Apart from the basic gym, pool table and mahjong, who's student flat has a free ps5, netflix and a video room for watching movies and karaoke. Downstairs in the city centre are Lidl, Tesco, Happy Lemon, Sunrise Tea, Korean Food, Chinese grocery, Sichuan Food and Hong Kong Restaurant. And the city centre has the only and biggest shopping mall in Southampton, covering all needs and super convenient. It is 5 minutes walk to Marks and Spencer, Waitrose, John Lewis, Boots, Poundland, H&M, Apple Store, Lego Store etc. There is also Ikea, Decathlon, Iceland. A 3 minute walk to the bus stop below the flat and there is a direct bus service to the University.

Unilife is the best student apartment I have ever seen in Southampton. I have been to many of my classmates' apartments (such as VP, Mercury and Glen Eyre and many other apartments), which are far worse than Unilife. For this reason, my classmates are very jealous of me... They envy me very much when they come to visit me. Unilife High street has excellent hygiene, comparable to the sanitary conditions of 4-5 star hotels. I have seen many bugs in my classmates' apartment, but I can't see any foreign objects in Unilife. I noticed that the apartment housekeeper is cleaning up the whole building every day. Compared with my classmates worrying about hygiene every day, Unilife is really reassuring. In terms of facilities, Unilife also has the facilities of 4-5-star hotels. When I first came here, it was like coming to a star hotel š. It is worth mentioning that when I travelled during the Christmas holiday recently, none of the star hotels I live in were more comfortable than Unilife. Back
My experience at Unilife High Street has been outstanding. The staff here is friendly and incredibly helpful. My premium vip studio is exceptionally comfortable, and having a big screen TV. In addition, the location in the city center is perfect, with Costa and Lidl just seconds away. The weekday grab and go breakfast is convenient, and the regular interesting events they organize truly enrich the student experience. For students studying in Southampton, Unilife High Street is a fantastic choice!
I think the location of Unilife student accommodation is perfect which is located in the city center, and the type of the studio I live in right now is premium vip. I love the french windows so much, and the bathroom is so clean and nice with a big mirror. I would really recommend this accommodation to everyone.
all people in this apartment are nice, I really enjoy the time.
Dear student, Thank you for your lovely 5* review. I am delighted to hear that you are enjoying your stay with us at Unilife High Street.Regards,Ben
overall nice but expensive. ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..
I do think itās a good accommodation for students. Although there are still some issues need to be resolved, but I really appreciate what the manager did for all of us, and the facilities are very useful, as well as the breakfast for free. In addition, the position is really convenient to buy groceries or go shopping. I would say itās the best accommodation of students for ever!
Hello student, Thank you for your lovely 4.3/5 star review. It is fantastic to hear that you value the service that we provide to our students. It means a lot to us that you called us the best accommodation for students. We are an ideal location for students as we are on the main high street of Southampton which is seconds away from all the shops, bars and restuarants. I am delighted that you are enjoying all of our amenities that are included with your weekly rent, in particular the grab and go breakfast every morning with unlimited tea, coffee and hot chocolate. I hope this helps with your commute to University in the morning. You highlighted that you may have some issues that need resolving so as ever, we would be delighted to speak with you in reception to help understand how we can help you. Regards, Ben
My room is spacious and comfortable. I can easily study without being disturbed by anybody. Most importantly the staff has been very kind to me since my arrival.
I mailed with one of the team member Alex and he was always responding quickly even I asked a month later. Therefore good work of ethics just like other members in the team, Ben, Alverto, Marius... Apart from that it is basically the best located accommodation for students. We are living one of the plus studios with my partner and it is more than enough for us at the moment. I mean the place is modern-well furnished and everything but I like to problem solving capabilities of the team the most.
We had a somewhat unortodox experience at Unilife, Southampton but a great one non-the-less. The studios are large enough for two people to live and study without being in each other's way and space. The furniture is perfectly comfortable (there is a TV you can move to either face the bed or the couch and the table is the perfect height for both the couch and the desk chairs - perfect for boardgame night). The shower is massive and the bed is comfy but the best advantage is all the storage space within the studio (and the giant desks). Management wise, staff was great (especially Ben who always went above and beyond) and they helped with any issues and inquiries. There were also quite a few fun events (Chinese takeaway, Fifa tournament, bowling, football match, etc.). All in all, this is the perfect studio for a couple or a person living alone who likes the extra space. It is very conveniently located (do try Ji Chicken and the Korean BBQ right across the small street).
I would really recommend Unilife High Street to students studying in Southampton! There are friendly staff here, especially Ben Patrick, Unilife's City Manager, who is very kind and friendly and always solves our requests and problems very quickly.Ben and Unilife's team often organise interesting events in the residence, like bowling activities, pumpkin light making and get-togethers etc. The location of Unilife High Street is also perfect, with the lidl shop downstairs and Unilink & Bluestar bus stops very close by, making it very easy to get around. Southampton Central Railway Station is just a ten minute walk away, and the Westquay Shopping Centre is only a 3-minute short walk away. Every morning there are some delicious breads, fruits and drinks on the table downstairs, and the accommodation is cleaned every day by the staff to create a clean and comfortable environment for us. In short, my one-year stay at Unilife High Street was a great experience, so I'm willing to recommend it
My wife and I had booked a couple studio at Unilife High Street, Southampton. It was perfect for us as there was proper space for us both to study and to relax as well. One of the best aspects of the studio was the amount of storage we both had to keep all our bags, clothes, and other belongings. In addition to that we moved into a new building so everything in the studio was brand new and in pristine condition. The general quality of everything provided in the studio was fantastic. A special mention to all members of the Unilife staff, especially our main point of contact, Ben, who were all exceptionally helpful throughout our stay at Unilife. They were always available when required, and very quick to take action on any issues, queries or concerns that were raised. We also greatly appreciated the fact that they always ensured there were breakfast-to-go items available for the residents on a regular basis. As a result we had a very pleasant experience at Unilife.
Unilife is a wonderful place to live and study, and I highly recommend it! I stayed here for several years during my postgraduate and doctoral studies, and I only have good memories of the team and the place. The team is stellar, especially Frank is always extremely helpful and kind, Marius always attends to issues in the quickest and best manner, and the whole team is very responsive, reliable, and professional. The location is ideal, at the heart of the city, very close to the bus stop to Southampton University, and only a quick walk from several supermarkets, the West Quay shopping centre, cafes, restaurants and bars. The studios are spacious, light, fully equipped with modern and high quality furniture, fittings, and appliances. They are thoughtfully designed and self-contained, with plenty of storage space, a great bathroom and a very practical kitchenette. The building is quiet, well-kept, safe and secure, and the Unilife team is always eager to help!
The team at Unilife is EVERYTHING. The location of High Street is so good, RIGHT next to Lidl (supermarket) which stays open all day and the bus stop to Southampton University is a 30 second walk away. Right in the city centre, and the studios are amazing quality, spacious and light! The team helps you move in and out, social spaces are also amazing, with free gym and proper cinema screen. The building is quiet which makes it super postgrad friendly, the social spaces are in the basement which is great for minimal noise in the living areas. Highly recommend!!
Enjoyed a year here. Spacious rooms and the maintenance guys were friendly. Could do with better social spaces - but being in the city centre I spent more time outside than inside
Frank and Ben were amazing and extremely helpful with assisting me and helping me through my situation and time here at Unilife and I recommend staying at this establishment to anyone
Iāve been living with Unilife at High Street in Southampton for the past year and I have already booked to stay next year with my partner. Itās an amazing location right in the heart of the city very close to all shops restaurants and all that itās needed. The studios are large and spacious with big bathrooms, double super comfy bed with tons of understorage area. The kitchen is fully equipped with cooking hobs,combi microwave oven, good size fridge with a freezer compartment, lots of cupboard space too! We really like that we have our dining area separate from our study desks aether helps us to keep things organised and tidy. Our studio also has large big windows allowing as much light in as possible but we also have window blinds that guarantee our privacy. The service is top notch! Nothing is ever too much trouble! We recently asked for a different oven which the team was happy to help us with. On this specific note, a huge shoutout to Alberto who is always delighted to help at all.
Strength: located in the centre of Southampton. Easy to access all the shops and facilities. Room is nice for individuals professionals or students. Property managers are always helpful if we had any problems. Reasonable size common room and gym for tenets. Weakness: the room is very warm, especially in summer.(not very good air flow). No reception. Sometimes we canāt receive parcels if we arenāt at home.
Great location and customer service, Unilife staff professional and friendly.
Thank you Unilife, youāve been a great help to me financially and mentally.
Even though the whole had to isolate throughout quarantine I still felt remembered and acknowledged by the staff which made me feel safe and happy
I haven't yet moved in yet but Frank and Ben at Unilife Southampton have both been so helpful in arranging and doing virtual viewings, particularly given the coronavirus situation. The rooms look lovely - looking forward to moving in!
My daughter Grace is currently a student at Southampton University and itās a fantastic place for her to stay while doing her studying. She was at a crappy flat before this and I canāt tell you how good it is that she is staying at somewhere clean friendly and warm. But the best thing is how safe and secure it is. The staff there really look after her when she needs anything and the security staff really put our minds at ease with their constant vigil. You have put our minds as parents at ease that she is being so well looked after. Thank you !!!!
