I have a great experience living here so far. The building is always kept very clean, and the maintenance team is quick response whenever there is small issue. The cleanliness and the hygiene of the common areas, kitchen and hallways are always kept to a high standard by the dedicated staff.The laundry facilities are easy to use and reliable. I feel safe and supported in this accomodation. The communication from the management team is always clear and i feel very safe and supported in this community. It is great environment for both studying and relaxing.

Do not book with unite as the heating hasn’t been properly working since i’ve moved in and i’ve reported it two times! It just barely turns on now but the room doesn’t get warm like it’s not on at all!! i have to have two blankets on and two pairs of socks to keep myself slightly warm. It honestly seems like they don’t care at all i’ve not been off any compensation at all.

I stayed at Lakeside for first year. It’s really close to the university I attended, which was super convenient, and my room was big and spacious. That said, not all rooms are the same size, so it can be a bit of a hit or miss. The common room is also a nice touch a good space to relax or study. However, there are some major issues. There were rats constantly running around outside near the building, which was quite unsettling. There was even a time I couldn’t bring myself to enter my building because I was so terrified. Also, the wet room bathroom design wasn’t ideal water would go everywhere, making it feel messy and impractical. On top of that, the laundry facilities (Circuit Laundry, located in the building) were frustrating. The machines often didn’t wash clothes properly and would leave them soaking wet, which was really inconvenient. Overall, Lakeside has a great location and some decent facilities, but the outdoor cleanliness,bathroom setup and poor laundry facilities definitely need improvement.

I’ve had a very disappointing experience with Unite Students. My room has had no working heating since September, and despite multiple maintenance requests and repeated visits to reception, nothing was done. Portable heaters are not allowed, so I was left without any heating during winter. I was even told a heater would be brought to me, but nobody came. I ended up studying for my exams in a freezing room, shivering just to get through revision. Communication was poor, staff were unhelpful, and the lack of urgency was exhausting. This experience has seriously affected my comfort and wellbeing. I would not recommend unless maintenance and student welfare are taken more seriously.

Unite Students Lakeside Accommodation is very beautiful, peaceful and tranquil place to live in. The place is well illuminated with modern lights and has High Definition Cameras every corner of the building. Most advantage, walking distance to City Centre, Aston University, Birmingham City University, University Library, Gyms, 24hr Convenience Stores, Fast Food places, and a lot more to offer for Entertainment. Staff and Night Security, well presentable, polite and friendly manner. Overall, it's great value for what you pay for, very competitive.
