There will be enough cupboard and fridge space for the amount of students in your flat.
It can be minimal, in my experience it was good because we only had 4 people and it was perfect. But I imagine 6 in a flat would be tough!

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.

Experience has been well over the course of my stay at Marybone one. It is great value for money and the staff are always helpful. The only thing that lets them down is that the lift is constantly out of order and you can get stuck in it from time to time for a few minutes.
when it comes to cleaning, the flat mates are not helping each other while cleaning so when a flat having 6 people if 4 are not interested to clean the kitchen and toilets but they will use when cleaned by other 2 obviously the other 2 persons will also start to use the same without cleaning I think this needs to be checked monthly there should be time table in every flat and each person name should be there so every month one person has to clean all the flat and sign over the time table and this has to be monitored by the staff each month on a particular day This can be helpful to maintain a clean environment. if there is a strict maintenance then everyone will make sure to make their flats cleanly
Living at Marybone 1 has been an incredible experience! The location is amazing just a short walk to LJMU and the city center, making life so convenient. The facilities are well-maintained, with clean and spacious rooms that provide the perfect study environment. The on-site gym is a great bonus, and the common areas create a friendly and social atmosphere. The staff are always helpful, ensuring a safe and comfortable stay. For students looking for affordable yet quality accommodation in Liverpool, Marybone 1 is a very good choice.
Igs been greqt made good friends etc.
Very good place to start your international student life
I had a fantastic stay at this accommodation! The place is great, and what truly made my experience exceptional was the staff. They were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout my entire stay. For example, when I realized I had chosen the wrong room, they were more than happy to assist me with the change, despite it being my mistake. They handled everything with a smile and ensured I felt comfortable with the new room. Additionally, I had a couple of issues during my stay: the light in my room wasn't working, and the shower had a problem. I reported both issues, and I was impressed that they were resolved the very same day. The maintenance team was quick and efficient, making sure everything was up and running smoothly. Overall, the staff's commitment to guest satisfaction made my stay truly enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-catered experience!
Evrything is good. The staff is helpful and i really like the student community in here. One thing lacking is the security. My bike was stolen from inside the accommodation.
I am sorry to hear this. We do have insurance for belongings and an email was sent at the start of the year regarding adding your bike to this. If you need help looking into this please visit the reception and a member of staff will provide further info.
Been really good exactly what I was expecting.
Value for money is amazing especially with the included gym. Super close to the ljmu city campus as well which is great. Friendly staff too
Good value for money and spacious social spaces.
Best accommodation in liverpool
For the price of £90 per week it's decent it's got a common area where we have the table football, table tennis and can play pool. Down side is the equipment is quite worn out, this is the case mostly in the pool equipment as the cues are abit bent or missing the cushion at the top which can really make it difficult to play but doable. The one thing I'll say living in marybone is that we do get quite a lot of issues, Internet down, had power outages for my flat area and area lift stop working a few times. For a £90 a week it's understandable I expected some hiccups here and there and say living here in marybone is quite nice. It's close to my main uni location, near to the library got shops that are very close and got the shopping area that is like a 5-10 min walk that is pretty close so it's very convenient. Overall honestly I do like living in marybone, it's not that bad, can be very cheap depending on the room you're getting at the same time I have had better experiences.
I go to school in Chester and sometimes I get back very late the door is always open and there’s always someone there to help the security is stellar and the staff are so helpful. It feels like home.
As an international student, finding the right accommodation was a top priority for me, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! From the moment I moved in, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The facilities are clean, modern, and well-maintained, making it easy to settle in. The staff is incredibly friendly and always willing to help with any concerns, making the transition to a new country much smoother. The location is also fantastic—close to public transport, supermarkets, and my university, which has been super convenient. One of the best parts is the community atmosphere. I’ve met so many amazing people from different backgrounds, making it feel like a home away from home. The common areas and social events create a great opportunity to make friends and feel connected.

Property was great value for money. Bathrooms were clean and facilities were okay. Beds in rooms were not very comfortable but reasonable, room spacious. Was great to have a sink and mirror in each room as well as a wardrobe and cupboard space. Upon arrival, kitchen space was unclean. Maintenance could be improved, lifts are often faulty and sometimes take a while before repairs.
Living in Marybone 1 has been a great experience so far. The accommodation is well-located, making it easy to get around Liverpool and access the university. The rooms are decent in size, perfect for those who's looking for a decent flat in a reasonable budget. The shared kitchen is spacious and a good place to socialise with flatmates. The staff are friendly and responsive whenever there’s an issue. Security is also well-managed, which makes the place feel safe. It’s a comfortable and convenient place to live as a student, and I’ve had a positive experience here. I have already recommended my friends too.
I had a wonderful experience staying at this accommodation. The space was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a cozy and peaceful atmosphere. The location was convenient, with easy access to essential facilities and public transport. The management was friendly and responsive, always ensuring a smooth and hassle-free stay. The amenities provided were excellent, making it feel like a home away from home. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay
I moved into my flat with my friends in September, we’ve all loved living here. The social spaces are really good offering lots to do, our flat is big and has everything we need, maintenance are always quick to help and are lovely just like the reception staff. If there has ever a problem the staff have been quick to help and resolve the issue.
Thank you for your review :)
Been living in Marybone for the past 2 years and all I can say it that, value for money is amazing. Everyone is very nice and it has been a pleasure living here.
I’ve really enjoyed my stay at Sanctuary students and have even rebooked for next year. I’d say the only problem I have is with the lifts, as they’re not always working when you need it after shopping. Sometimes also the WiFi disconnects but it’s only for a minute or two. Overall I really enjoyed my stay here as it is good value for money.
It is wonderful acommodation for money.
Thank you!
I really like marybone accomodation, it is well organised and the people who work there are very nice. I will definitely choose this accomodation for next year
Good accom, very worth it for the money
Amazing place to live! Absolutely outstanding
Great place to live for the money, but many issues with WiFi and internet, and silverfish infestation in the lower floors which hasn't been resolved the entire year so far and lift keeps breaking. But as said before for the cost it's reasonable.
thank you for your review - if you are still having issues please contact reception or marybone@sanctuary.co.uk and someone will be happy to help
I’ve had great experience living in marybone. I have met some great friends and the accommodation is in a great location
Thank you for your review :)
The staff in Marybone should be promoted! Or at least get a a raise. I had problems with an agency and I was supposed to be moving out of Marybone to go live in a different place but there were lots of problems with the agency and I couldn’t get the room and Marybone staff especially Clare were Amazing! They helped me as much as possible and they extended my stay for a short period even though they were fully booked to help me sort out my situation. That is truly incredible and if the administration of sanctuary students is ready this GIVE MARYBONE STAFF A PROMOTION OR RAISE! They deserve it. Aside from this story Marybone is such a nice and cheap place to live in and it’s in the heart of Liverpool making it accessible to many attractions and campuses. So I recommend it 100%
Thank you for your lovely review, I have passed this on to the team :)
I really loved my stay in Marybone as it was very easy to reach to all the place,( city centre, queens square bus station and moorfields station)
Thank you for your review :)
My accommodation was perfect due to it being a 5 minute walk to university each day and opposite the library it made things much easier for me. Also the fact that it is already in city centre was great as a 10 minute walk didn’t even feel that long when walking to town.
Thank you
Only issue with marybone one is in three of the blocks is accessed by stairs only and the lifts in the blocks also tend to be broke for days at a time
We are sorry to here about these issues, we will continue to work hard to ensure repairs are completed in a timely manner.
Great so far , hope it stays like this or gets better.
Thanks for your review
i have applied for the marybone student accommodation and from that moment to till i come to the accommodation, an agent helped me and guided throughout the process. in accommodation area, they have ideally made flats and reception is providing valuable information about everything and lecture hall and ground floor recreation areas are very useful for social with others.
It’s very good. Close to library, close to shopping centre, parks, docks, university and close to the train station
I like the accommodation, its a little far from my classes but its still a good location
Great! thank you for your review
It has been a very good experience, from part 2 months. All staff members are very good and addresses the problems very well
It’s not bad, But it could be a lot better. Especially with some of the staffs.
It is a cheap rent so it isn’t anything special. I wish I could afford an en-suite because my roommates are disgusting but that isn’t the accommodation’s fault. There is a free gym but some equipment is broken. There is a lot of construction work happening so there is a lot of noise when I’m trying to study. The staff do what they can for other disturbances and help when you ask
Love the social rooms in Marybone 1, and the feeling of being surrounded by fellow students and international student all wanting to get to know people. I like that the gym is across the road, wouldn’t be working out if not!
Accommodation is value for money. Accessible to all near by city Centre locations. Can be more neat and clean .
Good affordable accommodation in the city centre. I like it here, I have no problems. Can be loud from others partying though.
I am having great experience so far.
My experience so far in this accommodation has been a pleasant one. I do really enjoy my stay, and moreover everyone including the staffs and tenants are so welcoming. Kudos to the Management!
So far I am really enjoying my stay at Marybone. I got lucky with my flatmates and we all get along and do regular activities together. The facilities here are amazing considering how much I am paying. That and how close we are to everything from big shops, the town center and my uni is just a 5 minute walk away! I would definitely recommend to friends.
The Best Accommodation deal in Liverpool I can say
not bad for 85p for a week good social environment
It’s been liveable but had some issues
They can be alot better..........
Its a nice place but sometimes there's noise at night and also there should be more social events and feasts.
Really good flat and room although walls and windows can be thin which means can be woken up at 4-5 from people coming back or in courtyard
I’ve been in marybone for 3 years now, staff are so welcoming and make you feel at home, they are prompt to sort any issues that may occur, Gillian the receptionist is like my second mother, I can always go to her for anything at all, the rest of the girls are lovely too, always have a good chat and get to know you, marybone is a good community to live in and very well priced for what you get! I would highly recommend!!
As an international student it was hard for me to adapt to the change. But Marybone was quickly adaptable and worthy of change. The social experience I gained here is so valuable. I would definitely recommend Marybone to any one because it is situated so close to city centre and its cheaper and clean. Maintenance and routine safety checks makes it so comfortable to stay in.
Staying at Marybone 1 in Liverpool since September has been an outstanding experience. The location is perfect, offering easy access to amenities and attractions. The apartments are modern, spacious, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable living environment. The staff is exceptional, offering friendly and professional service. The on-site facilities, including the gym and communal spaces, are impressive. Marybone 1 is a top-notch choice for an unforgettable stay in Liverpool. Highly recommended.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave your lovely comments! We are so glad that you enjoyed your time living at Marybone so much and would love to have you back again the future! Marybone Student Village
The location was close to universities, transportation links, and popular student areas. The proximity to amenities and campus greatly influences students' satisfaction. Common features include study areas, communal spaces, laundry facilities, 24/7 security, and high-speed internet access are like the cherry on top. Moreover, they provide well-furnished rooms with comfortable beds, study desks, and ample storage space. The staffs were helpful and friendly, and also provided prompt maintenance services,

Marybone 1 was definitely the perfect 1st year accommodation for me - it was cheap and close to my university and had plenty of amenities for its residents.
Hi, thanks for your comments. I am glad that you had such a great experience for your first year at university. We would love to have you back living with us again in the future! Marybone Student Village
It was a great experience with all facilities and good value for money.
Hi, thank you for your lovely comments which will be passed onto the staff! Hopefully, if you or anyone you know needs student accommodation in the future, we will be your first choice! Marybone Student Village
Fantastic for the price but the quality does come with that. Overall affordable and fair.

It’s going to be my 3rd year staying at Marybone next year, it’s so close to my university, walking distance to the shops , close to bus stops and train station. Everyone is very friendly and helpful.
Hi, thanks for your lovely feedback! We're so glad that you have chosen to stay with us throughout your entire time at university and it's nice to know that you have enjoyed your time living with us! I will pass your comments onto the staff. Marybone Student Village
Nice rooms, nice beds, and overall nice place. The walls are extremely thin and doors slam very loudly. Building works for almost a full year right opposite my (and about 100 other students) rooms, with some days being almost unbearable to live in and no support from the staff, or discounts for the disruption. Most staff members are lovely, but one can be standoffish.
Hi, thank you for your comments. Unfortunately, the building works were essential and unavoidable. We did everything we could to minimise disruption, such as ensuring the works only took place between 8am - 4pm, Monday - Friday, which did result in very minimal complaints from residents. However, I am glad that most of your time at Marybone was good and will pass your feedback onto the team. Thanks
I had a great time staying at this accommodation. The staff was amazing and the place is safe and secure. As an international student it was affordable and had all the amenities nearby.
Hi, thank you for your lovely review! I am glad that you enjoyed your time living with us and that you were so happy with the staff. We work very hard to make sure everyone here is safe and happy so I will be sure to pass your lovely comments onto the team! Marybone Student Village
Love it, would love to stay here forever👌😍❤️
Hi! Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We are so glad that you have enjoyed your time living with us and will make sure that your comments are passed on to the whole team! Thanks! Marybone Student Village
Having lived here for nearly 2 years and planning to stay here next year, I have had an amazing experience. Staff are AMAZING at making you feel safe and listened to, there is security during the night and always someone around to help you with anything. The location is amazing, right by John Moores so it suits me, close to the Docks where you can go for a walk and the staff organise multiple social activities and events throughout the year. (They also give you freebies) I'm glad I choose marybone.
Hi, thank you for your lovely comments! We are so glad that you have enjoyed your time living with us and love that you are rebooking to stay with us again! I will make sure to pass this onto the whole team as we all work hard to make sure that everyone living with us is happy and safe. Marybone Student Village

Everything you see in this package is a total lie. Being a 1st year student in MB1 I haven’t had any access to the gyms and common rooms, this is apparently because their not actually in the tenancy agreement so they don’t have to be open to residents of MB1. The WiFi barely works and is always cutting out. My room stunk of weed when I first moved in, and we had to ask for bins, microwave, toaster, mop and hoover. Even the lift didn’t work on the first day of moving in. The windows have never been cleaned and the safety bar in our own flat is hanging on by a thread. Reception staff are generally nice but most of the caretakers come across as very passive aggressive. Despite expecting low standards and only having to pay £80 a week I still somehow feel like I’ve had the worse end of the deal.
Unfortunately due to covid restrictions we where unable to have the gym or common rooms open in 2020/21 however they are now all open as normal. The wifi has been upgraded. Windows are cleaned every summer and the rooms are deep cleaned.
It is an ongoing joke between students that nothing here works.. i actually get surprised when something does. Staff are unhelpful. The only accommodation in Liverpool that kept students paying full price rent during corona virus. 800 students moved out of Marybone and were charged thousands of pounds. Only care about profits
Thank you for your review. If you have any Maintenace issues in your flat please pop down to reception and someone will be happy to help you. Marybone remained open for all students during 2020.
For the cheapest available accommodation in Liverpool I wasn’t expecting much. However I have been proven wrong. The location is perfect , especially for studying at Byrom street. The library is next door literally. It’s only a short 10 minute walk to lime street and to town. The flats are just what you need and are clean it’s up to you to keep it that way. The rooms have everything you need and I really love mine. I love the fact there is always security behind reception to you always feel safe. Everyone at marybone is so lovely and we all have so much fun! I would 1000% come back to marybone again.
Thank you for your review am glad you enjoyed your time at Marybone
For what you pay, this is excellent. There are some issues, but none too bad. Because it's so cheap, there will probably be things in the room that break. But in my experience they have been small things, and maintenance is over the next day at latest even when it's not an emergency. Staff are friendly and understanding. From the group chat and stories of previous years from hallmates, things can be loud and there are lots of parties, but for me it has been mostly fine. There are also nice gestures like tea in the reception which are nice to see. My only issues are that there is no way to opt out of certain emails but not others, so you get some unnecessary ones, and the inspection weeks are unreliable at best. Twice so far they have been delayed without prior notice, and once they didn't even come in the delayed time they told us.
Thank you for your review. I hope you enjoyed your stay. Sometimes inspections are delayed due to staff absence/illness or emergencies onsite, we will always inform you if you inspection is due to be delayed.
At any point during the night, you will hear a rendition of Robbie Williams Angels.
If you do happen to hear Angles by Robbie Williams or any other cheesy songs at an anti social hour you are welcome to call security. I hope you enjoyed your stay
Value for money : Cheap, get what you pay for. Location : Right next to every other hall Cleaning : What cleaning? Maintenance: My shared shower was broken from day one and after multiple attempts at getting it fixed I gave up and it was left broken. In addition to that the front entrance to reception was broken Heating : I hope you like being cold because heaters which turn themselves off when they get too warm are what you are going to have (and remember the temperature of the heater does not mean the room is warm). the heaters are also placed directly below an enormous window which counteracts any warmth they produce. Enjoy freezing your ass off in the winter. Common room / Social spaces : Are you joking? I have at least a thousand spam emails from Marybone, about running club which I can't block without blocking other vital communications from them. Internet is fast but too much down time, also they hijack browser requests redirecting you to their website
Great place to live, however I live in Marybone 3 and I'm a nurse with having to get up for placements early in the morning, people that live in Marybone 2 are up at all hours with loud music and screaming. Also I live above the gym and constantly hearing th treadmill banging is very frustrating especially when it's at 10pm and you have placement at 5am the next day.
For the money I have paid, I would easily live here for second year, but I'd prefer my own bathroom so I think I'll stay in another halls, maybe even Marybone 2
Glad you enjoyed your stay!
Great value for money and great fun!
We are glad you enjoyed your experience at Marybone.
I didn't have the bests of times here, and was actually at least a half an hour walk away from the library I was in need of and from lectures. Wouldn't recommend it for anyone doing drama or anything arts based
Expensive for bare basics. Really good location for the city centre (you're in it). Everything breaks a lot. Walls, floors, ceilings are extremely thin. Lifts break a lot. It's a bit depressing.
Cheap and cheeful. Can be really loud. Needs refurbishment but otherwise good.
