Q
Hi, for those who have a cluster ensuite bedroom, I see from the photos that the desk was cut off by the corner of the room next to the window, and it doesn't seem to have a big enough workspace. Is the set of drawers movable please to move to the other side of the desk where the corner has been chopped off in order to have more workspace on the desk? Thanks.

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.

Fabulous accommodation, I have been here for two years and the staff, area, location, facilities and the overall vibe is and are amazing!! I would 100% recommend to students!
Pretty good. The best student accommodation I have stayed in.
Seren Student Accomodation is a great option for students looking for nice, affordable housing. The rooms are a great size and come with essential furniture like a bed, desk, and wardrobe. The location is convenient, close to campus and transport links. Facilities like Wi-Fi, laundry, and communal areas are always available. Overall, been a pleasure to stay at Seren!
Seren is perfect! It’s in an amazing location! The facility’s are excellent and well taken care of, staff are always on hand to help as well as there always being security throughout the night! They host events several times each month and also host events for various religious groups! Overall an amazing place! I’ve been here 2 years and already rebooked to stay for a 3rd!
Seren is a great accommodation with a really homely feel to it! The social spaces are amazing and there’s plenty of places to sit and relax or study indoors and outdoors! They also host lots of different activities such as movie nights, mug / glass painting, free breakfast weeks and trivia nights!
My experience with SEREN accommodation has been very pleasant and would definitely recommend to any student that wants to study in Swansea
This is my second year at seren and I have nothing bad to say! The prices I believe is worth it, especially when the staff work tirelessly for us! The location is ideal after a long travel by train, there is a tesco express located below so convenience shopping is easy, however for a full food shop aldi is a 7 minute walk, a big tesco and sainsbury’s is a 10 minute walk. The social areas inside seren are large so offer a place to study and meet new people when events are hosted! I cannot fault the staff either with their friendliness and enthusiasm for wanting the best for the residents. Staff also are super accommodating to my part time job and always greet me either when i finish or before i head out! Feels like a home away from home!
It is a good accommodation with a nice location, and the management team and staff are helpful. However, it is overpriced for a small 12m² en-suite room.
Seren is a lovely accomodation with a perfect location being in the city centre, walking distance to nightlife and restaurants. The staff are friendly and often host social events for the students, and even give out free food !! Would reccomend!
For a place with games room, study areas, karaoke, cinema and bistro Seren is reasonably priced with great wifi and keeps the tenants happy with gifts and great staff service. Every issue has quick responses with a 24/7 staff service. 10/10 would recommend
Seren offers a fantastic accommodation experience with modern, comfortable rooms and excellent facilities. The staff are welcoming and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay. Its central location makes it convenient for exploring Swansea, with easy access to attractions, restaurants, and public transport. Overall, a great choice for anyone looking for quality and convenience in the city.
Wifi can be a bit shocking however this happens rarely. The social and location is ideal for student and arguably the best accommodation UPPA SEREN.
Already lived here 2 years and plan on living here next year, great facilities and love having a TV in the room, though the spotty WiFi and unreliable elevators can be annoying
Such a good place to stay as it’s located by everything you need in Swansea. It’s always kept very clean and has amazing study spaces along with a cinema room and a karaoke room! I would definitely stay here for another year
I’ve been living in this Seren for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The location is fantastic—everything I need is within walking distance, from cafes to public transportation, making daily life incredibly convenient. I live in a studio with modern style design. Here I have my own kitchen (a fridge/freezer, 4 piece induction hob, microwave/oven), an en-suite. There’s ample storage space for a studio, which has made organising my things easy. Cleanliness is another highlight. The building is kept spotless, I always see the cleaners around in the mornings and throughout the day. The management team ensures everything is taken care of promptly. The staff is always friendly and responsive, making sure all my needs are met. Great social spaces like bars, a cinema and a gym. And there’s ALWAYS something going on to do! I would recommend Seren as somewhere to live for comfort, cleanliness, a sociable environment, and great value for money too. 520
The living environment is very good, the traffic is very convenient, downstairs is the railway station, it is more convenient to go anywhere. The staff is very warm and friendly, and you can find help at the front desk 24 hours a day. There were also plenty of daily food or game handouts. Life was very comfortable.
Im glad i came here it has great proximity to my university and a lovely environment. They plan a lot of events which is nice and my room is perfect, it seems small but holds a lot. I recommend getting a studio as well as i love having my own kitchen.
Lovely social areas and rooms, with quick access to town centre
Great location making it easy to get to all kind of events.
A really great accommodation. I’m happy to have chosen Seren because the staff are really friendly and sociable and the accommodations decorating and rooms are just the right size for me.
Amazing staff, always smiling and polite. Always clean and always smells nice. Quiet and never too loud. Very enjoyable environment to be in. Amazing events. Definitely worth the rent! Will definitely rebook next year and would recommend to new freshers joining the uni!!
Awesome place to live with lots of different social events and parties! Location is perfect, being near shops and the town meaning easy commuting!
Very lovely and easy move in experience! Lots of fun events going on that let you meet new people!
Lovely staff and always lots of fun events going on!
Great place to live and the staff are so welcoming and friendly
Lovely staff, well organised area, easy to find places such as laundry room, social spaces etc. host many student parties where friends are welcome too
Excellent place to live. I have an amazing view and excellent room. It’s in the centre of town, next to the train station, 10 minute walk from the bus station. Lots of social opportunities, lots of events and free breakfasts. Vending machines and the shops are 1-4 minutes away. My only criticism of the entire place, is the gym leaves a bit to wish for, there’s no bench or squat rack or leg press. Other than the gym, it’s a perfect place to live! 30 mins away from either campus by bus, if you want to cycle you can, they have bikes you can use for free. I only have one flat mate, but my room is soundproof. Only time I ever hear anyone is if some one is outside with a super loud car at 3am racing.
Pretty good, would rebook, location is great
Fantastic central location, great connecting bus routes to all campus locations, built in bike storage and Tesco express for ease of access. Great WiFi connectivity and laundromat on site
I live in a flat with my friends. I like the convenience of a bus stop. I enjoy the gym and free to use vacuum. I like being able to have access to security for when I come home.
I'm very happy to live here. It's very close to the train station and the surrounding environment is also very good.
good experience, and the staff at Seren are very helpful!
Great experience. Great quality
Living at Seren in Swansea has been a fantastic experience. The staff are incredibly friendly and supportive, always going the extra mile to ensure residents feel welcome and cared for.

Living here the last year has been really good, the maintenance team is fantastic, the reception team is super helpful, everything is organised to a tee. Would highly recommend
I stayed at Seren for six months when I first arrived in the UK, and it was definitely the best accommodation compared to shared houses. Having my own kitchen and bathroom was a huge benefit, providing comfort and privacy. The amenities at Seren were fantastic. The laundry was affordable, much cheaper than other student accommodations. I also enjoyed using the silent meeting rooms for studying and the movie room to relax. The gaming area was a fun place to unwind, and I made good use of it. One of the best features was the cycle Store —Seren provides bikes for students to use, and I relied on it to bike to university. It was really convenient and saved me time. The staff at Seren were always friendly and willing to help with anything I needed, making my experience even better. Overall, Seren was a great choice for me, offering a comfortable and convenient living environment with lots of useful amenities. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for student accommodation in UK !
Living at Seren has been a fantastic experience. The staff are exceptionally friendly and supportive, regularly organising events that foster a welcoming atmosphere. Seren features excellent and modern social spaces, including a courtyard, quiet study rooms, and well-cleaned lounge areas. The accommodation is incredible, with well-equipped rooms that have ample storage and spacious desks for those late-night study sessions. There are plenty of opportunities to socialise, whether at themed parties or movie nights, which has helped me make lifelong friendships. Additionally, Seren's location is a massive advantage—it's just a short walk to town and a bus ride to the university, providing a great balance for student life. Having a Tesco and Gregg's right downstairs has also been a big bonus! Overall, Seren is the ideal place to live, offering both comfort and endless fun.
I had an amazing experience living at Seren Accommodation. From the moment I moved in, I felt welcomed by the incredibly supportive staff team. They were always ready to help and made sure everything ran smoothly. Throughout the year, there were fun and engaging events that created a strong sense of community, which made it easy to meet new people and form lasting friendships. One of my favorite features of Seren was the piano right at the entrance. My friends and I would often play it late at night, and it was always so exciting to hear other residents showcase their talents too. The jukebox upstairs added to the vibe, setting the perfect atmosphere in that space. The accommodation itself felt safe and comfortable, and it truly felt like a home away from home. With all the great social spaces and supportive environment, Seren is a serene place to live, just as its name suggests. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great student accommodation experience!

Great staff who are attentive to the needs of residents with plenty great events. Standard (8 bed flat) Ensuite room slightly smaller that preferred but good kitchen space to encourage socialising. Few issues regards to WiFi outage but other maintenance issues fixed and addressed quickly!
I have loved living at Seren for the last 2 years of my university life! The location is amazing - close to shops, the train station, bus stops and most importantly Wine Street! The staff at reception are always kind and ready to help out with any question and situation. The rooms are secure, comfortable and homely. Nothing else you could ask for really is there? Thank you Seren for contributing to an enjoyable 2 years of university.
Really nice place and convenient if your traveling to either Bay or Singleton
Living at Seren has been an incredible experience. The management team is outstanding, always professional, approachable, and quick to resolve any issues. They genuinely care about residents, creating a welcoming and supportive atmosphere that feels like a home away from home. The social spaces here are fantastic. Whether you want to relax in the lounge, study in dedicated quiet areas, or have fun in the games room, there’s always a place to suit your needs. The communal kitchen and outdoor spaces are also great for socialising, making it easy to meet and connect with other students. The accommodation is designed to encourage both relaxation and productivity, offering the perfect balance for student life. The events calendar is another highlight. From movie nights and quiz competitions to cultural celebrations and networking events, there’s always something happening. Seren isn’t just a place to stay, it’s a place to thrive, make lasting friendships, and to truly enjoy student life.
I love living at Seren . First year of university is so daunting and there are so many different things to worry about . I really struggled to acculimatise to the new environment but living at Seren made it easier . The staff are so kind and helpful. Any issue or problem I’ve had I’ve been able to go to the front desk and ask for help . The staff probably groan internally when they see me coming cause I always seem to need help or a bike 🤣. A massive perk that I don’t think they advertise enough is the free bike rental I have used the bikes relentlessly to get to uni and other places around Swansea and I’ve saved (I calculated this ) £697.50 on transport/travel so far this academic year . I go to school quite early and I always see the cleaners and they do a fantastic job , the floors are always sparkly. Naturally being at Uni you’re going to miss your family home but I’ve grown to love my little accom at Seren . 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
amazing place! would definitely recommend to friends
When I first booked Seren, I wasn’t sure what to expect from student accommodation. Now though, I’m not sure I could’ve chosen a better one. Seren has so many fun facilities and social spaces and regularly hosts events which allow residents to meet each other and have a great time. The facilities are kept up extremely well and cleaning happens frequently. If there are any maintenance issues, Seren responds in no time and sorts out the issue with ease. This accommodation is great for experience and location. Would recommend to anyone.
In general compare to other accommodation in Swansea it’s the most convenient and comfi one.
a beautiful and welcoming establishment. As a first year, i was filled with anxiety on my transfer to independent life, however the livelihood and activities that are held at Seren helped me to settle into the new environment whilst also seeing the many different people who have all come together to create a perfect liveable community. the staff are remarkable and accommodate to all whether it be advice, help, some fun or even just a polite hello, i couldn’t have asked for a better reception from them. Overall, i would highly recommend this accommodation during your studies at Swansea.
If you’re looking for an accommodation in the heart of swansea, Seren is the place for you! Just a short walks from town, and a short bus ride to both campuses, there are no negatives to living here. There are so many social opportunities organised by Seren free of charge, hosted by the friendly, helpful staff that always have a smile on their face! It’s so easy to commute and make friends here. The facilities are more than you could wish for, with amazing outdoor areas, great social spaces (even a cinema) and perfect rooms. The price is unfathomable for how much Seren has to offer- I would recommend it to anyone :)
Since living at Seren there have been countless amazing opportunities to not only socialise but further my University experience. With transport being easily accessible as the train station is across the road. As well as this, the 91 bus runs between Singleton and Bay Campus with a stop at Seren. With Park Tawe retail park and GP’s local to the accommodation, you’ll have everything you need. Seren also hosts many events and activities with the pool table, an amazing gym equipped with a basketball court, and the courtyard right at your fingertips. I would highly recommend Seren to anyone coming to Swansea University!!
Seren is home away from home I love the environment and the staff I love the rooms and their so clean
Great facilities and rooms and conveniently located
Overall, very nice place to stay. The study spaces are perfect to use when the weather is awful outside and are kept clean regularly throughout the day plus, the accommodation is close to shops and public transport. The rooms despite being a little warm at times are very comfortable to stay in. The launderette is in the same building as my room which is better than other accommodations and is also cheaper whilst providing the same service. They regularly advertise events going on during each month which I'd love to go to if I wasn't swamped by university work. The reception desk despite not being open 24hrs is still always running all day so that if any problem arising it is solved quickly. I would definitely recommend seren Swansea.
Great environment and extremely helpful staff
Seren is a great accommodation with lovely and helpful staff. The rooms and shared kitchens are modern and a very high standard with an efficient usage of space
Really good location and ideal for students coming in from different areas of the UK as it is right next to the train station. The place itself is very clean, relatively good value for money in comparison to most student accommodation, and is very near the town centre.
Very good location. Parking is difficult.
Clean, well maintained and enjoyable. No negative comment
Ive had a great tome at seren as all the staff are gerh accokodating and made me feel at home. Coming from another country was very difficult
it’s a delight stay here, i would highly recommend people to stay here as i think it is one of the best in swansea
It’s a very nice place, bit too expensive for what you get but the staff are nice and so are the rooms
I love the amount of options I have here at Seren. I've used the bar area and pool table and once made a Christmas dinner in the bistro with my friends. I really enjoy that we get access to the speakers to play our own music too! I am yet to use the gaming room, gym or the karaoke room but I am eager to try them out.
Seren is in an excellent location. It’s right across the road from a busy train and bus station and is only a 10 minute walk from the town centre. The rooms are cosy and the social spaces are a regular hangout spot. I would definitely recommend Seren.
Great place to live. Perfect location. Perfect for nights out not having to get a bus back home.
Seren is one of the best student accommodation in Swansea. It’s really good value for money and staff here is very friendly. What I love most in this accommodation is my room and common area. It’s very comfortable and has great facilities. I would recommend seren to all students who are looking for a peaceful and safe place to live and study.
As a research student it’s a really good place to stay with not much distractions, and very comfortable. Relatively nearby to everything. The staff is friendly and capable.
5/5! Very accommodating and helpful.
Thank you for your review - staff are here 7 days a week if you need them!
Best place I've lived at. Amazing value for money. Internet is a little spotty the further up the tower you go but otherwise it's perfect, would definitely recommend, especially with the view
Thank you - we are so glad you love it at Seren - those views across the Bay are the best!
the accommodation is really good value for money and the shared spaces are really nice. If theres ever an issue they are quick to respond I would definitely reccomend to someone if they were looking for accommodation in swansea.
Thank you - we personally love the Cinema Room and Gaming Den!
It’s been a much better experience than the first time I stayed in student accommodation! The only downside is the WiFi as it keeps cutting out when doing my work but other than that it’s been a good experience!
Swansea had a few power outages recently, across the whole city - all sorted now though! We are glad you're enjoying your Seren experience :-)
The location of this accommodation is perfect and the view from my room is worth every penny! Cozy little rooms and amazing staff, overall I recommend this accommodation.
We agree - our views are unbeatable! Thank you for taking the time to leave your lovely review!
I've very much enjoyed living here for the last 2 years and will certainly be coming back for my 3rd. The location is perfect with great bus connections to both campuses aswell as being next door to the train station and not too far from supermarkets like lidl and aldi with Sainsbury's being a slightly longer walk away. The staff are absolutely lovely and always very helpful and kind. Internet can play up sometimes however is pretty reliable. The social space is great with a pool table games room and huge kitchen all free to use when available.
Don't forget Tesco Extra AND Greggs on site! We are so glad you are staying for your third year - it's a privilege to be your favourite accommodation provider!
Extremely helpful staff, the communal space is great and the rooms are a lovely size
The staff love to hear how much our residents appreciate them - thank you!
Good standard for university accommodation. Recommend for anyone going to Swansea university.
Thank you for your review - as the BIGGEST provider outside of the campus accommodation, Seren is sure to have sonething to suit anyone going to Swansea and Trinity Universities!
Seren is a good accommodation but for what it’s worth you can also get just as good accommodation elsewhere for even less. Very high prices and maintenance issues aren’t very quickly solved but its location is really good and the staff are nice, especially the night staff. The social areas are good but sometimes the events are too big for people who are a little more awkward in bigger crowds
Hi - thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We do have lots of smaller events if our big parties are not for you - please take a look at our events calendar in reception next time you're passing to see if there's something you'd like to take part in.
This is my first year in university, and living in seren has made the whole experience so much easier for me. I knew i would struggle with finding friends but being in such a social space has helped me to meet more people and make tons of new friends. the social spaces are great for big gatherings and you can book the rooms for just you and your friends. would highly recommend!!
Our freshers make memories using our Social spaces - with regular social events and over 700 fellow residents at Seren, finding friends is SO easy. We hope you stay for years 2 and 3, too! Take a look at our Instagram @SerenSwansea to see if you feature in our party photos!

Wow - we are blown away by your beautfully worded review! We are so glad you love it here as much as we do! (P.S - We'll ask our marketing team if they need any staff!)
One of the best places I’ve ever lived at as a student. Staff are really helpful. Well worth the money.
High praise indeed - thank you so much!
It is a very nice place to live. Kitchen appliances are quick and easy to work. Staff are very kind and helpful. Social spaces are smart.
Thank you! We are glad you are enjoying your time at Seren :-)
It's so lovely living in Seren! Amazing staff and the building is wonderful. Social spaces are always kept clean and accommodation styles is one of the best!
Happy to have you with us! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a lovely review!
Love it here! The rooms are a good size, have amazing storage, I’ve had absolutely no issues and the reception team is very good- any problem is solved with ease.
Thank you for your review - the team are always happy to help!

There is no greater compliment than being called 'home away from home'! We love making our residents feel welcome. Our best ever events calendar is already being lined up this year - we hope to see you there for more fun and friendship!
Located right next to key amenities such as the train station and shops with a short distance to both campuses! Fantastic facilities and social areas.
great staff and plenty to do, room wasn’t too clean when i arrived, and also few marks on the paint etc
Since coming to Seren Accommodation within Swansea, I have found it very easy to socialise and engage within social opportunities provided to students throughout the accommodation. Being located across the road from a train station and a bus stop leading directly to the University Campuses has meant it has been accessible to continue my studies and throw myself into society events and study sessions where necessary whilst also keeping up with lectures. The facilities at Seren have been amazing and are a contributing reason to my consideration to rebook for my next year of study, with amenities ranging from the courtyard, to the pool table, I have felt privileged to socialise and entertain myself with what is provided. Additionally, the living spaces and facilities within my kitchen are impressive and straight-forward to use with the building’s cleanliness promoting a hygienic atmosphere. I would personally recommend Seren to any aspiring student who is coming to Swansea to study.
Hello - what a lovely review, thank you! Keep a close eye on your emails over the coming weeks to receive news of next years 'Early Bird' rates, promising the best value for 2025/26! We'd love to have you stay with us again next year.
For a start, the staff are lovely! After a discussion where I mentioned I have ASD, the lady showing me around took me to a room that was still available and suited all my needs perfectly, and after saying how much I loved it she helped to ensure I would get that specific room so I would feel more comfortable and they always check on their residents. The view from my room is amazing and having large windows to let in natural light really helps with my mental health. All the amenities in the room are of amazing quality. The bed is soft and large, the kitchenette is clean and has good appliances and the bathroom is clean and perfect for students. Finally the social spaces are perfect for students. Every area is clean and well decorated! It provides areas for students to socialise with friends and even fellow residents of Seren during their planned social events. I honestly cannot recommend Seren enough to people!
Hello - we just wanted to say a huge thank you for such a lovely review, it makes the staff so happy to know that you feel so at home here at Seren!
Very clean all throughout the building and management is always helpful
Nice modern building, friendly staff, nice social spaces and neat rooms with plenty storage space
We are glad you're enjoying your stay at Seren, thank you for taking the time to leave us your review.
Great place to live. Seren is always clean and tidy, with great sociable places that are inclusive for everyone. Brilliant location just across the road from the train station and just a 10 minute walk from town. All the staff are lovely and always willing to help with any issues or concerns. Highly recommended
Thanks Hana - the staff are really grateful for your kind words!
Was a nice experience in Seren as it was closer and accessible to every things
Thank you for your review!
This is already my second year living in this place and it is really nice.
Thank you - we love having you here with us <3
I’m now in my second year staying at Seren accommodation and I am so glad I ended up being put here by the university in first year. Seren is a wonderful place with many different room options and great facilities like a cinema room, gaming room and more. Seren hosts many events and combined with a friendly and helpful staff, it makes staying here a wonderful university experience.
Hi - we just wanted to say a huge thank you for your honest review. We have loads more events lined up for October and November, keep an eye on our socials for details!
Staying at Seren Accommodation in Swansea is such a vibe! The place has a cozy feel, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The location was spot on, close to everything you need. It’s 5 minutes away from my uni which is great. Overall, I am having a great time here and would totally recommend it to anyone looking for a chill place to stay in Swansea!
What a lovely review - thank you! We are so glad you feel at home here with us!
Amazing location directly next to the train station and the staff are always there to help, lovely people honestly. Rooms are definitely worth the price with everything included.
Thank you - we love keeping our students happy!
Nice accomodation, with perfect location in the city and filled with great staff and residents
Thank you, we agree....we have the best residents (and the staff are pretty great too)!
Amazing, helpful staff, clean amazing communal areas in city center close to everything
Thank you for your lovely review!
This is my second year at seren and I have nothing bad to say! The prices may seem expensive at first however when including all they do I believe is worth it! The location is ideal after a long travel by train, there is a tesco express located below so convenience shopping is easy, however for a full food shop aldi is a 7 minute walk, a big tesco and sainsbury’s is a 10 minute walk. The social areas inside seren are large so offer a place to study and meet new people when events are hosted! I cannot fault the staff either with their friendliness and enthusiasm for wanting the best for the residents.
Thank you so much for such a glowing review - we are thrilled to know that you are loving your time at Seren!
Really happy environment, close to everything in the city centre and the staff are so helpful
We are so glad you love it at Seren! :-)
Helpful staff and great events held
Thank you for your review - keep an eye on our Instagram for more events coming up in October and November, we hope to see you there!
Initially people may think the pricing is quite steep however the comfort you receive and the access so a lot of things is what u would all well worth the price. And the staff are absolutely lovely as well always willing to help and always there to protect your parcels as well 😂
Thank you for your lovely review - keep an eye for our early bird offers for next year....backed with Price Promise offering the best value rates!
Rooms are good for the price and the staff are always so helpful and friendly! The location of the accommodation is perfect with it being across the road from the train station and a bus stop!
Thank you for your review - the staff love to hear that you are happy at Seren!
Seren team have been extremely helpful through the whole process from start to finish and have provided any information needed and created a welcoming atmosphere
Thank you for taking the time to review us!
There may be some miscommunication between staff since we were told at the start of the year that we would get our deposits back, but these were never returned to us and then they said they are part of the rent we pay. Quite a let down. Also, we were banned for football in the courtyard because some other students broke a window playing cricket, which felt unfair as we were careful not to cause any damage
Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave us a four star review. We really appreciate your feedback. To clarify our deposit system, the £100 deposit paid to secure your room forms an advance of your rental payments, and therefore is not refundable at the end of your tenancy as it was taken off your rent payments earlier in the year. All payment schedules are clearly set out in our tenancy agreements. Our private courtyard is exclusively for use of all residents to enjoy the outside space, and we try our best to make it enjoyable and safe for everyone. Please do give the team a call if you are still unclear on the deposit scheme we operate - we'll be happy to help.
Overall Seren Swansea was a 10/10, The initial room prices may look steep but after my stay at Seren I can truly say it was worth it. Seren Swansea is conveniently located above a Tesco's express which makes food shopping easy. Located across the road from Seren is Swansea train station which is very convenient after a long commute. Seren Swansea has a large social area which is great for studying and socialising. The team of at Seren are very bubbly and supportive. Thank you Robbie for the warm welcome and a great tour around the facilities. Thank you Cerys and Beth for answering any queries I had throughout my stay it’s very much appreciated.
Hello, thank you so much for your review, the team have loved hearing how much you enjoyed living with us! Seren is a high-end luxury student accommodation, but the good news is that we also have rooms available for 24/25 starting at just £148 per week which gives everyone the opportunity to experience fantastic student accommodation at a competitive price. Myself and the team wish you every success for the future, and thank you for making us such an important part of your University journey!

translation from Google:
Living in Seren was absolute hell for me and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The manager got my boyfriend arrested due to a small argument we had after a night out. I had spoke with the manager the day after it happened saying I did not want police involved. She said if I changed my mind, I must let her know first. Not long after this he was arrested in Seren and I wasn't told anything. After this, police were coming to my flat on multiple occasions without any warning. They also went into my room whilst I wasn't there. I never felt safe even though I was being told it was being done for my safety. I had no choice but to move out early, drop out of uni and move home because of how bad my mental health was. They ruined my life and my relationship and then I never heard from them again! They only care about their jobs and reputation! Not students mental health!!!
Thank you for your review. As this matter is still safely in the hands of the police our comments on this have to remain appropriately brief, but I’d like to take the opportunity to highlight whilst your comments aren’t entirely accurate, all staff at Seren are trained to intervene in matters that raise serious welfare concerns, as was the case with this particular incident. The details were passed to police as per our duty of care, and on the advice of the University welfare teams with whom we work closely in order to support and protect our residents. Any subsequent action taken by the police is, of course, and we are duty bound to allow them to undertake any investigatory actions that may be required.
Seren is a wonderful place to live as a university student. First off, the location is absolutely amazing. The train station is situated right next to the accommodation, and the shops and bus station are only a 10 minute walk away. It is also only a 15 - 20 minute direct bus journey to singleton campus. The accommodation itself is very modern and inviting. The staff are very, very friendly and are always available to help if someone is in need. There are lots of communal spaces - the study space is great for concentration and super comfortable, the gym is great too! (Just to mention, Seren is a really great place for socialising). As for the room, the Cluster En-suite is lovely- it comes with a tv, lots and lots of storage space, very comfy bed, nice spacious desk, and is overall really good quality for money. Seren has been a great place to live as a first year student and I’d recommend it to anyone who is coming to study at Swansea next year! :)
Thank you for your review, the team really appreciate you taking the time to let us know how much you enjoyed your first year at Seren. It sounds like you really made the most of our modern facilities and fun social spaces! Hope to see you again next year!
It's in great location. Rooms are super comfy. Visited all the other accommodations compared to them it's one I'll recommend.
Hi - thank you for taking to time to review Seren accommodation, we've loved having you to stay with us :-)
Worth the money if you want something a little nicer
Close by to everything in swansea, clean communal spaces, great, friendly staff
It’s great. Staff are always helpful, plenty of washer/dryers etc
Really nice experience all the staff are really helpful and nice and they have lots of events so that you are able to make friends. The buildings are always nice and warm and clean and they have really good study places
A well priced accommodation that provides a large shared kitchen, stable WiFi connection and a comfortable living space as well as all the reception staff being friendly and happy to help
Amazing accommodation! The facilities and social spaces are great. The staff are very friendly and always on hand to help.
Hi, Thank you for your lovely review, it is really great to hear that you are enjoying your stay and are happy with the facilities on site. if you need anything from us dont forget, we have staff on site 24/7 to assist you.
I took a 52 week tenancy and got the price any student can get. It’s a great place to stay, comfortable rooms and great communal area. Your weekend won’t be boring as there are activities and celebrations all around the month. Love how seren hosts each festival making it inclusive for international students and there is NO discrimination. I had exams and there was breakfast served for students which saved us time and money. Would have definitely booked it for next year, unfortunately will not be a student anymore. P.S: great help from the reception and everyone is friendly (left my key in my room a thousand times and yet they are always kind to open the door without making a fuss)
Seren is a place which feels like home , staffs and people here are so friendly
It has been a fun experience in seren!!
Seren Accommodation is one of the best residences I have stayed , plenty social spaces , nice location around city centre, great vibes , haven't regretted living here
It is a great experience living here and all the facilities are also amazing. It’s a great deal and value for money. I am also satisfied with the social spaces and the staff services in this accommodation.
It's a great accommodation. It's a good value and the staff work with you on anything you need. Great choice for those on a study abroad.
felt at home since day one and welcomed by the staff
It’s a very good place for student to socialise
Great accommodation! It is placed right in the middle of the city so you can get everywhere in just a few minutes. All universities are perfectly connected by bus. It has a lot of great comunal spaces where you can have a great time! Really recommend it!
Living at Seren has been such a great experience, everyone is so kind and it's such a social building - I have made many friends here along with many memories
Good to stay here,very easy to go anywhere,tasco express also near by here
Very wonderful accommodation experience with seren. Stuff are nice.
it’s a great spot to socialise and the location is great for getting around.
The location is right next to town
It is one of the best student accommodations with a perfect location. The management is great as well as friendly.
Really nice a friendly environment, staff are lovely and always helpful
Love love love them! I’ve spent two years here and I love it!!
When I first moved into the accommodation, everything that was promised was given. From social events to facilities and cleanliness. However, this quickly changed once you had settled in and your money was gone. Over the last few months, I haven't been able to get in a lift without it being sticky and outright disgusting. I always see cleaning staff around, but nothing is ever clean. Staff are generally rude in most cases, bar a few, with some just opting to make students clearly uncomfortable. Events quickly dried up after the first month or two, with the frequency of events becoming a complete lie. Wifi is generally good, tends to kick you off randomly though. Many broken promises and lies.
The apartment has a gym, laundry room, free breakfast on weekdays, and plenty of activity areas.
I love everything here. It's a great place! I live here in the studio, which is the best experience.
I really love to stay in serene. You can socialise here very easily. And the amenities are wonderful. Also it is near to city centre and railway station that’s really accessible
The service here is perfect，all the stuff is warm！
The best student accommodation👍
It is perfect student accommodation.
A great place to live! Get access to trains and busses and is close to the town centre! It is clean and spacious here with great views
Very nice social areas to sit in when you want to leave your rook but dont want to go far
Stayed here for two years since it opened in 2021. Improved massively now project has finished, great social living space, staff are really friendly, good place to live while at university.
good experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great accommodation lived here past 2 years and had a blast
It’s one of the Best Accomodation ever
People are helpful. The only problem is the responsibility of common kitchen. If you have good flatmates everything will be perfect
Nice place and very comfortable to stay
It is an amazing place that you can actually feel like home. Never had a problem with managing any difficulties and all of the stuff members are sure friendly. Moreover the 24h security really makes a difference with one feeling safe. Train station which is 3 mins away is perfect for those who like to run late.
I have been very happy with my living space this year, the social spaces are very fun to hang out at and my room is the perfect size.
Awesome everything is included on rent. Staff is friendly
It's a very wonderful place to live in.
Staff are friendly. Security has now changed and are now friendly and professional. Good value to money compared to the other accommodations.
Good value for money and excellent location. Very close to town and friendly staff.
I love the accomodation, the social spaces are lovely together with the stuff.
Clean, lots of activités, gym could be bigger
Plan to stay here for all four years. Great location and facilities and the rooms are really good too
Overall its a okay accomodation, the location is alright, But could be better
The only problem is that there is no residential car park
While it has been expensive, it’s been comfortable and well maintained when issues have arised. Staff are welcoming and helpful and keep the place safe
“This could be the most comfort apartment in Swansea! I truly love the karaoke room and the lounge area and study spaces on the first floor. Amazing view and everything is new and modern”.
Way way too expensive for what it offers. Seems like the standard renting experience anywhere in the UK. But Swansea used to be good value and financially accessible.
It is a great student friendly place with all the great comforts provided by them, but the price is also bit high for students who rely on education loans and for those who doesnt have part time jobs.
It is a very lovely place to live. Location wise I honestly could not think of a better place to live being 2 steps away from the train station and 30 steps from wind street. Links to both campuses is amazing and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The facilities here are fantastic with amazing amenities such as a karaoke room and a cinema. I simply would come again!
very welcoming place to live, staff are very friendly and always willing to help. couldn't think of a better location for a student accommodation honestly, amazing to socialise in and meet so many people from different places as there's so many things to do in the building
Accomodation is located by the train station, which is handy if you usually head out to different places and the town centre is 10 mins away by foot. Staff on-site are really nice and kind and the rooms are reasonably priced with multiple options available for each room.
Beautiful building, location is so convenient and perfect for a university student. Absolutely love it here.
Modern accommodation, staff are very welcoming a nice accommodation to live in Swansea
Amazing accommodation. Staff are lovely, especially Rebecca who is so helpful
Staff really friendly, modern clean and comfortable accommodation. Great value for money
lovely staff, fun entertainment and good value for money !
Beautiful building located in the heart of swansea conviently situated next to the train station and city centre just a short walk away from popular hotspots such as wind street, it has great socials spaces such as study offices, pool room, games room and my personal favourite the karaoke room. Also beautiful views from the higher floors of the city and the beach and a wonderful friendly staff which can assist you with any problems you may have.
Lovely view with fantastic social and study spaces. LOVE THE KARIOKI ROOM.
Excellent place to stay if you are a Student at Swansea. Everything is perfect and I couldn’t reccommend it more!
My experience living at Seren has been an exceptionally positive one. I was assigned a rep that helped me to select a room tailored to my specific needs. The attendants at the reception are always accessible and consistently helpful. The location is excellent, walking distance from the city centre, my university campus, and adjacent to the train station (this is especially convenient because my commute is less hectic given this proximity). The property management is responsive and efficient, my maintenance requests are dealt with auspiciously and appropriately, the building is routinely cleaned and offers an unending level of security. I am particularly happy about the student facilities I have access to while living here, a Karaoke room, cinema, gym, study space, gaming room, tesco express and greggs. I absolutely love the social events hosted by the building, they always include us in activities that allow for interaction with other students living here. I will always recommend !
Couldn’t ask for better staff. All very helpful. Minor problems at the start with the building being incomplete but the staff dealt with it very well.
Great staff, great for holding events and making uni life more enjoyable!
Great experience, stayed for my first year, close to town and close to the train station and buses
Great Accommodation, very homely and safe place to live, love it
Fantastic place to live with great social opportunities. Ideal location as well. Fantastic value for money.
Living here has been one of the perks of living in Swansea. I have been able to focus more on school work cos home in SEREN has been a haven. I’m always entertained, comfortable and safe. Thank you, SEREN!!
The place is amazing and value for money really worth it Some problems with cleaning And definitely a problem to solve with wifi! Is too slow and is essential for us as students.
Amazing atmosphere, I have had the best experience there!
Overall a great place to stay and the location is good.
Lovely building, great facilities, nice and helpful staff.
Amazing building and atmosphere, I have made so many new friends through the events.
