I have really enjoyed my stay here at EBC. The rooms are very clean and have great storage space. The staff are always so helpful especially Saiful and Uwais. Easy to travel to CSM and LCF. I would really recommend this to future students.

Good, but the heater needs to be fixed
Very nice service and accommodation
A good experience overall and a good stay.
My experience at EBC has been easy, comfortable and extremely satisfactory. It has come pretty close to what I was hoping my student accommodation experience would be like
A decent experience with a pretty good layout for the rooms. Has pretty much everything a student might need. The staff is helpful but could stand to communicate better.
Great There’s every one are so nice!
The staff Baffour is so nice!!!

As nice as a student accommodation can be. Too many stairs to the first floor and no elevator to first floor. Internet just dies sometimes. They always cant find your parcel till you come back the second time. Do almost nothing about flatmates who wont cooperate to clean. That’s all the bad. The rest is alright

There’s no internet connection inside the building and we have to use wifi and have to go outside of the buildings to properly call someone. People who’s not living here is sneaking in from the front gate in the night and gathering in the communication room. The price is not bad but it’s up to you if you want to live here next year.

Location is great - although not that central, a short journey into central London. Bedrooms are a decent size and an en-suite is always a bonus. I like it so much, stayed here for a second year.

I had an incident around the accommodation and Kiran showed an incredible amount of support. She was so nice to me, took care of me by comforting me and even talked to the police for me as I was shaken up. This really had a positive impact on my mental health as I was going through a lot during that time and made my experience at Emily bowes court better than it could be.

The location is half an hour from my uni, I think it's great that it isn't too far, there is also a good variety of shops very close by! There is normally always someone in reception and they've always been more than happy to help me. In terms of cleaning I always see the cleaners in the morning before I go to uni. The wifi is good very rarely it does stop and when it does it is only for a couple minutes then it comes back on for me! Over all, I think it is definitely good value for money.
Hi! Thank you for your review, we're so pleased you are happy with your current stay with us at Emily Bowes Court! Come and visit us at reception for a catchup & find out about our upcoming events you can join. All the best, Emily Bowes Court
Good accommodations, I will book it next year
One of the worst accommodations at the price range. Terrible building management, terrible location. And the prices are increasing by too much next year which don’t match the inflation. Only good thing is the train station nearby so you can get as far away as possible every day.
Hi, Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear you haven't had the best experience. Please visit us at the reception desk to discuss your concerns with us so we can address them to imrpove your experience with us. All the best, EBC Team

The location is fantastic. Everything I need is just a 6 minutes walk away. We have the retail part for all household needs - right from electronics to furniture we can get everything at the retail park. The bus and tube station are super close and the are feels safe and nice to live in. We have a gym group gym in our building, grocery stores are close by and everything is super convenient. I was pleasantly surprised by all this as I hadn't heard good reviews about the place but I am happy with my room, the location and the commute.
I enjoyed living at Emily Bowes Court, It was a bit out of the way from central London but still a nice location. There were good communal areas, and fun social events that took place. The staff were nice and friendly however sometimes our maintenance issues such as mould in the bathroom were not correctly resolved and the laundry was expensive.
I think Emily Bowes Court is an amazing accommodation with a very good location which reaches all UAL colleges in short amount of time, as the underground station is only a 5 minute walk. I believe it saves money on rent and bills, and it's convenient that all bills are included in the rent all together! When moving in didn't have any stress or issues as people who worked there were very friendly and helpful, telling me directions and fixing any problems quickly. I got to hang out with new people and made very lovely friends that are living in my flat and in different part of the accommodation.
I could not say my experience in Emily Bowes Court was perfect. However, I should point out the benefits of the location. The transportation is amazing where you could take the Victoria line to go to central in a few minutes or take the train to travel outside of London. Also, there is a big mall right in front of the station which makes it so much easier to shop for groceries and essentials. Lastly, there is a canal right beside the hall and it was such a treat! It was nice to take a walk after a meal with my friends or family.
When they put locks on our window so we could only open it a certain amount and get no fresh air in a building that was already boiling hot! In summer as well. Fun times…
Mould was is a lot of the rooms and the bathrooms are small, only 1 stove top for 6 people is not enough
I stayed here for a year and the property is nice. It is well connected to the Central London, the nearest tube station Tottenham Hale is just 5 minutes away. Kings Cross station is also 12 minutes from tube. The staff is really helpful and seriously take care of you. The property manager Uwais has been a good support throughout the year. I further had good connections with Saif and Bhardwaj - as I could talk with them in my language, Hindi which felt like home.

Oasis was really helpful when checking out
Amazing staff and great location
Very nice place and area to live and I feel very safe, the receptionists are always nice like Tamia
It’s been a great experience so far.if I have ever had an issue Tamia has been extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend
Really reliable accommodation with really supportive and helpful staff. Definitely feel safe and comfortable. Specifically Tamia, she’s never too busy to help sort out bills, repairs, conflict between other flat mates and provides solutions and just a one of a kind experience especially when you’re feeling homesick also.
The accommodation has amazing reception staff and the local area is safe and close to a retail park and station the accommodation is pretty and the people here are nice and welcoming the view is also amazing
This place is overpriced. Don't believe the showroom, you're likely to get a room that is shabby, with chipped or torn furniture, drawers doors fall off and the fastest way to fix that is to fix it yourself with a nail file. Studios are nice in terms of privacy, othervise prepare for noisy neighbours and filthy kitchen, because nobody is going to clean it. If you like it being clean you'll be the only person cleaning all the mess for everyone. Also prepare for a studio room to be very dark, since the fun building architecture leaves half of the room with no natural light 24/7. Check on the construction works because it will turn your daily life into a nightmare with being forced to wake up at 8 AM from morning drilling is only one of the issues you'll encounter. And don't expect any compencation for it even though you booked your room and lived there several years non stop with no warning of such massive disruptions happening during your stay. Find a better place to live, really.
One of the most affordable student accomodatoins in London, decent for the price. Sometimes there are issues with the wifi and sometimes packages get lost so you really have to push the staff to find it.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are glad you are enjoying your stay here with uS at Emily Bowes Court! If you are facing any issues with parcels or wifi, please speak to a member of the reception team who will be able to support you. Our reception desk is 24/7 and our site email address is EmilyBowesCourt@unitestudents.com and we can provide you with further information. Thank you EBC Team!
Don't book here or at any unite students accommodation. There was a red fire ant infestation for half our stay (academic year 20/21). The receptionist and maintenance team are just plain rude. The wifi drops and there is no signal in the accommodation at all. The common room was closed even when restirctions allowed it to be open and to print something off theyd send you down the street to north lodge to print something out. There is not 24/7 service as they promote as the staff decide to close reception hours at a time and the onsight number doesnt work. I complained to unite a number of times and they say theyre going to look into it and i havent had a reply since. They also try to scam you out of your deals as i had to ask them numerous times to add it onto my account and they still haven't. Don't waste your money. Go elsewhere.
Emily Bowes Court is not what the majority of the reviews say it is on other review sites! We have had red ant infestation since the summer of 2020. I've had post delivered that was very expensive that was needed for my uni, packaging specifically said that it was delicate, and the person at reception proceeded to chuck it to me, not handling it with care or anything. You would expect student accommodation would have internet that doesn't go down, and if it does, it gets sorted immediately. However no, with assessment due and many people calling saying it is practically an emergency, they do nothing. But as much as I have had a bad experience, I know people who were in my flat and around me in this accommodation who experienced much worse!
I wouldn't rebook, can barely use the common areas as the same group are always there and cause noise til about 4am most nights, staff do nothing to combat it or keep us safe. Most students don't social distance or wear masks, flatmates are quite noisy shouting on the phone all the time and sneaking in guests. Not really worth the money as en suites aren't actual en suites just pods put in normal rooms , barely room to move in them. Others in the flat don't help to clean and unite also do nothing about it but then penalise you for other peoples mess. Random people coming in and out of the flat all the time.
Halls were great, great facilities, bathrooms aren’t great but they do the job, kitchen facilities are good, halls are clean, easy to make friends, social area with two courtyards, staff are so friendly
Emily Bowes Court is overpriced, filthy, run down, inadequately ventilated, and covered by a perpetual fog of weed smoke. It’s also poorly managed, staffed by people who are unfamiliar with the concept of customer service, noisy, insecure and improperly maintained. A typical Unite property, in other words. Do yourself a favour and steer clear.
I lived in Unite St Pancras Way last year and thought that was bad. It was paradise compared to Emily Bowes Court, where I will be stuck for the next nine months. The only good thing about this property is its proximity to the tube so you can get away from it. The building is run down and all internal areas are kept at a constant temperature similar to that of the planet Mercury. Unite makes a big deal of the high level of security afforded by its properties, but the card reader on the main door at EBC doesn’t work so people just bang on the glass to be let in (and if there’s nobody to let you in, better be prepared to stand outside all night); I was given a room with a door that didn’t lock; and my stuff was stolen from the shared kitchen within 2 weeks of checking in. My room was so filthy I had to spend two full days scrubbing every surface with Dettol before I could touch anything without feeling sick. Avoid this place (and this company) like the plague.
The halls overall was a nice place to stay for my first year of university however there were several things that I would say need to be considered when living there. The location is in zone three so travel was very expensive. There was also a lot of building work going on in the accommodation for a long time. It was very loud, starting early in the morning and went on for several weeks if not months. There were also a lot of instances in which the halls emailed us informing us people would be coming into our kitchens and bedrooms which made it feel as if there was little privacy. On one occasion we had to pack up the entirety of our room including all of our things and put them into boxes for repainting which only caused more problems. Due to this repainting my flatmate has been wrongly charged £90 for “wall damage” when there was clearly no damage to the room. The prices are also going up this September so may as-well stay somewhere better :-)
No stars for me! When I went for the viewing, I wanted to view the room that I was going to get given but the women who showed us a round said the only room they could show is the showroom. when I finally got to see my room (2 days later, I had all my stuff with me to move in), the was nothing like the showroom, it was worn out, wood was chipped here and there, the room had a weird smell, dusty (I couldn't even breathe properly), I was told the walls are thick but they are not as I was in the room for 20mins and I could hear the boiler and someone having a shower. the kitchen was worse then the room, horrible, disgusting, dirty, messy, broken, old and I checked out in 20mins. the only good thing about the accommodation is the location and thats it. there are better options out there, don't waste your money.
It's okay, but a bit expensive. They also have very strict rules.
