I have stayed in Cityblock since September 2022 until July 2024. My first academic year was very pleasant. Unfortunately, there has been a new staff building manager which has dramatically declined my experience. Under the supervision of this new building manager my flat has been flooded by a water pipe issue, there has been no running water for 2 days, there was no electricity power for 24hrs and over 50 fire alarms incidents during the night because there is an “internal fault”. Staff members such as letting assistants, maintenance and cleaners are trying there very hardest to go above and beyond and do there best with no credit, but the new Building Manager is hindering the upkeep of this building. Currently, I am paying £1,050 for the cheapest room and not satisfied. Cityblock advertise 24/7 CCTV but this is only for the main entrance. There is no cameras by the bins, in the lift or in the corridors so lots of social incidents take place and there is insufficient security.

All great at this accommodation
Cityblock Berkshire House exceeded my expectations!! The room was so cosy and nice and the people were so friendly , smiley and always keen to offer support. Highly recommend it!!
I love living at CityBlock! The team here are so friendly and I feel so at home. The space we have downstairs with the gym, study room and kitchens is amazing for when friends come over. Would 100% recommend to anyone!
The location of CityBlock is ideal as it is between the town center and the University. There is easy access to transport services with a bus stop just outside your front door as well as bike storage within the accommodation if you have a bike. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating and are more than happy to help with any issue. The rooms are much nicer than the majority of private halls in Reading and are much better value for money. The communal areas are great also with a variety of amenities such as a gym, cinema room, and communal kitchens.
