only be permitted to print 5 pages once. I hardly use this service as I printed in the school library before, but the university has closed temporarily, and I had a very important file which needed printing, so I asked for help and your staff refused me as my document page over 5 pages. I do not understand this rule, if maximum 5 pages can be printed at a time, how about I send 3 files (less than 5 pages) in twice or third times, will you help me print them? I am confused, will you have more reasonable and fail solutions? 3. though they did not do the wrong things, some staff's behaviours make me feel uncomfortable and impolite. No service attitudes!

some staff of reception are not very friendly. The facilities in social room are quite old and even damaged so I seldom go to the social room.

There are many things to like about ‘The Foundry’. From its location to the staff and facilities. 'The Foundry' is quite the modern student accommodation, with very cosy rooms. It is just a walk away from the city centre, nightclubs and most universities which means no city centre chaos. The staff at 'The Foundry' are always very welcoming and helpful which I feel is quite important when looking for student accommodation. While booking, the staff at 'The Foundry' were able to allocate me with other first-year students which allowed me to make friends and therefore, settle in well - enhancing my university experience. When re-booking ‘The Foundry’ staff told me about the ‘cash-back’ offer and ‘refer a friend’ offer, which is really appealing, especially to a student!
