Most helpful review

It has been absolutely amazing. The staff are lovely and help with any enquiries. For example, when I needed to get my lights changed in my studio, they were fast enough to get it done the same day and kept me updated. The building itself is maintained to stay clean. There are also lots of facilities which are easy to book such as cinema room, study room, thanks to the staff. I would definitely recommend staying here, ive always felt safe and comfortable especially with the 24 hour covalence and security. And I enjoy the little meet up sessions with coffee that the accommodation facilitates, it’s lovely to connect with other students living here and allows me to make new friends.

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.

Overall i’d say the accom here at lumis especially for studios are very modern and spacious. Having moved in september 2024, i did have minor maintenance problems in which i believe the maintenance guy, Liam, (if im not wrong) was able to resolve quickly + effectively. Previous management were very slow in handling maintenance + had a lack of care however with this new management I’ve experienced a great amount of care, support and communication from staff Lydia and Abid who always go above and beyond when resolving problems with their tenants. For this reason, I’d be staying here for my final year. My only suggestions would be in near future the gym facilities could be upgraded ie. a stair master + with the lumis app to include a feature to track if u have any parcels available. Lastly for the rebookers to be given a loyalty discount for rebooking 😊

We had a lot of issues when we first arrived and it does take a while for them to fix issues. However, the new management team are a bit better but we are still experiencing issues. it’s a good location and somewhat good value for money but for what it is like vs the staff and team who work there and the maintenance issues, it should be lower rent.

Been here for 2 years now, maintenance s***. Things i emailed about at the beginning of my tenancy have still not been. They use a lazy way to keep track of parcels and all their staff aren't even properly trained on how to find it. So things are constantly getting lost or im having to wait days for someone actually qualified just to find a parcel. Maybe if they brought back tracked parcels which were sent to our email, this accommodation would be like okay.

My review is mainly 50/50 as my experience from the previous management LUMIS was under was terrible, I would be here for ages talking about how bad the last management was, even though they had terrible management before staff such as Abid still worked hard to ensure students were comfortable. The new management right now makes lumis an amazing place to be, members of staff are amazing now and very responsive, Abid is still at lumis which is great as the other new members of staff are just as good as he is. The new receptionist, Lydia Smith I think her name is, she is amazing, from the moment she started I could tell that lumis would change to become an amazing student accomodation, she has handled and sorted so many issues with the accomodation that previous staff have left and shes managed to pick up after them and handle so many things in such little time and she needs to be applauded for her hard work.

One of the best destinations for an accommodation literally 2 minutes away from campus. The staff are very friendly, including The maintenance guys. The rooms look nice but are a bit pricey for the size, however being close to the campus is beneficial so I’d rather pay that price. Social interaction is not so good as I have a studio but if you are talkative then maybe this is the right place for you !!

Lumis this year the price has been good but maintenance not so much, takes months to fix something but recently they changed management but the prices for rooms next year are so expensive compared to this year and they did not warn us about this. Maintenance has been fixed and now issues are resolved within a couple days or so. I’m extremely upset about the price for next year as most of my sfe will be going towards it.

Lumis has its ups and downs. The management are a bit delayed when it comes to solving issues which are of importance. Example, my heater was broken for 3 months and it took a while for it to get sorted as a new one was needed. However, the social space is amazing and the gym section is brilliant if you need to get your last minute steps in.

The room is not bad. But the worst thing is you can get the parcel only after 4pm while the others accommodation can get anytime of the days. Some of the staff ( especially night shift ) is always in the bad mood and behavior. When there’s any issue, it’s always take too long to solve the issue. It would be so great if all this problems can be solve or better within my stay.

I had the pleasure of spending my second year of university living in a studio at Lumis Student Living, and it was an absolute delight. After my first year in university halls, sharing an apartment with four other girls, moving to my Lumis studio was like a blessing in disguise. The studio quickly became my home away from home, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to live during my university years. One of the most impressive aspects of Lumis Student Living is the value for money. The price I paid for the studio was definitely worth it considering the quality of accommodation and amenities provided. The spacious rooms offered more than enough space to comfortably live and study, and the overall setup made it a perfect living environment. However, what truly sets Lumis apart from other accommodations is its incredible staff. The team, led by the manager Stevie, Fatima, and the security, Mo, along with the maintenance staff, Abid, were simply outstanding.

When booking, they informed me that we can change the living dates as you wish, and they also did not inform me that I need to have a guarandotor in the UK, even though they know that I am an international student. 14 days after booking, that is, when I can't get my deposit money back, they told me that the guarantee is not valid and they cannot change the dates for me, and when I asked for my money back, they did not give it back.

HORRIBLE. If you are a student looking to party and get no work/studying done then go here. People are loud and obnoxious and have 0 respect for others who live on their floor. You will not get proper sleeps here because of how loud everyone is.

Super recommended! My favourite thing about Lumis is the en-suite bathroom, which is modern and spacious, and most importantly spacious. Many of my friends' flats are the most spacious compared to Lumis'. The rooms are very well equipped, the oven and microwave are all in one! And there is plenty of storage space in the room, so you don't have to worry about having more stuff than you can fit in. The most important thing is that the flat has a free gym and yoga room, and of course there are other activity rooms such as a cinema room, games room, meeting room, billiard room, etc. Another reason why I chose Lumis was the 24 hour security, which gave me peace of mind. Reception is able to receive deliveries, once I forgot one of my deliveries had arrived, I went back 10 days later to pick it up and it was still there in perfect condition. Regarding the price, compared to other flats lumis is exceptionally good value for money! Delighted! Love it! Recommend!

This is my second year living at LUMIS and it has been great. All staff are really friendly and always super helpful. Although COVID has had an impact on the social aspect, pre-covid it was really fun - LUMIS provides really cool social spaces. Location is so convenient - a 5mins walk to uni/town and a 10mins walk from the train/coach station. The only let down would be the WiFi -can be quite slow at times which is a little frustrating.

Lumis Leicester student accommodation. Decent sized rooms en-suite nice touch in every room. Laundry room is accessible with a good amount of washers and dryers. The kitchen I spacious and parcels arrive fine. The staff are nice and maintenance is fast. However it should be said that the air smells dangerously of weed. Overall pleased.

It has been nice living at Lumis, I have enjoyed being here however the cleaning is not as regular as I would have assumed, I have had a stain on my carpet in front of my door for weeks now. The social aspect hasn’t been great due to COVID but other than that the staff are all mostly friendly and helpful. I have only had one bad experience when I was unable to receive a package as one of the staff had decided to go home 10 minutes early so I had to wait to the following Monday. The location is great literally a 5 minute walk from uni and the facilities are good.

A clean, modern accommodation with helpful staff. You get what you pay for. Very close to town, so lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The flats are spacious but homely and the rooms have so much storage.

Helpful staff, organised parcel / mail system and safety measures. Great designated social area. Suggestions: 1. have a designated drop off for visitors as it is hard to find parking in the area. 2. A better varied gym equipment and maybe expend - as it quite small.

Lumis was my second accommodation option however it was a nicer place and worth the money In comparison to the other accommodation. Staff are very friendly and always go out of their way to ensure the environment is nice and clean as well as always decorating when there is holidays and events happening for example Valentine’s Day, Christmas and St Patrick’s Day and this personally always puts a smile on my face. Lumis also provides free refreshments and toiletries which isn’t common for accommodations. I strongly recommend Lumis to anyone who is looking for an accommodation in Leicester as it’s also close the town!

living at Lumis has been one of the most enjoyable parts of my university experiences. Everything here is so nice, it is clean, well furnished and modern and you are really able to feel at home here. it’s location is perfect for both Leicester universities and is also perfectly located near the city centre. The staff here are so kind and are always there to help with anything you need, even if it is just a chat! 10/10 would recommended choosing Lumis in Leicester.
