I love living at St George’s Tower, this is my 2nd year living here. The building is already clean and there is security 24/7. I like the fact it’s a 2 minute walk to the train station and it is very close to city centre.

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.

Hello, :) Thank you for taking the time to leave us a kind review. Best Wishes SGT Team
Ideal student accommodation for all reasons- it's near to UoL and not far from DMU, right next to the train station and is near the city centre. Shopping for groceries is very convenient as small corner stores are right next to it or the larger grocery stores are only a 10-15 minute walk. Have stayed here for a while now and love having a studio, staff are amazing and any issues get sorted very promptly. Would definitely recommend to any student!
Hello, Thank you for such kind comments. We are pleased you enjoy living at at the tower. Best Wishes :) SGT TEAM
Jarod the manager is very friendly and always helpful, Farooq and other staff are also very friendly and always greeting with a smile, would recommend this accommodation to anyone!

I have been living in St Georges tower for a few years now, and it is safe to say that since then I haven't looked to change my accommodation. The accommodation has excellent services and it has a great location. I recommended this accommodation for my friends and all of those who decided to move to the tower say that they have made a great choice in choosing St Georges tower. I would definitely recommend St Georges tower to students who want a safe and friendly environment in Leicester.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a kind review. Best Wishes SGT Team
St George’s Tower is, without a doubt, the best student accommodation in Leicester, and I’ve rebooked for good reason. The atmosphere is unmatched. Jarod’s exceptional management, being both friendly and approachable, makes a real difference, and the maintenance team is always prompt and efficient. The security here is top-notch, providing great peace of mind. Its location is perfect, with easy access to amenities and transport links. The views from the tower and the spacious rooms add to the overall value, making it well worth the price. Based on the service alone, St George’s Tower deserves a solid five stars.
Thank you, :) We appreciate your kind review and we're delighted that you enjoying your stay at St George'sTower Best wishes SGT Team
This is my 2nd year staying at St. Georges Tower and I never had a regret moving in. I would definitely recommend this to anyone to stay at, with good value for money that includes your OWN kitchen and bathroom and a good amount of space. Staff is nice and friendly, with great security. Close location to Leicester Railway station and City Centre. Has an amazing view, and has a Common Room, Game Room, Study Room. A good walking distance to Leicester University and Brookfield Business School, but it is faster with Uber/Arriva Bus. Overall, I am grateful to find this accommodation, and would highly recommend it to any new/current student in Leicester. Top accommodation in Leicester! Kudos to Jarod!

I have been staying here for the past 10months and i cant even express through words the level of comfort staying here. There was no major or even minor inconveniences during my course of stay and everything went perfect. Great manager ( thanks to Jarod), the securities and maintenance team. I would highly recommend it to anyone who would like to stay in a single studio. Not forgetting to mention, the view from my room is the best part. Thankyou SGT ♥️
Thank you, Mehnaz. We appreciate your kind review and we're delighted that you enjoyed your stay.
As an international student, finding a place that feels like home is essential, and I have been fortunate enough to experience that since my first day here. Now in my third year at this accommodation, I can confidently say it has been an incredible experience. The management is outstanding, particularly the property manager, Jarod. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that students have all the facilities they need. His dedication to accommodating us is truly remarkable, making the entire process of living here seamless and worry-free. We only need to focus on paying the rent; everything else is taken care of for us, eliminating any unnecessary headaches. Jarod’s support and friendliness make a significant difference, and he is genuinely an incredible person. Being away from home in a different country can be challenging, but here, I always feel welcomed and at ease. The security desk staff are also very helpful, ensuring that the environment is safe and secure at all time

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a kind review. Best Wishes Jarod
I spent my final year of university at St George’s Tower, and I had such a great time. The location is absolutely perfect for both the University of Leicester and De Monfort University, and right on the edge of the city centre, making it perfect for shopping, eating, and entertainment. The building is well kept and there really is an effort to make students feel comfortable and at home. The staff are incredible, but a particular shout out to Lauren and Jarod for being fabulous familiar faces every day, and above all for making us feel safe and supported. The idea of living alone in a studio may seem daunting, but at St George’s Tower, no one’s really alone 😊
Dear Reviewer, Many thnaks for the review for St Georges Tower. I very much appreciate you taking the time and providing a detailed review of your stay and experience at St Georges Tower and thank you very much for recognising our friendly team. Best wishes, Lauren Assistant Manager
I made the right choice by choosing the accommodation. It has common room, study room, Gaming room and many more. Additionally, you get the outstanding support from the staff.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a plesent review :) Best Wishes Lauren Assistant Manager
The staff in the building is extremely helpful and kind. I felt home as soon as I arrived. Whenever I had a problem, I just sent an email and they tried to solve it within hours. The location is perfect, it is near to the city centre, shops, and also to the universities in the city. Social spaces are limited and sometimes hard to interact with others. Other than that it is a perfect student accommodation, I recommend it.

Great living experience, and friendly managers. Cleanliness is on point and most importantly, rooms are affordable and worth the price. It's a unique experience to live in the second tallest building in Leicester.

Hi Swappy, Thank you for the kind comments, we are please you enjoy living in the Tower :) Best Wishes Lauren
As a student living here for over a year, I can confidently say that it's one of the best student accommodations I've come across. From the moment I moved in, I felt welcomed and at home, thanks to Jarrod and Lauren, who are incredibly helpful and warm. One of the things I appreciate about the accommodation is the attention to detail that the managers put into creating a homely environment. The common areas are always clean and well-maintained, and there are plenty of spaces to relax and socialize with other residents. There's always somewhere to go when you want to unwind after a long day of studying. In terms of the living spaces themselves, I couldn't ask for more. My studio is modern and well-furnished, with everything I need to live comfortably. The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances, and the bathroom is spacious and clean. Plus, with 24-hour security, I always feel safe and secure.
The staff are lovely, the location's great, occasional events to meet the people who also live there, with free food and games (with prizes).

The communal areas, including the lounge, games area and study spaces were spacious, clean and conducive to both socializing and studying. The laundry facilities were convenient and readily available, saving me time and effort. The staff members were incredibly friendly, approachable and always ready to assist. They promptly addressed any queries or concerns, ensuring a hassle-free experience. The management team was highly organized and efficient, taking care of maintenance requests promptly and keeping the accommodation in excellent condition. The accommodation fostered a strong sense of community among the residents. Regular social events and activities were organized, allowing students to connect with one another and create lasting friendships. This aspect greatly enhanced my overall experience.
St. George's Tower is a lovely and secure accommodation with helpful and friendly staff. I love the location because it is central to everything.

My overall stay and experience with St George’s Tower Leicester has been nothing but amazing, for the price to have your own studio in the center of Leicester is definitely worth it. Amazing and dedicated 24/7 security on-site with friendly property managers. This made my stay in Leicester absolutely amazing. Staff are kind, friendly and super nice! It’s close to everything you need, supermarkets, restaurants and the train station. The price you pay for an all inclusive student accommodation with St George’s Tower is definitely very good! However, it doesn’t include laundry in the bills so you’ll have to pay for it. Despite that everything is well worth the value and St George’s Tower is definitely the place to stay if you’re coming to study in Leicester!
St. George's Tower in Leicester is an exceptional student accommodation that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I stepped foot into the building, I was impressed by the modern and sleek design. The staff greeted me warmly and were always available to assist with any queries or concerns. The rooms at St. George's Tower are spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed with ample storage and study space. The furniture and amenities provided were of high quality, making it a cozy and convenient living space. The communal areas, such as the lounge and study rooms, were well-maintained and provided a conducive environment for socializing and studying. One of the standout features of St. George's Tower is its excellent location. Situated in the heart of Leicester, it is within walking distance to the university, shops, and various entertainment options. This made it incredibly convenient for me to balance my academic and social life.
