I stayed at this accommodation for three years, and from the very first day, they welcomed me with open arms and were always incredibly supportive, no matter the time—whether late at night or in broad daylight. I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Sarah and Tammie, who were always there for me. They encouraged me from day one to speak English, even when I wasn’t confident, reminding me that mistakes are part of the learning process. They were like mothers to me, people I could share my achievements and setbacks with, always happy to be there to support me. My room was beautiful, and I made it my own with lights, plants, and flowers. I left this accommodation because I finished university and moved on, but I will definitely return soon to say hello to the wonderful ladies at the reception. For new clients, rest assured that any issue, whether it’s with your room, shared spaces, reception, or keys, will be resolved within two days at most for a high-quality team. Lene ❤️

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.

decent accommodation all-round. super friendly night guard especially Damien, 11/10. i think its just missing a few touches and a bit worn down in aspects that would be important to a student. a more modern approach/ design would do this place wonders!!!
Hey! Thanks for the feedback. We are so glad to hear Damien has been so welcoming! We will take your feedback on board!
Good value for money, staff are nice and friendly.

Well priced room lovely staff.
Hey! Thanks for the lovely review, we are so glad to hear you are enjoying your home away from home.
The management at my accommodation is amazing as well as attending to maintenance issues quickly and on time. The accommodation is situated close to DMU and the city center; however, there is so much noise pollution! this is understandable as to how close the city centre is and there is a very busy ring road right outside; however, it is annoying when i am trying to study or sleep but all i can hear is car horns, ambulance and police sirens and people screaming on a Friday night.
Hey, thank you for your review! We understand this can be frustrating, if you would like to discuss this further, please email us at book@hellostudent.co.uk

Hey! We can't thank you enough for such kind words! We are so thrilled to hear you have stayed with us 3 years in a row :)
I loved my past two years at Applegate place ! The management has been great and they’ve been approachable, no negative thing to say regarding management. Just more the people I live with being messy at times , but that’s not much hello student can do !
Hey! We are so glad to hear your experince at Applegate has been great. If you are experinecing issues with your flatmates, please speak to our team or send us an email over at book@hellostudent.co.uk
My overall experience has been great. It is right next to the city center which is pretty good, however the University of Leicester is a bit far. The amenities are really good and the cleaners clean the place frequently.
Hey, thanks for leaving such a lovely review!
Overall experience at the property is good. However, it would be great if there is drinking water tap.
Hi! Thanks for leaving your review for Applegate Place building! - Glad to hear your experience in your home away from home has been good! We appreciate the feedback! :)
Steve helped me out so much today, he changed my lights for me :)
Thank you for sharing your review for our building and taking the time to praise our hard working site team!
My experience with the Applegate place has been very positive. I have a small en-suite room on 4th floor in block 2. It is actually a good size (I don’t have a lot of stuff I bring to university. I share the kitchen with 13 or 14 people which at first sounded like a lot. However, the kitchen is huge and split in half, there are appliances on each side so there are technically two kitchens. We also have lockers so we don’t accuse each other for stealing food too much. I can’t feel that there’s that many people living here. When it comes to cleanliness, it all depends on your roommates. I was quite lucky with them here as people mostly clean after themselves. We had a few bad incidents due to 2 people making mess, but everything’s been resolved. The gym has everything you need and isn’t too crowded. Staff is amazing, always helpful, I’ve had especially positive experience with Katarzyna, Stephen and the maintenance team. Overall it’s a shame I found Applegate so late (3rd year).
Thank you for sharing your review for Applegate Place building and taking the time to praise our hard working site team!

great accommodation, staff are very good too
Thank you for sharing your review on our Applegate building!
Helpful and dedicated staff, especially night staff member Micheal who always answers his phone when called and is happy to help. However, I have been needing a fob for almost a month now and they say that they cannot give me one because the engineer has not yet come to fix the system. It has taken to long for the issue to be fixed.
Thank you for reviewing our building, please feel free to contact us on book@hellostudent.co.uk if you would like to discuss this matter further!

Comfortable living spaces with gym, big kitchen and lots of social activities offered throughout the year.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, it is lovely to hear that your experience with us was such a positive one and that you made use of the on-site facilities!

Nice Accomodation, amazing people to the management, a lot of event. I chose this Accomodation for three years for these reasons. :)
Hi there! Three years!? We must be doing something right! We are so glad that we excelled your expectations and you enjoyed your time with us :D
Really clean and comfortable place to stay. Easily accessible and located well between the city centre and DMU campus.
Thank you for sending in your review, we appreciate the feedback!
Stayed here for two years and have had a great experience, the location is perfect, close to uni, shops, clubs and bars. Slightly on the pricier side but worth it for the quality of the room, I always get compliments on my room. Cleaning is done regularly and is always good but the cleanliness of the kitchen depends on your flatmates. Overall, I’d recommend this place to anyone!
Thank you for taking the time to review our Applegate building, we use these to better our service for our students!
Amazing staff Sarah, Sonya, Tammie and zuleikha easy to talk to and are polite, amazing value for money and convenient to get to university and town center

Thank you very much for your review!
Perfectly situated at the edge of town near all major events locations whilst being a leisurely 5min walk from the DMU campus. Rooms to fit most budgets and amazing views.

The staff are amazing and super friendly, and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure your stay is as hassle free as possible. Ps. Sonya is a great baker

One of the staff from the maintenance team came to fix my leaking tap immediately and completed it with in 4-5mins. I’ve so far had a great experience. I will definitely rebook for the next academic year.
