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 ā particularly international students ā 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 āshort stayā 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 youāll 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, youāll 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. Youāll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything youāll need.

I stayed in a studio mezzanine room at Leicester One, and it turned out just like the CGI pictures even though I was abit hesitant at first. Sonya, the manager, is incredibly helpful and always available whenever you need her. She truly goes above and beyond to ensure everyone is happy. The mezzanine room is very spacious, being able to seperate your work area from your bedroom is great and two TVs is dope! (Free laundry is great too, all my homies hate circuit) The location is great, with Granby Street being basically the main road and centre point of Leicester, providing easy access to everything you need. I never had a problem with the internet, which was always reliable and fast for playing PS5. Overall, I highly recommend Leicester One for its excellent facilities and the supportive environment created by Sonya.
I had an excellent experience at this accommodation! The accommodation manager is amazingāshe's incredibly helpful and kind, always putting her students first. The location is perfect, situated at a convenient distance from both universities and central to town, with plenty of food places nearby. The common room is fantastic and looks just like the CGI videos and picturesāan amazing place to relax. I also appreciate the smaller community feel, with only about 50 or 60 residents compared to the 150-200 in other accommodations. Overall, I would highly recommend this place!
I had the pleasure of staying at this student accommodation, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The place is managed by the wonderful Ms. Sonia, who truly goes above and beyond for her students. She is incredibly kind and always communicates effectively, ensuring that any concerns or needs are promptly addressed. The facilities are well-maintained, and the environment is both welcoming and supportive. It's clear that Ms. Sonia takes great pride in her work and genuinely cares about the well-being of her students. I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed place to stay.
good environment, staff is supportive x
Leicester one is an amazing place to live in it is sooo crazy how luxurious it looks and trust me it is worth the price. Lastly SONYAā¤ļø is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect location. Best service
Best thing about the building is the on site staff. Sonya is wonderful!
Flat is spotless. Brand new. Sonya who manages building is lovely, so accommodating and always around, canāt do enough to help you. Good location.
One of the best things about this accommodation is the personal touch that the manager, Sonya, brings to the table. She truly makes you feel like part of a family and is always there to help with any issues or concerns that may arise. She goes above and beyond to make sure that all of the students are comfortable and happy in their living space. Whenever there is a minor problem during my time here, Sonya has always handled them promptly and efficiently, making sure that everything is taken care of as quickly as possible. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the well-being of all of the students living here and treats each problem as if it were her own. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking to live in the center of town. There are plenty of food options right outside the door, making it easy to grab a quick bite. Overall, I have had a fantastic experience living here and I am grateful for the welcoming and supportive environment that Sonya has created!!
The place is in a very well location, I thing is one of the most elegant and well finished students accommodation also one of the best equipped, the chill room is very nice, you can study, watch a movie in the cinema, cooking with friends, there is free breakfast available, free laundry and Sonya the manager is very kind, the most helpful person Iāve known.
The location of the accommodation is perfect. City centre is pretty much at your doorstep, Lidl and Aldi are around the corner and UoL is a 20 minute walk at best. Thereās many places nearby to try and the bus stations are close if you want to explore further. The social spaces are great for studying and cooking together with your mates, and are often cleaned and kept tidy. Sonya, the property manager, is there often for any questions or issues to resolve and even just checking in to see how are studies are coming along which has honestly made my stay even more pleasant. The rooms themselves are very modern and beautiful. You canāt hear other rooms that you share a wall with and the windows do a great job with noise cancellation from outside. Iāve met loads of amazing personalities and overall itās a great place to stay during your time at Leicester!
Very nice living space, the staff are very friendly and welcoming especially Sonya that stays at the front desk
Honestly, I loved being one of the first people to stay at this accommodation. It was so beautiful, nicer than a hotel room stay forsure. I really think the location made everything more accessible and easier to adjust to especially as an International student. The Flat Manager Sonya was a saving grace because she was always helpful and ready to put a smile on my face. Any time I had any sort of issue or needed more help finding things in Leicester she was the first one to drop everything and make sure I got the help I needed. There was never a time that I called and she didn't answer. Compared to some of the other interactions I've seen with friends in their accommodations, it's crazy to see the lack of care or communication between their managers/front desks. Having to always wait or send emails to get the answers they needed, whereas Sonya was just a phone call away. Thank you so much Sonya and Leicester One for giving me a home away from home! 10/10 EXPERIENCE (:
The accommodation is really nice, the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The residence manager is really attentive and ensures comfortability in the accommodation + laundry is free which most accommodations donāt do.
Kudos to Sonya for making this place really wonderful, best accommodation in Leicester without any doubt.
I had the pleasure of staying at Leicester One Student Accommodation and couldn't be more satisfied. The facilities are top-notch, offering a modern, comfortable environment perfect for students. The rooms are spacious and well-furnished, balancing comfort and functionality. Communal areas, including study rooms and lounges, are well-maintained, fostering a strong sense of community, and regular cleaning ensures the place is spotless. One of Leicester One's standout features is its prime location on Granby Street. This central location is practical, being a short walk from both the University of Leicester and De Montfort University. The vibrant city center, with its shops and cafes, is right on your doorstep, and proximity to public transportation enhances convenience. The exceptional management, especially Sonya Pepa, the resident manager, is welcoming, proactive, and dedicated to residents' well-being.
An ideal location and the excellent property management makes it a wonderful accommodation.
Itās a nice accommodation in the city centre of Leicester.
Very good location and friendly staff. Making friends was really easy as we all shared the same spaces. Although the kitchen was very busy and made it hard to cook with other 3-5 people at the same time, I am happily satisfied.
