Location - In a banging location, reasonably close to Penrhyn Road (15 to 20 minute walk) and Kingston (25 min walk). 10 minute walk to Surbiton station which is a 25/30 minute train to central London Halls Management - They are great in keeping contact with you if there are any issues or general questions. If there are faults your room, the maintenance guys generally come within 24 hours to fix the issue. Security are strict, perhaps sometimes too strict!! Cleaning - Every week you'll have a cleaner clean your flat, but realistically you and your flatmates should be cleaning it yourself. Launderette facilities on site etc Social Spaces - There's not really a proper common room as such, as it is tiny. However there are plenty of green spaces outside where you and your mates can hang out. Social Experience - You are BOUND to meet people within the first two weeks if you're an Undergraduate. Banging Social experience. Internet/Wifi - Uses eduroam which is SUPER QUICK.

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.

Nice accommodation and staff are helpful and resolve and issues in a timely fashion.
I would never recommend any student to stay here on the grounds of everything especially safety.
This accommodation is modern, spacious and has lots of things to do on campus; there are also lots of places to socialise. The rooms are bright and open with good storage (if you pick that room option) and include a decent sized desk. Its only about 10 minutes on the Uni bus to Penrhyn and the town centre, Right on the Themes and you can walk to a nice waterside park. The base kitchen is really decent and each room has their own (very small) cupboard that locks. Theres a newly opened common room thats really cool. The buildings have many issues such as faulty security doors, wifi issues, blackouts in the winter, heating and water issues and a lot of unfinished work from the recent refit. The kitchen has faulty ovens and microwaves that only work like 60% of the time. Security and staff are very rude.
DO NOT GO HERE. Worst place I've ever lived in. The rooms are carpeted and are not clean when you move in. Facilities are very old and bathrooms are so tiny that it is even difficult to brush your teeth without hitting your elbow on the room. The walls are so thin you can hear everything. There is too much construction going on for several months. Staff do not care about you except for 2 who are nice. Security have no idea what they are doing. When there is a problem, security do not help solve the problem. They do not care about the students in the halls. Spend your money elsewhere, not here.

S***** place. Looks hella ugly, not very friendly flat mates, small space, noisy and so on. Hall management keep doing room checks and you’re not allowed to have curtains or mattrasses in your room so basically you cant have visitors. Only positive things I can say is quite okay internet, and free buses to school. But I would never live here if I knew how damn s***** it is. Cant wait to move out tbh
A short walk to Surbiton with regular trains to central London. Free bus to all university sites. Kingston shops/night out 20 minutes walk. No thrills but halls is all about meeting new people and being the largest halls site at KU, you will have a great time and meet life-long friends as I did.
Awful, it was brand new when I moved in, and they were still ‘snagging’ for which read still building. The staff acted like the sterner camp guard as Dachua, handing out ‘community service’ as summary punishment for thought crimes. I left after a few weeks.
Cons: Small, really noisy, halls management aren’t particularly helpful, frequent room checks, cleaning rota and charges are a bit unfair, well out the way of anything Pros: Free bus every 15 mins going to uni and town, en suite (although it’s tiny), If you’ve got good flat mates it makes it much better
Just pay for private accomadation tbh you will be reporting problems with your room on a regular basis
