Definitely good value for money. Can't find a better accommodation at this price in central London! There is everything you need even though rooms and bathrooms are very small. Overall, amenities could be more modern, but the property is undergoing renovations this summer so hopefully it will be better in the future. There have been frequent water interruptions but I imagine the underlying problem will be fixed with the renovation. I got lucky and had great flatmates but know of friends who didn't have many interactions with the other students living in their flat. I'd definitely recommend it for a one-year stay.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

Thank you for your taking the leave to leave us a feedback. We are pleased that you find the location suitable.
Property is well managed and maintained. There were some water repair works this year during term which caused some difficulty, I wish we were informed ahead of term or had rent adjusted. This repair probably means that the property is in better shape for the next term however.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a feedback.
The rooms and en suite bathrooms are spacious enough, but the flat kitchen is extremely small. We have 6 chairs, and there's 7 of us in the flat! Even if we got another chair, there would be no physical space for it. The staff are nice, but every time we complain/ask for something to be fixed/solved, weeks go by without knowing what is going on. The common room is quite small but well furbished, it would be even better if we had a communal area in each flat, too. The cleaning of the flat kitchen, which is scheduled weekly by contract, doesn't happen regularly.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
Thank you for the feedback, we would love to find out more so we can improve. It would be great if you come to Reception and let us know what flat you are in so we can help make things better!
Lilian Knowles House is a fantastically located student accommodation. The en-suite rooms are functional and reasonably sized. The staff is helpful, generally kind, and the common areas are nice to meet other people from the hall.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
We appreciate the lovely review, it is a fantastic location isn't it, and a great community too! I will pass your compliments to the team - thank you!
Best thing about the hall is the area, very close to Old Spitalfields Market, 20 min walk to the Tower of London. Good connectivity thanks to Liverpool Street Station.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
Thanks for the review, pleased to hear you love the great location as much as we do!
I love homey environments and Lilian Knowles provides exactly that! The management team who greet us at the door are the warmest and friendliest people and I always feel like I'm coming home. The quality of the rooms could be better - certain cupboards, closet and bathroom tiles are coming off so not sure if its worth the price, but the maintenance team are quick to fix issues.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that the team makes you feel at home. Please let us know if you required any further maintenance repair.
Wifi sometimes doesn’t work properly, especially on my iPad at night. I sent inquiry several times os add to the provider but it hasn’t fixed yet.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
Thanks for the feedback. If you pop to Reception we can contact the provider to get it fixed for you.
the only problem is cleaning!!!!!
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
Thanks for the review, sorry to hear about the cleaning. Please let us know which room you are in so we can investigate and make it better. Pleased to know all else is good!
Friendly staff. Great location with metro/train/bus stations nearby and lots of restaurants and grocery stores around. Internet connection broke once. The building is a little on the aged side.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
Thanks for leaving us a review, our location is amazing isn't it! I will pass your compliments to the team, it will make their day.
Lilian Knowles is perfectly located! I am close to my university which means my commutes are not too long, and I am also situated in a bustling neighborhood with amazing food and sites to see.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
Yes! It is a perfect location, we are glad you love it as much as we do!
The location is great! But the building is not updated and there is frequent maintenance issues.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
Thank you for the feedback, the location is amazing isn't it! If you have any repairs we haven't fixed yet come tell us so we can sort it for you.
Pretty decent rooms. Kitchen in my flat was a bit small though. I wish there were more social spaces and a gym. Everything else is lovely.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
So happy to hear the site is lovely, I will pass your compliments to the team - thank you!
I enjoyed my stay here, the staff is very friendly and the rooms are in an overall good condition. The area is really lively, but not one of the safest. Depending on where your window is facing, it can get quite loud though, especially on the weekends. Also, the bathrooms are quite small, which for me as a tall person is difficult sometimes. Overall, I‘m happy with my experience though.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
I will pass your compliments to the team - thank you!
I am quite satisfied with my accommodation, even if some aspects could be improved. But generally, I would suggest Lilian Knowles to incoming students given the location and the proximity to the university.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
Thanks so much for the great review and recommendation. Pop down to Reception and let us know which aspects we can improve!

Thanks so much for the great review! We're really pleased you like your new home, and the team here at Lilian Knowles.
I've been really happy with my accommodation at Lillian Knowles - the location is amazing, the room is basic but comfortable an meets all my needs. I'd recommend.

Thanks so much for the great recommendation - we're glad you like your new home!
I'm happy with my room and flat. They are quite clean with relatively new fittings. Did face some issues with uncleaned shower drain and less refrigerator space in the kitchen.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
Thanks for leaving us a review and sorry you had a couple of issues. It sounds like these are sorted now so please pop in to Reception and tell us if they aren't.
Maintenance takes a very long time and many things in the flat are broken or missing
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
Really sorry you have stuff missing in your room. If you let us know at Reception what you need we will sort it out for you.
The accommodation has a perfect location and the rooms are pretty confortable. The staff is always here to help you!

Thanks so much for the lovely review, we're so happy to receive it and that you like living here as much as we like working here!
The space is well-maintained with security and management looking after the well-being of students. My biggest issue is the lift has been under maintenance for the past several days and we have not received updated communication on the status.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
Thanks for leaving us a review, really happy to know you like the team here. Sorry it took us a couple of days to fix the lift. It is working now and an email sent to all residents of the block to let you know.
A least each weekend they should live some biscuits or food to feel more comfortable in the accommodation.
![](https://media.studentcrowd.net/s170-q70-cfill/20230628153608-sanctuary-students-1.png )
Thanks for the review and the feedback, we think that is a really good idea! If you pop down to Reception now we have some Halloween candy to give out.
All in all nice accommodation. I have no major problems. However, reported an issue with microwave a couple weeks ago and no action taken yet. Still, staff is okay and try to help with issues.

Thanks for the nice review, we're really happy you like it here. Sorry about the microwave. If you let us know your flat we will deliver you a new one.
Located in very good location and the room is cozy enough for the rental prices paid.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased that our location and rental price was suitable for you.
Lilian Knowles house was a great place to stay because it was super connected. Just a 3 minute walk to Liverpool street station and with a boots, Sainsbury's, Tesco and halal KFC very closeby. Also just a few minutes walk from the iconic bricklane, spitalfields, moorgate park. Very buzzing area. Apart from a couple of maintenance issues the accommodation in itself was great, the reception staff was very nice and the events coordinators made sure everyone enjoyed things.

Good experience overall, but certain parts of the accommodation are old and not maintained very well. Additionally, there are occasional problems with fire alarm and water leaks

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased you had a good experience staying with us. We welcome your feedback on the leaks and the fire alarms. We have recently replaced both our fire panels and have carried out checks of detectors in the corridors and bedrooms. We have and are continuing to carry out repairs to our pipe work.
I really enjoyed my stay at Lilian Knowles House. Before I moved in I was quite put off by the Google reviews, but I guess only the people who had (or found) a reason to complain are writers of reviews. The staff are very friendly and helpful and coming home after a long day and being greeted by name makes you feel at home, even in a big, unfamiliar city.

My experience has overall been good and comfortable. The location and value for money are great. Some areas of improvement could be the organisation aspect on the first day of moving in and maintenance of property (there were floods in our block for example).

Thank you for taking time out to leave us a review. We are pleased that our location is great and that had the opportunity to meet people some nice people.
The only good thing about this place is its location. this accommodation has been neglectful when it comes to maintaining basic amenities. For instance, there has been an ongoing problem with a broken blind in my room since the day I moved in. This not only affects my privacy but also compromises the overall comfort and functionality of the living space. Despite repeatedly requesting a replacement, no action has been taken to resolve this matter, leaving me frustrated and dissatisfied with the level of service provided.

I loved living in Lilian Knowles House - the location is absolutely incredible. Further, every room has a private bathroom, which is a steal for the price paid per week! This is a really nice place to spend a year while studying.

We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Lilian Knowles House, we thank you for your feedback.
All in all, it's an affordable place to live in Central London. It's so strategically located, no complaint about it! However, the building maintenance needs to be improved as there have been quite a number of flooding/pipe bursts incidents occurred.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. This is to confirm that we are carrying out maintenance repairs across the site to improve our building for the future.
Great location and kind staff but room has flooded multiple times (which as been a problem in the past) and the management team seems completely uninterested in fixing the root plumbing problems.

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear that you don't think we got the leaks fixed fast enough but good to hear that you liked our site team and location.
The management staff at LKH is SO horrible that it takes away from the other pleasant experiences of the form. They are rude, unwilling to listen, and extremely terrible unprofessional. I would not recommend anyone to live here and suffer the inevitable experience of talking to the support staff. From the cleaning staff to the reception management, utter disregard for residents and rude behaviour is persistent. The quality of room is fine and the location is excellent but it does not compensate for the management’s attitude.

Really sorry to hear the management staff at LKH weren’t able to help in this instance and didn’t meet the standards we would like. We will use your feedback to make things better for the future. If you would like to give us more details about what went wrong, we can try to put it right for you. Pleased to hear you liked the location and room though.
Bad maintenance. Rude, lazy staff at the front desk and in housekeeping. Common areas not cleaned regularly. Would not recommend staying here.

Really sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay with us and had issues with our maintenance, cleaning and office teams. We will use your feedback to make things better so if you would like to give us more details about what went wrong, we can try to put it right for you.
I have run into multiple issues while living at Lilian Knowles, including extremely rude staff, an unresponsive studen warden, security concerns, and broken appliances. I so wish I had gotten an apartment instead of paying high rates to live in this building.

Value for money! Great location

Thank you for taking time out to leave us a review. We are pleased that you found our residence value for money and a fantastic location.
Poor sound insulation. You can hear exactly every step from above. Congratulations to you if he or she is an active walker who sleeps late night and wakes up in the early morning. You can barely sleep and concentrate on work because the walking sound can wake you up in awkward hours. Terrible sleeping and living experience. WiFi and internet service are not available few days this month. The common room and study room are quite small when comparing to some of the LSE postgraduate halls. Also, free printing service is not provided. The only good thing is the location. It's near the Spitalfield Market, 24-hour supermarket, Liverpool Street and Algate East stations, and Shoreditch. The transportation network is good.

Really sorry to hear about your issues at LKH. We have since changed internet providers and service levels have improved. Pleased to hear you liked the amazing location and transport links though - we love it too!
Terrible experience. WiFi is constantly broken and no intention of hall management to fix it. Warm water is off for days. Laundry room is more broken than fixed. Hall management takes weeks to respond to emails or just ignores it completely.

Really sorry to hear about your issues at LKH and that we weren't able to meet the standards we would like. We will use your feedback to make things better for the future and now have a different internet provider with better service standards. If you would like to give us more details about what went wrong, we can try to put it right for you.
WORST MANAGEMENT. they do not care about the students. i live on the 5th floor and my lift has been broken for 6 weeks now with no end in sight. all they tell us is "tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow". something as simple as fixing a lightbulb in my room took 3 weeks. making the washroom fan work took 6 weeks. Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT COME HERE. believe me. you will thank me later.

Really sorry to hear the management staff at LKH weren’t able to help in this instance and we weren't able to fix the things that broke in your flat as quickly as we would like. We will use your feedback to make things better for the future.
Extremely disappointed with the hall. I chose to live in student housing so I could avoid problems with administration and focus on school, but this has not been the case. The administration does not work at all, does not respond and when they do respond does not offer any solutions. We've had the lift out for 6 weeks, the fans in our bathrooms broken for 8 weeks, an oven that doesn't bake, only broils and smells of burning paint. After repeated conversations with management, we are just given apologies or ignored. Also, you cannot choose which floor or room you are in, so it's quite possible you'll be facing either a construction site or a street with a lot of loud drunk people passing who can see in the windows or into the common interior area where people are talking as they pass through to different blocks. Fire alarms go off quite frequently in the middle of the night or early hours of the morning. Really I would think twice before trying your luck in Lilian Knowles.

Recurring problems with electricity (kitchen appliances don't work in studio) and fire alarms, which the staff are unwilling to fix, regardless of promises made. Rather disappointing, considering this is one of the more expensive LSE halls. Not really a social hall, given that everyone is postgrad, but if you came here to study, that shouldn't be a problem.

Sorry to hear that some of the kitchen appliances in your studio room didn't work and that you had issues with the fire alarm going off. We will use your feedback to make things better for the future. Really pleased to hear you found the accommodation good for studying though.
Good hall with genuinely nice people
