I have been living at Europa House in Portsmouth for a few months now, and overall, my experience has been positive. The accommodation is modern, well-maintained, and ideally located for students at the University of Portsmouth. The building is close to the city centre, with shops, restaurants, and public transport options within walking distance, making it super convenient for both studies and leisure. Chanika, in particular, has been fantastic! She's always friendly, approachable, and quick to help with any issues or questions. Her commitment to making sure everyone is comfortable has made my stay here even better.

Hi there, we have big box appliances, e.g. hob/oven and fridge, in the room. You may need to bring smaller things like toaster and iron for yourself.

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.

So thankful to the team for all your help and support throughout a very personally stressful year.
Thank you for reviewing Europa House! - Happy to see that you are having a great time and feel that you have support from our wonderful site team!
Europa house is a very well run accommodation from cleanliness to the amazing team that helps us in the building. The high quality rooms , from the games room to the gym even a cinema room. The location is very convenient as it is situated between Gunwarf as well as the university building at the 24 hour security is always there to assist with any problems anyone might have. Would definitely recommend a years stays here
Hello thank you for leaving a great review for our Europa House building, we appreciate the positive words!
not recommending go for other places in the city
beside the expensive rent, yoiu have to consider the higher price you have to pay for laundry, they have the same machine as all other accommodations but they charge you 1.5 pound more for every cycle, so can be 10 pound more a month. also consider you have to buy drainer (10 pound a month) for shower, and you have to buy internet for you phone as the wifi does not work all the time. so consider at least 30 pounds more as hidden charges that you are not aware before renting. the laundry room is always dirty. this year they will ask you to move once to anither floor as they have construction, so i can imagine lifts will be broken all the time. i do not recommend this accommodation to anyone. you ca find common rooms and lovely staff every where. to me it is waste of money and experience.
Hello thank you for leaving your review for our Europa Hopuse building, If you would like to discuss this matter further please get in touch on book@hellostudent.co.uk.
do not trust this accommodation, they asked us to rate them 4 or 5 star and most of the comments are from the students who are friends with staff. this is an old building with broken lift, you need to drain the shower every day and they will not give you even a hi once you start living there. totally scam. they can give you wrong information to advertise their place but once you are there you will be stuck for one year.
Hello, thank you for leaving your review for our Europa Hopuse building - If you would like to discuss this matter further please get in touch on book@hellostudent.co.uk we would love to have a chat!
Do not waste your money at this place. They only care about money. The lift is always broken, After signing the contract they will not listen to you and help you with your requests.
Hello thank you for leaving your review for our Europa Hopuse building, If you would like to discuss this matter further please get in touch on book@hellostudent.co.uk
Amazing place to stay especially for the final years.
Thank you for leaving your review! It's great to see your positive words!
Europa House has a lot of good people, the people in reception will make you feel very welcome like if you were at home or if you were chilling with your friends. They really care about you and make sure you okey. They do a lot of social events which can make you interact with people and get to know people in your accommodation. It’s also the perfect spot which is very close to the coach station and train station. And it has the cinema, bowling, shops close to it. One thing I will say if you are the type of person who does not like to be seen by people who you know in the streets and you want to have a low-key profile, Europa House is the accommodation for you, you won’t regret it plus they have loads of commons rooms including a gym and a cinema room.
Thank you for reviewing our Europa House property, it is wonderful to see that you have had a great experience and enjoyed your stay! The social events are always great fun, I agree!
Great location, good facilities, reasonably well priced. Mostly great experience, just let down by the lifts being unreliable.
Hi there, thank you for your kind words about the property! We can only apoligise retrospectively about the lifts becoming out of order. The minute an issue is relayed back to our on site teams the process of rectifying will begin. We always look at improving the turnover time from something being reported to being resovled/ fixed.
I’ve had a great experience. Staff are incredibly nice and I’ve made friends for life
Oh wow, this is so lovely to hear :) we're over the moon you're having a great experience overall! We love that you've made friends for life living with us too.
Good location, clean and modern, lovely staff. The wifi does not work in my room.
Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it and your accommodation team will be pleased too! Please pop to reception about WIFI issues or log via the app so we can help resolve this issue for you as quickly as possible.
Pros: Good property management, with a team, full of members who make you feel like you are home. Whenever a problem happens they try their best to solve it (even with the things written in the cons section.) They run events consistently and the common areas are fun to hang out such as; playing table tennis or watching a football match on tv. It is cleaner, more comfortable and less noisy compared to the student halls located around the Commercial Road. Cons: It is expensive. However, student housing is, in general expensive in the U.K. Compared to the other halls in Portsmouth it has a good rate of value for money. The lifts are constantly going out. Therefore, they are generally crowded and consequently stopping at every floor. The heater in the room has a timer and it gets so cold if you don’t manuelly turn it on. The water drain in the shower is getting blocked in time, forcing you to pump out the drain or call for a help. In general, my experience in Europa House was positive.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review - we're so pleased you're happy with your accommodation team and they help you feel at home, this makes us so happy. It's great you're happy with the events and activities at Europa house too, we're always looking for ways to ensure our lovely residents are having fun and enjoying their experience with us. If you ever have any recommendations on events, feel free to let your accommodation team know :). Please do log any maintenance issues via the app, our maintenance team are always on hand to help! Thanks again :)
Lovely accommodation, issues in the flat are fixed within a matter of hours not days, best location in Portsmouth! Only minor issue to lack of a buzz in door operation system, the two fob activated doors make it frustrating for guests and annoying to get in and out the building
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review - we really appreciate it! It's great to hear you're happy with how quick the Maintenance Team can fix any issues and that you love the location too. We have two fob activated doors for the safety of our lovely residents and we feel its important to ensure that guests are collected from the reception by a resident so we have full knowledge of who is in the building.
I am a student at Portsmouth University and was a resident at Europa House. However, owing to medical problems I had to vacate my platinum studio early. I would like to express my grateful thanks to the staff at Europa House and Hello Student for their help and understanding with my problems, especially, Beatriz and Chanika who really were very efficient with their handling of the situation.
We’re so glad to hear that you’re enjoying living with us. Thanks again for leaving your feedback, it’s appreciated. Get well soon! ;)
Beatriz setup a lovely pancake day breakfast.
I have been in quite a lot of accommodations in Portsmouth due to friends having parties etc. I love Europa House, the family atmosphere makes it the best place to live in Portsmouth. It's really cool you can book the common rooms and cinema room for parties with your friends. I've definitely made use of it and now all my other friends are jealous they don't live here. The reception staff are really cool and I stop for a chat when Im not in a rush. I'm happy giving this place 5 stars because it deserves it.
Love Europa House! Found it hard finding a place I like in Portsmouth and was initially reluctant but Europa House feels like the best choice I could've made. It's a real family atmosphere and I love the place.
I like Europa House, it's a cool place to be.
Staff are lovely and very helpful, clean communal areas and maintaince issues were dealt with swiftly. The staff make you feel safe and at home. The rooms are well layed out and have everything you need. The views are great, have booked again for next year.
Europa house is the best accommodation so far. The cinema room is so good, watching the England games was elite. It's also bookable and you are able to bring all your mates. I love the staff, especially Alex on the weekend. Think I spend more times chatting to the staff at the desk than in my room lol Defo recommend this place

Europa house is one of the best accommodation around town, probably top 2 in Portsmouth for students. Great people, facilities, and staff.
Many thanks for the good rating. If there’s anything we can do to improve your living experience, please let us know.
Really recommend this accommodation for anyone looking for student accommodation in Portsmouth. While it sits further out near Gunwharf, the place is really quiet (in a good way) but still within easy walking distance (5-10 mins) to my lectures next to Guildhall. They try hard to put on regular events for residents and readily ask us what we want on. I've been able to book the social spaces myself for small gatherings with my friends. The male staff member who works on the weekend is so nice. He's always asking me how I am and whenever I had a query, he tries really hard to sort it as fast as he can. The wifi could be better, and sometimes the other residents aren't clean but the housekeeping staff work hard to keep the place clean (from what I can tell). Hope this helps, I've lived in a couple of the other student accommodation buildings in Portsmouth and this is by far the best!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at Europa House. We take pride in knowing our residents are happy with their experience :)

Really easy to get to know people that stay here. The residents and staff are all really friendly and very helpful with just about anything. It's also extremely quick and straightforward to get to class or to get to do grocery shopping. Best accommodation I've been to in Portsmouth!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review. We’ll let the team in Europa House know.
Accommodation is blessed. Alex in particular should co-lead with Lauren.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating. We really appreciate it. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to improve further.
No internet for a year in my room. Kept chasing the site manager who said he was in meeting with Glide to fix the issue. The issue was never fixed, and the site manager ghosted me and left the company. Fast forward a year and a few months later they offer me 100 pounds for not being able to access the internet, call my family, watch television, access online learning. All this during lockdown, I had no support bubble, no access to outer world.
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review our Europa Hopuse building, we apologise for your negative experience, if you would like to talk about this matter further please contact us on Book@hellostudent.co.uk
Okay living space, could of done a better background check on people seeing who I was living with and the state they would leave things
Honestly got ripped off living in these halls, so expensive for what you pay. When the lift is broken half the time and management only care about rent money
Its quite far from the uni relatively speaking (makes it worse on nights out). Wifi is really good. Mostly clean, unlike other halls no broken walls or anything like that. Couple of places to hang out and socialize, including a cinema room.
