My room was fantastic: my bed was clean, the windows had a great view, and the shower was satisfactory. Staff were very happy to assist me with both moving my belongings and my mental wellbeing. I especially want to thank Simon at reception who was of great help when I got back from London to move to my new flat.

Is Lift facility available for easily shifting luggage on upper floors accommodation

Q
I'm so confused. I am seeing half and half reviews, half saying this place is amazing and well worth staying here, and the other half the complete opposite. I have booked to stay here in September, but am now dubious because of some of the insanely bad reviews I have read. I don't know which reviews to believe and whether this place is worth staying at or not!

Hi- The buidling had a ful lrefurbish during 2020/2021 so all kitchens, bedrooms and social space have been renovated any reviews prior to this may have been associated with how the building previosuly looked.
PLEASE FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE we had our whole flat trashed with a 30 year old couple living in our flat without our knowledge as reception tried to continuously deny anyone was living there, you can find my review below for more details.

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.

Really convenient and good distance from the University of Liverpool and Lidl as well as so many nice shops and takeaways like Tops Pizza. The thing that makes this accommodation especially good is the staff. Everyone, is absolutely lovely and always for a chat whether that be just before heading off to lectures or at 4am the middle of the night. I will truly miss living here!!

As a mature student that has stayed with other private student providers in Liverpool, I can honestly say Capital Gate has been the best yet. Aside from the location and the extensive studio apartment size, the standout has been the staff and customer service. Any issues have been resolved promptly - I can specifically remember my boiler issue being resolved within 20 minutes of reporting it. Fantastic service! I highly recommend this place, and wish I had found them sooner when moving to Liverpool.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate this valuable feedback! It’s wonderful to know you’re enjoying everything Capital Gate has to offer our residents. Many thanks – Student Roost
Decent room size, only problem I could rant about is the mattress protectors. I have about 7-8 friends in the accomodation, none of our mattress protectors are the right size. Barring that, everything else is smooth sailing.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're very sorry to hear your matress protectors are causing you and your friends problems. You can report this by visiting us at reception or at capital.gate@studentroost.co.uk and we will investiage the problems and see how we can resolve the issues. Thank you again for your review, we value all resident feedback. Many thanks - Student Roost
Overall, Capital gate has been a great place to stay. The only thing I can see being improved is perhaps creating more areas for student to hang out together outside and also if staff could update about maintenance waiting times more frequently. I'd also say that maybe adding some sort of soft seating in the kitchen could be good as it will encourage socialisation outside of peoples rooms.

very overpriced accommodation! the small room and en suite leave a lot to be desired, my room came without coat hooks, a working radiator and a broken blind. the reception team lost my packages a few times and only found them after i emailed half a dozen times. our kitchen sink has been broken since November, the maintenance team still has not fixed this, even after being reminded many times. the reception team seem to dislike helping out as there have been times i have been locked out and i have to ask for them to kindly let me in and they let out a big sigh and make it out as if i'm an inconvenience. would not recommend for students.

Rooms are much bigger than expected! Kitchen is very big too! Reception is a lovely cosy area which feels as though you’re in your living room at home. Could maybe do with a work space area for students doing assignments but apart from that I couldn’t fault the place!!!
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we are so pleased you’re enjoying your time living with us. We really appreciate the feedback! – Student Roost
The management and staff are very nice and helpful. I had two maintenance issues throughout my stay which got resolved within a week. The building is clean, however flat hygiene is up to the tenants, and unfortunately I didn’t have the best flatmates; they would not clean up after themselves, leave food outside and pile up trash bags. This issue did not get resolved, apart from a few emails that were sent out. There are not many social places, apart from the flat kitchen, and the reception lounge. They do hold however frequent events there that one could potentially socialise. The rent is pricey for Bronze rooms compared to other accommodations, however the accommodation is very close to UoL facilities.

Capital gate was not a pleasant experience, For starters to get anything repaired and maintained takes literal months if they do not forget. I have reported a broken wardrobe twice since the day i arrived and for the entire year it has not been fixed or even looked at. Roommates were unbelievably unhygienic and when reported multiple times, staff would not bother to do anything about it except send some emails to that person, but the antisocial behavior still continued. There was also a smell of cannabis outside every entrance and around the property as people have been smoking all around the property, making it an unwelcome experience for any guests staying over. Nearby Flats would often cause too much noise and at times burst into my flat to do pranks. And the kitchen equipment that was provided by the accommodation, such as a kettle, toaster and microwave were all either broken beyond repair or not working properly before i have evearrived, again staff did nothing to fix that. 1/10
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re very sorry to hear you’ve had the experiences which have negatively impacted your time at Capital Gate. We have a strict no tolerance policy when it comes to drug use and any time this is witnessed by team members all cases are dealt with. Please report any cases of marijuana use to reception immediately when you become aware of this happening and we will investigate immediately and arrange a meeting with the resident. We’re sorry to hear your maintenance issues have not been dealt with, this is very unusual as all cases that are reported are dealt with in a timely manner. All appliances have recently been PAT inspected and if a resident reports a fault are replaced if not fixable. Please report your outstanding issues to reception and we will have the issues identified and fixed for you. With regards to your flatmates, we would be more than happy to arrange a meeting to see how we can support you, and them, come to a place where you are all happy and comfortable in your living space. If you would like to discuss any of the matters you have raised further you can either visit us at reception or complete the Feedback and Complaints form on our website (www.studentroost.co.uk/feedback-and-complaints) and someone will reach out to you. Thank you again for your review, we value all resident feedback. Many thanks - Student Roost
Don’t stay here. As much as some of the team are very nice, it’s not a good place to live to say it’s quite an expensive accomodation. It’s the second time in two weeks that there has been no hot water for a shower and the team just say they’ll get it sorted the next day, which is ridiculous not being able to use the shower for a day. The rooms are nice but the kitchen has no sofa or Tv unlike most of my friends accomodations I have been to, there is just a bench to sit on, which means you’re unable to comfortably chill in the kitchen with flatmates. The “social area” is in the reception which makes it a poor place to socialise. Why would you want to go sit with friends when the staff could be on the phone or doing work in the same room? I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I’m sorry to hear there have been aspects to your stay at Capital Gate that have negatively impacted your experience. We apologise for the issues we’ve recently faced with the water system. We’ve been working around the clock to rectify those issues for our residents. Unfortunately, sometimes the timescales are outside of our control due to requiring third party services to fix the issues we’ve faced, however, our teams do our best to keep all residents updated as much as possible. Our team members are available 24/7 to answer any questions you may have and to provide updates on progress. Our shared kitchen areas are designed with communal dining in mind, which is why there are no couches or TVs. If you would like to discuss the matters you’ve raised with us I would encourage you to complete our Feedback and Complaints form, if you haven’t done so already, so a member of the team can get back to you. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review. We value all resident feedback. - Student Roost
Great place to live at for students! Special shout out to Lily, who always has a smile and cheerful greeting for us! :)
The maintenance speed for fixing things is always slow. The apartment's internet and washing machines are outsourced to other vendors. So When the internet goes down or the washing machine inexplicably swallows money, students have to contact the providers themselves to solve the issue, which the receptionist won't handle. The elevator has been out of service for three months. The service attitude is mediocre, storage space is very limited, the hallways are narrow, the environment is poor, and the staff have an impatient attitude towards students. In a word, this studentroost is poor value for money.
I've had some issues with my door lock and washroom right after I moved in, but they were resolved in a timely fashion so the rest of my stay has been pretty smooth sailing
Absolutely the Best student accomodation when it comes to the property placement as it is less than a 10 minute walk to the University and right next to the supermarket, the administration is top notch and every common space is well maintained and cleaned regularly Special thanks to Lily who's amazing at her job, she's very friendly and polite.
Lilly is amazing and always super friendly
I’ve had a great experience so far
Charlie and the rest of the team has made me feel so comfortable. I really enjoy coming down to collect my parcels and having a chat. They recommended me places that i’ve went to and were great. Honestky a lovely team that actually cares, makes you really feel as close to home as possible
So far I have had a good experience as the location is brilliant and the staff are great especially Charlie. She has made experience here very very good.
Overall great place to live- right next to the university and super nice helpful staff - Arthur and the blond lady
The staff were so kind and welcoming, especially Hannah and Jean who have organised a cute Christmas scavenger hunt. Really made us feel at home and in the holiday spirit.
Great location, near many amenities and to the University of Liverpool. Quiet and safe neighbourhood
Really nice environment. All spaces are kept clean and the reception stuff are super friendly, always available to help and the maintenance is quick to respond. Very close to university and the room and kitchen is great, spacious and modern.
I had a really great time living here! Very nice and friendly staff, close to University of Liverpool and overall a great experience living here!
Lovely experience staying at Capital Gate!
DO NOT STAY HERE! I returned from Christmas to find reception had booked a couple in that were 30 years old into our spare room (in a female only flat!) without letting any of us know, they trashed our kitchen using all our stuff, left the front door unlocked for hours at a time, and left used condoms in our hall. The flat upstairs to me had it worse with 5 people living out of 2 rooms, their kitchen had 10 bin bags left with rotting food, all their food had been stolen, and their kitchen ware was ruined. I came home to my door unlocked when it had been locked when I left, and reception tried to say it was definitely my fault, and a girl in the flat above found their door unlocked (when she had also left hers locked) with all her toilet roll stolen and toiletries used. They take no consideration into the welfare of the students living there, saying they can have men living in female only flats as it’s only a preference, even if the preference is for religious reasons. DO NOT BOOK
I have really enjoyed my time here at capital gate, the staff are all really sweet and helpful because during my time here I have really struggled with my mental health and all the staff have really taken care of me and made sure that I have been okay. I would really recommend staying here its got an amazing atmosphere and social space. 10\10 from me
10/10! Thank you, we are here to support 24/7 so happy you have enjoyed your stay here.
Love the place love the team very good location would recommend x
Thank you for choosing us for your home the past year!
Very close to the University and city centre! Cozy and tidy social space to chill out or study with free snacks and drinks majority of the time. Staff are amazing and helpful all the time.
Thank you very much for the lovely review :)
Really helpful staff/team!!!!!
Thank you for taking teh time to leave us a review!
Really helpful and lovely chilled out staff. Great location for UoL and would recommend for first years coming to Liverpool instead of the overpriced uni accommodation
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a wonderful review! Our prices include all your energy and wifi so you dont need to worry about a cap or extra bills at the ends of the tenancy :)
My experience so far at Capital Gate has been great. The staff are super welcoming and friendly are happy to help. I haven’t experienced any issues whilst at the sight but I’m sure that the staff would be more than helpful and diligent. Particular mention to Mark, who works the night shift. He is very alert and focused whilst remaining welcoming. it makes the place feel much more secure and safe at night and I know that he would be willing to help all the students.
Thank you for your review, we're really happy you're having a great experience at Capital Gate! Mark is one of our Night Owls, part of out 24/7/365 on-site staffing team - we're proud to have him and we're happy you are too!
Capital Gate is a great property! The location is great as a nursing student and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are really nice and modern too.
Thank you for your kind words! We have a fantastic location, close to all University campuses and the Royal Liverpool Hospital, with 24/7/365 on site customer service. We're happy you love our new rooms :)
The place is excellent in term of location and management. My special thanks to Faye Wood who has helped me throughout my stay.
Thank you for your wonderful review! Faye, one of our CSAs, is always happy to help you before, during and after your stay with us. You'll see her and the team regularly around site as part of our 24/7/365 on site staffing team :)
Literally do not bother with this accommodation. If you go on trustpilot you can see the real reviews instead of the ones coaxed out of international students by capital gate, which is the only way they’ve managed to stay afloat to this date. Everything about this place is a shambles, the flat I lived in wasn’t even cleaned before we moved in so my flatmates mum had to do it herself. Everything was used/broken and there are rats near the bins. Even worse they want us to pay rent through a pandemic because the circumstance apparently isn’t ‘extenuating’ enough. Anyone who works here or feeds them good reviews should be ashamed of themselves because you are literally helping more students be scammed into staying in THE most depressing place I’ve ever been in my life :)
Thank you for your review, we're sorry to hear that you feel this way. We're unsure as to what your review refers to, as we have been refurbishing our building since 2020, we have not had residents on site whilst we have been making our building just like new for our 2021/22 tenants. With regards to rent payments, we wrote out to all 18,000 of our residents on 25 March 2020 to offer them this opportunity to be released from their contracts early if they had moved home or planned to do so. We also posted details on our website and social media accounts, and our policy was also reported in regional and national media and shared by a number of universities. We were one of the first to do this in the industry and we were the industry leader in giving our residents enough time to apply for this scheme. Please feel free to stop by to check out our refurbished Capital Gate! Alternatively, if you wish to discuss this further, we would appreciate you send an email to capital.gate@studentroost.co.uk :) Thanks! Capital Gate
AWFUL. During first year I decided to stay here due to the price being cheap. It is cheap for a reason. It’s situated in a really bad area, I’ve seen heroin users leave needles by the front gate, I’ve witnessed arson just outside the flats from my front room, I’ve been approached by prostitutes just outside the accommodation, and alcoholics routinely wait outside the back gates which is intimidating. The actual company is also dreadful. I returned after covid to find silverfish bugs in my room and spent lots of money cleaning my things. They claim there was not any signs of bugs though so never got any compensation. After quarantine I returned back to flat to find all the stuff in my kitchen STOLEN. Capital gate gave me a voucher of £50 which was not enough to cover the £150+ loss. The stuff in my kitchen was stolen by random people they let move into our flat without telling us. The biggest positive of this place is the front desk staff, Faye in particular.
We are really sorry to read your review as we try to provide all of our residents with the best experience possible. Because of the seriousness of the issues you’ve raised, we’d urge you to contact the team at capital.gate@studentroost.co.uk so that we can look into your concerns in more detail. Kind regards, Capital Gate
The location is perfect. It’s so close to 4 big supermarkets and the uni campus. The staff here are so nice! I feel safe and welcome here.
Thank you for your review! I will pass on your kind words to the staff! We are in a perfect location, very close to university campuses, supermarkets, restaurants and transport links :)
Perfect place to live . Really close to uni and to the city centre and with everything that we need to have a wonderful experience . People are always ready to help you ( especially Faye that helped me a lot , not only during the year but also during quarantine time always checking if I was fine and if I needed something, so , for her , a big thank you ) . Good rooms , with enough space and a really nice study desk . Big kitchen with all the home appliances that we need ( microwave , toaster , kettle , ... ) . I really recommend Capital Gate to live and to have a perfect experience here at Liverpool . Definitely , I made a good choice when I decided living here 😁
Thank you for your wonderful review! We really enjoyed you staying with us at Capital Gate and are overjoyed that you had a perfect experience! I will pass on your kind words to all of the staff. As ever, you're always welcome back whenever you're in Liverpool :D
Quite a convenient place to live , perfect attitude at the reception stuff ,really happy experience.
Thank you for your review! :) We're really happy you've had a really happy experience!
All staffs are nice, and the house is nearly my working building. live here is very easy.
Thank you for your review and you kind words about our staff! :) We're in a great location - close to campus, shops, grocery stores and restaurants!
Couldn't find accommodation with better location. The staff were always friendly special mention Faye who was amazing with nothing being to big a problem to help with
Covid-19: We got half of the rent taking of for that instalment
Thank you for your review, and your kind words about Faye and our staff! :) We're happy that you had a great experience.
I stayed at capital gate my first year and its was perfect. I don't think theres any other accommodation with a better location. The staff were always friendly, special mention Fay who was always amazing with nothing being to much of an ask.
Covid-19: During the outbreak they were willing to cut the last portion of the bill in half
Thank you for your review! :) We're happy to hear you had a great experience.
The location is what made me choose Capital Gate in the first place, at the back of Lidl and 5 mins from the Harold Cohen Library. The silver rooms are a good size and the kitchens are plenty big enough for all your friends. The absolute only downside of the place is the price, it can be expensive compared to student houses but you get a lot for what you pay. Don't bother living in uni halls, here is cheaper and far better. The staff are fantastic, especially Faye and Bree who always brought a smile to my face whenever I wandered in. I've lived here 2 years and I'm going to miss it.
Thank you for your review! We're in a great location, right next to campus, shops and restaurants! We're so glad to hear your feedback - our staff are always available 24/7/365 to help you with anything you require :) We'll miss you too - thank you for living with us :)
Stan is very kind . he helped me print out document today. That is very helpful, since Uni is closed from friday the reception became my only way to access printer. Thanks to Mr. Stan I get my very important file printed!
Thank you for your review! We're so happy that Stan was able to help you out today :)
Stan is a very nice person and highly recommended!Very friendly and helpful!
We agree, Stan is great isn't he!
DO NOT STAY HERE! Student Roost operates solely for profit and do not care about their occupants. The staff on the front desk are lovely but the business as a whole is NOT to be trusted; do not give this greedy company your money! The facilities are dirty, there’s used needles outside the gate, the gates were mostly broken, lights always broke, rubbish washing machines and dryers. Even in the midst of a global pandemic and university closing, they still want all of your money even if you move out. NO compassion whatsoever. When I moved in there was mould all over my bathroom and the paint had completely chipped off the wall, with the toilet seat hanging off also. Just not at all worth it, much much nicer accommodations out there.
Thank you for leaving your review. I am very sorry for your experience. We would really like to talk to you to discuss this further. We were very disappointed to read your comments about the safety outside our building and the standards of the facilities, as we want to ensure that everyone who lives with us has a safe and comfortable experience. Regarding your point about cancellations, these are incredibly challenging times for everyone. We need to keep our properties open and safely staffed for people who are not able to, or do not want to live elsewhere and are adhering to the advice given to our industry by universities to keep business as normal during these unprecedented times. However, we do understand why you have chosen to move out of your accommodation to study online, and also the difficulties this may cause. We are always here to talk, and I would urge you to contact us to discuss the issues you have raised. You can email us at capital.gate@studentroost.co.uk or call 0151 707 6449
I love this flat and the cute staff here. Everyone is friendly, I recommend to live here.
Thank you for your review! We're so happy you love your flat! Our staff are always available 24/7/365 to help you with anything you require :)
Awful, nothing works! Kitchen cupboard hanging off, second freezer doesn’t work, vacuum cleaner doesn’t work, missing shelves in bathroom, communal areas of the flat corridors are not cleaned (as initially promised).
We're sorry that you feel this way :( Could you please email capital.gate@studentroost.co.uk with more information so that we can investigate and fix these issues for you? Thanks, Capital Gate
The accommodation is accessible to all my needs. The staff Faye and Bree are receptive and friendly . Amazing location too
Thank you for your review! We're in a great location, right next to campus, shops and restaurants! Our staff are always available 24/7/365 to help you with anything you require :)
D****** accomodation, dodgey plumbing, had to live in unsafe conditions for over month, terrible maintenance team and bed/ kitchen equiptment. Save your money for somewhere that actually checks the room conditions and cleans up. Only pro is that most desk staff are super nice and caring.
We're sorry that you feel this way. Could you please email capital.gate@studentroost.co.uk with more information so that we can investigate these issues? Thanks, Capital Gate.
I've stayed here for 2 year and it has been great.Managment has changed and i like them better then alex as he was always trying to get me to play ping pong. capital gate is very close to me uni and i think it is a reallt great value for money
Thank you for your review and kind words! Our Management team, Kelly and Jake, are always available for a chat :)
Capital gate is close to my uni so the location is ideal.staff has asked me to rebook by room but i wont bc the man with the white hair scares me.the daytime staff make me feel safe and they are really great people,it sad that they work here.
Thank you for your review. If you ever wish to discuss your concerns further, please feel free to email capital.gate@studentroost.co.uk with information. Our location is great - very close to university campuses, shops and restaurants :)

Thank you for your review! If you want to refer-a-friend to stay with us, you earn a £150 voucher per referral!
too dirty ，a pizza shop and rubbish bin down stairs outside window great location near school
We are sorry that you feel this way. Our maintenance team work around our site to keep the area clean. Our location is perfect, close to campus and shops/restaurants :)
I have enjoyed my time at Capital Gate but there are definitely things that could be improved. There is no common room, just a table tennis in reception which makes it hard to meet people from other flats. However the staff are lovely and the location is ideal for people attending Uni of Liverpool.
Thank you for your review, we're glad you're enjoying your time with us! Thank you also for your suggestions; we are currently working hard behind the scenes on a plan for our common area, all we can say for now is watch this space! Our staff are always available for all students and our location is great! :)
1 start because maintenance takes MONTHS to fix.
We're sorry that you feel this way. If you wish to give us more information about this issue in confidence or raise a formal complaint, please email: capital.gate@studentroost.co.uk - thank you.
Please clean our kitchen once a week, ok? You promise to clean but nobody comes here for cleanning
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of your kitchen is the responsibility of yourself and your flatmates. If you would like some tips on cleaning, please feel free to contact Reception who will always be happy to help.
Had some stressed with room mates but on the whole the staff have been welcoming and happy to help. Always have small events happening.
Thank you for your review - we're glad that you feel welcome here at your Roost - if you ever need to chat to someone, please come to Reception or you can email us in confidence: capital.gate@studentroost.co.uk And if you have any suggestions for events, please let us know! We are always open to suggestions :)
The girl with tattoo is always nice to me and so is the girl with the glasses.i like my stay here but I wish they would bring kitchen cleans back as ours isn't clean.but Jack is nice
Thank you for your review! Bree (with the tattoo) and Faye (with the glasses) are two of our wonderful Customer Service Advisors, who are always here to help you with any questions and queries you may have. You'll usually find them at the front desk in Reception or walking around our site! Jake, our Assistant Operations Manager, is always available for a chat should you have any issues :)
I have stayed here for 2 years and I really have liked it here, its close to my uni so I don't have to pay for public transport and town is only 5 minute walk. My silver room is so spacious
Thank you for your review and for staying with us! We are glad you are enjoying your room :) - all of our rooms here at Capital Gate are en-suite and will have double beds for 2020/21!
The staff keep harassing me to rebook when I don’t want to. Won’t rebook bc the room is not nice and it’s not a value for money here. They say they will make beds bigger for sep 20 but that won’t make me rebook. Better places round Liverpool
We're sorry that you feel this way - our staff do not aim to harass anyone. Here at Capital Gate, all of our beds will be double sized for 2020/21, we have a perfect location within walking distance to campus, restaurants and local shops - no need to worry about transport!
Very close to the dental school. They don't do kitchen cleans here but they do collect your parcels for you.
Thank you for your feedback - we are indeed very close to the dental school! Our friendly front of house staff receive your parcels for you, sign for them and safely store your parcels securely until you find the time to collect your items, 24/7/365!
Our maintenance seems to be getting fixed alot more quicker with the new guy job he seems to be alot more proffesonial and knows what he's doing not like the old guy he came across abit shady.
Thank you for your review. Our caretaker Joe, along with our maintanence team, are always available to fix anything!
the wifi is good, sucks that they do fire drills when your sleeping. its cheap and close to uni but thats about it
Thank you for your feedback. Fire Drills are a legal requirement to take place. It such an important task to complete to ensure that you and everyone else in the building know what to do in event of an actual fire. We do not apologise for making sure our residents are safe and informed.
I think capital gate could be better if they did more things to the bedrooms. i like this its close to my uni and that jake is very nice
Thank you, Jake is our Assistant Operations Manager and makes sure everyone here enjoys their stay. The rooms are for you to make your own, we offer a spacious work desk with chair, drawrers, wardrobe, mirror and ensuite (plus under bed storage). All our Bronze rooms are being upgraded to Small Doubles for September 2020. :)
Capital gate is really close to the city and lidl is right behind the building so don't have to walk far for milk. Bri is nice and she always smiles
Alot of our residents stay with us because of how close we are to excellent amenites and less than a 5 minute walk to UOL campus. Briyarna is ACE and always welcoming.
Decent, not the best but it's cheap- you get what you pay for I guess
Our Location and spacious rooms are what residents enjoy most, we have also been voted one of the best accommmodations for social experience :)
Capital gate is okay. It's close to my uni but it seems to take long time for heaters to be fixed. 2 people in my flat sont have working heaters since October. Stan promised me pizza but never got it so don't believe him if he says he buy you pizza, not true
If you have never used the type of heaters before it can be a little tricky to understand, however Joe our caretaker works very quickly across the site. if you are having same issue please email capital.gate@studentroost.co.uk.
Good location to Uni. Not much of a social space but there is a place to play ping pong and please ps4. Cool that you can live with friends but maintenance is very slow. But recepition is nice
Ping Pong & ps4 is very popular, we always have events on throughout the month such as herb planting, our recent halloween duck apple and treats.
Without doubt capital gate is one of the best accommodations to stay! Upon arrival I was warmly welcomed by staff members here, extremely,ely friendly. The location is best for liverpool and limo students, everyone very close and easy to access.
Thank you! Location is excellent for all students.
I think it's such good value for money and I really enjoy the social aspect of living here. The location couldn't be better!
We are really happy you enjoy the social aspect! Keep an eye out for more excting events.
Definitely a good place to stay first year. Security guards and maintenance are very friendly and helpful.
Its a great place to stay for all years due to the location and our 24/7 service. :)
Recepition staff are very nice
Thank you for your review! Our Reception staff are always friendly and happy to help, 24/7 :)
its a good accommodation to live. the location is good and near to school. there also lidl and Chinese supermarket around.
Thank you for the review! We are in an excellent location, very close to campus and supermarkets like Lidl, Tesco, Home Bargains and Sida Chinese Supermarket plus much more. We are also very close to food outlets like Domino's, Subway, Pizza Hut, Greggs and Starbucks, to name a few :)

Stan and Darnell are our Nightowls who will be here throughout the evening and early hours for all your needs :) We are super close to UOL and shops. Thanks for the review!
A review for Stan and Darnell, very helpful and kind and quick to respond to issues. Easy to say I found it much easier to settle in to University life with their support
We are so happy to hear we have helped you settle in! We are always here 24/7
Stan and Darnell are legends who gave us sweets. Very happy with the staff
Who does not love sweeties! Rememeber to keep an eye on our social media pages for all our events :)
The location is very nice for nearing the several supermarkets, and is also convenient to take the course in university of liverpool. The staff is so nice and look after us so well! Miss u all so much!
What a lovely review, we are in a great location and that is why so many book with us!
Rob is a really nice guy. He fixed my toilet and made me laugh. Faye and Bri are nice people, they always smile. Capital Gate is close to Uni of Liverpool and Lidl is also very close.
Service with a smile always!
The staff are amazing and stans a great guy.
Thank you for your review and kind words, Stan is a star â
Very poor management since Alex left...

Stan is a very helpful receptionist, has helped us on number of occasions with issues with keys when we have locked ourselves out. He is always a pleasure to see around and comforting at night.

Stan the security man has helped us multiple times now and he’s a lovely to have round the site
Thank you for the review!
Capital gate is a perfect location for Uni of Liverpool students. In addition I would say the security is great, always leaving tenants as if they are in a safe secure place.
Our location is one of the main reasons our residents decide to live with us :) The main campus is less than a five minute walk, we have Lidl, Home Bargain, Tesco, cafes and many more amenities within walking distance.
Great accommodation and the security team were really helpful especially Stan who was a really pleasant man
Thank you for the review.
The place is very good environment and convenient as many shops around, and really close to The Uni. The receptionists are so helpful and considered.
Thank you, our front of house team Faye, Briyarna and Darnell are here to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
The old man on reception take very long not good customer service from him he makes me feel uncomfortable
We do not like to rush our residents and every team member wants to make sure that their service to our residents is the best it can be.
Stan’s very helpful and great customer service
Thank you, we recieve many emails and reviews on Stan's wonderful service to our residents.
Stan helps me a lot of ，he opened the door for me，and check some security.

We think this also :D We are really close to all schools.
The manager Kelly and reception staff Faye & Bree are awesome! Friendly, kind, they always ask you about your day, about your time in Capital and if there's any problem they will fix it soon. The place is at a stone's throw from the campus and 10 min from town, cosy kitchen and fully equipped rooms. I really have spent a good time this year. Gonna miss you guys!
Thank you! We are really pleased you have enjoyed your stay here and we will miss you too!

Really nice to hear from our residents guests that they also are feeling secure and welcome :D

Great stay here the people are nice
So please you have enjoyed your time here at Capital Gate.
Capital gate is near to the campus and is worth to stay there
We are really close to the campus, only a short walk with lots of stores and cafes along the way. The Royal hospital is only a few mintues walk also.
Everything is ok except that sometimes the bell for fire will ring for a long time.
Thank you for the review, the fire alarm is there for you, all the residents and teams safety.
The elevator in block e is awful ,it breake n regularly
We are sorry that you experienced this, the lifts have all been serviced and are in working order. There was a few issues earlier this year that took some time to resolve. We do have staircases incase of no lift.
Lovely environment and supporting team but the price increased for next year
Thank you for the review, prices have changed slightly, however we offer fantastic early bird and rebooker discounts, some students have recieved a good amount of money off their rent. We also have a refer a friend scheme and for every friend you refer to us who books you will recieve at £150 Amazon voucher :) Please visit www.studentroost.co.uk for more information.
If there is something wrong in room,maybe manager should fix it as soon as possible.
We are sorry you had an issue, we have an on site caretaker who tries to fix/resolve any issues you may have, sometimes it may be a job that we need a specialist for, however most problems are fixed in the correct and legal timescale.
Amazing staff and nice environment
Thank you :)
Hi all! I am currently living here and this place is amazing! very close to the university city campus, the rooms are cosy and the staff is super nice, friendly and very committed with their job and responsibilities. I truly recommend to stay in this accommodation!
Thank you for such a wonderful review.
Great place to live! Cant wait to stay again next year
So glad you decided to stay here with us for your next year. We offer fantastic deals for our re-bookers.
Capital Gate is so close to Liverpool University which is fab for me because I don't like walking :) The staff are really nice and there is always something going on in the Social Space through the week.
Rats, maggots, dirty. That's all you need to know. Management is awful at responding to anything wrong, missed cleaning our flat, and when my delightful flatmates left a maggot problem, refused to clean it. Absolutely disgusting, never stay here.
We are so sorry you experienced all of this, We now have a new team in place from managment to front of house, who are very experienced. Alot has changed and we are pleased to see that improvements have been made.
As my experience as a student at Liverpool for 4 years this by far is the worst place I lived. Though its location is ideal, crawl out of bed and get to your lecture in 5 minutes. Value for money is terrible there are by far better places to stay at. Hope you have a better experience in your first year good luck.
We are sorry that you have had this expeirence back in 2016. Student Roost are now the owners of Capital Gate since 2017 and we have made vast improvments with new team members. We do hope you will visit one day to see how much it has changed.
Too expensive, area okay but felt unsafe first few weeks as electronic gate had broken and drunks were drinking on our wall. Actually saw needles around the area too. We had no cleaners, and the main issue was no reclying bins! The washing and drying facilities were too expensive for what they were too. However, management, reception and maintenance were always on form.
Thank you for sharing your review. Student Roost are now the owners of Capital Gate, we have a 24/7 service and CCTV. The area at the back of the property has improved vastly. We have housekeepers who clan the communal area and blocks. Our bins are collected and recyled at the plant.
No security, my room was broken into and the main gates broken into multiple times. cleaners are awful and do not clean, they bang on your bedroom door at 9am until you take your bins out. reception staff no help if there's an issue, only good thing is repairs are done quickly.
We are sorry you experienced this with the previous owners. Student Roost now own and manage Captal Gate. We have a 24/7 service, CCTV and house keepers are here helping keep the building clean and fresh for all our residents. We have a new team in place also who are recieving lots of compliments for their service and work.
Really noisy, regardless of the day, time of day, or time of year (excluding summer as I am leaving early may). If I called security they took almost 20 mins to get to where the noise was coming from, by which time the noise had stopped, meaning I had a knock on my door from security at 3am asking why I called. The cleaner we originally had refused to clean the side because their were two pieces of pieces of paper there 'obstructing'. The second cleaner seemed to roughly touch the hob and mob (not sweep) the floor, leaving damp bits of food and dirt all over the floor. Our current cleaner is slightly better though the cleaner comes less than every fortnight which is what it's supposed to be. The back gate has always been dodgy, often not working anyway, and in the rain the fobs to get in don't work at all so we have to go all the way around the building.
We are sorry you experienced this with the previosu owners of Capital Gate. Student Roost are the new owners and managers of Capital Gate and we can assure you there are lots of improvements. All gates are secure and in working order,
