I recently had the pleasure of staying at Pier Quays, where Mark and Darren were instrumental in ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free living experience. Both Mark and Darren consistently displayed outstanding professionalism and a can-do attitude that made a significant difference in my stay. Their dedication to the maintenance aspect of the accommodation was particularly impressive. Any time there was an issue in my room, whether it was a minor fix or something more substantial, I could always count on them to handle it swiftly and efficiently. Their work was not only quick but also thorough, ensuring that everything was in perfect order. What stood out the most was their friendly and approachable manner. They were always ready to assist with a smile, making all residents feel valued and well-cared-for. It's rare to see such dedication and enthusiasm in maintaining student accommodation.

Overall a good place but what makes it great is the night staff people, Alix, Jim and Sam are great people and they are there for the laughs or serious conversations when needed. They are an asset to the place and need promotions or a pay rise

Hello, Thank you for your kind words. I will ensure these are passed over to the team. Enjoy your Summer!
1. This is Pier Quays Medway. Since I moved there’s been construction works and drilling in the buildings. Really noisy, and difficult to study! 2. The Wi-Fi sometimes doesn’t work at night and the heaters stopped working at some point.
