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 like Merlin, rooms are nice and it’s in a nice located area however I don’t like the fact that we pay so much to be living like prisoners. After 8pm there’s guards doing security checks with a list of residents names and people can’t come in past that time unless they live here. Untop of that they make you bring out id during security checks to confirm ??? I’m coming from the gym I don’t take my id with me. It’s just annoying because loved ones and peoples partners cannot stay with you but here we are paying this much money it’s ridiculous and unfair to the vast majority that aren’t causing absolute chaos. I don’t recommend to be fair.
Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your thoughts. We're pleased to hear that you like the rooms and the location of Merlin. We understand that the security measures in place may feel inconvenient at times, and we apologise for any frustration this has caused. However, these measures, including ID checks and guest restrictions, have been implemented in collaboration with local police and the council to reduce antisocial behaviour and ensure the safety and security of all residents. These protocols have been recommended by the authorities to help maintain a secure and respectful environment for everyone. We appreciate your understanding and hope you continue to enjoy your stay with us.

Living at Merlin Heights has been a fantastic experience. The apartments are great, but what really makes this place stand out is the staff.

Experience has been good , first year living here
My experience at merlin has been very interesting
I’ve been here for three years and i am happy with my time here
Very good for money and good facilities etc
It’s ok, and it’s acc manageable
Good Accomodation with nice staff
for me Merlin Heights is the best options interms of location, you have access to the busstop which is 1 min walk where i get to use hop! Which is a free bus to my university. I get to go hycross which is the shopping paradise and soul center of Leicester. You have londis super market just beside the property and atm machine for quick money withdrawals. You have water bodies right across where you get to see dozens of swans and ducks. You have LIDL and ALDI supermarkets for budget shopping for groceries and home accessories which is 6-10 min. When you’re new here makesure to check on this, which saves alot if money and the staff members are very friendly and will help you in any problems efficiently and fast. And its the best place to find job easily without travelling much. My suggestion is to go for it, you won’t regret you stay at Merlin Heights.

One of the most affordable accommodation options in Leicester, fairly close to town and university. Decent rooms and kitchen space, however maintenance could be improved by having more staff. Lastly could get noise at times.

Thanks for the 5* review! We are glad you are happy with the services provided here at Merlin!
Merlin is alright! Like everything in life, but it's great having someone to talk to that's always there to help like uncle mike and Oasis in a barren land, his encouragement, insight fill answers to my question and problems, his words carefully created to keep me on the narrow path of mature behaviour and good decision making. Honestly uncle mike as be like family to me as when you are in uni u don't have ur parents around and there are some things you can tell them but Uncle Mike doesn't judge and he listens to help you be a better version of yourself and that why I have stayed at Merlin for 2 year straight.
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt review! We're so glad to hear that your experience at Merlin has been positive and that Uncle Mike has been such a supportive presence for you. It’s wonderful to know that you feel comfortable seeking guidance and that he has made a lasting impact on your time here.

Feels like home! The management are so nice and they quickly handle every query straight away. Feels safe too. The rooms are so nice the only issue being the freezer space in a studio.

We agree the location is ideally placed, glad it works well for you. The team take pride in create a home away from home experience for our residents so will be delighted to read this! Thank you for the lovely review :)

When I first moved to Leicester , I was immediately made comfortable by Michael who works at Merlin , he showed me around when I asked for assistance and always helped me immediately after any problems I may face , he is a kind man who has time for any issues and will always listen to whatever the problem may be , he is the reason I enjoyed my first year as much as I did and I hope I find more people like him in my years to come

Merlin Heights, situated in the heart of Leicester, the student accomodation is close to many shops making the overall living experience manageble. The aesthetic of the building, both in and out is modern and very satisfactory - value for money. The staff at reception are always friendly and very welcoming. They ensure you receive the best experience by sorting your deliveries and mails accurately for your collection. The cleaning staff are friendly, as well and they maintain the building in a tidy condition. The social spaces, such as the games room were inaccessible due to Covid restrictions, but when accessible, they were a fun place to hang out with your flatmates. Overall, a great place to stay. I certainly appreciated the hospitality I received.

Despite the covid situation, I have had a good year here at merlin heights. I’ve met a lot of good friends and the management have been amazing. The only downfall was not being able to use the social spaces as much as we’d like to, which is no fault of anybody’s of course. The location is great

Reception staff are so lovely and helpful, and have also tried their best to get students involved with virtual activities even through COVID. Never had any problems with security or being too loud etc. The studios and bathrooms are also very modern, spacious and include the main amenities. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone even after their first year of uni! I’ve stayed here for my final year and have had a very good experience!

Thank you for your kind review and lovely comments regarding our staff. We wish you all the best for your future!- The Merlin Heights Team
As a first year student at DMU I feel that Merlin Heights is the best option considering the price and the distance from the university, it also has very good facilites such as the Sky lounge to chill out and watch films and the games room being my favourite because of the pool table. The rooms and kitchens are perfect for a first year student too as they are nice and spacious and cosy with a nice modern touch. The staff are also very helpful and polite and make sure your questions are always answered.
Thank you for your kind review. It is wonderful to hear you enjoyed your time with us and got to make use of our facilities on site. We hope to welcome you back next term for a fun and exciting year!- All the best, The Merlin Heights Team
As a first year student I can’t recommend merlin heights enough, meeting friends has been so easy as well as settling in, the rooms are the perfect size and so cozy in the evenings, The staff personally for me were very helpful and are available to help and ask questions 24 hours of the day, washing facilities are close to all blocks as well as the sky lounge and games room, I use the sky lounge most days to study when not on campus, the best thing about staying here is you are a 5 minute walk from city centre meaning bars and clubs and under 10 minutes to de Montfort university, over all I have had an amazing experience here :)
Thank you for your lovely review! It's great to hear you made use and enjoyed our facilities during your time here. We wish you all the best in your future!- All the Best, The Merlin Heights Team
As a first Year uni student I feel that Merlin heights was the best accommodation compared to all other Uni accommodations in Leicester the staff are always polite and helpful and couldn’t be any better. The facilities at Merlin heights are very good, with the games room being my favourite because of the Pool Table, also the rooms and kitchens are perfect for any first year student as they are very modern and feel cosy.

The staff at Merlin Heights are polite and professional. There is always a high standard of service available with security on call 24/7. During the pandemic, the cleaning facilities were impeccable and the cleaners did their absolute best to keep all social spaces clean. I would definitely recommend staying at Merlin Heights.
