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.

I actually wanted to thank the staff of algernon firth for helping in every possible way, especially ollie who has helped me every time no matter what. You give the problem to him and he is always ready with the solution. So thank you ollie.
Hey! We are so glad to hear you are enjoing your time with us :)
The location and value for money is amazing, its so close to everything and for a dual residency studio we are able to manage comfortably with finances. Everyone here is super super friendly and you can tell they genuinely care about any issues we may have regarding the residency. Also, the maintenance team is great as any issues have been fully resolved within a week maximum. Overall just a really great experience and thats why we have chosen to live here for our second year of university as well.
Hi there, so glad you enjoyed your stay!
Simran is helpful and the nightcaretakers are very prompt.

Hey, thanks for your helpful review :)
The heater in the room is small and not effective and I have been requesting to resolve this. Internet keeps dropping often. Besides, It’s been good so far especially the location is great. Secondly, I really appreciate the staff here. They are very attentive , polite and friendly. I would like to thank simran, Paul, Faye and Kyle they are so supportive and helpful. Kudos to them . Keep up the good work
Hi there, so glad you enjoyed your stay!
I had the pleasure of receiving exceptional assistance from Simran, who made my experience as an international student moving into Algernon Firth accommodation incredibly smooth and stress-free. From the moment I started selecting rooms, Simran guided me through the entire process, helping me preview and choose the right space for my needs. Upon my arrival, she was there to hand over the keys and took the time to show me around the accommodation, ensuring I understood all the features and how everything worked. Her support was invaluable, especially for someone new to the country. Every step of the way, Simran made the transition easy and convenient, and her warm, helpful approach truly made me feel welcome. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Hi there. It's great to hear about your positive experience with us! Simran is a valued colleague, we will be sure to let her know :)
Great WiFi throughout my stay. Fantastic location especially for medical students being a 5 minute walk from Worsley. Variety of room types, I booked much later so I got a smaller room which I still had to pay more than my roomates. Had an incident where the toilet plumbing flooded my floor, for which it took them 2 weeks to fix. It was handled awfully. However they offered a £100 complimentary voucher for the situation. There is a cinema room, gym, laundry & bins facility, all are good. The cinema room is great but definitely need to upgrade their equipment as some wires have been damaged since moving in. Little events are help at Algernon, but rather held at hello students other sites. Little opportunity to meet anyone outside of your flat or studio. Friendly staff, and great help if using the hello students app. No standards provided e.g. hoover, kettle, toaster ect.

The location is really good - 15 min walk from the train station and 15 minute walk from the Merrion Centre so there’s good access to loads of different shops. Very easy and quick to access Uni of Leeds Worsley Building (shortcut through the hospital). The rooms and well maintained and any issues are easily reportable and handled well via the app. The app also makes it easy to ask any other general enquiries. Reception is also good with friendly staff - especially Simran who helps with EVERYTHING. She’s super friendly and easy to talk to so it makes the whole experience of living here a whole lot better! I’m glad to have got to know her and will miss her when I leave. Hope every who stays here gets to meet and appreciate Simran for being so amazing.
Hey! Thank you so much for such a lovely, detailed review of our property! We are especially glad to hear Simran has added to your great experience with us :)
I was so skeptical about the stay when I first booked it online. I mean, I never expected it to turn out so good. I just love it here, you know. It feels like home. It's so calm and peaceful all the time. Everything's just so perfect here. It may be the lovely staff who doesn't get tired of your n number of queries and yeah I have to mention Simran. She's such a sweet and jovial person to talk to everytime. Me personally love the kitchen as it is so spacious with lots of windows lerting in loads of sunlight, which you'll absolutely be missing in the UK😂. So it's nice to get as much Vitamin D as possible🤭. PS: If anyone wants to about the facilities, there's hot water available time of the day. The water is clean as well. You can find yourself a cozy gym to workout anytime. And a lovely cinema room. And the rooms are spacious enough compared to other accommodations. And it feels safe. So yeah you don't have to give a second thought about booking this Accommodation.
Hey! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Our team strives to ensure our studens feel welcome and at home are glad to hear Simran has been of help!
I really like this accommodation, it’s a great value of money. Nice location, not far from the main places I need to go. The room is spacious. Everything is pretty good. The reception is good. Simran is nice, she helps me a lot. I met her many times when I was picking up parcels or need other help. She is helpful and kind. All in all, I would recommend this accommodation.
Hey! We really appreciate your feedback and are thrilled to hear our accomodation would be a postive reccomendation!
Hot water is constantly broken. Black mold growing everywhere and they are reluctant to do anything about it. Grows in the kitchen, windowsills, and shower. The hot water has been off for weeks at a time with no offer for compensation or solution. We are even urged not to use the hot water even though bills and hot water is inclusive of the price. The only benefit is the location but there are much better options and I would not recommend this accommodation to anyone.
Hi, Thank you for reviewing our Algernon Firth building! Sorry for the recent issues that you are experiencing, I assure you this is something our team are working to resolve as soon as they can, in the meantime for further updates please contact your site team or book@hellostudent.co.uk
Thanks to the staff Shaun Wood at Algernon Firth, for being very patient, friendly and prompt in resolving the problem of my leaking toilet. My problem arose at the weekend and I thought the staff were on a break, to my surprise Shaun came to my room immediately to resolve the problem. Not only did he solve my problem perfectly, but he also patiently answered my questions about electricity safety. Thanks again to the professional and welcoming Shaun for everything you have done for me. I am very lucky to live at Algernon Firth and I have a great time here.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave such kind words about the team and more specifically Shaun! We hope you enjoy the rest of your time with us and should anymore issues arise, you know you are in good hands!

Good staff, good atmosphere. It's just that in the last half of the year there was too much work and renovation in this building, which affected the rest time and the clean and healthy environment.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback. It is good to hear you were happy with a few different aspects of the proerty, all contributing to what we hope was a lovely stay with us!
It’s prefect building with the perfect price. It is a good deal for the student
Thank you so much for leaving us such a great review - we really appreciate it :)
I’d rate pathetic excuse of an accommodation a 1/5. It gets 1 star because of its close proximity to the medical school. The place smells disgusting and ruins everything you own with its oder (your clothes, your headphones, your bag.. your skin?! Everything!). Do not come here if you want to smell normal; I’ve tried every possible thing to get rid of the smell but nothing works. I pay nearly £9k a year for the smallest possible studio that was riddled with black mould when I arrived and has every crevice full of dirt and gunk. The Wi-Fi lags constantly. The entire building is maintained with the most minimal effort. The fridge/ freeze size take the mic. There’s no oven and the cooking hobs are so close together that you can’t cook more than 1 thing at a time. I could go on and on about the shortcomings of this money grab but I’ll call it a day here… TL;DR The place smells like crap, has poor facilities and is dirty but, yeah, it’s close to the medical school so there’s that.
Good budget and excellent location.
