I have lived here for almost a year, and the overall feeling is quite good. The staff and the front desk of the apartment are very serious, responsible and enthusiastic. I go to school in Caufeld. It only takes 30 minutes from here to the school, which is very convenient. Across the road is a large supermarket and all kinds of great restaurants. I didn't participate in the various activities organised by the apartment for personal reasons, but I saw that there were many special fun things every month. To sum up, I am satisfied with the whole place (or the apartment team is strong)

I have been living here for about 5 months, and I am truly satisfied with everything. The staff are very friendly and kind, and they offer breakfast on weekdays. The amenities are excellent, including a cinema room, a rooftop BBQ area, and a convenient gym. I have friends who live in other student accommodations, and when I compare their experiences to mine at Iglu, I can confidently say that Iglu is the best. My friends agree with me on this! I would like to thank all the Iglu staff members, with a special thanks to Heidi. She has been incredibly kind, helpful, and has a genuinely good heart.

Living at Iglu Melbourne Central has been an incredible experience! From the moment I moved in, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff and the vibrant community. The location is unbeatable – right in the heart of the city, with easy access to Melbourne Central Station, RMIT, and some of the best cafes and restaurants Melbourne has to offer. The facilities are top-notch! The rooftop terrace offers stunning city views, and the common areas are perfect for studying or socializing. My apartment is modern, cozy, and well-maintained, making it the perfect place to relax after a busy day. What I love most about Iglu is the sense of community. There are always events and activities organized, which makes it easy to meet new people and make friends from all over the world. It truly feels like a home away from home. If you're looking for a safe, convenient, and fun place to live in Melbourne, I highly recommond!

i’ve been living here for over two months and am loving it thus far. the location is convenient-everything in the city is pretty close by. breakfast is rly good and the events are fun and creative. notably, iglu’s community is warm and welcoming- the staff are really kind, they honestly feel like my second parents. they’re so friendly and always check up on us! when i first moved in, heidi, jo and michelle were extremely helpful and guided me through the process. maintenance is also a breeze, usually handled the next day by tim! would definitely recommend iglu for students new to the city🫶🏻

I've been living at Iglu for 6 months now and what truly sets Iglu apart from other student accommodations is their friendly staff. They will remember your name, give you great recommendations for Melbourne restaurants and they will be that in person support team that you need when studying away from home. Living at Iglu is a very personal experience, with staff members who were once international students themselves. They understand the journey and struggles. Not only that, the facilities are clean, modern and easily accessible with great rooftop views and a very cool pool table :) And they always run the best social events! Iglu is my go-to recommendation for any student, extraverted or introverted. Fun and outgoing or chill and quiet. Iglu is an accommodation made for everyone.
