Enjoyed my time at Louise House. The location is perfect and a 10 minute walk to Trafalgar Square. The property is well taken care of with extremely helpful staff, and a good social presence. Great rules that allow you to host your friends from outside the accommodation flexibly and allowing you to gather in the social spaces. However, the common areas could be organised better, but in a year riddled with the pandemic, I can understand why they weren't. The wifi is the best I have ever seen at an accommodation and the home theatre room is my favourite part of the housing! Biggest gripe is the rent, closet 250 quid a week without an ensuite in London might put a lot of people off, and rightfully so.

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.

Overall the accommodation is overpriced for what it is. £352 a week for a non ensuite room with a kitchen that is not even big enough to fit a table is much too expensive, and that is ignoring the fact that my initial room had parts of the ceiling on the floor and a stove that did not work. The cleaning between stays could also be much better as the kitchen was full of junk and moulding food when I moved in. So far the highlight has been that the staff are very kind and attentive and the location is fantastic. Overall I would give it 3 stars
For People That Are Concerned About Booking At The Louise House, here is a discord to ask questions and meet fellow house mates! https://discord.gg/YQE3gaWm
I have stayed at Louise House for 1 horrible year, and it is the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in. It is incredibly unsafe here. The onsite security team has been fired and the front door isn’t even locked! There is a homeless shelter with a methadone clinic and rehab center across the street so there are always homeless people on drugs hanging around the place. There has even been a kidnapping right in front of the building. The standards here are so low that they basically don’t exist. Don’t bother asking reception to do something because it won’t get done anyway. For two months a schizophrenic woman lived on my hallway who screamed about murder every day. Additionally, 3 out of the four washing machines were broken for months, there are mice, we’ve lost heating twice, electricity once, and hot water repeatedly. The walls are super thin, the basement has flooded, and the elevator is always broken.
