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.
Read The Tannery Reviews
The Tannery in Leicester is a decent student accommodation with friendly, helpful staff and it’s located in close proximity to everything you need. I’m in a Silver 6 Share Flat. The rooms are a decent size featuring a small double bed, a large desk with 3 drawers and a pinboard + shelves above, a wardrobe with 3 integrated drawers, a decent amount of plugs, an electric temperature controlled radiator, and an en-suite with an alright sized shower, a mirrored cabinet for storage and an LED backlit mirror. The only downsides are that the plugs above the bed are on top of the shelf, I feel it would’ve made more sense to put them within the shelf but it’s not a major issue. The bathroom lights are on PIR sensors, which is great for energy consumption, but not so great if you’ve been in the shower for longer than 5 minutes… The kitchen living area is a generous size too with a good amount of storage for everyone. Only downside is that the hob switches off automatically after like 10mins…
I arrived in September and so far it has been fine. The space is spacious and very sociable.
Hemal,Kerry,Tom,Sam and Ella have been so friendly. Tge events have been amazing.
Tom and Hemal were very helpful . They helped me wiht parcel query .
Hemal was so helpful in rebooking my room! The facilities are lovely and the location is perfect. I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay as much as I am.
The facilities are amazing. Tom, Hemal, Ella, Sam and Kerry have been truly exceptional in their hospitality towards me. Id recommend this accommodation to everyone.

The staff are so lovely and so understanding
The staff are really accommodating. I felt finding somewhere to live for the academic year quite late and I called and me and my friend were able to be sorted with a flat, by opening up an unavailable flat for us.
lovely place and management are so welcoming and sweet
Staff are very supportive and kind when especially I was going through a hard time and location is perfect
in terms of location as a university of leicester student i’d opt for somewhere closer to campus however for dmu students this is a good location and city centre is not far
The Tannery, is a great accommodation and most likely the best in Leicester. Great location , facilities and staff; as well as very convenient as it’s a walking distance from DMU campus and we also have a corner shop right next to the building. I would highly recommend this accommodation to any first years looking for a place to stay during their studies as this is my 2nd year staying at this building
Great accommodation, aesthetically pleasing rooms. The staff at reception are great and if you’ve got any issues with any sort of maintenance it’s resolved quickly.
The accommodation is fabulous and the staff is really helpful
Very good accommodation, security and staff all very friendly. Modern, clean rooms and kitchens. Great value for money

Good so far, nice place to live
Best accommodation! Lovely staff!!
The accommodation is good and staff is also very supportive.
Best accommodation in Leicester.
Great atmosphere with engaging and exceptional staff members who are always there to accomodate
Samantha, Tom, Ella and Kerry are the greatest people ever any query they resolve it and really care about the people in and out the accommodation
Can’t complain, the rooms are nice but the only downside is that the heater turns off every 10-15 mins
Lovely staff, close to town centre and rooms are spacious and modern ❤️
I love staying here, it’s so safe and it’s so clean and everything is very modern, the staff are so so lovely and are willing to help at any time.
GREAT EXPERIENCE AT THE TANNERY, very social. made a lot of friends
It’s a really good place to stay, reception and security are so nice.
very cute and aesthetic , very friendly staff too !
Particularly excellent staff team, Sam and Tom especially. Very modern and well maintained building with all the facilities you need as a student, also appreciate the location as being by the city centre is so useful.
The common reviews about the staff here are true. Management and Day Staff are “nice” until they’re not. When you first arrive they’re nice until you have an enquiry/problem and then they quickly become very rude and snarky. Management here are also completely unprofessional, they will even stop responding to your emails and ignoring you and they will gossip about you amongst eachother. Be wary before being stuck in a contract here. Security are the loveliest people and always helpful. Also there’s always unnecessary charges added here on top of what you already pay. No social events ever happen here.
Good accommodation and nice receptionist
The accommodation is excellent with good amenities and Management. It feels like home here and I’m really glad that I found this place and booked it right away.
The property is fantastic and the indoor facilities are quite good whether it is gaming zone or gyming area overall its nice.
Its like 5 minutes from uni of and 2 from dmu and modern
Tannery is so beautiful and the room are nice
It have been an amazing experience.

Beautiful property, Staff make it well worth the money and make it feel like home, good distance from DMU. Tom is a real one :)
Thank you for your lovely review, The Tannery team take great pride in providing a positive experance to all students. We are so pleased you feel the building is great value for money. May your stay with us continue to feel like home.
So far, from Day of viewing to day of move in it’s been the best experience I’ve had with accommodation. I’ve enjoyed the freindly staff and the amazing hospitality in terms of generous spacious rooms and easy to use facilities in the kitchen and around the flat. It’s been an amazing time so far and it’s only just started. I cannot wait for the year ahead.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are really pleased to read you are happy with the building & The Tannery team. We woiuld agree The Tannery is an amazing building with some great social spaces. The team work really hard to ensure you enjoy you stay with us. We are looking forward to 2223 and making your stay amazing.
The staff are welcoming at first but soon became unwilling to help with serious issues. Did not investigate issues properly and became hostile and rude to students involved. Multiple parties took place within the courtyard, causing damage to communal areas, no action was taken about this. Basketball hoop installed caused noise complaints, again, nothing done about this. Radiator broke and wasn’t fixed for at least a month. Wi-Fi cut out for a month and wasn’t fixed with hast. Got locked in my room due to cheap door fittings and had to be cut out by security after almost 3 hours. Only fire evacuation test was done the whole year. Doors to building broke and didn’t lock properly at all, allowing random people to walk in. Communal areas were wrecked by students constantly and left uncleaned. Rooms are good value for money, and location is a good distance from city centre. Security staff are lovely.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are greatly disappointed to read you didnt have a great experance, please make contact with a member of the team so we can discuss further. Thank you for highlighting some off the issued you faced, we have addressed the noise created by the basketball hoop. We are a team work really hard to ensure all students are happy during their stay.
The location is very good but the building is very cheaply built. Fire guards broke a week into moving in and all had to be replaced. Loud parties happened in the courtyard and were never sorted and a basketball ring was installed so if you have a room on the inside of the building it’s all you will hear. All the keys randomly stopped working for the bin storage so people were just throwing their bins down the stairs and leaving it lying around in the courtyard. Unnecessary charges were made in order to keep parts of our deposits and the staff were unwilling to hear our sides of the story so had to accept the charges. Staff are nice but not willing to help in serious situations and quick to turn against you. Lifts break regularly as well as the heating and the WiFi broke for two months without any compensation being made to sort it out. No parking if you have a car and residents that parked their cars behind the accommodation had their windows smashed. Security is lovely though.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, We would love to discuss the issued you experanced. We as a team take great pride in making any students stay the best we can. Please make contact with a member of the team.
friendly staff and nice accommodation
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review of the building & the staff member, I will be sure to share your feedback.
From the day I arrived the staff were really welcoming, and made sure I felt settled straight away. The building is also a lot better than majority of accommodations and gives access to a nice game area, study room and a lot more. Residents living here are also easy to get along with. The whole experience living in the tannery is amazing, really made my university experience as a first year.

2 months ago Friendly and welcoming! I booked this accommodation last minute as everywhere else was sold out. At first, I was apprehensive as it’s a new building with no reviews but honestly could not find any faults. The staff are lovely and will go above and beyond to ensure all your needs are met. The rooms are nice with plenty of storage and the overall atmosphere of the building is very warm and welcoming, not to mention the additional social spaces such as the cinema and games room. By far the best student accommodation I’ve stayed in

The Tannery is honestly the best halls in Leicester! After living in university owned accommodation last year, I was really anxious about returning into halls again but the staff are so helpful and welcoming. Any issues you have, the staff will try there hardest to help you resolve them. Everyone that lives within the tannery are so friendly, and I can truly say I wouldn’t choose anywhere else to live. The rooms are amazing, a lot more spacious than you think.

Amazing location, 5 min walk from high cross which makes it good for meeting with friends and nights out. The rooms are modern and clean, the windows bring in so much natural light which makes it a lovely environment to be in. All the staff are very welcoming and are always there for anything you need or if you have any questions. I wouldn’t choose to live anywhere else and I’m excited to stay here again next year :)
