Most helpful review

Living at IQ Kingston has been a great experience as a whole. The IQ staff have been helpful from the very first day I moved in. The room and en-suite bathroom are a comfortable size for a student living in the heart of Kingston town centre. The building is well organised and any maintenance issues are fixed by Adam who is very helpful and friendly. The building has been recently fully renovated and includes a modern study room, and has 2 working lifts. The receptionists, namely Marianne and Gareth, are always friendly, caring and helpful, and deal with any questions very well. I recently moved out and Gareth helped me with my luggage from my room all the way up to car, giving the driver, who was unable to find the building, very clear instructions and ensured everything was well. Despite the construction works that had been going on, they have now fully finished. I would recommend IQ for students looking for value for their money and staff that go above and beyond to help.

"IQ Kingston has been nothing but an absolute disappointment. Let’s start with the positives since there are so few: Reception staff are nice. The area feels safe. It gets cleaned regularly. Now to the real review: There are only 3 washing machines and dryers for the entire building. The rooms are bad; they are rather small, and the bathroom is a literal cubicle made out of plastic, which easily gets stained. There is no common room or social spaces other than next to the bins outside. The freezer space is very small. The people here are completely anti-social and will literally pretend you are not there. Only one of the lifts is working, and there are 7 floors. These are only some noteworthy points. Now to the big problems. The building is completely under construction, and I was not informed until I arrived. When I asked, they referred to it as “maintenance.” Every morning from Monday to Friday at 9, sometimes even 8, the drilling starts and it's extremely loud. All the windows are

Too expensive. Builders in the flat without notice. Only good thing is the gym, but still isn’t open long enough as closes at 8pm

Kingston IQ accommodation is highly recommended. The fact that the receptionist was speaking Greek made me feel very comfortable and the rest team with their friendly behavior. Nice place at a very convenient location in the city!
