Amazing reception staff, really welcoming and ready to help. Washing and dryers were a really problem, didn’t work half of the time but got replaced a few months ago and the new ones work wonderfully!

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.

Very good student accommodation. Staff are attentive and they are polite. They do jobs quickly. If there is a maintenance fault they resolve it as soon as possible.
My experience has been largely positive. The rooms are a very good size and other facilities such as the kitchen and laundry room are also very reasonable. The flat has a good atmosphere, both students and staff are generally friendly and polite. However, the distance from university makes it somewhat inconvenient, particularly on days when you have 1-2 hours free between lectures/seminars.
Staff are really helpful at sorting out any issues, Maz helped me with my shower and was super friendly
Mazlum at reception was way too helpful. With his help, it was pretty easy to move in.
Would recommend to prospective students, great place to start first year at UCL
The property is new, the internet is great.
Cheila was an incredible worker here and really helped me whenever I needed anything or had to do any maintenance in my room
Such a good accommodation, I really enjoyed my time here. Cheila at reception is so lovely and helpful!!
Had a lovely experience at this accommodation! The receptionists including Cheila Simone were really helpful with any problems I had. I would definitely recommend this place to any future students !
I would recommend here to everyone.
Amazing staff- Cheila incredibly friendly and helpful
Overall a great experience. Would stay here again
Hello, Thank you! We are pleased to hear you have enjoyed living with us at St Pancras Way.
I felt that this accommodation met my initial expectations and I had a pleasant experience with my flatmates. I was also able to meet many friends here so I’m happy about that.
Hi, We love hearing your feedback. Thanks for the review and we are really glad you are having a great experience at St Pancras Way.
People at the reception are extremely helpful (especially Cheila who helped a lot with last minute issues :)) The accommodation is great and I would recommend it for students looking for premium student accom at a relatively reasonable price.
Amazing reception staff, really welcoming and ready to help. Washing and dryers were a really problem, didn’t work half of the time but got replaced a few months ago and the new ones work wonderfully!
Great accommodating staff! Chelia is amazing and help all of my friends and I with the stress of moving. Give that lady a raise!! Accommodations are very nice and clean and new. Loved it
The staff are always really friendly and willing to help out with any issues. It’s always nice to see them around the building and reception. Chiela is a star and always looking for ways to improve the life of the residents. Overall I feel really happy here and don’t think I could find better student accommodation elsewhere. The only issue has been the laundry facilities, there have been a lot of technical issues and it is also really expensive even if you don’t use the driers. I wish that they didn’t use an external provider for this, as it means the on site team can’t do much about the issues. I also think it would be cheaper for students if it was dealt with in house, but more work for the maintainance team. Machines break when they are frequently overloaded, but I believe this is happening due to the high cost of using them and people trying to get their money’s worth.
Ashley and Dan were the best night staff always a good laugh with them, overall I would say a great location and great socialising opportunity for first years and great location for a good night out.
Thank you!
Great staff that were very helpful, great room although I was unfortunately on the bottom floor with the public passage balcony outside of my room without a view that had a light blaring all night. On-suite was good as was the room in general. Reception always helpful with packages as well as general issues. Walk to uni wasn't a deal breaker. However, my main issue was dealing with a Silverfish issue throughout my stay due to a broken extractor fan in which I found them in my bathroom and sometimes in my bed when I woke up, although this would be one at a time and not swarms of them. I believe it might be an issue with my particular room and not a general issue. Would be perfect if this wasn't a present issue. Decent wifi for London standards (Moderate speed) but did have outages at times, although the staff were adamant to fix this and is due to the provider.
Hi, Thank you for sharing your experience!
Good location for students. Cheila is super friendly and clearly puts effort in to students wellbeing
Hi, Thank you for leaving a review! Cheila is truly amazing!
Had a great experience at SPW. I worked as a student residence advisor at the residence so my experience was a little different to other students living here. We had a few difficult student welfare cases to deal with throughout the year, with Cheila as the team leader there, my team and I had great support. She always went above and beyond for the residents. This is really rare to see in uni accommodation. She was very innovative in coming up with ideas, very quick to respond to issues and well-equipped to sort them out. And like always, it's nice to be greeted by Cheila when we see her at reception on our way in and out from uni - her energy is contagious!
Hi, Thank you so much for leaving the review for us. We are so happy to hear that you had a good experience as a student living in St Pancras Way and as a resident ambassador with us. Really lovely words for Cheila - she deserves that.
heating system is good! reception is helpful too
Thank you!
Night team great ashley especially
Hi! Thank you! St Pancras Way Team
Ashley and Ripon are frickin legends!! Honestly they’re the reason why I feel so welcome at st pancras!!
Hi! Thank you so mucj for sharing your experience with us. We are so happy to hear that our Student Safety Team have made you to feel welcomed.
I am a student is staying here since the COVID pandemic began (2020-21) and this accommodation is NOT worth its extortionate prices. Staff are friendly while you are greeted into your 10 man-flat with very little space and £270 per week room that hasn't been cleaned since its previous tenant. (Every single person I met has said the same) Social scene is DIRE, not just because of the pandemic, oh no, because the advertised common rooms and terraces are actually inaccessible. We were told it was because of lockdown, yet all advertised facilities except for the £7 for-every-wash-you-do Circuit Laundry remained locked for the entirety of our stay, even after restrictions were lifted and gave us little comfort. Despite this, St Pancras Way management refused to acknowledge or reply to many of our concerns, we felt bad for the staff that clearly has to deal with such leadership. No reduction in accommodation fees, no uni social life and thus no reason to waste your time.
Really anti social, flats are dark, social spaces are rarely used and the staff make no effort to enable socialising in the first few weeks. You get 1 person in 10 who had good flat mates and it’s overpriced. Some rooms face a brick wall
Just don't bother. Construction work and loud drilling directly outside windows for weeks on end in EXAM SEASON, infrequently and badly cleaned, fines thrown around left right and centre, hot water outages frequently, most unsociable UCL hall, and the price is absolutely obscene,
Not worth the money. When I had exams they were building things outside. RIGHT DURING EXAM SEASON. Rooms are nice, can't fault them. But inconsiderate, unsociable, not worth your money.
Would definitely not recommend. Yes it is an en-suite accommodation and it’s in Camden but I (luckily) enjoyed the trek to uni everyday. However I’ve also been lucky to be in a sociable flat - I’ve met many other people staying here who have had a terrible halls experience due to the unsociable atmosphere. Considering the amount of money paid I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that we have cleaners to only clean our kitchen once every 2 weeks. I know many accommodations where people pay much less and yet still have cleaners in their flats weekly if not more than once or twice a week. The advertising is poor due to the stress on having ‘roof-top terraces’ when in fact these are only available for people who pay even more money to live in studio flats. The common rooms are nice I cannot fault & the bedrooms themselves are nice. The worst thing is that they have ridiculously decided to start construction DURING EXAMS! They drill and shout outside bedrooms everyday!
Pros: Great location, right in the middle of Camden. Broadband speed good, though the wifi is a bit patchy. There are reasonably-sized social spaces. Cons: Not very clean; general disrepair evident throughout; lifts frequently break down; never any hot water (lukewarm at best and often stone cold); inadequate kitchen facilities; walls paper-thin; no information given to residents about how to access bins/post/laundry facilities/etc; eye-wateringly expensive (especially given all the other cons).
The absolute worst experience of my life--do not rent with them!!!!!!
We have ensuites!! And a double bed!!
Clean, big, comfortable, well-equipped ensuite rooms which actually look pretty nice. Right on the edge of Camden, so you get the best of Bloomsbury and the Camden amenities. Only thing is that it isn't very social between halls, but I got really lucky and shared with some amazing people so I wasn't hurting socially. Overall, I loved it!
Great new ensuite rooms, amazing location and very friendly staff, however price is quite steep.
Really great place, clean and modern, with opportunities to meet others in the accommodation.
In the grimmer part of Camden, 15 minute walk from UCL or 5 minutes on the tube if you have the money. Too expensive really, but all of UCL accommodation is the same.
