Most helpful review

I love living here because the building is always well maintained and the location is perfect for going to Penrhyn Road and Roehampton Vale campus. The building manager and maintenance are always kind and friendly as well. The room itself is quite spacious and has a lovely view so I booked my room for another year.

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.

The location is great, close to everything one would need. It feels very safe with all the cameras and security. The building is cleaned regularly by staff. The management is great, your issues are taken care of as soon as possible. Overall, I loved living in this place and if I had the chance to I would have stayed longer.

Ultra modern rooms with excellent wifi. Great location and quiet building. Very close to Knights Park and Penrhyn Road campuses, and easy access to shopping and restaurants! Wilko is right beside the building which makes buying supplies quick and easy! Laundry room was great and communal room/lounge was almost always available! Perfect place to stay if you like living on your own but you have options to bring friends in or go out on the town! Kingston train station is also a 3 min walk away, making it extremely convenient to get into central London. Managerial staff was always a pleasure to speak to and helped deal promptly with any issues that occurred. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I think it is the best apartment I have ever seen. It has perfect facilities and the rooms are very comfortable. The manager of the apartment is also very strict and earnest. If there is a problem can be solved at any time! Most of all I feel very proud to live here. I love it .

Excellent little spot on the edge of the town centre, close to uni, shopping centres and clubs. staff take exceptional care of the property and facilities, and are very friendly and approachable. Room itself is the nicest I have seen in kingston, boasting superior qualities to competitors. 10/10 would book again, in fact I already have.

Great halls, modern spacious studios, very fast WiFi, TV in common room is great and the roof terrace is the best place to chill. Great location in town centre close to uni and train station, also right next to the shopping centre

I have been living here for the last 2 years (during my Masters degree) and I just wish they had built this building during my Undergraduate! The location is in the middle of Kingston town centre, with many local retail and grocery shops. Kingston Station is only minutes away to take you to Central London. The building is managed and maintained by amazing staffs! Tracey is very friendly, very supportive and always there when needed! Lovely location, amazing people and all bills included, what else can someone want? You get what you pay for, and I promise this is great for its value!

An amazing halls, modern spacious studio, TV in common room is great and the roof terrace is the best place to chill. Great location in town centre close to uni and train station with good links into central London. It’s worth spending a bit more to get a nice place, helpful staff, maintenance done quickly and stress free living!

Amazing location near Kingston University campuses, shops, transportation, town centre, museum, library, the river, two near by markets, etc. Easy walking distance to most places in Kingston, and great transportation links to central London within a 3-5 minute walk. Tracey, the property manager is amazing. Very helpful, welcoming, and willing to talk anytime. I rebooked for a second year because of her. Medhi, who does the maintenance, is amazing, too. Very friendly and willing to help when I have questions. Always completes maintenance in a timely fashion and never worry about if he needs to do a repair in my room while I am gone. Owen who does the cleaning is super nice and helpful too. I wouldn't have rebooked without such an amazing staff. Rooms are beautiful and modern studio rooms. It is well worth spending a bit more to have your own space. Communal space is cozy and can easily fit all residents during events. The roof terrace is my favorite for studying or a evening w/ friends.
