would not recommend anyone to stay here! they advertise a cinema room but in the 3 years I lived here the projector never worked despite multiple maintenance requests, and for 2 of those three years the room was locked. They advertise a common room with a PS4 but there is no PS4, the airhokey table has no puck, the table tennis table is broken, the pool table costs 50p per game. Maintenance issues take way way way too long to solve, the lift was out of service for about a month the first year I was here, and I was left with no toilet seat for over 2 months despite numerous complaints about this health hazard, another tenant had no working TV in theor room for almost 4 months despite the fact it's advertised, the multi-gym machine hasn't worked in 3 years, the tredmil has also been broken for over 1 year yet the gym is still advertised. The WiFi is down all the time.the fire alarms go off constantly (except when they brake and Xenia ignore it) I have more to say but can't fit it in

The fire alarm goes off randomly throughout the day almost weekly, I put a freedom of infro request into the fire department and they have spent over £16,000 in 2022 on callouts just to Sovereign House alone! Sometimes it goes off for hours and no one comes to turn it off, sometimes you are left standing outside in the rain at 2am for an hour and i would not recommend anyone else put themselves through this

The whole lift area in the ground floor stinks of feet and is never cleaned, the gym machines don't work, the common room is very poor and run down, and the staff don't care about anything or fix any issues ever, reception is only open for a few hours a day while you're at uni
